This kitchen, I can't help being
impressed with its size ANY,
way, it is finished in white with
red trimmings and linoleum to pep
it up
There is no service porch and a
good riddance, too There ait
too many of those catchalls -. The
washtubs, the hotwater heater, and
the storage tank for the oil heater
are installed in the garage which
is connected with the house =.
There is plenty of room in the gar
age as it is "a feet long =. The trick
front door even locks itself auto
matically...
The bathroom is as compact as
a pullman WaShrOom =. All the
necessities neatly arranged in small
space . .. . The two bedrooms are
light and airy with pale, pastel tint
ed walls and ceilings.
A flagstone walk runs all around
the house, hugging the outside walls
on all four sides -. That is so shoes
will not be soiled while turning the
water on and off the lawn -. A
good, sensible idea if there ever
was one.
Care and thought went into the
Susman house plans 1t is one
of those livable, comfortable homes
all done up in interior stucco in

interpreted the average value in
crease of homes as meaning con-
1899. most OF which were construct
Sixty seven new residences were
constructed III FL Centre during
l'39, most of which were construct
ed in a spring building boom that
for a time threatened to exceed
last years record of 85 new homes.
The building permit total for
1899 was S423,795 as compared to
the 1898 total of $45l, 1868, records
disclosed.
Activity during the past week
amounted to only $500, an average
reaction after the Christmas and
New Years holidays, contractors
said.
Most contractors and supply
houses believed that building activ-
ity would be comparatively light
during January, February and the
early part of March, but predicted
a spring activity period comparable
to the 1888 and '39 spurts.
Builders rushed TO completion
homes under construction at the
present time. Aubrey Moody. one
builder, reported ahead-of-schedule
progress on the Mike Zavala resi-
dence at Brighton and Tenth and
reported start of construction for
a new home for Walter Roth in
Imperial.
Builders Supply reported progress
on the Benny Kellerman home ana
predicted completion the first part
of next week. The Waldo Simpson
house was also reported near COM
pletion.

down from the Purple Hills, and
jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun threw his
night cap of and began his daily
climb in the blue sky, Great Grand
father Frog climbed up on the Big
Rock in the Smiling Pool. Early as
he was, all the little people who
live along the Laughing Brook and
around the Smiling Pool were wait
ing for him. Bobby Coon had found
two traps set by Farmer Brown S
boy and Billy Mink had almost
stepped in a third. No one felt
safe any more, yet no one knew
what to do. So they all waited for
the advice Of Great-Grandfather

trap to trap.

Having no satisfactory opening,
West decided on the unorthodox
lead Of the club queen. East played
the encouraging eight and, after
winning with the king, South led the
diamond 10 and finessed. East re-
turned the jack of spades; South
covered; West won and played his
remaining club.
Declarer f1nessed dummy's club 10,
but East won this trick with the
jack, then cashed the 10 of spades.
From this point on West was
squeezed. East now led the Jack of
hearts, which declarer won with the
queen. He then played club to
dummy and ran off the diamonds,
discarding his remaining spades and
retaining the ace and small heart.
West had to keep the spade ace,
for otherwise dummy's nine. would
be good, and thus could hold only
one heart. The two remaining
hearts then dropped and the con-
tract was made by the natural
squeeze.

day last March, during the course
OF the mission in Europe with
which the President had in

by plane on a day of binding
snow. I had with me Carl Sand

and as I opened the volume my
eyes first rested on these immor-

ural:
"Fondly do we hope-fervently
do We pray-that this mighty
scourge of war may speedily pass
away" and TO do all which may
achieve and cherish a just and
a lasting peace among ourselves,
and with all nations"
AS we arm with all haste and

Nation than those which are con-
