THE HOUSE OF THE WEEK
Filet Mignon Comfort On Hamburger Budget
By DAVID L. BOWEN
Designing a house so that it t
tuill 0iva n lif.timp of comfort'
and anticinale the needs of a fam
ily is no easy task under any
conditions.
Just as a housewife discovers
in planning the family meals, the
smaller the budget the more ditli-
cult the job. Anybody can cook
appetizing meals with steak
every menu; the challenge comes
when the piece de resistance must
be hamburger nvat.
For" the architect, devising 0
plan for an efficient and comfort'
able three-bedroom home inside
1,000 sq. ft. of space is parallel
to tlie housewife's problem of
serving interesting meals or
hamburger budget. And just as
tlie housewife splurges now and
tlien on n good cut of beef.
Architect Derick B. Kipp fudged
a bit on his space budget
House of the Week B-54 to push
tlie total to 1,030 sq. ft.
But inside this spartan limita
lion he managed to include over
sized closcls in each of the three
bedrooms, a private half-balli for
tlie master bedroom, a well pro
portioned living room with fire
place, a coat closet' at the en
trance vestibule, and comfortable'
dining space in the kitchen.
"Area comfort is' stressed in
this plan," Architect Kipp ex
plains. "Large rooms In every
living 7one have been worked out
with sufficient hall space to sep
arate areas, but without wasting!

A MAXIMUM MINIMUM: There ar only 1,030 sq. ft. of
space in this three bedroom home, but Architect Der
ick B. Kipp included a lot of extras usually found only in
any space, wan a central vesti
bule. even a modest home such
as this one can count on the ad
vantages of good circulation which
leaves the living room free of un
necessary traffic."
As an economy bonus, the ex
terior walls form a simple rec
tangle and plumbing is eoncen
trated in a single wall. Width of
house alone is 37 8 . Breezeway
and garage add 26'8". Depth is
27'4".
Tlie living room is planned with
good wall space and one big front
window for easy furniture arrange
ment. It has a fine proportion
that makes it easy to decorate.

Children Die
In The Congo
By Hundreds
WASHINGTON fUPI-The Rev.
Archie Graber would like you to
know that while you are eating
dinner tonight, eight children will
die of starvation in the Congo.
If this information disturbs you,
several thousand miles away, you
can imagine how it affects the
Rev. Mr. Graber, who is a Proles
lant missionary in the Congo's
war-torn Bakwanga Province.
He doesn't read about starving
children. He watches them die,
at the rate of 200 a day, and
helps to bury their bloated little
black bodies. -
In a world hardened to the
spectacle of human suffering, it'
has not been easy for the Rev.
Mr. Graber and other mission
aries to communicate their sense
of shock and horror to the well
fed Christians of Europe and
America.
