Ask for Help 1n Improving f0te" Road

At an organiZational meeting held last Wednesday night in the homestead home of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Bud" Robinson, Mile 10312 Sterling Highway, plans were made to push efforts in obtaining improvements on road which serves 10 families in the immedi- ate area. The group named itself the Totem Road Assoc.
 First drafts of letters to Gov ernor Egan and to Lee Hubbard, secondary roads engineer, regard ing the matter were approved and signed.
 Points emphasized in the meet ing and in drafted correspondence were the number of children (19) to be served by the road, the inn possibility of the road during breakup and in the rainy season, the amount of time and money (about $2O0O-$3000) already ex-
  pended by area residents on the road to date, and the urgent need now for some help from the State.
 It was pointed out that an ade- quate road will also open up State land and that much interest has been shown by persons wishing to acquire property in the area.
 The road in question is about three miles long and is what is left of the old kasilof Trail after tn building of the Sterling High way. It is commonly called the old Tote Road, with the explanation being that anyone wishing to get anything in has to "tote' or carry it. Robinson told of having to tote" his daughter out with broken arm during one break-up All present agreed that it is time that something is done to improve it.
 Families represented at the meeting were those of Gary Bier deman, Bud Robinson, Khaki Ro- binson, Al Ulen and MT. Grue- Der, newcomer to the vicinity.
 Another meeting of the group is tentatively set for this Satur- day evening at the same location. All families in the area and other interestd persons are urged to be nreSent.

New England Flair
By DANIEL POOLE
Scr Reel Estote Editor

Although he is a native
Washin g onian, Joseph
Smith, jr., is about as avid
a New Anglophile" as you'll
find anywhere - especially
when it comes to designing
homes.
1--WE always liked anthem
tic early American architec-
ture," he says. But I par
ticularly like New England
architecture since doing some
research at the restoration in
Deerfield, Mass, where work
is being done similar to that
in williamsburg"
Because of his interest, Mr..
Smith has chosen the name
Deerfield for the 43-home
community he is building on
Seven Locks road off Brad
ley boulevard in Montgomery
County. And he is giving the
homes q distinct New Eng
land flair.
I'm many Of the exteriors
and fireplaces, I'm using rake
joints between the bricks" he
says. This is an old Colo

is not used much in present
day construction due to the
additional cost of labor and
material. However, it still
remains, as do all the other
architectural points, one of
the more classic, significant
touches of true American for
NAL design"

1863 Could
Set a Record

data from the Census Bu-
reau. The 17,349 dwelling
units, however, were down
slightly from 17,428 during
the first half Of last year.
In fact, during the first
five months of this year,
housing starts had totaled
only 14,l94, a drop of nearly
8 per cent from the 1889
for the same period during
last years record setting
pace.
A bright spot In the five
month statistics, of course,
was the 22.3 per cent in
crease in apartment con-
struction-from 1877 units
in 1862 to 8,899 this year.
But there was a 10.5 per cent
decrease In single family
housing starts, with 5,915
during the first five months
Of last year compared with
1921 this year.
One of the main reasons
for the expected increase in
this years housing activity
has been the availability of
credit-both for single-fam-
lily houses and rental units.
And, Of course, the low va
cancy rate.
Compared with q national
vacancy rate of a little more
than z per cent of the total
number Of rental units, the
Washington area is expert
encing an unusually small
average of only about is per
cent.
Statistics for apartment
buildings more than a year
old show that of 63, 502 units
in the Metropolitan Area,
only 1,011 are vacant, ac-
cording to a Joint survey
compiled by the areas prop
erty management and realtor
organizations.
The is per cent vacancy
rate breaks down into IL
per cent in Northern Vir-
ginia, with 237 units vacant
out of 1926; a 1.3 per cent
rate in nearby Maryland,
with 1876 vacancies among
9,657 units, and a 2 per cent
rate in the District, with $40
units vacant out of $3.50.
Such q low vacancy rate in
the Washington area has
helped to keep apartment
construction booming, even
though single-family hous-
ing has Stacked off some
what.
And nationally, Mr.. Chris
tie says: Altogether, 1868, is
turning out to be a some
what better year than antici-
pated, and it's mostly the
bouyant housing m arket
that's responsible"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-07-27

This year probably will end
up setting a national record
for residential construction
after all.
The experts are becoming
increasingly optimistic about
the industry's performance
despite last years gloomy
predictions when President
Kennedy issued his anti
discrimination order.
In the Washington area.
residential construction per-
mits have increased IA per
cent during the first six
months of the year, spurred
by the apartment boom with
an average vacancy rate of
only is per cent.
Nationally, q. mid-year re-
view by the F. w. Dodge
Corp, which specializes in
construction news and mar
keting analysis, predicts that
housing starts will total more
than LIS million during 1868,
with apartment units ac-
counting for IS per cent Of
the total.
IN contract value, this
amounts to a whopping $19
billion, a national gain Of
So per cent over last years
record volume of slightly
more than $18 billion for
private, non-farm residential
building.
BODYBUILDING certainly
exceeded expectations during
the first half (of 1862 as
the demand for rental units
continued unchecked" says
George A. Christie, senior
economist for the Dodge
Corp.
Through May, contracts
for apartments led 1862 by
no less than II per cent, with
the Western and Southwest
ern regions s wing the
greatest gains" he says. I'm
spite of the high rate of
building, these new apart
ments have been taken up
quickly as shown by the de-
cline in the rental vacancy
rate during the first quarter"
In the Washington area,
there were 1886 housing
starts last year, representing
a $3.50 million valuation. OF
these starts, 1898 were sin
gle-family houses and "a, 403
were apartment units-the
areas best record in II years
and fully one third ahead
Of 1861.
This year, helped by a big
squirt in June, residential per-
mits for the first six months
rose to nearly $3.50 million. a
gain Of IA per cent over the
$167.5 million for the same
period last year, according to

or columns that projected
from the structural framing
Of the building were not cut
off. but were carved In q
classic or decorative manner,
giving the effect we use"
Mr.. Smith also wanted
some unusual paneling for
family rooms. A friend had
just bought a pre-Revolu-
tionary farm in Frederick,
Md, on which two old barns
were to be torn down. Mr..
Smith quickly offered to do
the job in order to salvage
the material.
He has used other tech
niques to make Deerfield
something different, such as
a topographic map which
shows each contour Of the
30-acre tract and locates
every major tree. This en-
ables him to site the houses
to their best advantage
among the trees.
But Mr.. Smith is proudest
of those New England
touches.

true for white still wines.
Regarding red wines, Gallo DOmi-
nique D'Ermo, food and beverage
manager for the Shoreham Hotel, says,
Room temperature here in America
is what you call a misnomer, for the
rooms are too heated in winter, too
warm in summer.
THE correct temperature for the
storage of red wines is 60 to 81 degrees
Farenheit," he says, land they should
be stored on their sides, also the
whites, In wine rack in the coolest,
driest place in your house. If you are
serving a red wine pull the cork an
hour, perhaps two hours, before serv-
ing, and either place it upright or in a
straw wine basket"
The best wine glass is an all-pur-
pose six-eight ounce size, thin and
clear. II should be a well.rounded
goblet type which narrows slightly at
the top. The popular small, approx
mately four-ounce one is absolutely
wrong Use it as a tooth brush glass
only.
It is wise not to drink martins or
whiskey before eating a meal where
one or two wines are to be served. In
stead, drink a dry French or bitter
Italian vermouth with a twist of lemon
peel plus a dash of soda water and
some ice. If that doesn't appeal, try a
dry sherry. Stick to them and you not
only will better enjoy the meal, but
won't end up with an upset stomach
or hangover.
