Special Plywood Home Designed For Elderly A demonstration home that rep resents the first national break through in retirement housing was the biggest drawing card for del egates to the White House Con ference on Aging. Called "House of Freedom" by the three non profit organizations who developed it, the model home represents the result of extensive research in design for persons over 60. The house includes two bedrooms, a separate dining loom, modern "sit-down" kitchen and a special hobby room. Its designers say the house can he built for about $9,000 anywhere in Ihe U.S. It was designed and built by the Douglas Fir Plywood Associa tion in coAponsoiship with the Na tional Retired Teachers Associa tion and American Association oil Retired Persons. A committee of nine nationally-recognized author ities in the field acted as advis ers. The 3.8O0 delegates to the White House Conference, held .Ian. 9-12 in Washington. D.C., were asked to evaluate the special features built into the house. These com posite opinions, along with other information, will be made avail able later to those interested ir retirement housing.

Persons of retirement age don't need a "home for the handi capped," according to William C, Fitch, executive secretary of the two groups of retired persons. wiiose comnined membership is nearly 500,000. "They want a comfortable place to live in familiar surroundings Filch said. "But many are living in houses too big or too incon venient for them. House of Free dom was developed specifically for the senior citizen, but it should provide some cye-onei: to everyone in the comfort and convenience that can be deliv ered at low cost." The sponsors said plans for House of Freedom could be adapted to a wide variety of ar chitectural styles and the floor plan is capable of being combined ill duplexes or fourplcxcs or ofl being used as n unit in tract row housing.
