Numerous Organizations Help To Make
New School Bldg. A Community Show Place

Expressing desire to have a share
in making the new elementary school
building one of the community show
places, a number of Bluffton organ
izations have submitted checks to the
Board of Eduation in recent weeks to
provide various building or grounds
equipment.
Supt. A. B. Murray announced this
week that check for 5000 was re-
ceived from the Bluffton Parent
Teacher association. The money was
used to purchase playground equip
ment. Another check for $500 was
presented as funds raised by the
elementary students and has been
used toward the purchase of the new
in-wall tables and benches for the
all purpose room.
Bluffton Post 382, American Le-
gion, will present flag pole and an
American flag to the youth of the
community. The flag pole will be
erected at the front of the new build

Winq Doubles Size Of Home

The tiny three-rOom house (righ)
became a six-rOOm home with the
addition of a ranchstyle wing. The
total cost of the old and new sections
was less than half that of new
home of the same living area.
Dating from the early depression
years, the three-room house shown
in the "before" photograph was
bought recently by a man who saw
in it the nucleus Of modern home.
The house was in desirable sub
urban location. The new owner
figured correctly that the purchase
price of the house plus remodeling
cost would total less than half the
prie of a brand new house of COM
parable size.
Remodeling plans were drawn by
A. B. Campen, who conducts a rede-
sign service by mail from Peoria, I'LL
I A one-story wing was added, doubling
the original living space. To unity
the old and new construction, the roof
of the new wing was sloped to match
the roof of the original structure
For the same reason, the whole
structure-old and new combined
was rooted with the same attractive
color of asphalt shingles.
Vertical board siding has the effect
of making the new wing seem tallel
than it is. With the same purpose il
mind, ponderosa pine sliding windows
were chosen in a style that empha
sizes vertical lines. A warm trim
