Here's How to Build
Attractive Picket Fence

,strain on the fence than they
do on their consciences, so
make the fence strong enough
to stand the load. If you use q
standard type posthole digger,
you will have ample space
around the fence post for the
concrete. Be sure that you have
as much concrete beneath the
post as you have on the sides.
A few large stones or pieces Of
broken concrete blocks can be
placed around the post to con-
serve on concrete, but don't
overdo it. Bring the concrete
up slightly above ground level
and slope it away from the
posts.
The curve followed by the
tops of a scallop top picket
fence is konwn as a catenary.
1t is the shape that would be
obtained by stretching a rope
between the tallest pickets.
You will see that there is little
difference between the lengths
Of the shorter pickets and that
this difference increases as the
picketS become longer.
The economy picket fence
will probably attract youngsters
rather than chase them away,
but it is very attractive as a
flower background and is in
expensive to build. The posts
and top and bottom stringers
can be made of 2-by-4s. The
center stringer and the pickets
are made of 1-by-2-inch fur
ring strips which should cost
about two cents a foot.
One more thing. We do not
exactly go along with a neigh
Dor who, last fall, put an entire
fence together with brass wood
screws. But by all means use
galvanized nails for the entire
Job.

and gold predominating. varie-
ty Of texture is emphasized
rather than color-contrast or

Nubbed silk upholstery, grass
cloth wall-covering, and a lux
uriously thick loop textured
carpet set the stage for the
serenely beautiful living room
illustrated. 1t is planned as a
background for gracious enter
tanning.
Materials were selected for
the room that could endure
much visiting. meals served
lap-fashion. and frequent eve
nings of TV viewing or bridge.
In choosing the wan-to-wall
carpeting, easy maintenance,
rugged wearing qualities and
soil-resistance were primary
considerations. This is why a
fibre carpet was selected. This
deeply -textured carpet with a
home-Spun effect-equally at
home in contemporary or pro-
vincial interiors has been
used here in a rich shade of
gold. 1t blends with the gray
upholstery fabrics, white and
gold curtains. brass lamps and
accessories, gray-marble topped
tables and the charcoal grass
cloth that covers one wall.
Sharp red and orange add their
brilliant accents via toss pill
lows and the bamboo pattern
on the grass cloth.
Tested for a two-year period
in many public places, these
new carpet fibers have with
stood the extreme trial of con-
slant traffic in all kinds of

ECONOMY RIckcI FENCE
BY HERMAN BAUM

"Our neighbours children use
our flower borders for q race
track, so we are being forced
to build a fence to keep them
out. What type of fence would
you suggest?" Mrs. o. v. T.
Answer - Let's be practical
about this. If those youngsters
run true to form, they can
climb like squirrels and no de-
sign less fmpenetrable than the
one around the state peniten-
tiary Including the armed
guards, naturally will keep
them out.
What you need is q nice
picket fence. The knowledge
that he stands a good chance Of
becoming impaled by the seat
Of his britches is a strong de-
terrent. A well designed fence
Is necessary as a background
for flower beds, so this one will
serve a dual purpose.
In building the fence, if you
use the standardized dimen-
sions illustrated, you will save
on material and labor. The i'm
portant thing in construction,
however. is to properly pro-
tect the lumber so as to obtain
maximum life from it. The A.
by-4 posts, especially. should
be Of lumber that has been
pressure impregnated with
penachlorophenol or one of the
copper preservatives. These will
have exceptionally long life and
can be painted, whereas creo-
soted posts cannot be painted
unless the creosote is sealed
off. Should the price of the
treated lumber cause budget
troubles. you must at least, give
all the lumber several soaking
coats Of one of these preserva-
kiyeS.

Always, he goes to the heart OF

talking about. If his advice had been
