Outdoor Living

very much a part Of the
up with fusSy shrubs and
dwarf fruit trees spotted at
house itself. 1t is a place to
be lived in.
So the garden which ends
random around the backyard
is almost useless. It plugs
the flow Of traffic and crowds
the disable space! Planting
should be planned to permit
family activity.
The homeowner should also
take into account the slope
Of his lot. the location Of the
house on the grounds and
how much shade-if any
he has from trees growing
nearby. You can't expect
sun-loving plants, for in
stance, to grow in shade.
And shrubs and plants
should be placed to show of
the house to the best adj
vantage. Don't try to hide
your house from the front
with shrubs that will even
tually form a jungle growth.
However, make full use of
fast-growing hedges where
you want to provide an area
screened from public view.
If you feel too inexperi-
enced to plan the garden lay
out yourself, ask the advice
of a reliable nurSeryman, or
even get a landscape archi-
tect to plan the garden for
you.
Normally, such advice isn't
too costly. 1t can pay major
dividends in enjoyment Of
the garden.
The end result Of trying to
dress up your house beyond
what the builder may already
have done is to provide more
enjoyment of your home and
enhance the investment you
have in it.

Dividing
One Room
Into Two?
BY DOUGLAS TUoMEY
Contributing Writer

1t is not unusual for a
homeowner to find that a
certain room in his house
would offer two rooms If
properly divided.
This may apply to a combi-
nation living-dining room or
to a large children's room.
It might also apply to an un-
usually large living room
which the owner would like to
divide into a television room
and q smaller sitting room.
In many cases it applies to
the basement, where it is de-
sired to wall of the heating
plant.
In any case, a substantial
partition, built according to
the correct procedure, will be
found better than any kind
Of curtain or f1imsy room di-
wider. Any good home me-
chanic can do the job.
The first step is to lay a
two by four on the floor and
nail it in place after cutting
out the proper width for the
door opening. A double sill
also may be used, but is not
essential.
The second step is to cut
two by tours of proper length
to reach the ceiling, after
allowing for a doubled two
by four.
The best procedure is to sit
in the uprights for both sides
of the door and the two up
rights or studs at the ends Of
the partition. Then set in the
others on 16-inch centers or
as close as the width permits
in that measurement.
It should be noted that
close and accurate measure
ments which allow the up
rights to be driven in tight
between floor and ceiling
horizontals, make for a
sturdy job.
The faces of the partition
can be covered with sheet
rock. wallboard of any type
or plastered over rock-lath.
The choice depends upon
how much you want to spend
on the alteration or how pro-
fessional you want the job to
be.

ACCRED EDITATION, The
Struggle Over Standards in
Higher Education. BY Will
liam K. Selden (Harper &
Brothers; $2.50D
The question of standards
in today'S intensely compete
tive world is a most impor-
tant one. This is especially
true in education. where the
years devoted to building up
knowledge and intellectual
training in an individual will
play a major role in deter
mining his eventual place in
society.
Since college and graduate
degrees are so basic to the
future career of aspiring
young people, an UNDER
standing of how accrediting
developed in these fields is
valuable. People generally
know today that attending a
nonaccredited institution is
almost a waste of time, for
since its degrees are not rec
ognized the student is handi-
capped in advancing in his
area of work.
DR.. Selden in his readable
little volume has traced the
course Of accreditation in
higher education, showing
the need for it and its de-
velopment. He furnishes a
useful definition of accredi-
tation. "Accrediting is the
process whereby an organiza =
ton or agency recognizes a
college or university or a pro-
gram of study as having met
certain predetermined quail
ifications or standards"
With the population explo-
sion spilling over into the
colleges during this decade,

suits worse than on any

But somehow, with made
quate equipment and some
times shattered water mains,
the thousands of firefighters
fought the flames, and the
f1rst-aid teams removed the
dead and helped the injured.
Somehow, the city survived.

Journalist, has told the story
through the recollections of
scores who went through that
night-men in the high COM
mand, ordinary soldiers and

teen-age boys.
1t adds up to a beautifully
organized and superbly writ

The Most Devastating

story of the most devas-

by incendiary and explosive

1t was a brilliantly moon

wouldn't dare attack on such
a night. But they did, in tre-

even the Hollywood dopes

Gold in the Taverns
In Fools Gold" Ned Jor-
dan has recalled two years
(1899-l900) when q gold
strike had pushed Nome from
a scraggly hamlet on the Ber-
ing Strait to a sizable town.
He was a gambler by profess
sion. and when he went North
from San Francisco he had
sense enough to realize that
the only sure way of finding
gold was to go into business
He knew the men who rushed
into such frontiers were a
thirsty lot and that they
liked to gamble. He did very
well.
Mr.. Jordan recalls that
most games in Alaska were
straight. Crooked gamblers
had to watch their steps, for
prospectorS and hangers on
usually were armed. A good
poker player. the author
points out, does not have TO
cheat - he can beat ordi-
nary players honestly.
This oldtimer debates some
romantic notions Of the gold
rush. A lot of fortune seek
ers never hit the wintry trail
behind dog sleds-it took
seasoned hardy men for
that-but waited out the 40
below weather in saloons or
fiimsy hotels. Most OF the
ladies" who went North
then were no better than
they should be, but he knew
only one or two who married
well and founded leading
Alaskan families.
Mr.. Jordan's recollections
are salty and highly spiced.

All the while, he was un-

there is affection, too. Mr..
