BUDDY'S WORKSHOP Build Or Renovate— That's The Question Now thai we are both retired and all the children are goae, my wife and I realize that we need to give up our large home aad either build a new, smaller residence or purchase an existing smaller structure and renovate it to suit our needs. My wife wants to build. I want to buy and renovate. I think we can get more for our money by buying a solid, well-constructed older home and putting a little money into it. Am I right? Whether you're right or wrong depends upon a number of variable factors—the housing market in your area, construction costs, inieresi rates, the sales potential of your present home, etc. The only way to make the right decision (for both of you) is to thoroughly investigate both options. New home builders are eager and anxious to work any way they can to help potential buyers. Inflation has raisixl building and mortgage costs to the point that buying and renovating existing housing must be con sidered, especially by young would-be home purchasers, but also by retirees who find themselves with more house than they need. 1 House Fit Pocketbook By ELLEN GOODMAN la The Greensboro Dally News BOSTON - It i. 10 o clock in the morning, and the suburb feels as empty as a factory at midnight. If a camera panned this neighborhood from above, it would look like a Play skool world. All the single family bouses are neatly painted and furnished, all the yards landscaped, all the streets clean and tree Hnes....and barely Inhabited. The postman makes his rounds here like a watchman. He leaves behind letters that will sit for hours until the return of Occupants and Residents. He meets only a sprinkling of people: a mother with a young baby here, a house wife there, a retired couple in one lost its lived-in look. In fact, people do not live here anymore in the old sense. They spend weekends here. They sleep here. They pay mortgages here. But at the sound of the Monday morning bell, they walk out: the shorter ones to school, the taller ones to work. In the daylight the deserted houses stand as a reminder of a past culture. The effect is eerie, as if some economic neutron bomb hit suburbia. That's not a far-fetched image, not really. In the earlier put of this century, the Thirties and then the Fifties, we were sold on the ideal of owning our own homes on our own plot of land. From Herbert Hoover's housing conference in 1831 to the G. I. mortgages and tax de^ ductions of the post-World War II days, the government fostered this rampant architectural individualism. It wasn't hard to do. The house in America fit our desires for security, and privacy, and ownership. House was home. House was, for many of us, the one space in the world we could control. We could nail pictures to the walls, play drums, cook cabbage. It was ours. For decades, the house fit our pocketbooks and our lifestyles. It was a man's provision and a woman's occupation. If it was also a living arrangement that separated men from women and children, we didn't notice for awhile. Within a single gener ation, home-owning went from being a prerogative of the rich to being a middle-class way of life. Within two generations, it went from being an American dream to being an American assumption. By the Seventies, when there were, finally, SO million houses, when seven out of ten of us lived in single-family homes, the house had become the personification of private life. Today, the house still circumscribes the domes tic world, the personal space in an anonymous life. In every sense of the word, it is our shelter. But it is, increasingly, our task master. That is the irony in the intense feelings about home-owning that we can see every daylight in the deserts of our suburbs. A while ago, a husband bought a house and a wife ran it Now couples have two incomes or often can't afford a mortgage. Awhile ago, a young couple chose a house for the children. Now a young couple often chooses between a house or children. Hie woman of another era who married her archi tecture and became a housewife is now often a working wife with the double workload of a ywiftfii Room to Is now room to The school cbUdren who were the spsdal rationale of the Littleton News Items Mias Jacqueline Moore returned to her home in Goldaboro Sunday alter having spent some time here with her aunt, Miss Fannie Moore due to the death of her mother, Mrs. Macon Moore, Sr. Mrs. Lou C.

Mrs. West and Mrs. Stokes accompanied their mother, Mrs. Viola Etheridge, back to from any other care. Children are the afternoon people of these suburbs. Tlie parents who wanted a private connection with these children under a single roof now watch over them by telephone. To have a home we must leave that home every day. We devote more time to the house and spend less time in it. Should this teach us that the old center of family life doesn't fit the new realities? Probably. But instead, in some odd way, our frantic lives away from home make us value our private space all the more. So we seem trapped in change between conflicting versions of the life we want to lead. We work away from our home, to hold onto our home. We diffuse our families to protect their center. And in the daylight, our neighborhoods become still-life monuments to the powerful idea that only a house is a home.
