HARNfONIZE WITH

HARMONIZE WITH BAN
BOo-Do you ever wonder why
some apartments seem to be SO
well decorated, yet others with
equally good furnishings are just
a hodge-podge?
The answer is really quite
simple and, once found. can help
you to give your apartment that
special attractiveness which in
dicates a good interior decorator
has been at work.
The way to start is to analyze
room you think is well decor
ated. The chances are that
you'll find the room has a uni
flying theme in its decoration. 1t
may be period furniture. clever
use of colors or it may be a type
of decorative material like bam-
boo. =,
Whatever the theme. you will
find it followed out in many
variations throughout the room
so that it ties together the def
Iferent elements-chairs, sofa
tables, bookcases. radio and tele-
vision giving the room a feeling
of order and harmony.
We mention bamboo because
right now this material is be-
coming available in American
markets in a wide variety OF
forms - window shades, lamp
shades, waste baskets. place
mats, Grapes, cafe curtains. ano
wall hangings used as back
grounds for mementos or deco
lrations.
| If you are in an experimental
mood. you may want to try to
use bamboo as the decorative
theme in your living dining area
lit is one of the least expensive
Iof decorative materials and
blends well with many types OF
FURNISHINGS.
| GIRLS, DO-IT-YOURSELF---
with fall fashions making daily
news. and the stores full of fresh
stocks of beautiful materials
there is plenty of incentive to
make new fall outfits yourself
and save a good half on theil
cost.
Many apartment jewellers like
to sew. but hesitate to start such
projects because they dread tt
see the apartment a clutter Of
scraps. threads. and sewing par
aphernalia swhile the project il
being completed.
! 1t would be ideal to have ar
attic room and close the door
when you sew, but with a little
planning, you can turn ou'

FILA Changes
Its Minimum
Requirements

The Federal Housing Admin
bistration this week announced
several changes in minimum re-
Iquirements that property must
meet to be eligible for FHA-
insured financing.
In announcing the changes,
FILA Commissioner Norman p
Mason said they are designed
to help buyers to obtain more
for their money" in FHA-
financed homes.
The changes were arrived at
latter series of meetings be-
tween Neil A. Conner. director
of the agency's Division OF
Architectural Standards and the
FILA Architectural Standards
Advisory Committee.
Mr.. Mason emphasized that
the standards described are the
least acceptable. but that the
agency may require structures tc
meet higher standards in the
interest Of market acceptance
or to meet special local condi-
tons.
Among the changes were:
Tightening of insulation re-
quirementS.
Increasing minimum garage
length from 10 to 20 feet, and
width, for two-car garages, from
III feet 6 inches to IS feet 4
inches.
Tightening specifications for
concrete block.
Several relaxations Of specifi-
cations were made with a view
to reducing cost to the home
owner. Among these were:
Finished flooring is not re-
quired where the agency receives
assurance that wall-to-wall car
lpeting will be installed,
4 Wood joist floor systems are
now acceptable without anchor
ing in areas not subject to
earthquake.
Corner bracing may be in
stalled on the inside faces OF
studs. without being let into the
corner posts.
Setting and purifying Of nails
in exterior wood trim is not re-
quired If corrosion- resistant
nails are used.
Painting of unexposed portions
Of galvanized sheet metal used
as flashing or roofing is no longer
required.
Installation Of cutters and
downspouts is required only il
soil and other conditions make
them necessary.
Without detailing them, the
FILA also said that several
Ichanges have been made in the
requirements for slab-on-g ground
construction following recon
mendations made to FILA by the

Facts About
Folks

DR.. and Mrs. M. J. Chakeres,
South Main Street, are home from
a three weeks motor trip to Cal
ifornia The Speedometer register
ed 6742 miles when they arrived
back in London, with most of their
time spent Ion the move" stopping
mostly where their fancy took
them in the southwest area. They
spent five days in Los Angeles;
found Las Vegas, more than inter-
eSting; crossed over to Tia Juana,
saw the Grand Canyon, Salt Lake
City, and numerous other places.
But the one city of all that really
captured their personal interest
was Cheyenne, Wyoming. 1t was
here that DR.. Chakeres' father,
James Chakeres, now of Columbus,
settled when he came to America
from Greece in 1902 and was en-
ployed by the Union Pacific rail-
road. He commissioned them TO
stop there without fail, when they
set off on their journey. Twas
truly a case of, "There've Been
Some Changes Made" when the
son and daughter-in-laW reported
on their visit, which set off a
chain of reminiscing.
