with these difficulties"
Plans TO document the records of
Christian Science wartime ac-
tivities of the last conflict in a book
to be published early in t947 were
disclosed by the Trustees. The vast
scope of these activities was covered
in another report, showing that 1876
paid Wartime Ministers, 20 Chap
lans and 495 volunteer Wartime
Workers were engaged at the peak
of war activities in Canada and the
United States alone,
In Great Britain, 1876 Christian
Science Rest Centers for the troops
were established, and $50 almoners
were appointed to dispense relief,
it was disclosed Appointment Of
nearly 500 volunteer Wartime Wor-

$4,000 handlnitted garments were
said to have been distributed among
the armed forces.

If these systems are to survive,
declared the official spokesman
of the world-embracing Christian
Science movement, they must
furnish proof that the ideals for
which they stand can be made of
practical use in advancing the cul-
tural economic and spiritual welfare
of the race
This statement from the Directors
was given before thousands of
Christian Scientists attending the
first peacctime Annual Meeting in
five years, many of whom came from
countries long shut off from the
world by war. They brought with
them vital lessons from the troubled
years just passed to emphasize the
Directors contention that "the SUI
preme duty of statesmen and church
men at this crucial hour is TO use
every means at their command to
prevent another world conflict and
to bind up the unhealed wounds left
by the last one"
This is no time for them to re-
sort either to subterfuge or aggres-
sion as a means Of extending the
political influence of any church or
state the statement said.
Continuing on these lines, the Di-
rectors insisted that there is no
room in the church for politics, and
in democratic system of govern
ment there is no room in politics for
the church. There is, however, al
ways room in politics for the moral
sense of religion"
Applying that statement with
equal force to national and inter
national affairs, the Directors
added: ut makes little difference
whether it be a conflict between
political ideologies and religious dog
mas or an open warfare between
armed forces; the results are always
stultifying."
IF those who are today engaged
in the grave task of building a
world government for the purpose
of establishing permanent and uni
versal peace on earth, fail to turn
to God for guidance and fail to make
spiritual integrity the very founda-
tlonal stone in their structures, they
will have labored in vain"
Awareness of the basic national
need for divine guidance evoked
profound statement from Ben
jamin Franklin during the heated
Constitutional Convention in Phil
adelphia, which the Directors cited
as still apropos in today's problems.
Quoting the familiar Scriptural pass
age, Except the Lord build the
house, they labour in vain that build
it" Franklin added: 'T firmly be-
lieve this: and I also believe that
without His concurring aid we shall
succeed in this political building
no better than the builders of Babel;
we shall be divided by our little,
partial local interests And what
is worse, mankind may hereafter
from this unfortunate instance de-
spair of establishing governments
by human wisdom and leave it to
chance, war, and conquest"
In the present unsettled economic
and political picture, the Christian
Scientists official governing body
envisaged conditions fraught with
the same evil consequences as in
Franklin's day. And they assured
the Annual Meeting that cit is just
as true now as it was then that

full Planning Essential to Make Real Home
MGnV HOnleOUnerS FGiL To Nuke Proper PLGrlS

Ninety-nine percent of newly built homes could have been at least twenty percent better if they had been more thoughtfully and intel ligently planned, in the opinion of Elizabeth Gordon, editor of House Beautiful magazine.
 Tn line with the Better Your Home Better Your Living" campaign of the magazine, which is designed to raise the American standard of hv- ing by encouraging the spending of more money on the home instead of on non-essentials, Miss Gordon states.
 We have not required that new houses be markedly better than old houses. We have been content fl the new house had a few super ficial cliches of improvement that were popular at the time the house was built; door chime instead of a doorbell, a colored bath in- stead of a white one, 8 cedar clos ct, a dish washer"
 Asserting that better houses won't come until Americans envision them, she declares that in the mat ter O. dreaming up better homes Americans have not done very good job.
 Without the burden of extra cost the appearance and usefulness oi new homes could have been i'm.

Modern Era In Building

A trend is developing toward a new era in building in America, which for lack of a better or less all-inclusive term, we shall call modern"
 The distinguishing characteris- tics of this style, according to Practical Builder, Chicago, are a returning emphasis upon the hor- izontal in line and mass design, and a lack of ornamentation in the manner of the oldtime heavy cor nices and high pitched roofs. The modern house is planned from the inside out, in the belief that the best arrangement is to adapt the exterior to the planned interior de- sign. Most modern houses stress the "open" plan-that is. minimum of partitions with certain areas sometimes separated by folding doors or removable partitions, so that various rooms can be com bined when the occasion requires. Built-in furniture lends itself par ticularly well to modern structures, since window placement so often emphasizes the unusual.
 The traditional house has alrea- dy been proven as a durable, com fortable plan. It is not dated; it's appearance has been similar from year to year, and it still is pleasing to the eye. Even in so convention al 8 house as a Cape Cod design, the influence of the modern Is be- ing felt in larger window areas and |. more open interior plan.
 Again, as with so many of youl other decisions regarding youl home, locality will play an import. | ant role as a decisive factor.

Year Around Plants Help Cheer Home

With the trend toward outdoor living making itself felt all over the country, it is not surprising that home builders are extending their efforts in bringing the out side in" to planting areas through out the home, says Practical Builder, Chicago.
 The charm of fresh growing things has always had immense appeal to anyone taking pride in the attractive appearance of his home, and builders and architects have planned many new and novel ways in which you can enjoy plants and flowers in great abundance.
 The picture window in the living room is a very attractive setting for plants to be built into Summer and Winter your living room can have g. garden-like appearance.
 The planting area can even be extended to use as a div1der be- tween the living room and dining space where there is no other wall SCpd1 dblOll. n 14OOA OSOCAlb Ae12AAP IA the ceiling directly above will help to compensate for lacks of sun on these inside planting spaces.
 Out side of your home, built-in flowers boxes of masonry or of the material of which your home Is built help to create pleasant liv- ing. Built-in window boxes on the porch rail can be incorporated in old or new houses and add 8 feel ing of the South whether your home is in Maine or Minnesota.
 If your home is an old-fashioned one with colonnades that you are anxious to remove, very practical idea is to use that area for plant ing space, rather than patch in a new piece of floor, concludes Prac- l tical Builder.

Household Home Hints

Big panels of beautiful wood in- terior finishes can be obtained in hardwood plywood. Almost any kind of wood finish is now made in plywood-mahogany birch, wal nut, satinwood-literally dozens of kinds are available.
 If you're building new house, the telephone company will be glad to work with you. It's good idea to check with them in the planning stages so they can run their lines while the house is being built.
 Window manufacturers now make stock windows used in a series to make walls of windows. Such pie ture windows give good ventilation, weather protection, and an attrac- tive view.
 It is now possible to obtain wall boards in room sizes" so that a single board will form an entire wall with no joints, except at the corner. Such boards can be paint ed or papered, as desired.
 Many a good house is virtually wrapped up in paper-being sealed with an unbroken blanket against infiltration of air and moisture Such paper, reinforced with a spe- cial fiber, eliminates tears, rip and ptrnctures which become leaks

proved twenty percent through thoughtful and intelligent planning, Miss Gordon believes.
 '"That-a lot of people failed to get the greatest good out of their money because they failed to dream big enough dreams" she asserts. 'The less you have to spend, the more you should emulate the best. Only the rich can afford to make mistakes, or dream little dreams"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-09-03
Good Wiring Essentially important

Adequate wiring makes your rooms adaptable to furniture re- arrangement with plenty of con- venience outlets, so be sure that in building, modernizing or re- decorating, you also modernize your wiring facilities, says Practical Builder, Chicago.
 In the living room, wiring au- thorities suggest that duplex out lets be placed so that no point at the floor line is more than it. from an outlet, also one outlet in each smaller space 3 1t. or more in length, which makes it possible to place furniture where desired. A convenience outlet set flush on tor of fireplace mantel for lamps, clock or light over picture, and bookcase cove and valance lighting are all important items to be considered when you plan your wiring needs.
 In the bedrooms, be sure to in- clude triplex outlets near each bed and behind dressing tables for lamps, clocks, heating pads, radios electric blankets, etc. Remember the comfort of having lighting in the closets.
 In the halls, lights should be placed at the head and foot of each stairway. Plan on including duplex outlets near table or chest for lamps, vacuum cleaner, etc. A night light in the upper hall will insure safety to children, invalids and guests.
 In the bathroom, lights on both sides of the mirror will give even shadowless light, and outlets near the mirror will provide for the shaver, hair drier, sun lamp, etc.
 Plenty of convenience outlets at counter height in the kitchen should be planned to take care of all pres ent and probable future needs Lights are necessary over the sink and food preDaration counters.

Window Serves / Double Purpose

In your al-purpose room which will serve as 8 combination guest room, playroon, hobby room, study or whatever various other uses your family needs demand, plan on in- cluding a window between rooms Then when the room is being used by the youngsters, you will be able to keep an eye on them, and they won't even realize they are being observed. A drape at one side or venetian blind will give privacy when the room Is being used by guests.

DUST BOX

One builder has invented 'duSt box" for which his wife thanks him daily. Similar to drawer. it is oper- ated simply by pushing a. foot lever which opens the box and makes a perfect receptable for dust particles that the dust pan won't pick up. It is built-in at one corner of the kitch- en about six inches below floor level. Detachable, it easily entpties into the garbage disposal unit.

Adopts $4,000, 900 As 1947 Quote

more than 1900 Jewish community
leaders from all parts of the

A report submitted to the meet

of the UJA drive may reach

achievement of the 1916 goal, the
largest sum ever raised by Ameri-
can Jewry. The report emphasiz-
ed that the 100000, 1000 was three
times greater than the amount
contributed to the UJA in 1915.
In spite of the fact that the
$1OO,OOO,000 drive exceeded its
quota, the report disclosed that

surface. Where they cannot be

ed. Both require some cleaning
process to eliminate foreign mat
ter.
More complex is a mechanical
picker developed by Joe and Matt
Stankavich of Bandon. Thin alumni
mum prongs lift the berries from
the vines and a ridged, rubberized
canvas belt sweeps them back into
a box. One man, they say, can
pick so boxes an hour with their
machine. A hand-picker averages
some 10 boxes a day.
Taking a still different approach,
Harry May, school teacher, and
Lewis McGeorge, retired sand and
gravel dealer, developed a suction
picker for their bog at North End.
Two large suction hoses are run
over the vines and the suction pulls
the berries loose and carries them
into a COLLECTION box which has
a cleaning battle modelled on a
grain cleaning device. The whole
affair is mounted on a standard
rubber-tired farm wagon. Two men,
they say can gather as much as
could 10 hand pickers.
Growers, plagued throughout the
wa by a shortage of pickers, have
encouraged those with mechanical
picker ideas and are experiment
ing with other ideas of their own.

would mean can only be tremblingly
surmised.
Owners Strike
surmised.

We can imagine the emotions Of the
Quonset-hut jewellers, the mother-in-
law guests, and all the thousands Of
harried, homeless, hopeless house-hunt-
ers when they read that 100000 rental
units stand vacant today in what
threatens to become a nationwide prop
erty owners strike.
This edifying bit of news came from
the National Apartment Owners Assn
convention in Oklahoma City. The
benevolent delegates didn't suggest
evicting tenants, but they urged that
when units become vacant they be lock-
ed and kept vacant.
One speaker was quoted as saying,
1.-THE only way we car get back control
of our property which has been confis-
Gated by the GA is to fight and fight
hard" So some owners proposed to
fight by starting a "strike" which would
infuriate an already impatient public,
perhaps cause violence and property
damage and, of course, leave the OPA
entirely untouched.
