Gorrell probably would tell you that "luck and the breaks" &C., count for the frequency with which his by-line appears over such dra- amtic eyewitness stories from the war fronts. But his colleagues who know Hank and who know the difficulties of wartime reporting will tell you another story. Gorrell, they say, has a rare combination of journalistic know-how and guts.
 They recall how Gorrell came out of Missouri dozen years ago with head full of newspaper experi- ence gained on Midwestern papers, the love of excitement in his heart and an ambition to be a foreign correspondent.
 Gorrell worked hard to achieve his goal and he has established a reputation, since winning his first foreign assignment, for disregard ing the dangers involved in order to get into the thick of the action.
 Has StOrybOOk Career
 And Gorrell has seen plenty of action. During the past eight years he has covered news on four con- tinents. He has covered four wars and a South American revolution. He was once expelled from Italy, was imprisoned by Spanish Loyal ists as suspected spy and later was captured under machrine- gun fire by General FTanco's troops who threatened him with execu- tion by a Moorish firing squad. He followed British forces into Greece,

Heating
Continued From Page BID

at the top sides for distribution Of
heat to other rooms.
Inside the unit Is just as cleverly
arranged. An electrically welded
steel combustion chamber is at the
bottom, where simple oil burner
percolates smoothly. This burner is
equipped with fuel control valve
to be set manually for the amount
of heat required by your househo'S
and Is, of course, furnished with
complete safety protection. Back OF
the ample combustion chamber is a
large spring-mounted circulating
fan which forces air out Of the
front grille at floor level and at a
pleasantly moderate temperature.
Not content with using this heat
for warming only the air the f1ue
gases are passed upward through
a large capacity domestic hot-water
heater. Made of heavy-gauge cop
per-bearing steel which has been
treated with a special rust pre-
ventive, this hot-water heater has
a capacity of 20 gallons, thus pro-
viding ample hot water with quick
recovery. Requiring only 5-inch
flue connection and the necessary
oil and water supply lines, the unit
is quickly and inexpensively in
stalled.
Here is another clever idea to
save lot of space in small house.
You possibly never noticed 1t, but
the ordinary swinging door. the kind
used in the home, that is, consumes
tremendous amount of space. Not
only do you lose the space in front,
but that in back as well. In fact,
people who know about such things
have estimated that fully 100 square
feet of space is made unusable in
an average-sized home just because
it's doors swing instead OF slide. So
why not install sliding doors?
You can get a complete sliding
door unit nowadays ready for i'm
mediate installation. The various
parts are made Of Douglas fir by
mass production methods, which
help to keep cost down. The unit is
designed for use with standard q
by-4 partitions, and stock-width
/ q inch doors. Unlike the old
fashioned doors which formerly sep
arated the living and dining rooms,
and stuck doing it, these new doors
are designed to work with clever
new roller track arrangement which
would seem to be pretty close to
foolproof.
This new track idea consists Of
two metal rollers connected to the
door which roll in cylindrical
channel grooved into the fir header.
It is said that these rollers run so
smoothly that even after 100000
openings and closings of the door
there is no perceptible wear on
either the track or the rollers. The
rollers are attached to the door by
a simple lug which fits snugly into
a grooved plate on the top Of the
door,
There are a number of types Of
door pulls which can be used on
this new piece of building equip
ment. They range from a 'front.'
edge pull, which may be locked by
means of a simple built-in T key,
to simple edge pull. with jamb
lock and a metal side-pull fixture.
