Director of Juneau's Civilian Defense Unit R. E. Robertson has doing his utmost to keep Juneau minds alert to the vital necessity of being prepared at all times for anything. He hasn't envable job.
 The chances are and we sincerely hope, that the time the 1-2 sounds it will be only for practice. And if Director Robertson is forced to order the sounding of the air raid alarm if Jap planes buzz close to Juneau there good many persons who are going to place Director Robertson in the darned fool category for causing all of this fuss. Chances are that is what will happen. That's why Director Robertson doesn't have an enviable job.
 We'll there was also probably time when the inhabitants of London thought that this business of forming civilian defense groups digging trenches in the parks was a lot of baly tommyrot. Some of them are dead
 Director Robertson happens to believe in being prepared for any eventuality in time of war. What he's mainly concerned with is working out means and ways to lves-in case. But the response has been poor among Juneauites. Many residents who ought to be out wearing an arm band when the 1-2 sounds are contented to sit at home with their guilty feelings while their neghbor skps his second cup of after dinner java to dash to his sa tion
 Many more volunteers urgently needed. Every Juneau resident knows that.
 Something that few Juneautes know however is that during recent weeks alerts and complete black from Juneau-and planes took off in mucky weather at night. The real thing is close to that It is close enough to Juneau to be prepared.

Small Home Cost
Up 1870 oCubic
Foot Since 7Q47

The cubic-foot cost of standard
$4,000 house here has increased IL
per cent during the last II months,
it was reported this week by the
Federal Home Loan Bank Review.
Last month the cubic-foot cost was
28.8 cents, as compared with 257
cents year ago.
Meanwhile, the yearly recapitu-
lation shows the cost of a house
in the $4,000 price range has risen
from $5,989 in June, 1888, to $6,919,
the report states. In the same
period last year the cost was $6,173.
The house used as basis for
the survey was detached six-room
home Of $4,000 cubic feet volume
The exterior is wide-board siding,
with brick and stucco as design
features. Included is an attached
one-car garage. However, only fun
damental structural elements are in
cluded and interior equipment such
as heating plant, shades and light
ing fixtures are excluded from the
survey base.

give you a good idea Of the color.
Transparent pictures of rooms in
full color with clear cellophane wall
areas are used in conjunction with
the colored sheets.
You select a transparent picture
that most nearly approximates the
room you plan to paint. Place 1t
over a color sheet and you will see
the walls painted in that color.
Besides these visual aids to paint
styling. the selector offers such
other helps as the best colors to
select for various interior exposures.
1t gives professional help on house
exteriors. You can see, before
painting, how your house will look
painted in one color, trimmed in
another. And it is full of pointers
as to which colors minimize struc-
tural defects and which take advan-
tage of the good details.
These selectors may be seen at
almost all paint stores or decora-
tors headquarters.
PaperS simulate Graln1ng.
A new line OF structural papers
has appeared which simulate wood
granting so perfectly that some per-
sons have to touch it before they
are positive it is not the real thing.
These papers are available in
three wood finishes. Two are in the
popular ight-wood finishes that do
so much to lift a room out of medi-
ocrity: One an antique white oak,
the other white birch. For those
who like the darker woods there is
an antique red-oak finish.
In addition to the wood finishes
there is natural red-brick finish
with which you could simulate a
fireplace. and grayish flagstone
finish with grass joints. Both of
these lend themselves to interesting
game-room treatments.
1t is no problem to install these
papers, for they can be cut easily
to fit any wall area with knife or
scissors. Wall paper paste or a ce-
ment adhesive can be used to apply
the papers to either fiat or curved
wall surfaces. Once hung, the paper
can be washed with soap and
water. Light finger marks can be
removed with art gum or a wall
paper cleaner.
These papers make especially
good backgrounds for rooms that
must do double duty, such as bed
living rooms. They come in three
sizes: 3 by feet, 3 by IL feet and
3 by "a feet and range in price
from $4.30 for the smallest to about
SIS for the largest.

War Pressure Leads
To Merger Of Two
Builders Groups
National Association
Awaits Ratification
Of Member Chapters

A new organization uniting the
National Home Builders Associa-
ton and the Home Builders Insti-
tute of America to work out ways to
maintain private home building
during the war has just been an
nounced by the two organizations.
Long interested in the private
dwelling field, the groups now will
be known as the National Associa-
ton of Home Builders as soon as a
ratification by members is received.
Executive officers hope the consoli-
dation will provide more effective
way of meeting wartime conditions.
Officers of the new organization
are expected to be Hugh Potter,
Houston, Tex, president; Harry j.
Durbin, Detroit, vice president; Car
roll Shelton, Philadelphia, secre-
tary, and George Ellis, Chicago,
treasurer.
Four Point Program Offered.
A four-point program has been
proposed for incorporation in the
new bylaws:
Il. To aid the Government in
providing needed housing through
private enterprise at low cost.
%. To collaborate with manufac-
turers for the production of new and
less costly building materials.
"3. To aid in standardiza ton of
building codes and to encourage the
elimination of uneconomic and
cumbersome governmental proce-
dures affecting home construction
to minimize cost and delay.
q To cooperate with other trade
associations interested in home
building to secure united action in
matters of national policy"

Proper ventilation for shielded
and lighted room in blackout may
be difficult, as motion of the air
might disturb the shades or cur
tains and allow light to escape. A
ventilating blackout blind just in
troduced offers happy solution to
the problem.
The blind, which comes in two
parts. is designed to fit any stand
ard double hung window up to AZ
inches wide.
One half of the unit is the ven-
tilator, which fits in the lower sash
of the window. Inverted V-shaped
lowers of black cardboard are set
into a wooden frame at an angle
such that they permit the free pas
sage Of air, but not of light. The
blind resembles a Venetian blind,
but it cannot be raised and lowered.
This section of the unit comes fab
ricated so that it is adjusted simply
by expanding sidepieces, If neces-
sary.
If an afraid warning comes, this
ventilator is quickly placed in the
lower sash and held by cuphooks.
The upper sash of the window is
blacked out with opaque fabric
also furnished with the kit. This
should be permanently tackled to
either roller or the window frame
itself, so it can be lowered hastily.
When lowered, it should cover the
ventilator slightly to guarantee
perfect blackout conditions.
These units cost from SO to 81
and although they do not provide
100 per cent ventilation, they offer
a good means of eliminating the
stale air in a room.
