heavier when they face off against
Australia's Frank Sedgman and
George Worthington in a quarter

tween the Italian Davis Cupsters,

New Kitchen Fan
Ideal for Use on

By D.. M. Derwin

There is a growing demand by
homemakers for better ventilation
in their kitchens and laundries.
In fall, winter and spring, this
demand is accentuated mainly
because doors and windows are
closed and natural ventilation
through open doors and windows
is not practical.
A new type Of kitchen ventilat-
ing fan-one that will do double
duty twelve months a year-is
now being marketed. This new
fan can be operated as a window
exhaust fan or can be snapped
out of its window panel and used
as a portable circulating fan.
It is designed particularly for

The shopper for a house selling

This is one of the findings from

between $25,000 and $4,000.
The demand for homes built to
order is surprisingly low. Esti-
mates range from 10 to 20 per

Developers, incidentally, report
that business is showing signs OF

cooler Weather and opening OF

doldrurns.
All agree on one buying habit
the prospective buyer of the higher
price home insists on protection
of his investment. Builders ex-
plain this by pointing out that
customers seek home in a neigh
borhood of similarly priced
houses.
In answer to this, builders are
turning to suburban areas and
developing units of six or more

Question: We have a deep, fairly
level back yard which I wish to
make into a children's play area.
Would you suggest leveling off the
space and then surfacing with
cinders and then lay pieces of
sandstone? Or would it be better
to set the stone in sand? The area
would be 20 by 40. and too expen-
sive to cement. Should the area
be edged or inclosed with brick
or cement footings? I need some
thing which will drain easily, and
will hold up under heavy play.
Answer: I can give you a for

for laying flagstone stepping
