it even higher-at $l2 billion
on the basis of Census Bureau
survey.
This estimate has been widely
taken to represent the volume Of
work of this category to be ex-
pected annually" the chamber
said in its construction publica-
ton.
Actually. the figure is prob
ably on the low side for either
1854 or 1855; and. as an estimate
of potential, it is plainly an un-
reinstatement.
For it may be recalled that,
during the five-month period
covered by the survey, 80 per
cent of the owners interviewed
did no work of any kind. SO per
cent made no repairs or replace
ments, 81 per cent made no
alterations or interior improve
ments. and only per cent made
any kind of addition to their
dwellings. Only 6 per cent had
an expenditure of $500 or more.
These figures certainly indi-
cate that. despite the discovery
that the residential moderniza-
ton market may be about twice
as large as We thought, the limit
may be far from reached.
| "A possible additional expan-
sion of Is to so per cent of the
present activity is within prob
ability. This is a challenge to
the construction industry that
should not be passed at a time
when other sectors of the con-
isCruction market may be tempo
lrarily pressing close to the limits
of increased expansion.
Theme of the big promotion
will be. "'56-the Year to Fix. /"
Its purposes. according to the
chamber, will be to:
IL. Interest more people to do
more to improve their property.

ment. Besides enliStlng the high
est administration backing, the
campaigns organizers have SO
far gained support from some Of
the Nations biggest corpora
tons. trade associations. and
others having an interest in a
high rate Of construction activ-
ity.
Principal sponsor is the United
States Chamber Of Commerce,
whose F. Stuart Fitzpatrick is
chairman of the co-ordinating
committee. Headquarters have
been set up in New York City.
The idea for the privately
sponsored program is reported to
have originated in the Housing
and Home Finance Agency. The
agency figures 1856 home con-
struction will decline a bit this
year and needs a stepped-ur
tempo in the important home
improvement field to help keer
the country's economic activity
at high level.
The idea of a campaign tC
boost home improvement was
easily sold to other agencies OF
the Government and to the big
slice of American industry de-
pendent for its well-being on q
high construction rate.
Within a short time. a re-
ported 60 big firms made con-
tributions for the conduct of the
drive, and plans were in shape
for a year-long promotion reach
ing into every city and town in
the Nation.
Maturing of this program fol-
lows belated recognition that the
home improvement business is
collectively one Of the biggest in
the country.
No one knows exactly how
much the American people spend
fixing up their homes. But the
total is estimated conservatively
at $40 billion. -

 As B stage musical "BrigadoonF won the New York Critics Circle Award and ran in New York for 581 straight performances, later repeating its success in England and Scotland. Its story, drawing a fine line between reality and fan tasy, tells of Scottish village ris- ing out of the Highland mists one day in each century and of a stran- ger who gives up the mundane world for love and the enchant- ment of the village of Brigadoon.
 The picture is said to have a wealth of catchy musical numbers. Among the songs are Heather on the Hill," From This Day On, :" "I'll Go Home With Bonnie Jean" !" Almost Like Being In Love" and "Brigadoon."

 There is said to be plenty of con fusion when O'Connor is assigned to the ladies army through the miscalculations of the Army's cleo tronic classifier, An there is still more confusion when Francis, hearing of Donald's plight, offers himself as a medical corps guinea pig.
 The comedy situations are main ly brought about by O'Connor and the mule Francis, who train the Wacs to out-maneauver male sol diers in a camouflage field test.

PLANE FLIPS OVER NO ONE INJURED

The Fish and Wildlife Service plane, N7O9, a Grammar Goose, Tipped over on its side in a take off on the emergency landing field at Sitkinak, Tuesday afternoon. Bill Harvey, pilot of the plane, was the only occupant, was uninjured.
 Harvey reported he had left Ko- diak Tuesday morning at 9:45 un- der direction of Fish and Wildlife Biologist Roy Lindsley, and had aboard Game Management Agent Jim Branson Will Troyer'and Bert Walker, of Naval Intelligence at the Naval Station. Roy Lindsley was dropped off at Lazy Bay, and the plane continued on to Sitkinak arriving there at 11:2O a. m. and making a landing on the airstrip without mishap,

A suryey was made of the air.

A survey was made of the air strip prior to fakeoff about 1 pm, and it was decided to take the pas sengers aboard from the nearby lagoon, due to the muddy condi- tion of the strip. As Harvey took off down the 2000 foot graveled runway, the left wing of his plane veered left, and the float dug into the soft mud. The plane skidded approximately 50 to 70 feet, and went over on its tail.
 The plane has since been right ed, and will be brought back by barge, possibly to Seward, thence to Seattle for repair. Harvey and all the passengers have returned to Kodiak.

The number Of plants and the

Keep Your Plans
No one plan will permanently
satisfy the gardener who is seek
ing to improve his garden and to
increase it's interest. The plan
should be kept handy so that
new ideas can be added with
each years observations. Some
plants may prove too tall and a
slight rearrangement be desired
Ito improve the balance.
Make notes so that at the
proper time the switch may be
made. Similarly If some group
of plants fails to meet the de-
sired needs they may be replaced
| But unless a note is made al
the time Of the decision 1t may
be forgotten. Plans are helpful
in many ways.
For 1856 the plan might well
provide a space for testing some
lof the new things being offered
this spring. However. they should
be tried on small scale before
discarding those that have
proven their merit over a period
of years.
j 1t is fun to try some Of the
newer kinds and varieties and Il
they can be fitted into the
scheme without upsetting the
overall harmony they will ado
interest to the new year.

They oftentimes can be saved
by stepping on them when the
ground is not frozen.
Overhaul Power Tools
1t is not too early to send the
power equipment to the shop for
overhaul or repair. They are not
too busy at this season and can
give your equipment the atten-
ton desired. If the carburetor
and fuel tanks have not already
been drained they should be to
avoid future troubles.
Observe the New Offerings
The new catalogues are most
interesting-so many new vari-
cites Of flowers. shrubs and
roses. Most every gardener will
find many plants Of interest that
he will want to try. II space does
not permit you to give them a
try it will pay to watch for some
neighboring garden where they
are tested under our conditions.
Some General Observations
This has not been an es-
mild winter and it will
undoubtedly get colder before
spring. Perhaps. 1t will give us
a good clue as TO the hardness
Of some Of the new things we
have under test. However. it is
not the cold but the condition
Of the shrubs at the time of
the freezes that does the dam
age. If the freezes are preceded
by cool weather the wood tends
to ripen and then can with
stand much lower temperatures
without injury than If a freeze
comes after a period Of warm
weather. This Is the reason why
we should not be in a hurry to
protect the more tender shrubs
and trees. Wrapping or boxing
too early keeps the wood from
maturing. w. II. Y.

Now that outside work is at a
standstill, we might we'll spend
several hours planning the 1856
garden. On paper, that is. This
should be done before ideas
formed and the lessons learned
In 1855 are forgotten. And. be-
fore the deluge Of new catalogues
sweeps us into more ambitious
gardening than space an d
strength permit.
Laying out the garden on
paper is an easy task, but 1t is
an invaluable step toward proper
perspective. 1t is the only way
to determine the kinds and vari-
cites for which there is space.
More especially. 1t takes such a
plan to sum up what will be
needed. Knowing about quanti-
ties will greatly assist us In pur-
chasing. The first step. of course,
Is the assigning of spaces to this
ior that plant or bed.
Guard Against CEowding
The sheet of cross section
paper. on which the garden is
laid out. should show the proper
spacing of the rows and the
numbers of plants in the row
Then it will be much easier later
to do the planting. because few
lean withstand the temptation
to put the tiny plants a bit closer
because they are $50 small"
! The gardener should not over
look the importance of proper
spacing if the plants are to be
cultivated. have enough air cir
Iculation and make desired
growth.
| Crowded plants tend to be
Ileggy and to have flowers only at
the top. For example the dwarf
marigolds with their spreading
habit Of growth need much more
space than the tall Africans
Neither will do its best when
spaced 10 or IL inches apart.
! The same applies to the set

It may be a bit chilly in the
garden but 1t is not too early
to start the pruning of fruit
trees, shrubs, and shade trees
whenever. the weather is mild
enough for out-of-door work
These time-consuming Jobs can
be tackled whenever the weather
permits so as to relieve the pres
sure next March and April. Be
sure to use a tree dressing on
the larger cuts on shade trees
to protect them against rot. 1t
Is cheap insurance.
Lily Of the Valley Pips
1t is not too late to buy and
start forcing the hly-of -the-val-
ley pips. They will flower in 20
to Is days. They do not have to
be put In a cool dark place for
roofing. The pips can be started
in water moss. pebbles, or in
soil. Most indoor gardeners. pre-
fer to start them in the small
pottery bowl that resembles a
strawberry jar. Keep the pips
in a warm sunny situation, add
ing water as needed to keep
them growing rapidly.
House Plant Care
House plants are beginning to
show signs of active growth so
they will need water more fire.
qucntly, and fertilizer every 2
or 3 weeks. In occasional syring-
ing with cold water is beneficial
to remove dust and to keep the
sucking insects under control.
The cold water blast is cheaper
and easier to give than some of
the potent new insecticides
sold for this purpose. However. if
Swinging is inconvenient the
aerosols sold for this purpose
may well be used.
Check Up On Supports
Whenever the weather out-of-
doors permits it is well to look
over the climbing roses and other
vines to make certain that they
are still securely tied to their
supports. Winter winds can and
do break the ties and the canes
can not only do damage to other
canes but also to painted wood
work. A few minutes time every
two or three weeks might well
prevent damage that will take
much more time to repair.
Protect Those Markers
Freezing and thawing often
times will push the plant markers
out of the ground. It Is well to
look around the garden and push
any that have been "heaved"
back into the ground. This also
applies to some Of the smaller
plants which were not well
rooted before cold weather came.
