For Colonial homes there are
ponderosa pine interior and ex-
terror doors and complete en-
tranceways copied exactly from
those in authentic Early Amer
lean homes. Others are designed
to be correct with modern arch
itecture. There also are many
styles of Dutch doors to blend
with various house designs.
Double hung, easement, and
bow windows of wood often are
chosen to harmonic with tradi-
tional architecture. Removable
grilles in horizontal, rectangu-
lar, or diamond shapes are avail
able to customize windows to;
any style home, and to simplify,
window washing. Easement, slid
ing, awning and hopper win-t
dows, and fixed sash are most,
often used with contemporary
architecture.
Other units of ponderosa pine
that add graciousness to a new.

There are tens of thousands Of
Anthonys and Cathys and Carols
in the United States today. One
reason The National Founda-
tion-March of Dimes turned to
these diseases three years ago
is that almost 700 babies are
born each day in this country
with significant birth defects,
accounting for more than 21,-
900 deaths each year. Gripping
rheumatoid arthritis affects 3O,-
600 children and adolescents--
apart from the overall toll OF
II million American victims OF
rheumatic diseases.
An increasing number OF suf-
ferers from these two cruel
handicaps are receiving treat
ment from the specialist
"teams" at March Of Dimes
financed chapter clinics. As
more funds become available,
additional centers will be es-
tablished to provide medical
care for even more victims OF
chronic crippling disease.

March Of Dimes Helps Dry Youngsters Tears Of Pain
Anthony Ryan wasn't nor.

Anthony Ryan wasn't nor
mally a crybaby. But at 10
months he began crying
almost necessarily, and at
times even screamed.
His loving parents in Phila-
delphia were nearly out OF
their minds. With four other
small children, the household
was pandemonium. No one ap-
peared to know precisely what
was causing the infants dread
full paroxysms of pain.
Eight months and countless
tears later, the cause of An
thongs agony was at last dag
nosed as rheumatoid arthritis,
seemingly affecting every area
of his tiny body. .
It's II years now SINCE An
thony was stricken. He will
limp the rest of his life; he
cannot play baseball today
with the other boys in the
block, and he is still in a great
deal of pain. AS a matter of
fact, until just short time ago
he couldn't even turn his head.
Science has not yet licked the
problem of Anthony and of
thousands of children like him.
There is still no simple, accu-
rate test for the early diagnosis
of rhc natoid arthritis, al
though e outlook is hopeful.
But many rheumatologists
would agree today that had
modern diagnostic tools been
available to him, and had An
thony been examined immedi-
ately by a steam" Of specialists

fessions-the group Of ortho-

Graciousness is an important
quality in home designs today.
The stark, modern look that
swept in on the heels of war

comfort and often more f1imsy
than functional.
The increased use Of wood in
contemporary homes typifies the
change. Builders have found that
most prospective home buyers

place, a family room, and a
wood-paneled room. Wood win
dows and doors are being used
more and more in new homes,
whether traditional or modern,
to add a gracious appearance
while giving top performance.
Stock doors and windows of
ponderosa pine come in a wide
variety of styles and sizes, ready
to be painted, stained, or var
.nished, and installed. Some go
particularly well with Colonial
or traditional architecture, others
are ideal in homes of contem-
porary design. All are careful
ly constructed and chemically
treated to last indefinitely.

vEPCO TO LEAD IN
CONSTRUCTION OF A

Heavy-Dub Line Beginning in
West Va. to Feed Central

The first 500,O0O-volt transmits
sion system in the free world will
be constructed by the Virginia
Electric and Power Company.
A. 81. Mcdowell, Jr., Vepco Presi-
dent, said engineering and survey

viii bring more than 100000 kilo-
watts into northern and central
Virginia from the Mine Mouth pow
er Station Vepco is building near
Petersburg, West Virginia.
One line will extend from the
power station to the outskirts OF
the Washington area, and another
tine will extend from the power
station to the taunton-Waynes-
boro area. This part of the nigh
voltage system will be completed in
1864. Before the second unit at the
power station is placed in opera
ton early in 1866, both Of these
500, O,OOO-volt transmission lines will
be extended to the outskirts OF
Richmond, forming loop some $50
miles in length.
This extra high voltage trans
mission system will make possible
the installation in the Mine Mouth
Power Station of generating units
with capacity of over one-half
1aillion kilowatts each. These will
be two and one-half times as large
as 40 largest units now being
installed by Vepco. They also will
make possible extra high voltage,
high capacity interconnections with
neighboring utilities.
These large generating units and
the extra high voltage transmission
of power to the load areas will
offset substantially the steadily
rising cost Of generating power.
The Pennsylvania Electric Com
pany now has in operation at 5OO,-
900 volts a short line originally con-
structed for experimental purposes.
However, Vepco's 350-mile system,
50 far as is known, will be the first
complete transmission system in
the free world to operate at 50O,-
0OO' volts. The Russians say they
are now operating Transmission
line at this voltage, but little is
known of the results they are OBJ
tanning.

WHEELING

Three decades ago if motorist
ventured abroad at all after sun
down he hung kerosene lanterns
on his vehicle. The lamps were
mounted to let other drivers know
he was coming; they did little to
show where cars were going.
Primitive lighting of this sort
held sway until 1903 when the first
revolution in auto lighting was in
troduced. This was the self-con-
tanned carbide gas lamp equipped
with a fender mounted tank that
furnished fuel. They were con-
sidered some improvement over
kerosene lamps, but were still
messy and dangerous.
Acetylene lamps were developed
the following year. They combined
with the carbide burners to domi-
nate the auto lighting field from
1905 to 1911. The beams produced
were extremely brilliant and gave
early drivers their first real taste
of after dark mobility. But new
problem arose-how to avoid blind
ing oncoming drivers, an issue still
around today although not because
of technical shortcoming. Efficient
headlight dimming had to wait de-
velopment of electric headlamps
