HOMES FRONT VIEW—Typical of the many small homes under construction in Anaheim today is this one at 555 So. Palm, designed by John Swint. A well constructed frame house, it will be finished in light green stucco combined with siding painted yellow, and a four foot facing of red brick at the front. The cedar shingle roof will be left natural. LEE'S GAL FRIDAY Garden Gossip Home Under Construction Displays Features Offered New Small Homes By JOAN S.

Some really GOOD GARDENING GLOVES or one of the SUNSET BOOKS on PLANTS, LANDSCAPING, FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS, or AFRIICAN VIOLETS are always welcomed by a MOTHER who likes to GARDEN. There are PLANTERS (CEAMIC combined with COPPER and BRASS) in numerous colors and styles, and the good looking substantial SQUARE POTTERY so popular both INDOORS and OUTDOORS. REDWOOD BASKETS with TUBEROUS BEGONIA BULBS or PLANTS or FUCHSIA PLANTS will give her the thrill of watching the planted basket come alive with color later. If she has lived in the east or middle west at some time, it will be a REAL TREAT to receive a SNOWBALL BUSH or WEIGELA in FULL BLOSSOM. She is certain to be pleasantly impressed with ROSES of any kind (BUSH, TREE, or CLIMBER). They are especially lovely at the showy PAUL'S SCARLET present, CLIMBERS, particularly. A POTTED PLANT is always Home Under Construction Displays Features Offered New Small Homes By JOAN S. WHITE The demands of the buying public are reflected in the many small homes under construction in Anaheim today. The new house going up at 555 So. Palm is a fine example of the features offered the modern small owner by the building trade. Planned by John Swint, a local designer, the house will incorporate 1351 square feet. It has the three bedrooms which far-sighted families have come to demand these days, a conveniently arranged kitchen and a bath and three-quarters. Picture Window The unusually large living room, measuring 13x30 feet, extends across the front of the house and is well lighted by corner windows as well as a spacious version of the popular picture window. Two walls of the living room will be finished in knotty pine; the other two in tinted plaster. The ceiling will be of textured plaster. An attractive fireplace of red brick will be the room's focal point of interest. The floor plan allows elasticity in living arrangements since there is dining space in either living room or kitchen, and one bedroom is centrally located so that it may be used as a den. Unique Feature The most unique feature of the house is double hall. The entrance hall opens into the living room or into a second hall leading to bedrooms and bath. This insures privacy not usually enjoyed in a small home. Because of the double hall, the bathroom door cannot be seen from the living room, and the bedroom wing can be closed off from the rest of the house. This is a special advantage where small children are concerned. The house is well constructed. The floors are hardwood throughout except in kitchen and bath where the floor covering is inlaid linoleum. A 57,000 B.T.U. floor furnace supplies ample heat. The dimensions of the double garage at the back of the house are 20x22 feet which allows for two cars and additional storage space. In the past 10 years the Pacific Coast states have grown by nearly 50 per cent. FOR MOTHER'S DAY GIVING Planters for Early American Homes Black Cast Iron.

Although comparatively slow growing and having the added disadvantage of large roots close to the surface which cause trouble with walks and drives, they are still very desirable trees for many situations. Most commonly planted alone as specimens on lawns, or in tree groupings in large properties, the Magnolia is also a very striking subject when espaliered against a well. Magnolias like rich, well-drained soil, well fertilized. Thorough irrigations are necessary, the water being supplied long enough to soak several feet into the ground in order to supply as much as possible of the extensive root system. On heavy soils, which are not preferred by Magnolias, but which are tolerated if not too wet, this means leaving a slow stream of water for a whole day or more at a time. If applied properly irrigation should not be necessary more than once a month in heavy soil. No important pests are found on Magnolias here. FHA Officials Warns on Building Rackets Property owners who contemplate repairing, remodeling, modernizing or installing eligible equipment, again were warned against racketeering contractors by John E. McGovern, FHA district director. He pointed out that if financing is needed, loans for such purposes are available under the FHA property improvement plan. Also, he said, there are many reliable dealers, contractors, and suppliers who do satisfactory work at a fair price. "Unfortunately, there are a few unreliable and unsuperilous operators," McGovern said. These unethical dealers make various approaches. They make over-statements as to the merits of the product and stipulate guarantees beyond those of the manufacturer. "They also promise cash bonuses on repeat sales in the neighborhood, stating that your house will be used as a model and that your payments will be made from these cash bonuses." Other examples of deliberate deception cited by Mr. McGovern involve such practices as inducing a prospect to sign a blank credit application and so on. BUILDING FAXE By CARL MEYER Secretary Orange County Builders Association Whatever style of house may choose whether it is a manhole or an average home, the first essential is to build well. Freed from annoyances and unnecessary expenses, in the future is assured when proper materials are used. A question that arises that this age of rapid change will families move frequently if is worth while to build for permanency. A century or so homes were built to endure many generations. Today many those homes still stand, untouched by time. Even if permanency isn't a factor for today, cost of maintenance Over a period of years more will be spent to keep a poorly constructed house in repair than original investment in good materials. Another argument might that the design of the house will be obsolete after a space of year Good architecture, well executed is never out of style.

The deciduous shrub Magnolias are in general not adapted to our conditions, liking regions with colder winters. However, several varieties are offered which do make quite a show in spring, with their tulip-like flowers. Magnolia soulangeana grows to a height of about ten feet. Leaves are narrow and buds long and pointed, petals upright when open and purplish outside and white inside. It is apt to be irregular in its blossoming, March is the usual time. Magnolia stellata is also deciduous, but has small, star-shaped white flowers so clear and white as to appear artificial as if made of wax. ANIMAL SHIPPING COSTS UP SINGAPORE (F) — Seventy-year-old Trader Horne, noted wild animal collector, arrived in Singapore looking for purchases but he said shipping freight charges to New York were "ridiculous." "Prewar we could ship an elephant from Singapore for $100. Now it's $800 plus an attendant fee of $60. A tiger costs $411 to ship, plus an attendant fee of $85. Another argument might be that the design of the house will be obsolete after a space of year. Good architecture, well executed is never out of style. Wood construction has low predominated in the building of homes. Many are the advantage of building with wood, most of them already known. Certain precautions must be taken though in the construction. Proper ventilation must be ensured for inclosed members prevent dry rot. The wood members above ground level must be on a suitable dry masonry foundation. Exposed wood should be painted or treated with a paint preservative which should also be stain. Paint from time to time will, of course, renew the appearance of the house. Masonry types are also popular today. These include both brick and stone facings and stucco applied over wood. When used with a wood frame, these materials depend on the frame for permanency, rather than themselves. Brick, stone and stucco add a fir-resisting quality to the house. PICKING STRAWBERRIES—The luscious red berries are a year round crop on the sixty-five acre field southeast of Anaheim adjacent to the Santa Ana river bed, owned by M. Murata. The sandy soil is ideal for strawberries and the acreage is currently producing 1000 flats of berries a day for the Los Angeles market. Murata (standing) employs only workers of Japanese extraction. Under his management, the field has sent eight children through Southern California colleges. "More For Your Building Dollar" JUST ADD WATER MIX AND USE...
