Evening star., 1951-12-15
By Douglas Tuomey

A clever idea in kitchen tables
has appeared recently, and seems
to be the answer for the home
owner who is not altogether
pleased with the location of
counters and shelves.
This item is a two-shelf and
countertop arrangement which
can be swiveled around to any
part of the kitchen you want.
1t runs on small ball-bearing
casters and floats around at the
lightest touch. Pushed over to
the range, it offers a handy rest
for pots and pans which must be
cleared off to make room for
other things.
Brought close to the sink or
dishwasher. it is ready to receive
a pile of dishes or silverware.
When not in use, it can be placed
if any corner or left in the center
of the floor to double as a kitchen
table.

able for the user. There is but
one material used; half inch ply
wood.
! The table is made by cutting
three ell-shaped pieces in the
thumb-nail sketch. These are
then assembled and boxed in with
sides. back and short side piece
as shown. The shelves do not
need battens or supports beneath
them, but are secured by mailing
through from sides and back
When accurately cut, the assem-
bly, is stiff and sturdy.
The top may be covered with
lmoleum or other counter ma
terial. and a half-round molding
around the top edge serves to
keep it in place. Two coats of
paint, or one of paint and one of
enamel, are recommended for a
finish.
II the owner desires, a bright
contrasting color may be used on
the interior of the shelf COM

Pig Beats Horse in Fight
AT Agricultural Show

A fight between pig and a
horse was the unscheduled event
of the recent Agricultural Show
at Mooreesburg, South Africa.
A large white pig broke loose
and ran into the stall of a show
horse. which kicked savagely. The
pig. unfrightened, sank its teeth
into the horses hindleg. The
horse, injured, was out of the
show but the porker rounded off
the day by winning a prize.

mating housing for the different
services.
To Designate Areas.
Under the Wherry Act, which
supplies liberal Federal credit aids
for production of military housing
at bases and other military in
stallations, it will designate sites
for development. Likewise, it will
participate in policymaking for
direct construction of family
housing by the services, but will
not be concerned with barracks
and other types of non-family
housing.
A native of Massachusetts, Mr..
Coogan has been active as a Flor
ida builder. During World War II,
he constructed housing and air.
port projects for the services. He
is now president of Housing Sc
curities, Inc, of New York.
Meanwhile, another step was
taken this week to increase the
supply of housing around military
bases and in defense areas with
the first assignment of 16 tenn
porary defense housing projects to
be built in IA critical defense
areas.
The projects will include 2,815
units and will be built under con-
tract through the Public Housing
Administration The assignment
of the projects was made yester-
day to PHA by Housing Admins
traitor Raymond M. Foley.
Temporary Housing Provisions.
The Defense Housing Act pro-
vided that in locations where
housing need is temporary, trail
ers, portable family dwellings and
prefabricated housing may be
built. Congress appropriated s25
for such housing, and
HHFA estimated the cost of the
first assignments will be Sl1.5,
million.
Location and size of the projects
were determined after consulta-
lion with the Defense Department
and the three military services on
The basis of the highest priority
Of urgency" Additional assign
ments soon will be made.
Among the projects, was one for
the Norfolk-P Portsmouth area, in
Virginia, to have 225 units, and
another for the cambridge -ElktonI
area in Maryland, to have 60
units
Contracts will be awarded on
the basis of competitive bidding.

Home Output Exceeds
Million So Far in 81

More than a million homes
have been built so far this year
by the Nations home builders, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
ported today.
A total of 10000 new home
units were started IN November,
a decline of II per cent from Oc-
tober. The cumulative total for
the first II months of the year
is 1,022 600, as compared with
l ,302,400 for the corresponding
period last year.
This years housing production
will be the second highest in his
tory. Highest was in 1850.

acceptable in most instances, the
9-inch width harmonizes better
in larger rooms with higher cell
ings.
Thus 116-inch picture window
in a large room would require q
48-inch basic valance; two exten-
sion valanceS, one 48 inches and
one 33 inches, with three decora-
tive panels, all in the 9-inch
width.
In such an arrangement, the
valances would extend 612 inches
on either side of the window
However, if less drapery space is
wanted beyond the window, an
extension valance of "a inches
rather than 33 inches would re-
duce the 6l2 inches on each side
to but 2 inches.
The valances are available in
a soft ivory finish which was de-
veloped so that they could be re-
painted to match the color of the
wall, woodwork or to harmonic
with any other part of the deco
rative scheme.
The only tool needed to install
these fluorescent valanceS is a
screwdriver. Once in position, all
that remains is simply to plug
the extension cord into the near
est electrical outlet.

Dinsmore, who has been on the
county detective force for only q

the Dugan residence.
Mr.. Dinsmore said he and 1t.
