Home Plans Include Workshop

A workshop where man 0. the house can do the maintenance and decorative jobs which are con- tinually arising is the need of every home. Given the proper working space and good set of tools, the average man can achieve a degree of proficiency which will enable him to do many of the things which are essential to a Well-kept piece of property.
 A work bench and a few of the fundamental tools are all that are necessary for 8 start. The work shop can be located in the base ment, garage, attic or utility room. A space of 4 by feet may be enough, but more room will be needed as tools and equipment are added.
 Good lighting is important for high caliber craftsmanship. In new construction, consideration should be given to the number and place ment of the workshop windows Electricity is needed for power tools. All installations should be made in accordance with local elec- trical codes
 Unfinished attics and baSements are ideal locations for workshops. Walls and ceilings can be finished by applying large sheets of asbes- tos cement board to a wood frame work. The asbestos board is resist ant to moistue, and will never rot

Build Right To Insure Good Home

The selection of good materials is one of the best guarantees of last ing satisfaction In building a home, construction authorities point out. A house built of flimsy materials will soon need repairs. One that is soundly put together should be free of maintenance expenses, exclusive Of decorating, for it's first ten years.
 The best way to be assured of good materials and good workman ship is to choose a reliable builder, one who has an established reputa- tion to maintain. There are a num- Der Of new and modern building materials on the market. Your lum- Der dealer can explain their advan- tages.
 To keep maintenance costs at a minimum, it is particularly import ant to use good materials on the roof. Permanent, long-lasting ma terials will repay their cost in re- duced upkeep. Among the most economical are asbestos cement shingles, which are fireproof and ] practically everlasting.

Lumber output in April increased 122 percent over March, the Civil ian Production Administration re- ported today-but the production level still is insufficient to meet es- timated 1947 needs for housing and other buildings.
 The April output was 2,989, 932, ,00o board feet, CPA said, adding:
 If production can be maintained throughout the balance of 1946 at the April level, the total production this year will be approximately 32,- 900, 900 900 feet.

Safety First Factors Prime Home Building Need
Be Cautious In Preparing Any Home

When you build or remodel a home, keep the factor of safety iu mind. That's the warning of safety experts, who point out that acci- dents in homes annually take a toll of 5000 killed and four million hurt, crippled or disabled.
 Flaming for safety, they point out, should begin with the loca tion of the house. Adequate surface drainage should be provided to pre- vent the accumulation of snow and ice. Clothes lines should be located above head height. The play area for the children should be within view of the kitchen window. Drive ways should be clear of vision obscllring hazards such as hedges and trellises.
 Space permitting, a turn-around driveway is desirable so that it will not be necessary to back out the car. Walks should be of non-skid composition and should be laid out along an unbroken slope. Don't have steps unless guarded by hand-radls.
 Some Safety Tips
 Here are some safety tips re- garddng construction:
 Examine existing buildings for routed tir1bers, weak staircases, loose plaster, sagging floors and the like before beginning remodeing.
 Build stairways with straight runs and landings instead of winders and angle treads.
 Provide a6aeauate storage space. Crowded closets are a fire hazard Storage space for frequently used articles should be no higher than a person of average height stand ing on the floor Provide special storage spaces for poisons or com-

Modernizing Old Homes Demands Much PIonninq

The best time to modernize a home through structural changes is when the exterior of the house is in need Of renewing, according to architectural experts. In that way, alterations in design can be combined with necessary mainte- nance, and costs thereby kept to a minimum.
 Structural alterations, it is rec commended, should be planned with two thoughts uppermost in the mind of the home owner. First, he should consider what added con- forts they will bring to the family. Second, he should give attention to the improvement they will make in the appearance of the house.
 If home is in need of new roof that is 8 good time to add porch or breeZeway or build in dormers. When the work is com- pleted the new roof will cover the new work as well as the old. Thus there will be no contrast between the old work and the new.
 In selecting new roof for your home it is important to obtain shingles which in color and style will blend harmoniously with the coloring of the house. They also should be waterproof, fireproof and low in cost per year of service Shingles made of asbestos fibers and cement have become increas- ingly popular in recent years be- cause they answer all of these requirements.
 Taking off gingerbread" trim, installing picture window" add ing shutters and building on a gar age or an enclosed porch are a few of the things which can be done to give home a new per- sonality. With good plan and the right materials, basically sound house can be made as mod ern as any on the street.
 New sidings will go long way toward giving the home modern spic-and-span appearance. Among the established materials for that purpose are asbestos cement sid- ings. They provide an attractive, economical solution to the problem of restoring old, dingy buildings to new life and beauty They are fireproof, weathertight and will never require paint for preserva- tion. When put on over old sidings, they stop wind infiltration and save fuel

Maine Homes May Answer Veterans Housing Need

Plans for four room house cost ing s3,l0O without equipment are being hailed by Maine officials of the Veterans Administration and private bankers as a suitable answer to the veterans housing shortage.
 According to H. B. Hayden, VA loan guarantee officer in that state, the plan proposed by Philip D. Wight, Norway, Me, builder, offers a solution for alleviating the acute shortage.
 The Wight house is a ne-story structure, 28 by A feet, containing kitchen, livingroom, two bedrooms and utility closet. If erected without basement the house could be set on cement posts, and insulated on the floor, walls and ceiling. Gypsum board would be used on the exter- for with metal siding from ground to sill resembling bricks when
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-08

painted.
 The basic $3,10O cost estimate would be increased by $465 if the owner desired a partial cellar and $6l8 for full basement. A one pipe hot air furnace would add $193 and heating system piped to all rooms would increase the outlay by S327, according to Builder Wight's esti- mates. The addition of bathroom, papering and paint would add about $500 more.
 As outlined by MT Hayden, a veteran building house on this plan would keep his investment on reasonable level and use only 3712 per cent of his available gov- ernlnent guaranteed credit, leaving S2,500 which he may draw on at any time in the next 10 years to enlarge or improve his home.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-08

ttons follow the standards of safety agencies in that field.
 Bathtlbs should be of the flat bottom" type. Bathroom electrical fixtures, handles of wall switches and cover plates for the switches should be of insulating material.
 Fire Safety Important
 Follow approved standards for fire safety in construction. Use fire proof building materials, such as as- bestos cement shingles and asbestos board, where they can be applied.
 Make sure adequate lighting is provided for stairways Water pipes, air ducts and other 'bumping haz- ards" should be eliminated or paint ed in bright colors. Identify the water slaut-off valve with a clearly marked tag.

Dexter City Tops Caldwell 27-25
In Nip-And-T Tuck Basketball Game

The Redskins opened the current
basketball season Tuesday night by
dropping a nip and tuck battle to the
Orange and Black of Dexter City

crowd of approximately 210 paid ad-

Dexter opened the scoring in the
first quarter, but the Redskins man.

end of the period. They increased
this lead to 1873 at the half and at
one time in the third quarter en-
joyed a lead of 1912, but Dexter
put on a scoring splurge to go out in
front 20-19 at the end of the third
stanza.
The last quarter was a see-saw
affair with both sides playing loose
ball and muffing numerous scoring
chances. The Redskins pulled into a
24-24 tie when Craft dropped in a
free throw, and went ahead on Sef-

minute to play, Caldwell began

Ferguson fouled Adds, a sub for
Don Davis, and Adds made the shot
to tie up the game 25-25. In the mad
rush that followed with each side

Mitchell was fouled, and in connect
ing for his first free throw of the
evening, he sent Dexter ahead 26-25.
Mitchell followed this with another
free throw with one second to play,
and the Orange and Black emerged
triumphant 27-25.
Don Davis displayed the only
scoring punch of the game, register
