A living room at the rear OF
the house has many things to
recommend it. The modern
ranch-type dwelling offered to-
day is an excellent example Of
this form of design.
First and foremost, it offers
the best guarantee of privacy
and insurance against disturb
ance by street noises. 1t also pro-
videS isolation from any confu-
sion that might arise from other
activities within the house it
self.
There are many fine features
about the big spacious living
room in THE Athens" There is
a big rear window wall that vir-
tually opens the room to the
outdoor scene. 1t has an end
wall fireplace, tlanked by built
in combination bookcases and
log storage units. Decorator
shelving enhances the entry
from the main hall.
Many choices for furniture
grouping are available in a room
such as this, all of which will
f1t well into a general scheme
that includes dining area at
the end next to the kitchen.
Kitchen Is ROOmy
The dining area is where the
more formal meals will be served.
But for family affairs, the corner
nook in the large kitchen will
undoubtedly be the favored spot.
The Kitchens main work area,
including the sink counter and
cabinet space and refrigerator
occupies a straight line across
the front wall, with a double
sash window to provide ample
natural light and ventilation.
The work unit continues in a L
shape, with room for a built-in
cooking surface or an adjoining
range.
The architects were careful
to avoid any awkwardness in
relation to traffic through the
house by the inclusion of a hall
like foyer that, while providing
access to it. completely bypasses
the kitchen.
The foyer has guest closet
which is part of a pattern of
excellent storage space through
out the house. There is another
closet adjoining the guest closet
opening on the hall that leads
to the sleeping area. There are

Planning
| ToWieIdu


Here are a few dos anc
don't's" to keep in mind wher
using hackSaw:
DO-be certain in placing q
hacksaw blade in the frame that
the teeth point away from the
handle.
DO--use blades with IA or 1e
teeth per inch for cutting hard
metal of fairly thick stock, those
with "a and 80 teeth per inch for
light tubing and sheet metal.
DO-always have the metal
in the wise so that the line being
cut is fairly close to the wise jaws
and always file notch in the
metal as starting point.
DO-bear in mind that a hack
saw cuts only on the forward
stroke, therefore release your
pressure as you bring the blade
back.
DON'T-try to resharpen q
hacksaw blade, since it cannot
be done satisfactorily; always
keep extra blades on hand tc
replace dull and broken ones.
DON'T-try to save money BY
buying cheap blades, a good one
that costs only a little more will
give far better service and last
much longer.
DON'T-try to chop your way
through the metal. Use a long
sweeping stroke. with the blade
in a straight line on the stock
DON'T-overlook a trick usec
by professionals to determine
whether the proper tension is
present. Pluck the blade lightly
after setting 1t in place. A slight
hum means the blade has the
correct tension.

All Non-profit
Organizations
Must Gel Tax

It has come to the attention Of
the Department of Taxation that
in many instances it is the opin-
ion of certain non-profit organ
izations, such as PTA, grange
and fraternal groups, as well as
certain women's clubs, sororities,
various religious and charitable
rganizations, and auxiliaries,
they are not required to collect
sales tax on sales.
Apparently they are of this
opinion on account of being nom
profit or are raising funds for
charitable or religious purposes.
Sales, other than casual or
isolated sales by charitable or
religious organizations, are sub
ject to the tax and such organ
izations shall procure a vendors
license and collect the tax on
all sales in the same manner as
other vendors of tangible per-
sonal property.

Noble County
Aliens Must
Register Soon

District Director John M.
Lehman of the immigration and
Naturalization service stated that
the annual alien address report
program usually causes a sharp
rise in the number of applica-
tions for naturalization.
The law requires all aliens in
the United States and Noble
county with few exceptions, to
report their address each JAN
uary. Throughout the United
States, almost thirty percent
more applications for naturaGza-
ton are received during the
months of January, February
and March than are received dur
ing other months. Mr.. Lehman
attributes this sudden rise to the
alien address report program.
Aliens not required to make
this report are diplomats, those
accredited to certain interna-
tional organizations and those
who have entered temporarily as
agricultural laborers.
Forms for making the reports
will be available to aliens at all
post offices and offices of the
immigration and Naturalization
service during the month of
January.
