(UP) A $4, 999 home is a Seattle builder's bid to capture the low-cost housing market here. According to officers of Budget Homes, Inc., the four-room, ex pandable homes being built at Mountlake Terrace 13 miles north of here is the most profitable ven ture they've ever undertaken. To meet the demand for a cheap but durable home, the Seattle firm has "thrown away the book." says vice president Al LaPierre. Not that the company'Ssinass-produced methods are particularly unique. They have been used by builders on Long Island, N. y., and in Los Angeles. But LaPierre claims that no other company has yet to put up a home to sell for $4,999 to equal his firm's. ; '"We had been building nouses , in the $8,730 to $9,950 range since before 1940," LaPierre said. "But in late 1948 and. early 1949. we made a comprehensive cost analy sis of home building to see if we couldn't build a house aimed at the some 70 per cent of. prospective home buyers we and everyone else were by-passing." Land Bought Cheaply It was accomplished by buying "cheap land 13 miles north of the "city, buying materials In carload lots direct from the factory, no ' sub-contracting excep.t for plumb- ins, painting, floors and electrical 1 wiring, and by deleting many of me cosily trills in honiebuilding.

BURKE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP) When the tumult from the congressional elec tions dies down next fall, a soft- spoken Republican senator from Vermont plans to step forward with a revolutionary farm plan. The plan is based on the theory that farmers would accept sharp ly lower price supports, in ex change for comolete freedom, from government crop controls. The plan would .nut the contro versial "Brannan plan" method of a chance to "stop and think." lie says it will preserve farmers free dom and still give them Insurance against going broke. He is "encouraged" by the in terest shown privately by some farm organization officials in his plan, But they have advised him this is not yet the time to. start "selling", it not with "both Dem ocrats and some Republicans try- ing to outbid each other" in prom Ising farmers higher supports dur ing the election campaign I don't think the farm vote is support Into operation on a wider on the auction bloc to the highest R i fir . -F.! .'"21; i mm s ife Is mmJ .

Freedom from all government production and marketing controls and arr end to all government buy ing and selling of crop surpluses. These two features are not con-, tained in any other farm plan of fered to date. Flanders figures the lower support guarantees would help control surpluses.- 3. Scrapping of all market price supports in favor of direct subsidy payments to farmers.' The law of supply and demand would be al lowed to get market prices of all commodities. This is. the method the administration's controversial Brannan plan would apply to per ishable foods only. . As far s Flanders is concerned it's the only good feature of the Brannan plan which also provides record high supports and unprece dented production control author ity. Of all plans actually consid ered by congress in recent years Flanders favors the Aiken section of the Hope-Aiken .law passed by the 80th congress. The 81st con gress set supports levels higher be. fore the Aiken plan had 4 chance to go into operation. ! Under FlandersV plan, if 'the market price for a supported com modity averaged below 80 per cent of parity, the farmer would get a check for one-half the difference; Suppose wheat sold for only 60 per cent of parity on the market The difference, between 60 and 80 is' 20. The farmer would get a check for one-half that, or 10 per cent of parity. His total return would be 70 per Cent of parity. Thus, a market price of 75 per cent would return the farmer 77. per cent of parity; and a market price of 50 per cent would provide a total return of 65.

Schwartz commented: "If we may summarize the complaint, the net result of this unholy alliance of the gentle terpsichore and the greedy mammon has produced progeny best described by the ugly word for Illegitimacy." Virginia led with 101 eases. Dr. F. C. Bishopp, Bureau of Entomol ogy, Department of Agriculture, has studied ticks since 1909, has been bitten and still fears them although he's never been infected. He tells ine any American dog tick, also known as the wood tick n-brown, flat, one-eighth of an- inch Wide, about a quarter-inch long- may be a carrier. "Only about one in 300 is infected," he explains, "but that may be the one that bites you." Dr. Bishopp says people should not confuse this tick with the brown. dog tick now all over the U. S. A pest of dogs, a household pest, it is not dangerous to man. When 'engorged it's about one- third inch; bluish gray. Wood ticks attach to you anywhere, most of ten at the edges of the hair. They nip into flesh and gorge with blood. If one has taken hold, remove it with tweezers or a piece of cloth held between fingers.
