Practical Design Keeps Home Cost Low
Snug-looking and low, this
house was carefully designed to
permit economical construction
without neglecting any of the re
quirements lor comiorxaDie, en
joyable living. The dwelling has
been selected by American Build
er magazine, 30 Church St., New
York 7, N. Y., as its Plan No. 36.
American Builder says that
Walter T. Anicka, the architect,
has adopted practical design,
sound planning and simple fram
ing as architectural principles and
thus "comes up with a house that
can be reproduced in permanent
materials at an absolute minimum
cost."
The large, divided front win
dow is a feature of Plan No. 36.
With the adjoining plywood pan
els, a striking central motif is
created. Even more interest can
be added by the use of dark, con
trasting colors near the entrance
way. .
Contrasting materials also are
used on the gable ends and the
garage door.- For the roof, the
architect suggests shingles of a
color which will harmonize pleas
ingly with other exterior hues of
the house and with the colors of
neighboring dwellings.
The dwelling has three bed-

Demand for colored baf'uMom
Ixlures has ini-rcised s'.iarply
,inee the war. says American
Builder magazine.
"Not only are colored plumbing
fixtures more popular today than
ever before but there has bee.i a
decided change in color prefer
ences," the magazine says. "Be
fore the war, h j.y was th most
popular color. T;d ly, tans, greens
and blues are at the head of the
list."
American Builder explains that
the plumbing fixtures now avail
able do not differ radically in. de
sign from those made before the
war. However, styling and health
protective features have been im
proved, and faucets and valves
have heen made easier to operate.
"Attention lias been given to
the ability of separate fixtures to
b'?nd together and to fit harmo
niingly into any decorative
se re ne," the building magazine
adds. "Furthermore, this harmo
n;zing of designs has been stepped
down to even the moderately
priced fixtures."
A safety measure adopted in
recent years is the elimination of
china faucet handles which are a
hazard if they become broken or
chipped. New fixtures have metal
hanri'es instead.
The preference for colored
plumbing fixtures in the bath
room does not hold true in the
k t"hen. American Builder says
tvom'rng dealers and builders
have learned tnat the white kitch
;n sink is still favored.

Inefficient Kitchen Plan
Doubles Housewife's Work
Inefficient arrangement of
range, refrigerator, sink, cabinets
and counters can cause a house
wife to spend twice as much time
and effort in the kitchen as would
be necessary-otherwise, says
American Builder magazine.
The refrigerator and storage
cabinets and bins should be near
the outside door where supplies
can be brought in conveniently.
Near the refrigerator, there
should be counter space for mix
ing foods.
American Builder recommend;
pli.cing the sink un.la- a window.
Careful Home Color Styling Urged
Color styling of homes should
be undertaken with the same
amount of care given to design,
site planning, landscaping, pro
duction and financing.
That is the belief of Beatrice
West, professional color consult
ant, as quoted in American Build
er, the 'magazine of the building
industry. Miss West has done the
color planning of more than 25,
000 houses for 108 builders in 19
states.
"Color is a paramount consid
eration in architecture and fre
quently makes the difference be
tween success and failure in plan
ning a home," Miss West says.
"To be successful in this respect,
a hoire must have a distinctive
appearance.
"Q;:te naturally, color plan
ning should begin with the roof
and work down. Because the roof
is the largest unbroken area nor
mally visible, the entire color
scheme of a house will fail if the
roof color is not right.
"The blended colors in asphalt
shingles ofier the widest latitude
in selecting colors for sidewalls
and trim n. '.erial. A blended col
or is exactly what the word
'blend' implies a mixture of col
ors which readily harmonizes
with a wide ranee of other hues."

There should be ample work
space on both sides of the sink.
The range should be near the
dining room. Counter space and a
cabinet for utensils should be
within easy reach.
The magazine advises allowing
kitchen space for a large refrig

erator might be installed original
ly. There is a growing preference
for large refrigerators, many of
which have frozen food compart
ments. As a family increases in
size, more refrigerator space is
needed.
In styling this home Beatrice West began with gray-blended asphalt
shingles and then used gray-stained red cedar shingles for the side
walls. For color harmony, the trim is a matching gray. Banana

Cinder Block Gains in Use
As Home Building Material
Cinder block is proving to be
a highly satisfactory material for
residential construction in north
ern climates, says American
Builder magazine.
Cinder block is a type of con
crete block in which the aggre
gate is cinders instead of sand and
gravel. Its use as a major material
l home building has been made
possible by progress in manufac
turing techniques and by many
developments in waterproofing
compounds, American Builder ex
plains. As an example of modern cin
der block construction, the build
ing industry magazine describes
a house built in New York state.
Roof Requires
Solid Support
For Long Life
A soundly constructed roof
deck is considered as important to
the life of a roof as a soundly
constructed foundation is to the
entire house. Roofing material
cannot be expected to give its full
service if the deck which sup
ports it is in poor condition.
A wood roof deck to be covered
with asphalt shingles should be
constructed of well-seasoned
tongue and groove sheathing not
more than 6 inches wide, says the
Asphalt Roofing Industry Bureau.
Wider sheathing boards are not
recommended because they might
shrink enough to buckle tne rooi
ing material after it has. been ap
plied. Boards should be tightly
matched. Each board should be
fastened to each supporting rafter
with two 8-penny nails, one
through the face of the board and
the other through its edge.
Badly warped boards or boards,
with excessively resinous areas orl
loose knots should not be used.
Any defeets noticed after the
sheathing is applied should be
covered with sheet metal patches
before the roofing material is laid.
After all the boards are in
place, the deck should be pro
tected from dampness by -a layer!
;of asphalt saturated felt, not
heavier than 15 pounds per square.
Water Does Harm
Far From Leak
Water seeping through a roof
can show up far from the actual
leak. It can flow down through
the walls of the house to crack
plaster and stain wall paper even
in first floor rooms. i
Eeroofing, rather than patching,
Is advisable if a roof is in poor
condition. A new covering of as
phalt shingles usually can be laid
on top of the old roofing material
trends, hump.n reactions to color
and other factors which influence
color acceptance.
She suggests a minimum num
ber of different colors but advises
combining these colors in a maxi
mum number of ways to provide
diversity of appearance without
increasing the price which th
home buyer must pay.

Fire-resistant asphalt shingles,
which cannot readily be kintlld
into flame by living sparks, are
used for the roof.
The cinder block siding was
given a cement stucco finish. Then
the walls were painted with a
waterproofing compound to pre
vent harmful condensation of
water.
On the Interior, floors are sup

conventional wood joists. The steel
adds to the fireproofing. Floors are

State College Hints
To Home Makers
Do you know exactly what you
want when you go to buy a lamp?
You should consider the ue
will be put to. An;' 'amp that will
be used for reading, studying, sew
ing or other close work needs to be
constructed to give plenty of clear,
soft, glareless light.
For a good buy in such a lamp,
look for:
Size: Be sure the lamp is tell
enough and has a shade broad
enough at the bottom to spread
a wide circle of light.
Bowl: Be sure the lamp has a
diffusing bowl under the shade to
prevent glare and soften light.
Bulb: Lamps equipped for three-
light bulbs are most useful because
the light can be adjusted to suit
diferent needs.
Shade: Select shades broad at
the bottom, deep enough to c-oncea.
the diffusing bowl and with a while
lining to reflect light. A white oi
ivory shade gives about 50 more
light than a dark shade which ab
sorbs and thus wastes light. Many
people like shades which are dark
on the outside but they should al
ways have a white lining.
