Easy To Build Patio Is Cpveryone who enjoys outdoor I living finds added pleasure in this easy to build patio. When built according to step-by-step di rections outlined in a new home improvement book, the patio not only provides a cool, convenient and decorative shaded area, but! also keeps adjacent rooms de crees cooler. The secret to tins handsome project lies in an in genious air vent that eliminates -every possibility of trapping hot air. Directions assume you have never built a patio and explain evtv step from selecting the site, drawing a plan if tame is required by local building codes, excavating foundation trenches, pouring a concrete slab, laying flagstone, to framing and cover ing roof with translucent plastic panels. To take the mystery and more than half the cost out of con struction every step is illustrat ed, while directions provide list of materials for a patio meas uring 12 feet deep by CO feet long, any size can be built by following procedure outlined. All materials specified, including the handsome translucent panels, are "stock items readily available in ' lumber yards everywhere. The plastic roofing panels come ' (wo widths, 25'i" and 33 1-3' 'from 8, 10, 12 to 16 - feet i length. As the directions indi- "cdtc, rafters can be spaced 24' apart when using the 25'i" width 'panel; 32" apart for the 33'a width. The overlapping joint isi scaled with an easy to apply scaler tnat keeps out water, dust, insects, etc. Those who believe themselves all thumbs and hesitate to use a hammer or saw, can save more than Vt just by reading the book. When you become familiar with construction, you can Intelligently discuss the work ' with a con tractor, carpente or home im prover. By Knowing what needs to be done, buying your own ma terials, substantial savings can J effected. Additional savings will be ef fected by making certain the pa- tio is built according to specifi cations. Many fast buck home improvers quote costs based on how little the customer knows and frequently substitute cheap ost possible materials.

' blocks are and how to work with Ihcm. Any construction possible with brick is possible with block. A garage, a retaining wall, a deco rative half wall around a patio or an outdoor fireplace are items that can be built of these blocks Light Block The popular lightweight block is made of Portland cement, w tor and an aggregate of cinders instead of sand or gravel hence the name, cinder block. Most blocks are partially hol low, are nominally 8 inches high, 16 inches long and 8, 10 or 12 inches wide. Actual measure ments are -inch less to allow for mortar joint of that thick-; ncss. Stretcher blocks will make up the largest part of any wall, with corner, lintel and other special! blocks making up the difference. Most building supply houses and lumber yards carry an assort ment that will take care of most! building problems: Header blocks' tic in lloor joists; lintel blocks' have recesses for door sash or window frames; sill blocks arc for use below windows. Bullillng Blocks Rcfoie building Willi block, make certain you have a solid footing of concrete. For a wall dig below the frost line and make lite fooling twice the width of thei wall, centering the wall on it. Fur an outdoor fireplace, pour a concrete slab. Use a mortar mix that will cling to the blocks without oozing when you lay the blocks one part masonry cement to three pails sand is a good mot- liir mix. Cut down on the sand if the structure requires greater strength. Cover the footing with Dlcnlv of mortar, apply mortar on suc ceeding rows of block in a dou-! blc row along bolh edges, butter morlar onto the end of the block you arc pulling in place. Use a line level and tap each block unui i is level, scraping awav the excess morlar while it is still fresh. Old Story Don't use old mortar. When II doesn't soem lo stick anymore. make up a fresh batch. Use dry, not wet blocks. Blocks expand when they get wet. shrink when drying, which could open up joints. Fresh morlar is easier to clean than old, so clean up as you go along. You won't want hollow blocks for the top row as they michl till with water. Use a row of capl blocks. Or lay a strip of metal lath before you lay the last row. then fill the holes with morlar and smooth It off. Things Get Deep Clean With Lewis SAN FRANCISCO (UPD-When F. C. Lewis talks about getting things clean, he doesn't mean just squeaky clean he means micro scopically clean. "The world is really quite a oirty place, you know," he said Nothing personal, of course but your shirt is covered with tens of thousands of dirt particles and then there are particles from your scalp, and your skin is constantly flaking away, Lewis is a slim, dapper and rather clean looking Englishman who sells commercial dry clean ing equipment that he says wiil get garments, blankets and the like cleaner than anything else yet devised. II takes a micro- '.scope to find "dirt" on garments run through his equipment. This sort of cleanliness has be come of vital importance in this! era of space technology, accord ing to Lewis. Fasy To Contaminate A wayward speck of dusl, an eyelash, even a fingerprint can cause malfunctions in the delicate control mechanisms of rockets and space capsules. In fact, Lewis said, several ac cidents involving the loss of ex pensive missiles have been traced to such "contamination." One way of preventing this is doing a super-cleaning job on the clothes of workers in the so-called "clean rooms" where certain space equipment components are assembled under ultra-sanitary conditions. Lewis' company, the J.C. Spcn cer Corporation of America, is the U.S. marketing organization for equipment developed by Lewis and manufactured in England by Neil & Spencer Ltd. Lewis is president of the marketing firm, which has headquarters in Los Angeles. Learns of Demand He came to the United States four years ago to sell dry clean ing equipment for Neil & Spen cer, but soon learned of the de-1 mand for special equipment. He went to work on the development and has doubled sales in the past five months. A machine called the "mi- cronic" after the micron, one thousandth part of one millimeter' old by Lewis for cleaning the garments of "clean room" workers. He says that its com bination of solvents, air blasts and fillers is the most effective cleaning means developed f o r clothing worn by "clean room1 workers, far better than other metnocis wnich involve washing with water. "We still sell ordinary dry clean ing equipment, too," Lewis said "These are relatively new prod ucts with us but we feel they can be of great importance in this age of space. Losses to the gov ernment through space failures caused by contamination could be staggering." BUILDING PLANS PLAN BOOKS ORDKR FORM Herald and Nrns Plan Dept.

NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE TIP FOR BUILDING WITH CONCRETE BLOCKS ' (fJ SOLID ''f FOOTING fc--rJ CONCRETE TV NOTES HOLLYWOOD UP1 -Two young men destined lor popularity have emerged in recent days in events of surpassing trivia. Over in Britain, it came to light that bonnie Prince Charles, 14. boucht and downed a cherry brandy in a bar. Over here, another good- time Charlie, one Jerry Van Dyke, bowed in with a regular show on CBS-TV. Both of these young men have good family connections, Jerry be ing the kid brother of Dick Van Dyke, whose weekly CBS-TV se ries last month won Emmys for best comedy program, writing and direction. And the last two nights have seen the brothers Van Dyke inaugurate a one-two punch on CBS that will continue through the summer and accelerate in the fall. On Tuesday, Jerry offered the premiere of a half-hour game se ries called "Picture This," which he w ill host during the summer as a replacement for the vaca tioning Jack Benny. Wednesday night, Dick offered his usual situa tion comedy episode this time a repeat about whether his sneez ing had a psychological basis, and once again it was only his personal style that made bearable some pretty piddling fluff.

It's getting crowded in the cabin for the nation's First Family, just as it has for millions of growing families not quite so well known. There may be 121 rooms in the White House, but the new addition due this year to the John F. Kennedys is already causing problems. Critical factor, as shown in floor plan of the private part of the White House, is placing a nursery in close proximity to nurse Maude Shaw. The First Lady's dressing room and other rooms such as the Treaty Room and Queen's Boom (where five reigning queens have stayed as guests) were ruled out because of this and because of continual traffic in corridors and sitting rooms. So for the first few . months of his life, the newest Kennedy will stay in nurse Shaw's bedroom, which was formerly a 9 x 12 storage closet. Later, the baby will share a bedroom with brother John Jr. Of course, if the family had a long enough lease on the executive mansion, some of the kids could eventually move upstairs when they are older, where there are X. more rooms and 9 baths. Sweden Takes Civil Defense Program Seriously (EDITOR'S NOTE: Although committed to neutrality in war, Sweden maintains one of the programs in the world. This dis patch, the second of two on Sweden's total defense, exam Ines Its plans and facilities for facilities for protecting the civ ilian pouulation from attack.) By FREDERICK H. TREESH STOCKHOLM, Sweden (UPD- In a 1961 evacuation drill, the 80- year-old king of Sweden rode out of Stockholm on the subway in a personal demonstration that civil defense is not to be taken light- Sweden, though unswerving from the policy of military neu trality that has kept it free from war for a century and a half, has one of the most complete and efficient civil defense programs in the world. And the Swedes are working every day to make it better. "We think a terror war from the air cannot force us to sur render," said an officer of the Swedish Supreme Command. His statement is rather revealing of this country's determination and painstaking preparation to defend itself even from hydrogen bombs Civil defense occupies a place in Sweden's total defense planning on a level with the military de fense and strategic stockpiling of munitions and fuel. It is or ganized around two key concepts: evacuation and shelters. Huge rock shelters have been constructed in all of Sweden's pop ulation centers and all public buildings, including apartments, are required by law to contain bunker-type shelter. Yet evacua tion of non-essential civilians to the empty and targetless hinter land of this 1,000-mile long coun try is the major part of the civil defense plan. Detailed plans have been laid to evacuate every com munity of more than 10,000 per sons and some other areas near military targets. A total of 2.8 million persons are covered in the evacuation plans. This is not a matter of tempo rary flight. Rather, it in volves permanent relocation of civilians from target eities to rur al areas from the time a war threat arises until it subsides. Only emergency personnel, like police, firemen and communica tions workers, and persons em ployed - in vital war industries would remain in the cities. And there are adequate shelters to house them. Posted on the wall of every apartment building in Stockholm and other important cities is a pamphlet instructing the resi dents what to do and where to go in case of alert. Sweden believes its evacuation plans are realistic even in this era of super-sonic bombers and intercontinental missiles because it does not expect to be the first nation hit in event of war. The evacuation plans are to go into effect when a serious threat arises, not after the first bomb falls. It is expected that Stockholm, a city of 800,000, can be evacuated to predetermined rural areas as far as 230 miles away within 30 hours. Somewhere between 50, 000 and 100.000 essential persons would stay behind. In the nine largest population centers, vast "rock-firm" shelters have been built to protect per sons not eligible for evacuation. These shelters, which have space enough for more than 100,000 persons, are either tunnelled deep into natural rock (much of Sweden's topography is solid granite) or are constructed from reinforced concrete. The world's largest shelter was blasted out of Katarina hill in south central Stockholm and has room for 20,000 persons. It con tains more than 1,500 feet of tun nel on three levels under 70 feet of solid rock. Another rock she! ter near Stockholm's central rail way station has room for 15,000 persons. The bunker - type "standard shelters in basements of plants, public buildings and apartments in every Swedish community over 5,000 population have a total capacity of 1.5 million persons. These shelters ate required by law and must meet rigid speci fications in general they must be strong enough to withstand a direct hit by a heavy convention al bomb and be able to support the weight of the building if it collapsed. The cost of construe tion is absorbed by the building owner. It comes to about $30 a person if the building houses 100 or more persons. The public rock - firm shelters are financed largely by the com munity in which they are built but each has a productive peacetime use which, in time, will pay for the shelter. "You can't construct a shelter and let it sit there for years wait ing for a war. That is wasting money," said an official of the Royal Civil Defense Commission. The Katarina shelter in Stock holm, for example, is used as an underground parking garage for 600 cars. In addition to evacuation plans and shelters, the civil defense or ganization includes trained per sonnel to provide fire - fighting, police, communications, transpor tation and medical services in event of emergency. When the Swedes voted them selves into civil defense perman ently in 1948, they voluntarily shouldered a huge expense for a relatively small country (popula tion 7.5 million). They also as sumed an obligation to serve in the civil defense forces. Every Swedish male between 16 and 65 is subject to conscription into civil defense work and about 220.0(H) now are assigned to some such duty. The cost of running Sweden's vast civil defense program is budgeted at $14 million for the 1962-1963 fiscal year. The man in the street, for the most part, takes civil defense se riously, "We don't understand Amer ican neglect of civil defense." said one government official. "It looks foolish to us." i 1 1 VERSATILE 100" PICTURE WALL SCREENS SaV 4 Section. ... for That Extra Long Wall! S. $i Q95 yy Q Dromatie, new decorating Ideal Four 43x2 J" paneli, 100" over all).
