 A motion was made and unani- mouSly carried that the directors be instructed to look into the pos sibility of holding 8 Spring fair, and if found feasible to proceed with same.

Florida Girl Wins Five-Year Struggle

Her stricken body lay in an iron lung. Her hands and feet were useless. She was almost complete ly paralyzed by poliomyelitis, but l4-year-old Jean Parker of St. Petersburg, Florida, firmly deter mined that she would get well.
 It was September of l940. Week after week Jean lay prostrate, grit ting her teeth and telling herself over and over that she would get out-that she would walk again.
 After five weeks, Jean passed the first milestone. She was able to leave the iron lung. The local Rotary Club sent her to the Amer ican Legion Hospital. For seven long months physiotherapists skill fully massaged her.

Became Stenographer

Along with physical training at the Institute, Jean prepared for a secretarial job that had been promised to her. In July, she went back to her home in Florida, where streets in winter are clear of ice and snow, and walking is easier.
 The job that was Jeans goal is hers. In the lobby of the Suwan- nee Hotel, in St. Petersburg, there is a neatly-lettered sign: Public Stenographer.
 Equipped with note book and typewriter, Miss Jean Parker works all day at a big desk. She's the girl who didn't give up.

To Warm Springs

To Warm Springs
 Then Jean was taken to Warm Springs Foundation where many years ago a man named Franklin D. Roosevelt had fought for strength. Seventy-five days later, she returned home, wearing a supporting corset and a brace on each leg.
 She made up for lost school time by studying for two years at home with a tutor, but she went to high school in wheelchair her senior year. She was graduated with 90 per cent average for her four years and was made a member of the National Honor So- ciety.
 Jean was determined to get out of that wheelchair and find job as her classmates were doing. Somewhere she heard of the InSti- tute for the Crippled and Disabled in New York and the remarkable things accomplished there.
 In September, 1914, Jean went to New York and enrolled at the Institute. With patience and per sistence, she learned to balance her body and use crutches. By the spring of 1945, Jean - then 19 years old-no longer needed her wheelchair.

will prevail instead OF chaos. It
will simply be the difference be-
tween convenience and inconveni-
ence for the whole family.
On the subject of built-ins, it
might well be said that they add
more to real modern living than
anything else in the house as far as
convenience goes. The small niche
for the telephone instrument, the
linen closet right in the bathroom
instead of out in the hall, the kit
chen equipment that disappears
into the wall when not in use, the
built-in dressing tables, wardrobes
and clothes chests in the bedroom,
and the well-planned space saving
built-in furniture in living rooms
are only few of the built-in con-
veniences available. Most of them
are manufactured, assembled and
ready to be set in place.
1t is a modern idea as well as a
practical one to plan your home as
far as room arrangement and ldca-
ton go and then spot your built
ins where they will be most effec-
tive and offer the greatest conven-
ience. The home owner, particularly
Of the small house where space is
at premium, should consider built
in furniture seriously as a substi-
tute for portable pieces. They make
room easy to keep in order, easy
to clean and comfortable to live
in. Things are bound to be in their
places when they are built in.

First Aid o..
|ForHouses

question: My stairways are always
cvcold and drafty, and I do not know
where the draft comes from. Can
YOU advise me?
Answer: Cold air sinks to the
lowest level it can find, and a STAIR
way, gives it an easy pathway. Cold
air is leaking into your house some
where, probably around the windows
and doorwayS, or at the top of the
house walls under the roof. If you
have no storm sash or weatherstrip-
ping, you would save fuel and make
your house warmer by putting them
on. Insulation in the. roof would
keep the house warmer in winter
and cooler in summer.
Noisy Radiators.
Question: One or two of nv
radiators make a sort of clanking
noise when they become heated.
1t is very disturbing How can I
stop the noise?
Answer: The noise may be caused
by sagging of the branch pipe from
the riser pipe to the radiator. Try
raising the radiator by placing
quarter thick blocks of wood
under each radiator leg. Two OF
three layers of these blocks may be
needed to raise the pitch of the
branch pipe. Radiators should
stand perfectly level. There is also
the possibility that your piping con-
nections are wrong. A competent
heating man should be called in
to check the entire system.
Screws in Wallboard.
Question: I have tried to put UP
towel racks in my bathroom, but
the screws do not stay firmly in
the wallboard walls, so that the
, towel racks are loose. How can ]
fasten the screws in better?
Answer: At a hardware store or
dime store you can get "toggle bolts, u

By W, Wordsworth Wood

The chief difference between a
modern house and an old-fashioned
home is that the modern house is
completely convenient. The plan OF
the old homes called for spacious
ness even at the price of great in
convenience. 1t made no difference
if you had to walk several miles
around the kitchen in the course
of a day or up and down stairs to
and from the laundry In the base
ment to say nothing of stoking the
furnace four or five times day.
The modern home aims at the elm
ination Of unnecessary steps and
drudgery.
A recent survey of the pet hates
of the housewife indicated that lack
of adequate closet space caused
more inconvenience than anything
else. Lack of storage space for
bulky articles such as trunks, chests
and luggage ranked high as nui-
sance and the lack of well-planned
kitchens and bathrooms and a
dearth of electric plugs where they
were most needed added to the
grievances.
The prospective home builder, or
the modernizer OF an old home,
should I familiarize himself with
modern closet engineering He will
find that a well-planned closet will
hold comfortably at least twice as
much as the old one-shelf, single
bar clothes closet and that order

MeShain Buys Air|ie,
Kaufman Estate
On Military Road

The 24-acre estate known as
Airlle, at Military road and Twen-
ty-seventh street NV, facing Rock
Creek Park, has been sold by Ru-
dolph. Max Kaufman and Mrs.
Barbara Kaufman Murray to
John McShain. Inc, of Philadel-
phia, well-known building contrac-
tor, through the Office of the Chevy
Chase Realty Co., it was learned
today.
Mr.. McShain, who now is build
Ing Georgetown University Hospital
and has constructed several large
Federal buildings in Washington,
told The Star in F. long distance
telephone interview that he had not
yet decided what to do with Airlie.
There will be no new develop
ment there for at least a year, how
ever" he said.
For some time the property has
been leased to "the Government
Purchasing Commission of the So
Wet Union in the United States"
Located at the intersection of
Military road and Twenty seventh
street formerly known as Daniel
road, the entire south and east
frontage is bounded by park, either
meadow or wooded. On the prop
erty and within a few yards of the
house are interesting Civil War
earthworks. There are five acres of
lawns, stately trees and shrubbery;
large formal garden with pool, and
farm land.
The house, facing south and on
high ground, is of field stone to the
second story and of frame above.
Long and deep porches are on the
south and east fronts. There is
superintendent's cottage of eight
rooms and bath, attached to a ga
rage-stable. There is also a separate
tenants house, two barns, silo and
other buildings, including green
houses. The property is one of the
few remaining farms in the District
OF Columbia.
Buildings on Arlie were con-
.structed in 1901 by the late Rudolph
Kaufman, father of Mrs. Murray
and R. M. Kaufman, and the
home was occupied by him until
1926. Since that time it has been
leased, first by him, and after his
death in 1927 by his estate.
