Modern Armories To Be Built By Army For Use Reserve Forces Cost Estimated to Total In Neighborhood of $18,000,000 Washington—The Army Is building 53 armories for its reserve forces at a total cost of approximately $lB,- 000,000. The armories now being planned, under construction or recently com pleted will serve ns training struc tures for United States Army Re serve members in local communities of 25 states. Almost all the new armories fea ture long, low construction lines, resi dential type windows and erterior fin ishes chosen to harmonize with neigh boring buildings in local communities. The “new look’’ design—a far cry from the armories of yesteryear which reflected the Bastille school of archi tecture—denotes the Army’s desire to j make hometown America’s Reserve j headquarters an integral part of the I communities. In addition to the “new look,” the armories also have another desirable feature. They are expansible. As the Reserve program grows, the armories also can be made to grow by adding wings to the basic buildings. The basic building is designed to accommodate approrimately 400 men for training purposes. Tbis basic unit can be expanded to accommodate 600 or 800 men by adding additional wings. Similarly, a 600-man armory may be elpanded to an 800 or 1,000- man unit. The “new look” armories place em phasis on increased classroom space and a reduced emphasis on drill areas. This is in line with the Army’s need , for thoroughly-trained technicians. Tn addition to classrooms, the armories contain administrative offices, day rooms, rifle ranges, arms vaults, kit chens. lockers and assembly halls. Armories currently being built are located on federally-owned land under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Army, or land upon which the Government holds long-term rights. Complete Plans First; Then Begin Remodeling Remodeling without careful plan ning can be expensive, inconvenient and disheartening. It costs nothing to plan and re- 1 plan, and only bv careful planning will you be able to have just the tvpe of home vou want, says Pauline E. Gor don, State College Extension special ist in housing and house furnishings. Remodeling or building is too ex pensive not to warrant detailed plan- I ning of what your family wants. And according to Miss Gordon, family planning is important since the kind of home in which you live helps to de velop the personality of all persons living within it. Long-time planning will save vou both money and inconvenience. Plan work on your home that can be done over a period of years and then do | some work each year as you have the 1 8 money to pay for it, suggests Miss I Gordon. AH of your family will en- j Q joy contributing some labor to cut, a costs further. If you’re planning more storage space, Miss Gordon advises you to con sider wall-to-wall storage. List the articles to be stored in the space al lotted, then plan shelf and drawer areas to accommodate them. It’s eas ier to keep house when there is a place to put all the things needed by the family. 9 According to Miss Gordon, the most 8 convenient height to reach is from the ■ tip of the fingers to the top of the ■ shoulders. Store articles used most I often in this area. Those used less I frequently can be placed lower or I higher. * I <> < * J; THOMAS LIPTON \\ o, < ► < > “Dr. Optimist is the finest <» J! chap in the names directory J | 33 of any city” ' > I! « > 33 OURS is a profession of 1 3 ;\ helpfulness.
