 I955-56 Presented

On behalf of the Palmer Inde- pendent School District board members, William Zahradnicek presented the budget of propos- ed expenditures for the school year 1955-56 to members of the city council on May 3. The total budget was $449,437 with $329,- 498 of this amount to come from estimated Territorial and Fed eral receipts. The balance, $119,- 939 would be realized from local contribution.

City Council Notes

James Hurley, Colony Day chairman, approached members of the City Council at the May 3 Council meeting, for coopera- ton in the creation of a park in the triangle near the Palmer Drug store. Hurley stated the ARRC would like to turn the land over to the city for a small park. The idea primarily, he said is a beautiflying proposition The piece of land is approximately 300 feet long, running between Valley and Railroad streets, from the drug store to the front of Grasser's Hardware.
 Following a discussion period council members appropriated $250 to assist in the project, and approved the use of city person nel and equipment in helping create the park area. Hurley agreed to supervise the work which will consist of raising the triangle area to grade; filling; adding top soil; seeding; and fencing. When completed the park will contain either a granite boulder or a concrete pillar upon which will be affixed a memorial plaque honoring the settlers of the Matanuska Valley, which the ARRC has purchased for this pur- pose. Hurley suggested that at

An Artists Dream Come True
F. YOU DRIVE along North

TF YOU DRIVE along North
i Arlington's Glebe road. you'll
pass within the proverbial
stones throw of the house that
Jim built. But you won't be
able to see it. If you turn down
North Dittmar road, you're apt
to go right by the narrow road
way marked Private" That
roadway leads to the Nc
Laughlin home-or, to be more
precise, studio. Set on a wooded
rise, secluded from Arlington's
constant stream of traffic, it is
still only a 15-minute drive
from the heart of Washington.
When Jim Mclaughlin chose
the three acres that would sur
round his studio home, they
had to meet two definite speci-
fications: Afford ample privacy
for creative painting and yet
be convenient to the District.
Mr.. Mclaughlin is on the cura-
torial staff of the Phillips Art
Gallery and often may be called
upon to work week ends. He is
also one of Washington's out
standing painters, and his can
vases have been exhibited in
every local gallery.
The idea for the studio was
born when Mr.. Mclaughlin
was discharged from the Army
after serving in the Pacific
theater during World War II.
He had dreamed about it for
years. and now with the wars
end. he was going to turn that
dream into reality. First,
however. came the practically
of blueprints. and he sought
the help of Henry Klumb, an
architect who had studied with
Frank Lloyd Wright. Mr.. Nc
Laughlin found he could afford

place weighs 400 pounds.
This was a monumental job,
literally. 1t took a year and a
half to build. MFR. Mclaughlin
would get up at 4 am. to work
on the studio, then go to his
Office at the Phillips Gallery.
During the summer, he would
leave the gallery at 6 pm. and
work on the studio until late
at night.

have a contractor build his
home and his studio was far
beyond his means. There was
only one solution: He was going
to have to build the studio
himself.
OF course. people have built
their own homes before this.
But If you ever get to see the
Mclaughlin studio. you will
shake your head in amazement
and wonder. It Is built of

especially in trying to lay con-
crete before it would freeze.
He recalls, with a smile now,
the time he ordered concrete
from a builders supply plant.
The truck came halfway up the
slippery road and couldn't
make the rest of the grade.
He went to work to build a
better roadbed and called the
cement people again. The
truck struggled up the road
and again gave up. That de-
cided him: He went out and
bought his own mixer!
He never had more than one
helper. He used a jeep to
bring the stone from Clifton
Station. He did every bit of
the work except the plumbing
and electricity. He would have
done that, too, only the Vir-
ginia laws require a licensed
plumber and electrician. The
laws also require inspection of
the blueprints. and he can look
back. with some amusement

studio that couldn't be built!
It was built, and by Mr.. Nc
Laughlin's own powerful hands.
It is a tremendously spacious
studio which, as he puts it,
gives you a sense of freedom"
The stone adds a feeling Of
strength. Part of the studio
has been partitioned for a
modern kitchen. an alcove for
dining and a bathroom. The
north light is magnificent for
painting. Yes, the house that
Jim built Is a dream come
true.
