Pick House COlOrs to Suit
Setting, Architect Advises

Royal Barry Wills, noted archi-
tect, believes a house should be
color-styled in keeping with its
architectural design and land
scape planting, says American
Builder magazine.
Giving advice on color selec-
ton for home exteriors, the
building industry magazine rec
ommends colorS on which dirt is
least likely to show for a house
near a manufacturing district.
Gray and gray-green are men,
toned as examples.
For houses On tree-lined streets
in small towns or city suburbs,
sidewalks painted white or a light
color would be preferable. White,
which continues to be the top
preference for houses with board
siding, contrasts pleasantly with
the darker hues of the natural
environment.
American Builder calls atten-
tion to Mr.. Wills conviction that
color is one of the most impor-
tant means of setting the tone of
the home so that it harmonizes
with its surroundings If house
rs situated close to other homes,
the choice of color should be
based on the adjacent structures
to avoid an unattractive clash.
In an overall color plan, the
roof color is fully as important
Smyrna times., 1949-12-01

as the sideWall color because the
roof is an equally prominent area,
the magazine points out. Roof
colors usually are supplied by the
use of asphalt shingles in which
a wide variety of solid and
blended colors is available. As
phalt shingles are colored by a
ceramic process of firing" pig
ments into the granules with
which the roofing material is sur
faced.
Although first consideration
should be given to the roof and
the sidewalks, correct handling OF
little details can make house
stand out from the commonplace,
American Builder says. Doors,
shutters, fences, trim, door and
window frames, window sash and
chimneys are among the many
places suggested for enlivening a
home with colorfully painted ac-
cents.
Color also can be used psyche
logically to accentuate the best
architectural features of a house
and to suppress its less appeal
ing aspects. A dark roof makes
a tall house appear lower ana a
light-colored roof makes a low
house seem taller. A house with
white sidev lis appears consid-
erably larger than il would if 1t
were painted a dark color

the House. Senator Frear express
ed the hope to the New Castle
County Medical Society that the
name of DR.. Chef might be appro-
priately commemorated in some
other way. Today in a letter to
Veterans Administrator, Carl r.
Gray, Jr., Mr.. Frear has proposed
that plaque be placed in the new
chapel designating it as the DR..
Donald M. Chef Memorial Chapel.
DR.. C. L. Munson, President of the
Medical Society, says that his or
ganization favors the action which
will fittingly honor the deceased
member of their profession. Com
menting on the matter, Senator
Frear said, "The presence of a
chapel in our new Veterans Admin
istration Hospital where patients
may seek spiritual solace or give
thanks for their recovery is just as
important in every way as is the
physical care which the hospital
will provide. 1t is fitting, too, that
this new chapel be named in mem
ory of DR.. Chef, who had dedicated
his life to the service of others,
but like so many of his comrades
paid the supreme price in defense
of our liberty.

CHAPEL FOR

New VA Hospital at Els

PROPOSE DOCTORS NAME

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear, Jr., was assured by the Vet
Grams Administration today that
the new VA Hospital now un-
der construction in Elsmere will
have a chapel for the use of its
patients and staff. What's more,
Senator Frear and Senator John j..
Williams are jointly proposing that
the chapel be named in memory OF
a Delaware physician who lost his
life in the recent war. The appar-
ent absence of plans for chapel
at the new hospital was brought to
Senator Frear's attention by a
number of Delaware clergymen
who expressed dismay that no pro-
vision was being made for an ap-
propriate place of worship. Mr.
Frear promptly took up the ques-
ton with Veterans Administration
authorities. In reply, he was IN
formed that chapel will be added
as a small wing to the main build
ing after its completion. In fact
drawings for the structure are al
ready prepared, Senator Frear was
informed
In Memory of DIR. Donald Chef
With the chapel certainty, the
two Delaware Senators are now
proposing that it be named N
memory of DR.. Donald M. Chett,
the only doctor from the state ol
Delaware killed in action IN the
second world war. The New Castle
