Country Home Owner
Follows Simple Rules
To Build Good Road
By w. Wordsworth Wood

Practically all suburban or coun-
try homes have a private road, even
though it may only lead to the ga
rage. If the road is properly built
it will give satisfactory service for
years. If not, it may be a source Of
constant irritation, of real serious
damage to your car and an eyesors
to boot.
Road building follows an extreme
ly simple pattern, and there Is
nothing about it which the average
homeowner cannot absorb and exec
cute himself.
In these days of high building
costs, private roadways do not re-
ceive too much attention. In many
cases the turf is scalped off the
ground, few loads OF stone or
2inders dumped and spread, and a
road thus presented. 1t may look
fairly good and be passable, until
bad weather has had a chance to
work on it. From then on it will
deterlorate under normal use.
Excavation Required.
Solid road building consists Of
laying out the side-lines, and then
excavating the ground to a depth
of some 9 or 10 inches.
The roadway must have slope
toward the public street Or high
way. The excavated area should
be raked smooth and thoroughly
Wetted down with a hose, or al
lowed to weather" The next step
is to. lay a course or layer of heavy
stones, broken rock or concrete,
from three to four inches deep.
These should be tamped or
pounded into place, and form what
might be called the foundation of

The model house Is the first one

All plans announced throughout
the country this week have points
Of similarity. Two are one-story
plans, one of which provides for an

places the garage in the basement.
The other two plans are for two
story houses with attached garage.
Both two-story designs have the
same floor plan, with slightly diff
ferent exterior treatment.
Developers of the plan made no
estimates of the exact savings pos

savings will hinge on how far they

Sane Goddess Creed

Europe's biggest problem for to-

Europe now causes nothing more
than a shrug.
Just as shocking is the cynicism
and lack of faith you find among
the children of the better families.
The 14-year-old son of a fairly
wealthy French merchant speaks
his mind:
Papa is a fool. He wants me
to 60 to church and expects me
to believe what they say there. I
go sometimes just to please him
even though all my friends laugh
at me for it,"
A Czechoslovakian Government
official laments the attitude of his
l6-year-old boy:
"Once 1 thought my son was a
good boy. Now 1 am not so sure.
He calls working a waste of time.
He laughs when 1 try to talk to
him about religion. He leaves
home for days and I don't know
where he has gone. AMI my
friends who have children say the

when I was a child"
