Traditional Home In Cedar Terrace Boasts Outstanding Interior Designing By Its Owner Located in tlie new Cedar Terrace Annex-oil' the Dnr- iiani P)onlevard, the trinr tra ditional .style hoiiie of Mr. and Mrs. \V. II. Hooper is ont- snmdino- in its interior design, jrlanned with origintdity and skill hy Mrs. Hopper. The orvners, who tire among the first residents of Cedar Ter race, chose their building site and presented their plans to contrac tor Bob Cowan of Cowian-Mitchell, who constructed the two-bedroom house. An unusually spacious effect for a house with only 1,532 square feet of floor area was achieved by combining the living and dining areas into one large room, by placing the distinctive brick fire place, with its graduated tiers for planter’s and figurines, at an angle; and by using a “dwarf wall” and folding plantation shutters between the living-dining area and the kitchen — a mo.st practical and attractive arrangement for a fam ily which does a great deal of entertaining and who employ little outside help.

The striking “frosted” look of the ■ wails in the living-dining area : was produced by wiping the ply- ' wood paneled walls within a few 3 minutes after the paint was ap ! plied. I Compact and efficient, the kit- ; chen was custom-built for Mrs. I Hepper with counter tops, gas burners and built-in gas oven placed at the height most conven ient ’for her. From her kitchen Mrs. Hopper can see all three approaches to the house, front, side and rear. Directly behind the kitchen and beside the carport is a literal “utility” room. In addition to the laundry equipment, the room con tains a desk for her recipes, household records, typewriter and .vriCng materials; the sewing .na^aine and a handy table for jCWiug or family dining (there’s pass-through to the kitchen), and a large closet for 'odds and ends. 27 Business Leaders Are Coming To 'School' Twenty - seven prominent l)usi- ness executives from North and South Carolina will “retmfti to school” this week when the third annual Executive Program will get underway in the School of Busi ness Administration at the Uni versity of North Carolina at Chap el Hill. Coming from as far west as Bobbinsville and as far south as Columbia, S. C., the businessmen will begin a six-mouth study period which is designed to turn them into top-level management personnel. All of them are at present filling improtant execu tive positions. Williard J. Graham, professor of accounting in the BusinessAd- ministration School, will direct the program. Another desirable feature here is a special built-in, placed next to the door leading in from the carport. The counter-top of the built-in was designed as an un loading place for grocery bags Storage space for cans and staples is provided above and below the counter. Large wardrobe closets in each of the 12-by-16 bedrooms are in dispensable aids to housekeeping. Sliding doors conserve flcor space fs in other closets throughout. The bath is made up of thre_ compartments, the first being a foyer-like powder room with two large linen closets. A door at the •ight of the foyer leads into a half-bath, the door to the left opens into the shower and tub :ompartment. NATURAL GAS UTILITIES Cooking, heating and air-con ditioning is done with natural gas. Recessed lighting is used through out. As. it stands, the house is ideal for a small family. Should more space be needed, however, the carport could easily be conver ted into another room and would make an attractive addition. Today's Home Build, Ihemselves to ■ 1'“' a #?*! ~'-T: COMPACT—BUT ADEQUATE—The kitchen is small, but because of its excellent planning, there is no sacrifice of efficiency or convenience. Note Formica is used on counter tops and walls surrounding work areas. Note Pass-through (right center) to utility room.

Ideal arrangement for hostess who does her own cooking. News Leader Photo Garden Ramblings —AROUND CHAPEL HILL— By William J. Brown Spring flowering bulbs are easy to grow but there are certain tips to follow for the best results. Soil is the first thing to consider. -Ideally the ground should be well-drained and contain a good jupply of humus. The heavy clays, dominant in most Chapel Hill gar dens can be im proved by dig ging in leaf mould, well rot ted farm manure Or the more ex- ■pensive pest .moss. This will take care of both the drainage and tne humus prob lem. Bonemeal is one of the best fertilisers for your precious bulbs. It should be applied at the rate of eight ounces per square yard. It is worth while marking out a square yard in an odd corner, weighing eight ounces .of bone- mean and scattering the fertiliser evenly over the measured square yard. This will give you some idea of the rate to scatter the fer tiliser over a larger area. Your bulbs should be planted anytime now through November. It is possible to plant even in December, but not advisable. The depth of planting is con trolled roughly by the size of the buib. A general rule is to plant at a depth two to three times greater than the largest diameter of the bulb. Thus Crosuses will be plant ed two to three inches deep, daf fodils and tulips seven to eight inches deep. Tulips need protection from nicies, if you have any in your Moles seem to think that are tulips are provided as a dessert PATRONSZE YOUR • ADVERTISERS • Chapel Hill News Leader P.
