Of possible choices, it is the
job Of the architect to guide
the owner in the selection Of
materials that are both appro-

The house as a whole must

foolish to introduce marble, for

The beauty of a house can

side. There is warm" and

point of view, though it is
almost impossible for the lay
man to judge what the total
effect will be from looking at

Brick houses predominant in
this area. Some materials,
such as stone, are less easily

The Government rented 1872
acres Of land as the site of the
development. though only a
fraction of the land was oc-
cupied by the dwellings. The
rest of the land was unused.
At one time, a spokesman
said, PHA wanted to give up
80 acres. But the landowner
refused to permit this under
provisions Of the lease, PHA
said.
Originally the Government
paid $4,000 a year rent for
the land.
In 1850, the rent was in
creased to $11.061 a year. In
1851. the, rent went UP to
$14.244 a year.

Since mortars differ, the
mortar selected should har.

It is well to remember that
some woods change color when
the natural grain is exposed
to the weather. Redwood. for
example, settles into a reddish
gray.
Only the woods that weather
well. such as cypress, oak,
cedar and redwood should be
used in the exterior if they
are to be given an oil or stain
finish, in which case the quail
ity and grain of the wood are
actually serving to enhance
the beauty Of the house.
The quality of the wood is
not quite so important if 1t
is to be painted. In this case,
poplar and pine are frequently
selected.
The wood used for framing
the interior-that is, for joists,
wood studs and rafterS-need
not be a specially finished
type of wood, but must be ap-

Woods that will take a greater

WATER PROBLEMS

Wafer problems, more and
more. are arousing attention of
Washington officials and re-
search men across the country.
''Probably most of all, we need to
get on top of our water supply prob
lens" says USDA's soils-water re-
search boss, DR.. Bob Salter.
''Every state has such problems.
The interests of industry as well as
of agriculture are directly involved.
AS we try to irrigate more-and the
recent increases have been sensa-
tional-we run into new problem
after new problem not merely
where to get the water and how
much to apply and when, but also
how to use it and get rid of it with
out running the soil through erosion,
water-logging, accumulation of salts,
and so on. In many areas, the low
ering of water tables is causing a
great deal of worry. =. In my opin-
ion, we must face up to the water
problem of the nation and do it fast.
We researchers are tagging behind
public opinion in this matter. - %

Condition of the economy and

What disturbs Eisenhower & Co.
are figures showing unemployment
mounting toward million :. . with
industrial activity down about 10
per cent from last summer. Awhile
back the President was being told
