MOVABLE HOUSES
ARE BEGUN HERE
AS EXPERIMENT
e.. |. Demand For Lower Priced
Units Brings Out "Unfinish-
ed" Prefabricated Type

In response to G. I. demands for
houses in the lower price brackets,
Laurel Construction company We'd
nesday began building the first in
a portable series of movable
houses. Dimensions are "a feet
wide and 16 feet depth, the con-
struction consisting of three rooms
to which two more rooms may later
be added.
The purchaser does the inside and
outside finishing in his spare time,
using materials he procures from
any source. Also he provides the
site and foundation to which the
house is moved from the place of
fabrication.
The "a by 16 unit has a ~ by
10 living room, an 8 by IL bed
room, a closet and a standard 5 by
8 bathroom to be used as a kitchen.
Later, should the two-room extra
unit be added, the former kitchen
becomes a bathroom and the kitchen
and another bedroom are in the new
part.
The customer buys the movable
house in what is known as the "un-
finished" state. He provides the
and plumbing and inside and
finishing while he and his
live in the structure. John

GUNTER IS
AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP
IN NURSES TRAINING

Announcement was made this
week that a nurses scholarship of
$3.50, offered by the Laurel Wo-
mans Federated club, had been
awarded Miss Beverly Gunter,
daughter of Mrs. Christine Gunter.
Raising money for the training
fund was begun early in the spring
of 1913 as part of the national pro-
ject of women's clubs to encourage
young girls to enter the nursing
profession and relieve the shortage
that existed during the war years.
Soon after the project started the
cadet nursing program was initial
ed, which was much larger and
greatly helped the field of nursing.
In the meantime the Laurel fund
was held intact, and after the cadet
program had been removed the
Laurel scholarship was again Of
fered.
The money for the scholarship
was raised in various ways. A tea
was given which Melted S42, and
other organizations who recognized
the existing need also contributed,
the sums ranging from 81 to $25.
Part of the fund is yet to be
and plans are being made
to secure the remainder of the
money.
Miss Gunter attended Laurel pub
lie schools and graduated from high
school last spring. She was recon-
mended by Supt. Fred W. Graft as
a candidate for the scholarship.
She, accompanied by her mother,
made a personal application at the
.ahler Hospital Schools of Nursing
Rochester, Mimi, where she was
accepted. She entered training
