Study Kitchen Lighting

Lighting in a kitchen should be
carefully studied before fixtures
are installed, and of course the
design of a kitchen in itself de-
termines the amount of light to
be desired.
In this model all-electric kitchen
an extremely efficient lighting
system has been provided which
includes a light above the sink
and also on the underside of wall
cabinets.
The color scheme of the kitchen
is red. white and blue. The floor
lis blue with red stars as a border.
and the red and blue have been
repeated with the white walls,
cabinets, range and refrigerator.
Imported print in blue and the
red linoleum counter top completes
the color scheme.

Asphalt Single
Sales Increase

: Almost nine million squares of
asphalt strip shingles were pro-
duced for the roofs Of America in
1910. according 10 figures released
SATURDAY by J. 5. Bryant, man
aging director Of the Asphalt
Roofing Industry Bureau This is
an increase over 1899, Of 3l3,032
squares. According to Bryant. the
asphalt roofing industry supplies
the nation with the most widely
used of all roofing materials.
Also. according 10 Bryant. there
are three main reasons for the
constantly rising number Of homes
and buildings which are utilizing
asphalt strip shingles for roofing:
First. asphalt shingles are fire.
resistant. Second. they may be had
in various shapes and in a wide
range of cOlors. permitting the
home owner, architect and land
scape artist 10 merge the COM

the house into any decorative plan.
Third. and in many cases SUI
premely important TO the home
owner, asphalt strip shingles are
economical to purchase and apply.

Insulation
Is High

The demand for insulation ir
homes continued at an accelerated
pace in 1910, with at least one
popular type Of insulating ma
terial reaching its highest sales
volume in history, according to
B. J. Westover, secretary of the
Insulation Board Institute.
More structural insulating
board was sold during the first
ten months of 1910 than in any
previous full year, he disclosed.
Footage figures for the period
were nearly 20 per cent higher
than for the corresponding months
in 1899. the previous peak year.
THE public for many years
has realized that heat insula-
ton Effects big savings in fuel
costs, but 1t Is just beginning to
fully appreciate the increased
comfort 1t brings to a home in
both summer and Winter" West
over said.
This realization, and the
fact that rigid insulation adds
little to building costs, has been
important in skyrOcketing the
use of insulating board"
Manufactured of wood, cane or
other fibers, insulating board is
used as sheathing, plaster base,
roof insulation and for interior
finishes.
1t was introduced more than a
quarter of century ago and was
the first insulating material to be
used on a wide commercial basis
Builders have found it economi-
cal because in most cases it costs
little if any more than the struc-
tural material it replaces.

Storage Space Needed
In Modern GARAGE

Storage place for screens and
the like should be provided in the
garage of the present day home.
There are many ways of racking
them. The best seems to be the
one that keeps them off the floor.
Certainly water shouldn't be per-
to touch them when the
hose is turned on the garage floor.
Floors of garages should not have
depressions where water can stand.
Drainage should be considered.

the small home, and wider use of
good, sound construction materials
in the BODYBUILDING industry have
been encouraged by the wide
spread use OF the FILA home
financing system, officials OF that
agency recently declared.
In addition to protective devices
in the FILA plan which give added
safety to the whole home financing
transaction, there are advantages
which are comparatively new in
the small-home building field.
The poor design and frequently
inferior construction that formerly
characterized many low-cost small
homes is passing rapidly. it was
said.
Enforcement by the Federal
Housing Administration of mini
mum construction requirements,
neighborhood standards and sound
site planning serve to stimulate
the building OF better homes,
while the wider use OF archi-
tectural services in the design of
the homes themselves is directly
traceable to FILA policy.
In h connection II was
pointed out that this policy pro-
tectS the mortgage-insurance sys-
tenn and. consequently. the bor-
rowers and lenders who partici-
pate in it.
Furthermore, the FILA is help

priced homes.

.1941 Ideal Home
Kitchen Planned
Inconvenience
u till ty, Appearance
Given Consideration
by J. L. Hudson Co.

The model kitchen OF the 1911
Ideal Home was carefully planned
with every consideration given to
appearance as well as utility by
the J. L. Hudson kitchen planning
department.
The location of the kitchen it.
self, in relation to other rooms,
was so arranged in order to have
one continuous section of the stor-
age cabinets and work surface
from the entrance into the dining
room, around three walls to the
door leading on the outside of the
building.
The arrangement of equipment
in proper sequence was carefully
reviewed. Planning. food storage,
preparation, cooking, serving and
cleaning centers had to be consid-
cred. In this years ideal home
kitchen, an attractive maple snack
counter answers the purpose of a
planning desk as well as an ideal
ornamental feature. Food storage
was provided by having the refrig-
orator conveniently located near
the back entrance.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-02-16
Cooking Center Handy

The preparation center was con-
sidered by having a continuous top
of stainless steel and linoleum
with provisions made for prepar-
ing pastry. The cooking center was
given an added convenience by
having space provided on each side
of the range ito put things or"
one side of the stainless steel for
hot pots and pans. the other of
linoleum.
Again as a serving center, the
small snack counter will lend its
utility value by serving as a me-
dunn on which to place platters
before taking TO dining room.
The cleaning center naturally
takes us to the sink section.

PLAN DRAWN FOR
 AUX BAY WATER
 DAM AND SYSTEM
Cost Estimated at S4,590 with CCC Doing Work
 on Wafer Project

A Directors meeting of the Aux Bay Water Users Association was held last Friday night. The Forest Service presented to the Association the plans and estimates of the pro- posed project which will consist of a small concrete diversion dam in Waldleigh Creek at an elevation of POS feet and water main approXi- mately 14000 feet long which would serve all residences adjacent to the highway from the Trambitas Home site at Mile 11.5 to the Arthur Lundberg residence at Mile 13.3, and from the Mason Homesite on the Loop Road to the junction of the highway triangle. There are ap- proximately 46 residences within the section which the system can serve.
 The material costs are estimated at $459O and the eco Administra- tion has signified it's intention to do the work providing CCC enrollees are available next fall and the As sociation deposits the material costs
 The Forest Service stated that the sysem can also be extended as far as Mile 13.6 on the Loop Road and to Mile Il on the highway with an additional 5000 material cost, thus making the system accessible to ap- proximately Is more homes.
 The Directors of the Association, with the aid of the Forest Service, plan to canvass all property owners that may be benefited by the sys- tenn for the purpose of determining how many will be willing to con- tribute their share of the material costs which will probably range from Sl00 to $125 per residence out let on the system; the individual amount depending. of course, upon the total number who subscribe.
