BARELTHER You cfln open the heart of your house to the sunshine and the stars when you build around an indoor patio as shown in this smartly economical design, T-601 for The House of The Week. The central patio of this house provides complete privacy for sun bathing, barbecue picnics and care free relaxation. It makes this an ideal home for the city dweller, whose need for privacy is greater than the suburbanite's and whose building site may be more limited ui size. Yet this house could be adapted easily to a scenic rural site merely by relocating the carport to open that side of the patio toward the view. In the present arrangement the outer brick wall of the carport effectively screens the patio. When the car is out, the carport becomes a covered porch separated from the Do You Need An Extra CHECK THESE POINTS ? I)o "baths for all" mean long delays? ? Is morning traffic always a problem? ?

Sliding glass walls open onto the patio from living room and from master bedroom. There is a fireplace on the patio and another in the living room. High studio ceilings are provided in the living room, front entrance hall and dining room by extending these room heights up to the raft ers. Added privacy from street views is obtained by devoting vir tually the entire shallow gable end in front to high windows. These windows start above your head at | about 8 feet from the floor and ex tend to the roof line. Peterson & Ebbert, Detroit ar chitects and engineers, have given this house a smart facade. The high brick, wall in front is capped with ledge stone and is extended out beyond the dining room on the left where it serves as a high planting box. The front door is flanked by a floor-to-ceiling window. The few places under the roof not occupied by high windows arc filled in with striated plywood. Room arrangement is especially convenient in this house. The entry hall offers access to all parts of the house and makes every room a dead end room thus eliminating annoyances of passage through rooms. The three bedrooms are secluded in the rear, where standard size windows arc set in an outer wall of striated plywood above a brick veneer base. A large hobby and storage room is located back of the corport. A back door in this room opens to the rear garden. A lavatory opens both from the hobby room and from the master bedroom. Con taining a shower stall, this lava tory is handy for cleaning up af ter gardening or a day at the beach. It also provides a small private bathroom for the master bedroom. A guest wrap closet in the hall near the front entrance is sur mounted by an indoor planting box under the ridge of the roof. On the living room side of this closet is a built-in for books with four sliding glass doors on its up per portion and flush wood doors on the cabinets below. A storage wall, separating the hall from the patio, is lighted by a row of high windows above a i large panel of striated plywood which forms the inner wall of the patio. The kitchen is handy to the front door as well as to the carport across the patio. Laundry facilities are located in the utility room ad joining the kitchen. The utility room has a sliding door.

No basement is required. The ar chitects suggest construction on a concrete slab with 12-inch poured concrete foundation walls. Lath and plaster is recommended for all interior walls, although suitable dry wall construction would be accept able. Ceramic tile and acid resisting fixtures are among specifications for both bathrooms. The exterior of brick veneer is laid up on building felt and insulat ing sheathing for weathcrproofing. Three eoats of paint are called for on all exposed wood surfaces outside with two coats for interior decoration. Inner walls should be sealed before wallpapering. Clear lacquer is used on the striated ply wood. Patio pavement is pitched and drained for rainy weather. This floor can be varicolored flagstones laid in concrete, red quarry tile or plain concrete to match the car port. Facts to Know Statistics to help in obtaining rough building estimates for De sign T-601 include the following: The house covers 1,587 square feet exclusive of patio and car port. The patio comprises ap proximately 284 square feet and the carport adds 288 square feet. The house contains 15,611 cu bic feet. Points to Watch In Buying Land Location and setting are vital assets to a home. A site too near to city centers may prove too ex pensive, too crowded. Remote ru ral locations have their drawbacks, as well. You'll want water and utility lines, fire and police protection, neighbors and friends in emer gencies, convenient schools, churches, stores. A happy compromise is callcd - for. And shade trees are valuable for a setting. It takes years to grow good sized trees. Persuade your builder to spare as many trees as possible. Wide houses need wide lots. Check your local zoning author ities to determine the distance you must keep between your house and | the side boundaries of your site.

LANG NAILS DO . . . remember that, while some fastening methods have de cided advantages over nailing, none of them surpasses it in han dling ease and economy. DO ... get maximum strength, when nailing two pieces of wood together, by having more of the nail in the second or under piece of wood. DO . . . use common nails for gen eral construction work, box nails for light construction, finishing nails and brads when they are to be driven below the surface, cas ing nails for interior trim and cut nails for tough, heavy-duty Jobs. DO . . . select other types of nails for special purpoaes, remember ing that there arc nails specifically made for use in floors, gypsum board, hardboard, wood shingles, asphalt roofing and practically anything else in the building line DO . . . keep your eyes focused on the nail when hammering, using several blows of moderate force rather than a couple of blows of heavy force. DONT ... forget that, when us ing wood inclined to split easily, blunt the nail points slightly with a hammer and drill pilot holes about half the thickness of the nails. DONT ... try to straighten out a nail that bends While being driv en into softwood; remove it and use a new nail. DONT . . . necessarily remove a nail that bcnd? while being driven into hardwood; it may be easier to straighten with a pliers and con tinue hammering carefully. DONT . . . overlook the possibil ity, when working in confined quarters, of starting a nail in a piece of wood by striking it with the flat part of the hammer head rather than the face. Kansas Drought Proves Bane to Wild Coyotes Manhattan, Kan. (AP)? Kansas' protracted drought is proving a banc not only for the Wheat State's farmers, but also for the farmers' foes, the coyotes. H.
