THE HOUSE OF THE WEEK
MERALD AND NEWS. Klimilti Faltf. Ort.
Efanch Has Homey, Midwestern Flavor
By DAVID I. BOWEN
There's an air of warm Mid
western hospitality about this
neat three-bedroom ranch, de
signed by Architect Elmer Cyl
leek of Elgin, 111.
The living and dining room are
in line. Contrary to the usual
arrangement which places these
rooms parallel to the front wall,
in this home they run from front
to back between the bedroom
section and the service area.
One of the extras this makes
possible in B-47 in the House of
the Week series is a television
room separated from the dining
room by a folding partition. If the
TV watchers are a minority, the
accordion doors can be closed to
separate the viewers from the
talkers. At other times, the
doors can be opened making
the TV screen visible from din
ing room and even the kitchen.
With a door opening into the
bedroom hall, the TV room also
can double as a guest bedroom.
Architect Gylleck points out
thai the back-to-back plumbing of
the two full baths in the bed
room section holds live cost of
this luxury to a minimum. The
closet in the master bedroom is
extra large, taking up almost an
entire wall.
There's convenient access from
the two car attached garage

Doughs Fir Area Characterized 'Underdeveloped)
Characterized as an underdevel
oped timber supply area, the 14
million - acre Douglas fir region
of Oregon and Washington has
been pictured as a "matter of lo
cal concern and a national prob
lem." "There is too much capital in
vestment in limber inventory ami
too little in advance roads to cap
ture the full timber potential. The
prospect of a timler supply de
cline in the years to come is
the real mark of the region's un
derdevelopment," declared John
Fedkiw, Pacific Northwest Forest
and Range Experiment Station.
