Miracle Devices Make Home
Easy, Convenient to Live In
Two brick www pawls add Interest to the exterior and lend solidity to the house. The left panel, fronting the bedroom wing,
pxtradi and thickens hevnnH the #>nd of th* Kami^
By JOIIN O. B. WALLACE
If it's been invented for the
home, this miracle ranch bouse has
it! The ulU modern devices built
into it range from single lever
water controls to a self-operating
garage door which opens and
closes electronically.
Designed to appeal to gadget-lov
ing Americans, there is hardly a
room in the house that does not
have some appliance or conven
ience to make life a bit easier.
No oddity, the house is the work
of an architect noted for skillful
arrangement of apace. It was
created exclusively for the House
of The Week series, and desig
nated X-6 'Miracle' Optional.
The architect has included a
variety of modem conveniences
throughout the house to make for
more living comfort. But they are
not structural parts of the house
and may be utiltzed or eliminated
at the option of the owner.
From the minute you drive into
the garage until you are seated in
the living room for a relaxing
drink at the end of a hard day,
the house and its miracle devices
work together to create a happy,
carefree setting.
For the cold-weather areas of
the country, the walk and drive
way are heated by pipes for im
mediate snow and ice removal.
For the hot summer months, the
roof is built up with marble chip
to reflect the heat away and keep
the house cooler.
Year Round Comfort
For all regions, there is year
round comfort in a complete
summer - winter air conditioning
unit. An intercommunications sys
tem is another feature.
Highlighting the interior is an'
area described by the architect
as an "optional use activity core."
This area has four parts and is
located between the master bed
room and the family room. As ar
chitect Rudolph A. Matern ex
plains it:
"These four areas, which take
up very little room for what they
provide, may be closed off com
pletely by folding screens. They
may be used for those items listed
is the fk>or plan or for any and all
other required by the home owner.
They al9o may be left out com
pletely, using this space to enlarge
the master bedroom and the family
room."
Also as Bedroom
The family room itself has op
tional uses. It is separated from
the kitchen by shutter doors and
has a folding partition at the front.
With the shutter doors closed and
the folding partition used, the fam
ily room can double as a fourth
bedroom.
In listing the devices incorporat
ed in his plan, the architect em
phasizes that the house could be
built without most of them. They
may be added later one at a time.
Some of the devices:
A hi-fi music center, located in
the hall with speakers installed in
various rdoms.
A central vacuum system with
outlets at various points.
Ceiling panel lighting in the bed
room hall. This give# a modern
decorative touch and softly illum
inates this area.
An electric counter unit in the
kitchen. This versatile device has
several parts that are plaeed ink)
a motor receptacle for immediate
blending, chopping, mixing, knife
sharpening, et cetera.
An auxiliary generator in the
garage for emergency periods
when electric power fails.
Rheostat lighting, which controls
brightness by varying degrees.
Screens Effective
Shoji screens in the living room.
They may be extended across the
bow window for a new interior ef
fect with screened light coming
through. When open, they serve as
drapes at either side of the win
dow.
Other features include built-in
desk nooks, a serve-through win
dow from the kitchen to a rear
covered porch, two separate lur
face cooking units in the kitchen,
liquid soap dispensers in all bath
rooms and the kitchen, glass fire
place screens which slide open and
shut, telephone jacks in all main
rooms, a residential fire alarm
system, electric garbage disposal,
continuous electric outlet strips,
and an all-purpose unit in the hall
bath which includes a heater, fan,
light and hair dryer.
A multitude of modern conveniences is shown in this floor pi**- The Hems are not structural parts of
the house and may be utilised or eliminated at the option of the owner.

Yam Growing
Trends Upward
Yams have always been a favo
rite Southern food. And there
shouldn't be any shortage in the
future.
H. M. Covington, horticultore
specialist for Uie N. ?. Agricul
tural Extension Servioe, says
North Carolina farmers are show
ing more interest than ever in
{rowing sweet potatoes commer
cially this year.
But don't let your enthusiasm
get the better of you. Mr. Coving
ton says growers must be able to
think in terms of being able to sell
their field-graded product at har
vest time for $1.75 per bushd?
and still make a normal profit.
Mr. Covington admits that
there's only oae way to do this.
That's by producing high yields
of ? good product and thus cut
unit cost.
He says that growers should aim
for 300 bushels per acre. ftich
yields require good manageraeat
and the use of all recommended
practices such as good seed and
plants, fumigation of beds and
soH, wire worm control, lugMy
productive soil, proper fertiliza
tion, close spacing, careful har
vesting and field grading. 1
An example of how unit cost
can be reduced -by good yields:
If a grower produces 100 bushels
per acre, it coats $1.92 per bushel
to grow it. buy * basket aad
haul it 15 miles to market; if he
produces 180 bushels per acre,
it'll cost him only $1.30 per buibel.

practices you need to follow to ob
