COMMUNITY HOMES THE IDEAL; NEW
TYPE ADVOCATED

t1rely separate, with walls or foot
to two feet thickness between each of
the three homes, the construction cost
of each home is much less. Wiring
is cheaper, less materials are used,
and by purchasing what materials are
used in a larger quantity and with
care, better quality can be obtained at
the same cost.
The entrances to the three houses
are as rule all from the front. One
of the homes may be arranged length
wise along the lots, a second breadth
wise and a third lenghwise, or vice
versa Variety is easily obtained
There is not the uniformity that may
ever creep into the architecture of in
diVidual homes. Materials have been
used in the construction of many
of these homes in the east, which will
not require attention for years to
come, the necessity of painting hav-
ing been eliminated, and washing of a
glazed exterior made possible.
Duplex Flats
Many small families prefer the
double home. Attractive designs are,
plenty but the American public as
whole has expressed its disapproval
of this type of home The duplex
fiat arranges two homes in one; the
first on the lower floor, the second in
the story above. Stairs set to one
side usually permit an entrance to
the home in the second story without
passing through even a hallway con-
nected with the home on the lower
floor.
For new families the bungalow is
popular. its drawback, however, is a
heavy cost of construction consider
ing the amount of space obtained.
Hundreds of little conveniences,
however, have made living in the
bungalow comfort. The compact
ness of everything, the ideal arrange
ment of room, closets, the kitchen,
pantry, dining room, all tend to re-
duce the amount of work before the
housewife each day. Her tasks are
lightened because she has less steps
to take to perform her daily work
than she would in the average home
of larger design. By wall arrange
ments providing for a disappearing
bed, a sewing room may be had, or
In the parlOr dining room may be
created with little effort
The selection of a home design is a
task. Wausau people who desire mod
ern, well equipped houses at reason
able cost, and homes which will be
built of better materials assured for
permanency, should not hesitate to in
vestigate the Community Home Per-
sons who have visited the communi-
ties in the east where hundreds have
been erected, declare them to be
most satisfactory, and to the outsider,
beautiful.

BE STARTED ON
THURSDAY

A banquet Thursday evening will
start the annual membership campaign
of the Wausau Y. NJ. c. A, which will
continue through the remainder OF
September, when it is hoped the insti-
tuition will be able to boast a member
ship of 1000. The goal is big one,

confidently predicted.
More men than have actively parti-
cipated in campaign of this nature in

ing to obtain new Y members and to

sert, as well as business men who are
in need of the opportunity for exer-
else, the Y gymnasium classes afford.

Adolph Holub. Fifteen teams will be
organized, to be composed of ten work
ers each. Work will be carried on

the desire of the workers to reach
their goal early if possible. The team
chairmen are as follows: H. c. Berger,

SCHOOL BOARDS TO HOLD
ANNUAL CONVENTION
OCTOBER 3 AND 4

The school boards and teachers OF
Marathon county will hold their an
nual convention on October 3rd and
4th, Friday and Saturday. On Friday
the convention is scheduled for Athens
where it is expected the majority from
the western part of the county will
attend. On the following day the
meeting will be conducted in Wausau
at the high school auditorium. 1t is
purely a matter of convenience as to
which of these two conventions mem
bers of school boards throughout the
county and rural school teachers at
tend. The program will begin at 9:3O
at each place.
At both places w. E. Larson, Frank
G. Swoboda, county farm agent, and
Miss Mary A. Brady, county home
demonstrator, will speak. In addition
to the above mentioned, Louis Grimm
will speak at Athens, and Supt. S. B.
Tobey of the Wausau public schools,
in this city.
Letter
Supt. j. E. Giessel has issued let
ter which has been forwarded to
school boards and teachers. 1t reads
in part as follows:
Chapter Ais, Laws of 1919 provides
that school board members attending
the school board convention shall be
allowed four dollars for each days
attendance at the convention and
mileage at the rate of three cents per
mile each way, going and returning to
and from said meeting, said sum to
be paid from any money in the school
district treasury not otherwise appro-
priated. Prior to this the per diem
allowance was only two dollars per
day.
"The attention of School Boards
and teachers is called to the fact that
the board has the right to allow the
teachers to attend the School Board
convention and count the day as a day
taught. School boards adjacent to
Athens are urged to close their schools
on Friday, October 3, and bring their
teachers along to the convention.
When 1 say bring their teachers
along" l use that expression advisably
Since school board members get mile
age while the teachers do not it will
facilitate matters if the teachers are
offered an opportunity to get to town
and back without having to incur the
expense of livery.
school Boards adjacent to Wausau
should likewise make provision to
take their teachers to the convention
with them. Most of the teachers will
be glad to go if they can go as the
guests of the School Boards. Such
an arrangement will insure the pres
ence of large number of teachers at
the convention, where they will have
opportunity to learn the School
Boards problems from the standpoint
of the School Board
Every community has some people
in it who are not on the School Board
but who are intensely interested in
education. Won't you kindly invite
them to come to the convention :?
There are also communities that have
people in them who make things un-
comfortable for the School Board on
the ground that the School Board is
spending too much money on the
school. Make it point to invite these
people to the School Board Conven-
tiCn. If you can induce them to at
tend you will have done them and
yourself good turn. Let everybody
boost for a large attendance. A large
attendance is an inspiration"

CONSTRUCTION COST LESS
AND HOMES SAID TO
BE BETTER

Hundreds of homes are needed in
Wausau; building must be resumed il
this city is to make the forward stride
its citizens are expecting, it was en-
phaticaIly stated at a recent luncheon
of the Chamber of Commerce. Build
ing initiative is not being taken by in
dividuals because they believe costs to
be excessive. Yet those who find it
urgently necessary to obtain homes
now are glad to pay premium, above
the cost of constructing a new home,
for a house now standing.
A Community Need
In a number of cities throughout the
country efforts are now being made to
induce the construction of residences
Bungalows of new designs, small but
adequate for new families, are popular.
Duplex flats in the recent past created
much enthusiasm and renters were es-
pecially satisfied. To the home seeker,
however, the latter type of house did
not satisfy his longing. Apartment
houses have proved desirable where
they have been necessary because of
crowded conditions. "Wausau needs
several good apartment houses" has
been frequently heard on the street.
The lack of apartment houses, how
eyer, need not be regarded as a detri-
ment to the city. 1t is indicative of
the fact that local people have sought
homes of their own in preference to
renting.
What will solve the problem? The
United States Shipping Board recently
spent hundreds of thousands of dol
lars investigating homes. 1t had mil
lions of dollars to invest in new homes
for the multitude of workers who
fiOcked to aid Uncle Sam. After thor
ough study of the most approved
architected plans, it came to the con-
clusion that the Community Home
was the most desirable Today in the
east entire villages built according to
the plans which were then developed
have sprung up. The houses are
permanent, beautiful, contain more
modern features than others would
permit and were constructed at costs
much lower than the individual houses
generally built.
Three LOtS-ThTee Houses
A house on a single lot uses up
a tremendous amount of space 1t
leaves little space for a garden and
an attractive lawn, which every homo
owner desires Combine three lots
and erect three houses in one and
plenty of space for a large garden is
afforded in addition to the sought for
lawn Built under one roof but en-
