Chinook Winds

The chinook is a wind which blows
from west or north over the Rocky
mountains, where it descends as a
dry wind. warm in winter and cool
in summer. 1t is due to a cyclone
passing northward and continues for
a few hours to several days. In
Oregon and Washington the term is
sometimes applied to warm, moist
southwest wind. The wind was SO
called by the white settlers of AS
toria because it came from the di-
rection of the Chinook camp.

Glitter of Gadgets Often Distracts
Builder From Quality Where
It's Needed Most

Are you building a house for the
first time? Then chances are you
are in kind of daze. There are so
many things to decide, so many
things to buy, so many more things
you want and can't buy because
there is just SO much money. Now
there's nothing less glanorous than
the concrete footings and founda-
ton. One doesn't show them off to
ones friends, but if you skimp on
either, you'll be busy for years to
come trying to cover up cracked
walls that all your friends will see.
Don't Skimp On Framework
Likewise the timber skeleton or
frame CT your house is going to be
all covered up, but if you skimp on
it you'll have sagging floors that
squeak at every step.
And how about those great big
holes in the wall, the rough win
dow openings. You can buy win
