New Book Aids in Building Fences A Sunday afternoon drive through the suburbs anywhere in the U.S. today reveals that there is tremendous fence building activity going on, especially in the new mass-produced tracts. A second glance shows that the owner usually rolls up his sleeves and tackles this construction job himself. To help the new home owners who are fencing in Suburbia, "How to Build Fences and Gates" ($1.50) was published today by Lane of San Francisco. This new book contains 266 photos and drawings showing the advantages and disadvantages of a large number of fences, from the solid glass, view-saving windbreak type to the single wire cattle enclosure. New England pickets, Western grape stakes, paddock enclosures and patio fencing are but a few of the 200 fences and gates illustrated and explained. Every step of selecting, planning and building fences is included in this attractive book, which is probably the only one ever published entirely on this subject. LEE'S GAL FRIDAY Sure, it's HOT! PLANTS feel the heat, too, so remember to give them more WATER to drink. A little FEEDING now is welcomed by most PLANTS also. Ask us to advise you what type you should use for your particular plants. ROSES will recover faster from that faded summer look with a FEEDING of RED STAR ROSE FOOD. An application of SOIL SULPHUR is beneficial to ROSES now to counteract the alkalinity of our water. BUILDING FAX By CARL MEYER Sec., Orange Co. Builders Assn. In this age of specialization, home building, too, has its specialists. Although you, as a home builder, may contract with just one person or firm to build your home, yet, in fact, there are many contractors who will furnish labor and materials in the building of your home. These other contractors contract to do the work, not directly for the home owner, but for the general contractor. That is why they are referred to as sub-contractors; their contracts, you see, are subordinate to the main, or general contract. What kinds of work are included in sub-contracts? There are many as you probably know: electrical, plumbing, heating, painting, roofing, plastering, masonry, floor finishing (such as hardwood tile), papering. Who selects the sub-contractors and why? The sub-contractors are selected by the general contractor, although when an architect is employed by the owner, it is customary to reserve the right to approve the granting of each sub-contract. The reasons for the general contractor selecting the sub-contractors are basically sound. First, the general contractor is responsible for the successful building of your home, so he should not be hampered in choosing the men whom he must rely on to help him fulfill his agreement with you, the home builder. Second, to construct a building rapidly as well as skillfully, you must be utmost cooperation timing the various subcontract work. The general contractor learned through years of experience that certain sub-contractors can be especially relied upon to do their portion of the within the time specified; can be relied upon to begin the when they are needed; can be lied upon to cooperate to the extent extent when, for any reason small "snags" arise which upset the entire time schedule the general contractor. Third, the general contractor has agreed to build your home a definite price; he, in turn, get bids from other contractors the sub-contractors, so as to a working "team" of bulldoers sub-contractors, alter their work is skillful, alter they have fine reputation reliability, although they will operate to the maximum extent evertheless at times, and too high in price to be included under the general contract. So, again, the general contractor must have the authority to hire the sub-contractors. It all adds up to this: you the home builder, hold the general contractor fully and finally sponsible for contracting your home. He in turn, finds and builds "team" together is his job, not yours, to winning team. The total church members of the U.S. in 1947 was 73,673.

WHITE Adult sophistication and home-spun practicality mingle with the warmth and intimacy of colonial charm in the exceptionally beautiful new home of the Al Brunets on the corner of Palm and Sycamore in Anaheim. Keynote of the interior decorative motif is the unusually high vaulted open beam ceiling of the living room. The height of the ceiling allows an open staircase to wind from the hearth of the rosy red used brick fireplace to a bedroom and bath on a second story. The effect is one of spaciousness yet quaint aesthetic beauty seldom found in the modern house. The exposed wood of stairway and ceiling is finished in maple and this is complimented by hand loomed California floor covering in a medley of lovely colors. Green is the predominating color of walls and carpeting. Provincial appointments throughout the living room and adjoining dining room have been custom made to blend with this soft shade of green. At luxurious club chair with matching ottoman is upholstered in frieze the color of red raspberries while a generous wing chair and sofa have a lively print covering. These plus the elegant hand tailored lamp shades accentuate the rich satiny smoothness of the remaining pieces of solid maple furniture. Early American The kitchen and den have been done in early American. Immensely practical are the natural birch kitchen cabinets that lend a warm touch to the whiteness of modern screen television. Quaintly Colonial Nowhere is quaint charm quite so apparent as three large bedrooms. Family looms harmonize with many made by Mrs. Brunet's fingers.

Anaheim 2118 Newly set plants must be watered often, but irrigations should be gradually spaced further apart. They should also be deeper and the surface should be allowed to dry out between irrigations to discourage surface roots which would be subject to injury in case of hot dry weather. Exceptions are some shade plants which have roots close to the surface. In such cases the soil should be damp nearly to the surface all the time. However, a deeper irrigation is needed at intervals as there are also deeper roots on such plants. Irrigation cannot be done by the calendar. Weather is not constant and plants do not all grow at the same rate. Only experience can tell one the proper intervals between irrigations in a given soil. Every gardener should dig a few test holes with a spade or trowel to see the actual conditions below the surface. A soil tube does a better job more easily. Though not generally available, the University of California Division of Irrigation will furnish on request specifications for making these tubes.
