A nationwide campaign is being
planned for April.
Mrs. Cleary told many facts
about cancer, some little known.
Two per cent OF deaths OF children
is from cancer, and one in every
eight in people Of all ages. Many
kinds OF tumors lead TO cancer in
children. There are 100000 cancer
patients in this country now. 1t is
the number one killer OF women
between 50 and So. Women over 50
should have an examination every
six months, and men over 40, once
a year, she said. The money raised
by the National Society is for re
search, education, and service TO
patients. including clinics, dress
ings and checkups. There are only
400 clinics in the United States
and Canada, and yet there are Al
deaths in a week in Michigan alone.
DR.. Paul de Kruit says that every
cancer passes through the stage
when it is durable. Mrs. Cleary
stressed the great importance of
public knowledge of this. in order
10 improve diagnosis and treat
ment.

Homes Of Future Described
For Ladies Literary Club

Professor Dalter j. Cores OF the
University OF Michigan School OF
Architecture discussed the homes
OF the future at the Wednesday
meeting OF the Ladies Literary
Club at which new officers were
elected. He called it the house OF
l940X" since no one knows when
the war will be over, and the skills
and materials developed over the
last several years will be available
for home building. Prof. Cores be-
lieves that the homes OF the future
will be built from an entirely dit
ferent viewpoint from the inside
cut. not from the outside in. This
means that instead OF starting with
a certain type OF fashionable ar.
chitecure, and arranging the rooms
the best you can inside, that the
composition OF the family. their
ages, tastes. and activities will be
studied. and the house planned TO
hest accommodate these. Thus
the outside plan will not be the
primary consideration. The social
trends OF the times will be reflect
ed in home building. that is. there
will be fewer mansions and more
livable homes for lower and middle
classes. This will make for less un.
rest and more stability and unity
in the national life. he pointed out,
Since material and labor costs Will
continue to be high. homes must
he smaller, with the space utilized
TO the greatest extent. There will
be more Standardization, since hand
work will be too expensive. Skilled
tradesmen are now employed in
factories and many will never go
hack 10 their former work. There
fore, many parts, if not whole
houses. will be prefabricated by
factory methods. Another trend now
operating is toward regimentation
by government, so people will try
10 express their own individuality
ny using these units as they wish
for their own purposes.
Prof. Cores talk was illustrated
by slides. The first was a chart
showing houses of different periods,

l920s. English types a little later,
and the so-called modern houses
since then. Another picture showed
the disadvantages OF trying to lit
the rooms into a definite type OF
architecture. For example, kitchens
need more light for the work space
and more storage space, the living
rooms need TO be better lighted and
larger, and not so placed as to be
merely q runway to other parts OF
the house. More storage for gen
tral use 10 needed, these should be

speaker believes that future plan
ming will be functional keeping in
mind at all times the needs and
tastes Of the family. For example,
a house with only one bathroom
will have to be divided into two or
even three parts so that more than
one member OF the family can usa

own validity but must be refined

discussing materials. Prof. Cores
stated that glass blocks can be
used TO let in light and yet be com

niture had not so har been OF very
good quality. but would no doubt
be improved in the future. He illus
trated the sectional furniture now
being made, in which chests OF
drawers, desks, and dayenports
could be assembled and arranged to
suit the convenience of the user
and the arrangement OF the room.
He discouraged the use of design in
rugs, drapes and wall-coyerings to
any extent, advising one TO rely or
color and texture contrasts to make
decorative effects. However, a we'll
chosen bit OF bric-a-brac, or an ap-
propriate painting or mural. or
plants. or flowers are often very
delightful Much OF the future fur
niture will be built.in as it is less
expensive and utilizes available
space more effectively.
Homes should be easy TO keep
clean since the trend is away from
domestic help. and they should be
simple and restful, to enable people
which Is too complex already. He
believed that it is not absolutely
necessary to have all modern fur
niture in a modern house, but that
an antique chair or oriental rug
may add charm and comfort TO
room. He stated that the home OF
the future may not have as many
gadgets as have been illustrated in
magazines, and that people might
not like them IL they did as it
would be dull with so little 10 do.
Also many OF them might get out OF
order, thus forcing the householder
TO do his own work anyway, The
whole talk was much enjoyed by
the audience. Prof. Cores was in
troduced by Mrs. c. NJ. Elliott,
chairman OF the day, who was as
sisted by Mesdames Clarence Loe'
sell, Michael Barenow, Arthur
