dining rooms, and around the
front entrance to bring daylight
to the vestibule.
Glass Block for Privacy
Another interesting feature is
the dining-kitchen unit. The
kitchen is U-shaped and is sepa-
rated from the dining area by
snackbar counter over which
is hanging cupboard. Expan-
sive window area is provided in
the dining section but where
privacy from neighbors is de-
sired, glass block panel is SUBJ
stituted. The block reduces heat
loss, a saving that will be re-
fiected in lower fuel bills.
Spacious in itself, the living
room appears even larger be-
cause of the unbroken sweep
into the dining room. The illu-
sion of spaciousness is further
heightened by a picture window
which can be given added i'm
portance by fianking panels of
glass block.

This master plan offers the
prospective home owner with
moderate income an opportu-
nifty to develop house to his
own individual tastes and needs
without excessive building costs.
Designed by a prominent
architect, it is exceptionally
flexible. It offers a choice of
architectural treatments and
room arrangements wit h ou t
changes in the basic plan.
For Individuality
Rooms can be transposed to
suit the needs of the owner. The
bathroom can be enlarged, an
other added on the upper floor
without major struct tural
changes. Dormers, bay windows
can be incorporated, gable and
roof lines shifted according to
desires. The garage can be de-
tached, even turned to become
a wing of the house.
The plan is the answer to the

builder to substitute individu-
ality for uniform monotony in
large-scale housing develop
ments. AS former head of the
National Association of Home
Builders and adviser to the u. S.
Joint Congressional Committee
on Housing, Robert P. Gerholz
is well grounded in what most
people want and can afford.
He took his problem to
Charles Noble, Detroit archi-
tect, and commissioned him to
design a basic house which
would permit individuality
wit III 1T sacrificing economy.
This has been accomplished by
coordinating the. master plan
with 18 architectural variations.
All can be built with standard
building methods and materials.
The planning shows evidence
of careful attention to house
hold traffic flow and a good use
of space. The living room, CEN
trail hub of the floor layout, is
adjacent to the dining and Sleep
ing areas. The bathroom is
convenient to the two lower
floor bedrooms.
Luxury Bathroom
This bathroom is the luxury
unit in homes built from the
basic plan at Flint, Michigan.
1t includes many features that
can be adopted by prospective
home builders anywhere.
Measuring just by 7 feet,
the bath unit offers built-in sun
lamps, fan-driven heaters, cleo
trio shaver accessories, glass
stall showers, and glass block
walls as standard equipment.
Glass block used in the ex-
terror wall above the bathtub,

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-(NANA)-
The remnants of the once great
French empire in India-most of
which was lost to the British India
Co. by Louis XIV in the middle of
the Eighteenth Century-are to de-
eide shortly by plebiscite whether
to join the Indian dominions or
to remain French dependencies. The
territories of Pondichery, Chandler
mayor, Karikal and Maize are in
volved.
A dispatch from Chandernagor to
Climats, Paris weekly, reports that
the French colonies are currently
swarming with Communist agita-
tors from Hindustan and Pakistan.
They are held responsible for re-
cent riots in Chandernagor but are
primarily sheltering under the
French flag while stirring up trouble
in Hindustan, whence they have
been outlawed by the government
of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
The date of the plebiscite has not
yet been set. But agreement has

Shirt Shop Planned Here By LA. Pair

A search for a new business location that began in Los Ange- les, Calif., ended in Palmer last week, and will shortly result in the establishment of new small business here. David Algarin and Joseph Hudock expect to be ready to unlock the doors of Dave and Joe's Shirt Shop, located in the former quarters of the Frontier liquor store, by Thurs day of this week at the latest.
 The men were engaged in the making of hand-tailored shirts in Los Angeles, and expect to con- duct similar business here. They have an original pattern by which they style their made-to- order shirts.
 The made-to-measure shirts will be available in light weight Wools and gabardines at the new shop. If demand for their pro- duct is good, Algarin and Hudock may later begin to tailor ladies skirts, for which they also have an original pattern.
 The newcomers plan to make their home in Palmer. They are fixing living quarters to the rear of their shop location.
 Asked how they happened to choose Palmer as their new loca- tion, MT. Rudock replied, Well, at first we didn't-but we began to hear so much about Palmer when we got to Alaska that we decided we'd better come down and see it. The most up-and-com- ing little town in Alaska, they told us."
 MT. Hudock added that Pal mer's people were more recep- tive to the idea of the planned shop than any other spot along the Pacific coast or in Alaska. The partners drove north from Los Angeles, Investigating pos sible locations for their business as they came.

New ARRC Shop Gives Workers Comforts Of Home

So pleased are the men who work in the almost-finished equipment shop of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation with their new work quarters, it's surprising they even bother to go home nights.
 When they recount their assets of oil heat, electricity and water, it's even more surprising that they don't find their spacious 30x142 shop all cluttered up with prospective homesteaders. All that, plus it's Walking-distance-to- town location seem too much re- finement to waste on a repair shop for trucks, tractors and land-clearing equipment.
 But that's what the shop was built for, and that's what it's being used for, right now. "It's the most modern shop in Pal mer," according to foreman L. z. Scott. And Mir. Scott should know, for he helped to plan it and then to build it.
 One of the incest things in the shop, according to it's foreman, is the new overhead hoist just installed. It travels on an over- head beam and has a cross-hoist which enables the work crews to handle heavy equipment at al- most any location in the shop.
 The building, on which work was begun last fall, is of cement block construction. It cost about ,00O to build.
 There are three men now em- ployed at the shop, in addition to MT. Scott. However the employe list sWells to seven or eight dur ing the busy summer repair months. The men presently at work in the ARRC shop are Ray Mckechnie, Fritz Hermon and Jack Leik.
