Ma tern, gays: | "I wanted to design a home in which there is a large area? easily accessible to the outdoors ^nd other parts of the house? that could Ibe used or arranged according to the personal requirements of the individual owners. "The basic living requirements can be designated into a home to satisfy the population in general. |But all individuals live differently and have their own special needs. "The select-your-plan area in House of The Week design X-24 gives each owner the opportunity to build his own special needs into a basic, well-designed home."

Ju?t Thinking Four Students Write Poems By TUCKER R. LITTLETON ?raufurt Faculty Member Though the readers of this col imp may have profiled nothing, lur students have at least been [Iven some incentive for creative vriting, as is testified by the many mens this time. Next week we i?pe to discuss some matters with '?u, but right now we're dedicat or our entire column to the poetry it our students. The first poem. Life's Troubles, vas written by one of our juniors, >leilie Thomas. The second poem, iCiat, was written by Jackie Wheat ey, one of our seniors. Joyce laweU, another of our seniors, vrote the third poem, Life. The ast four poems were written by a tudent who still wishes the name vithheld. Life's Troubles Jever a sorrow, never a care, ievcr a worry to make grey hair ? i'es, that's me through and through! fes, that's me? what about you? can't be sad a single day through lust get mad and don't know what to do.

New Y?rk (AP)? A plain old ordi i?ry seven-inch pencil will draw a ine 35 miles Ion# before you run ut of lead and begin scraping your :nuckies. The pencil industry turns out 1V4 lillion pencils a year, enough to Iraw a line 52's billion miles long it two million times around the arth. That's just a sample of some of he facts and figures that the pen ?il people's statisticians have cal ulated (with a pencil, of course) 0 amaze us ordinary users. For instance: There are 350 different kinds of >encils made in the United States n 19 different degrees of hardness, rhey come in 72 different shades ind colors, including the ever-pop ilar yellow. They range in design from the arge round ones for little children, vho like to grasp them like a >room haadle, to the precise bard ead jobs used by engineers and irchitects. Pencils are scarce in many parts 4 the world but in the United States each of us uses an average if nine per year ? and that in cudes those that are chewed and apped on desks. But there's one thing the statia icians haven't figured out. If there are that aiaay pencils licking around, why la it ?o many ele phone conversations open with he words: "Wait a minute. Wait until I find 1 pencil." K& iSi* -**sw?^wAa \ CONCRETE MASONRY ATTRACT I ?1 INIKrtWflYf PEKMANVMf IMP *?
