WALNUT GOES WELL
WITH MAHOGANY

In another room by q decorator,
handsome Georgian walnut pieces
share the spotlight with later
and lighter-English 18th century
furniture. A wing chair, an octa-
gonal table, candle stand and coffee
table are in walnut, while secretary
commode, mirror and upholstered
chair are in mahogany.
In other words, if you need a
new coffee table for room fur
nished in English 18th century ma
hogany, you may consider the Geor-
gian walnut, the French Provincial,
even the modern coffee tables dis
played in sales, as well as the 18th
century mahogany ones.
In one of the newest exhibition
rooms, there's prodigal use of strip
ped pine with only a few pieces
of mahogany. Just the reverse Of
the usual procedure. The break
front, two important consoles, n
handsome library desk and two
lamp tables at either end of the
sofa are in stripped pine. The cof-
fee table is painted a lovely tone
of cafe au lait that harmonizes
perfectly. Two lounging chairs have
mahogany frames and legs, and
besides one is a quaint 18th CEN

THE MOST WORTHWHILE
THING IN LIFE IS TO
"0WN YOUR OWN H0ME"
Building Activity
Stacks off Here

Ell Centros building pace con-
tinued to rock along ahead of last
year as the activity total reached
S271 ,676, despite the fact permits
totalling only $545 constituted new
construction during the past week.
Central Union high school took
out a permit for $500 early in the
week for new construction on per-
manent bleacherS at the high
school football field.
Under a previous permit the high
school constructed permanent bleach
ers to seat 1000 persons at cost
of $500. Labor for such projects
is provided by NYA and accounts
for the low cost of construction.
The new section is a step in q
plan by d. w. Ketchen, vice prin-
cipal, to run permanent bleachers
on both sides of the field from one
goal post to the other. Ketchen an
ticipated the entire job would be
finished within two years.
The bleachers, constructed en-
tirely of wood, with firm concrete
foundation, eliminate any danger of
bleacher collapSeS and provides
more comfortable seating for I'M
perial Valleys football fans.
Only other permit issued during
the week was $45 permit to Miller
Kinds, 531 Commercial, for quake
repairs. The single repair permit
contraSted last weeks activity when
II repair permits were issued, in
volving an expenditure of more than
$4,000.
