Ford, tvho wanted their chil dren to enjoy th.e advantages of living in the country and chose for their hnildiiig site a broad slope, situated on the Ford tract that lies rdaont six miles west off the new Greens boro highway. Planned by owners and built by Mr. Ford with the aid of three carpenters and a brick mason, the house is the efficient two-zone type in which living and sleeping areas are separate and well defined— a layout that automatically regula tes traffic patterns within the house. Evidence of a discriminating builder is seen both outside and inside the house. Iron tubes that never need replacing are used to sui>port the porch roofs. There are no e.vposed outside doors; each door is either recessed several feet or .sheltered by an overhang. All interior wall board is heavy duty which, while being slightly the land surounding the home, a scratch-face brick fireplace with j raised hearth, vinyl-tile floors and modern kitchen appliances. Solution To Housecleaning With four children, whose inter est include, among other things, a pony, a goat, several blue-ribbon winning pigs, and two large Box ers; a clean-up room, equipped with shower stall adjacent to the washing machine, offers a practi cal solution to one of the ancient problerns of housekeeping. Double closets with sliding doofs are conveniently located in the entrance foyer, guest room . and children’s rooms. The master he-d- room features a large walk-in closet with handy racks and shel ves for tidy storage. Two baths, a hallway with outside access door and three additional bedrooms com' plete the sleeping area. . . The well-lighted basement per forms all the usual functions of basements and, also, provides, a fine place for Gail, 13, Billy, 11. and Mike-, four, -to dry and store birdnests, seeds and plants.

PLAYROOM—High v/indows at eacn.end of the room and re cessed lighting provide plenty of light for reading, writing or practising.at the piano. Durable vinyl tile and pine paneling were chosen for this room, located between the "clean up" room and the "family" room.

Doors and windows are placed directly opposite the other to pro vide cross ventilation in every room. A fine detail of plan ning is shown in the use of heavy- duty electrical wire that eliminates the possibility of overloading the wires even though all appliances and lights are in use at one time. “Snap-out” windows that can be removed easily and quickly for cleaning are especially good in the large house that contains a great number of windows. The view in the living room and f.amily room is to the pond and surrounding woods at the back of the house. Modern efficiency and traditional warmth are effectively combined in the family room through the use of mellow pine has not been com.pleted, but will be finished into three large bed rooms and a bath. Although this house was. built for a larger family, many of the construction ideas are as timely and applicable to the smaller home.

At the end of the tour we came to a small room, practically bare of furnishings. The simple sign designated the room contained one word—“Meditation.” As we looked at it the room ap ing for noble ideals religion must net intrude. No symbol of any of the eleven religions of the world appears anywhere in the room. Lest the word “prayer” be of fensive to those who do not be lieve in it, the word “meditation” is substituted. ss II ■ * ! phone 8-414 Main St., Carrboro ..T # ■> I'S* ai IMS «... ■ ITS MASSIVE FIREPLACE—The large fireplace of scratch-face brick dominates the end of the family room opposite the kitchen. Informal collection on mantel contains heirlooms and children's keep sakes. An outside access door is located at left of fireplace. Windows face pond and woods at the back af the house. News Leader Photo We sat in a chair in the Med itation Room and did some think ing. 'This little room represented i mankind's religion reduced to the smallest common denominator. Was not something important rack ing in the United Nations? Those noble objectives — peace, health, food, education — seemed still short of mankind’s fullest need. These were some of the ques tions which went through our minds as we sat in that little room. It is quite apparent that this represents where the world stands in its relation to God at the present moment. We salute God in passing and let it .go at that, a sign, of courtesy but also a sign of our casual acquaintance ship. But it is not only the United! Nations which make God an after thought and relegate him to meaninglessness and insignifi cance. Many a community does just that. I have often thought that for all our gestures toward reli gion here in Cha.pel Hill, God is more often an afterthought. than he is our first concern. For so maiiy people this is true. I can hear Jesus saying to our time, ^Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you — food, enlightenment, and peace.” Everything You Need The Building Line You Con Find At Fitdi Comp* Yes, Fitch Lumber everything in .j build a conifl if it is to - , home, do a ren i build an additional I ent structure.
