At ages under 5, fatal falls out of

deaths also occur in sports and

At ages Is to g., the fatal falls

Rustproof Screening
Deters Suns Rays
Eliminates Awnings
BY HiIson Munsey

II the screening needs to be re-
placed it is worth considering a
form available both for new screens
and requirements. This is not made
on the same plan as the ordinary
bronze screening. Instead the hori-
zontal wires are fiat and placed at
an angle. This has the effect OF
keeping out the heat rays of the
sun to a large extent, thus acting
as an insulation for the room. The
Stats are set at an angle of II de-
grees, which has been found to be
the best for the purpose of keeping
the room cool. This screening will
let in the maximum amount oi
light because the vertical wires that
hold the states are placed far apart
and do not obstruct the circulation
of air nor do they interrupt the
view. 1t eliminates the need of clos
ing the windows and drawing the
shades when the sun is shining into
the room, which is one way of keep
ing the room cool but rather gloomy
This screening will not rust Of
rot and is particularly resistant tt
windstorm. 1t is also freproof. L
removes the need for awnings be.
cause it accomplishes the same pur.
pose of keeping out the rays of the
sun. OF course, in addition to act.
ing as an insulation it will also keer
out insects as we'll as any 16-mesf
woven screening. There is no ad.
justment to be made after tht
screening is installed as the slat!

Home Builders Urged to Use
Held for Veterans P|ucurd

Federal housing officials today is
sued an appeal to builders to place
the new red, white and blue Held
for Veterans" placards on all hous-
ing being built under the veterans
emergency housing program.
The request was made by Housing
Expediter Wilson w. Wyatt and
Commissioner Raymond M. Foley
Of the Federal Housing Administra-
ton.
The placards replace the yellow
posters previously used to designate
homes and apartments under con-
struction for veterans. Carrying
the FHA-approved sales or rental
price, the placards should be posted
conspicuously in front of each dwell
| ing under construction, officials
stressed.
Mr.. Wyatt pointed out that the
new signs benefit both builders as
we'll as veterans. They are evi-
dence Of the job builders are doing
to get homes for veterans and they
show veterans that houses are be-
ing built for them and will be held
for them" he added.
