Slow Change Seen
in Homes Design
No Revolutionary
Transition Viewed

The well-established conserva-
tism of the home buying pubic
offers the best assurance that
there will be no revolutionary
changes in the design or con-
struction of new dwellings built
in the early postwar years, Rus
sell c.. Creviston, chairman Of
the postwar committee of the
Producers Council, national or
ganization of manufacturers Of
building materials and equip
rent, stated Saturday.
with few exceptions, the
buyer of a new home is making
the largest single investment CT
his lifetime when he acquires a
new dwelling, and he Is reluct-
ant to tie up his resources in a
house that may not meet with
general public acceptance in the
event that 1t must be resold a
few years later" Creviston said.
The first step in fuel conser-
walton Is a thorough cleaning of
