kenai Chamber Adopts 'Figure g Road Plan

Highway toward the Alaska Range, says James E. Fisher, Chamber president.
 "Implementation of the propos- ed plan would immensely assist existing communities and could very possibly be the catalytic force which would prompt devel- opment of the entire area," att torney Fisher observed.
 "The proposed highway would require very little accommodation of the present system and would really be a logical extension of the existing primary highways system on the Kenai Peninsula and connecting the Peninsula to Anchorage" he added.
 The program recommended to the membership of the Kenai Chamber of Commerce after thor ough discussion by the Board of

wasted space, next to the wall
under the steeply- pitched cell

mounted on casters. Thus they
could be pushed back under the

Rolling toy storage bins also

look at what some others have
done in similar situations. Here
are some samples of families
who solved their space prob
lens through remodeling.
Attic Finished
One family, with a postwar
two-bedroom home, discovered
that the attic helped solve their
problem. It's 325 square feet
was being used as a catch-all
for unwanted Junk: the kind
that most families collect.
The family consulted with an
architect to determine how the
space should be divided. The
architect resisted the impulse
to "honeycomb" the space with
a series of cubicles. Instead, he
made one basic division of the
attic space: one end for the
parents, the other for the two
girls.
A large plywood wardrobe
storage unit separated the
spaces. In addition to acting as
a divider with storage space,
the unit also contained fold

Make Concrete
improvements

Add low concrete retaining
walls or curbs to your yard for
a trim appearance. The curb
can be finished round or flat on
top.
If you do not have a walk
from your door to the driveway
or street, now is good time to
add one. A walk to the inciner-
ator, clothes line and garden
are convenient and will add to
the beauty of your home as
well.
You might make concrete
flagstone or stepping stone
walks instead of the usual
solid path for a different look.
It's easy to work with con-
crete. Only ordinary tools are
needed.

A family that is content
with its neighborhood - has
children in school and except
for its space shortage, is sat
isfied with the house, is not
likely to want to change
dwellings. What, then, does
this family do to find that
needed extra space right at
home?
Look for Space
It's obvious that you make
space" if it doesn't exist. Cen
orally, any home can be ex-
pandable when skillfully remod-
eled. For instance, unusual at
tics and Easements can be con-
verified into useful living space.
Kitchens, bathrooms and other
areas can be re-arranged to be
more efficient within existing
space. Where the lot size and
shape permit. it, adding on a
room may solve the space
problem.

ure out what you can do is to

strengthening, particularly,
is important, especially when
planning various remodeling
and repair jobs around the
house.
Home storage areas probably
have collected many waste ma
terials during the win e r
months. These are unsightly
and are fire hazards which
should be removed from the
home and disposed of immedi-
ately.
A good procedure to follow in
cleaning out storage areas is
to work in one room at a time.
Clear it of old newspapers,
magazines, wOrn-Out clothing,
unwanted furniture and the
countless other items that col
lect in home. Carry these ma
terials outside and burn or
leave them for the refuse col
lectOr.
In burning materials outside
the home, remember that trash
fires themselves may constitute
fire hazards if not kept under
control.
One way to control trash
fires is to use galvanized steel
rubbish burners. These con.
tanners have close.fitting COW
ers which keep dangerous
sparks from flying.
If 1t isn't possible or prac.
teal to burn trash, put it in
covered galvanized steel ash
or garbage cans.
While filling family garbage
containers, it might be a good
idea to inspect them for fire
safety. If they are made of
flammable material or don't
have close-fitting covers or side
handles, replace them.
AS trash removal is taking
place, carry a small notebook
in which to mark down places
and fixtures in the home that
are in need of repair.
Take care of as many of
them as possible in spare time
now and fit the rest into the
spring and summ er work
schedule.

AS a day-to-day reminder of
the Importance of repair and
remodeling activity, 1868 has
been officially designated as a
special "Home Improvement
Year."
President John F. Kennedy
endorsed the year-long event in
a telegram to the Council Board
of Directors.
There is real merit in an in
dustry-wide drive which en-
courages Americans to remodel
and improve their homes" the
President said. "Such a pro-
gram also helps in the mainte-
nance and enhancement of COM
munity life throughout the ma
ton.
There are few domestic
matters of more importance
than the preservation of the
$500 billion worth of property
in this country, the stabiliza-
ton of real estate values and
the economic stimulus that re-

tiles, and industry working to-
gether to achieve these goals"

Room Sharing
Can Be Eased
For Children

Allowing each child in a fam
lily to have a room of his or her
own is a luxury that few fam
lilies can afford. Teaching chill
dren how to share a room with
out conflicts, therefore, is a
project many families have to
face.
The atmosphere of the room
is often considered the vital in
gredient in successful sharing.
A stark, bare room which shows
no planning, is an invitation to
disorder. A well-planned room
is one in which each child feels
comfortable and "at home"
According to remodeling
authorities at Allied Chemicals
Barrett building materials divi-
sion, one of the most common
sources of friction among young
sters is noise that one makes
when the other wants quiet for
studying or reading.
Fiberboard ceiling tile can be
a simple solution. The new cell
ing tiles are decorative also,
helping to create a warm,
friendly atmosphere.
Barrett experts also suggest
that each child be given a desk
of his own, and sufficient stor.
age space.
1t is fairly simple matter to
build in extra closet space using
gypsum wallboards. That way,
there can be no question of one
child encroaching on the stor.
age space of the other.
1t is also a good idea to allow
the children, especially if they
are girls, to participate in the
decoration of the room.
If space is tight, double hunks
offer a convenient solution and
are generally easily accepted
by children. Each family will
have its own way of deciding
who gets the upper or lower
berth, but whatever method is
used, both children should agree
to the arrangement or it will
become a source of conflict.
