Need a Garbage Can Receptacle?
BY DouaIos TuomeY

When you live in the suburbs
you must be prepared to con-
tend with roaming dogs, stray
cats and occasional nocturnal
scavengers which upset garbage
cans and scatter the contents
over lawns and steps.
After one or two distasteful
experiences in cleaning UP the
mess the average householder is
apt to look for a means Of pre-
venting d repetition. To the
best of our knowledge, the most
practical solution will be found
in building a bin.
This receptacle is made by
first building a frame Of 2x4
wood strip and then sheathine
the bottom, sides. front and
back with half-inch' plywood
The cover is made Of plywooo
alone, overhanging the box or
sides and front by a half inch
and fastened to the back BY
means of plain strap hinges.
A hand-hole is made in the
front by notching out a small
opening in the front and three

you when the lawn-mowing sea-
son begins.
Sensible dimensions for drive
ways were discussed by a maya
zine writer recently. Drives"
he said, should be not less than
912 feet wide to allow for Ia
inches of clearance on each side. "
(This writer has a driveway 10
feet wide, and still people insist
on cutting new routes over the
lawn
For all turns, the writer figures
the inside radius should be about
20 feet and the outside radius
about 80 feet to prevent wheels
from running off the drive. These
dimensions are from the center
Of an imaginary circle to each
curb Of the curving driveway.
Easiest to Make.
The simplest kind Of q turn
around is in the form of a T with
the stem of the T either in front
of the house or of to one side
If you have a wide lot. You back
out of the garage and into the
stem Of the T, then drive out.
head-on, into the street.
After considerable research
and experimenting, it was con-
cluded that high fences and
shrubs along the street are
among the worst hazards. Also
the shape of the entrance of q
driveway into a street should be
in the form of an inverted Y
rather than an inverted T. This
prevents sharp turns into traffic
and affords better vision.

Ioday's Question:
Does Your Driveway
Need Modernizing!
By Dovid G. Boreuther

Your driveway is probably the
most obsolete feature about your
house. It is, If you have to back
out of it, or back into it.
!. People like to make fun of the
narrow streets Of downtown New
York and other old cities. But
II those streets we're planned for
horses and buggies, most of our
driveways were planned for goat
carts.
Don't feel bad about those re-
marks. because this writer has a
driveway planned by an Alpine
ski fan who was narrow
minded.)
When you pass house where
there is a driveway with a turn
around. it doesn't mean that a
timid soul lives there .1or a Sum
day driver. It means it's the
home of q life saver. You've
read news items about some one
backing over a child in q
driveway.
Now that there are so many
cars on the road, backing into a
street is a definite traffic hazard.
The automobile industry doesn't
like to talk much about this. be-
cause you are not supposed to
get frightened about adding a
new car or two to the grand
total. But a former test driver,
who later became an engineer
and then president of an auto
mobile firm, told us that he con-
siders the average home drive
way as something designed for a
four cylinder 1914 car.
