When you are planning an
"easy- to-live-in" house for a big
family, you should think about
making 1t appear large inside.
Five or six children and two
adults cannot be very well salts
fed, day in and day out, in a
house cut up into tiny cell-like
rooms.
Members Of such family not
only need space; they need spa
ciousness.
If the space that you buy Il
unduly cut up. closed in, restricted
wasted, or hard to use, you DOM
get as much "house" as you need
You get the space, but not the
spaciouSnesS.
The house discussed today was
designed so that it would offer
enough space for family of six
children and two adults, plus-as
a bonus-a feeling that it was
roomy.
In Fairfax County.
1t is a good-sized house (di-
mensions are so by Is feet but
the interior seems even larger
than the exterior would lead you
to believe. The owners are Mr..
and Mrs. Charles r. Locker. The
house is located about six miles
below Alexandria in Fairfax

County, of q. s. Route /. Harry
E. Ormston was the architect.
Mr.. Ormston worked out the
plan to take advantage of every
opportunity to make the house
seem large inside.
For example, the living room
is 13 feet by 30 feet. The 13-foot
width would appear to be rather
narrow, but when you are in the
room, it doesn't seem narrow fol
a number of very good reasons.
In the first place. a large floor
to-ceiling window along the south
side of the room opens it up tt
the garden. The large glass area
actually makes the room seem
wider, balancing it's dimensions
and creating a spacious effect.
When you are in the room. you
can discover by studying the ar
rangement that spaciousness was
contributed in other ways.
For example, the dining area is
not closed off as a separate room
1t is really a part of the living
room, with the effect of separa-
ton being given by four-foot-
wide china cabinet extending out
from the fireplace wall.

living area seem large, the sloping

tached to the house that it is pos
Isible for person to walk under
its roof to the kitchen entrance
or to the front door without being
exposed to the weather.
2. An outdoor terrace is paved
with concrete squares, cast and
placed by the owner.
8. Floors are of asphalt tile, of
one neutral color throughout. Cell
ings are plastered.
4. The dining area is placed
close to the kitchen for easy serv-
ing. A breakfast bar in the

kitchen has an 8-foot counter, to-
gether with stools.
s. The laundry and utility space
are adjacent to the kitchen, thus
saving steps.
Architects Ideas.
Mr.. Ormston made two COM
ments about the design. He said
he thought that, generally. a
house could be made to appear
more spacious with a one-foor
plan, and that use of the single-
slope roof made the house har-
monious and, at the same time,
utilitarian.
"This house provides 1,500
square feet of space" he said. "a
two-story house providing the
same amount of space would have
dimensions of 80 by Is feet. In
such a house it would be ex-
tremely difficult to provide the
same large amount Of open. spa
cious living area as it has been
possible to do with the one-f1oor
plan.
"As for the single-slope roof,
it has been recognized for thou
sands of years that it is better
to have the south side of the
house higher than the north side,
so that the suns rays from the
south can penetrate the interior
| in the winter time. This can best
be done with a single-slope roof,
which has its highest level on the
south side of the house and which
slopes down to its lowest level
on the north side of the house."
Mr.. Ormston said this prin.

thus providing solar heat to keep
fuel costs down.
4-FOot Roof Overhang.
A 4-foot roof overhang along
the entire south wall prevents rays
of the summer sun, which rides
high in the sky, from entering the
house in the warm months.
The exterior siding is of "
jointed redwood tongue and grove
boards. placed vertically. Window
frames are a combination of steel
easements and fixed glass set into

a wood frame. The roof is of the
built-up type. five ply. and sur
faced with Stag.
Interior walls of the entrance
hall. living-dining room, utility
playroom and kitchen are of
knotty pine, with the exception
of a 17-foot-long fireplace wall
in the living room, which is of
exposed brick. Other walls are
plastered and painted, or are of the
closet-wall type.

If few doctors fail to save lives, do

8. While the Nisei may feel Of

review for moment how the Japa-

mention these figures lest we get
to feel that only the whites are pre-
JUDGED. Using the Negro as STAN
dard of comparison. Japanese show
less prejudice than either the White
Americans or the Chinese, but the
strength of in-group feeling Is very
pronounced. For example, 40% of
the Japanese would net marry a
Chinese. and 46% would not marry a
Caucasian.
But here again, these are survey
results. They are farce according
to we old editor. Perhaps, it would
be more accurate to get the public
attitude some other way, such as the
mysterious, undisclosed technique
of knowing what the public feels,
which is apparently possessed by our
editor.
Or as some advocate, it is better
not to know how prejudiced most
people are. Why not live in ignor-
ance, for is it not true that ignor-
ance Is bliss?

just among people
by gordon hirobayashi


In his column, "Msin Street. the
editor of The Northwest Times gave
out with some opinions. Since my
name and profession we're involved,
and since my interpretations differ
from We old editor. feel some COM
ments are in order.
l. The editor belittles the survey
technique of acquiring line on pu-
bic opinion. He refers to 1t as a
farce.
1t might be well to look at surveys
in the light of those who use them.
Sociologists look upon a survey as
an instrument much as a doctor
looks upon a stethoscope or thermo-
meter. Neither the stethoscope
nor the thermometer cures any all
ment; however, they both give the
doctor an indication of the prevail
ing conditions much better than If
ne were to merely rely on his naked
senses.
Similarly, the sociologist, not feel
ing confident about spotty informa-
ton he might pick up here and
there, or merely sizing things up
for himself. attempts to get broad
ar representation of the public re-
garding public opinion. And when
he gets the survey results, the soci-
ologist considers them merely as an
indication of prevailing conditions,
not a cure-all.
We feel that much more intelli-
gent social action can result from
knowing the conditions than to kid
ourselves about the situation, or to
merely repeat our various prejudices
as though they represented the
views of all.
1t was interesting to note that
while We old editor decried surveys,
he writes, "One thing we're sure Of
the Japanese Americans offsprings
of proud people whose culture is
much richer than most of those in
the majority group. don't especially
care for those who feel sorry for
u.s." Whether one agrees or dis
agrees. the question remains: how
did the editor come to that conclu-
sion?
Did he consult every Japanese A
merican? Or did he merely consult
some of the japanese Americans?
In other words, did he carry on an
informal sort of survey? Or did he
merely consult himself and refer to
his own opinions as those of the ia
panese Americans?
2. Surveys generally involve sam
piles. This is done for two major
reasons: 1t costs too much to in
volve the total population; it takes
too long. Fortunately, there are
sampling designs worked out by sta
tisticians to insure randomness and
representativeness.
I agree with the editor that there
have been poorly conducted surveys.
Some had poorly -worded questions;
some involved too small sample;
some did not attempt to get re-
preventative cross-section of the
population.
