MODERN FURNITURE GROUPING—A strong and continuing trend toward modern is shown in the increasing use of metal in the newest lines of furniture. Metal enables the designer to obtain a lightness of design and to use simple and fluid lines without any sacrifice of strength and durability. The colorful grouping shown here is manufactured by the Vista Furniture company of Anaheim and combines solid ash with tubular steel. Two basic upholstery fabrics are available for the chairs in a number of patterns and colors. Very few people know the varieties of MUMS by name, but they do know the type they like. That's why they prefer to select them from the large variety we have FLOWERING in GALLON CANS. Just arrived this week are the PARROT TULIP BULBS — WHITE FREESIA BULBS — and others of the more CHOICE TYPES. PARROT TULIPS are very satisfactory to grow because of their prolific flowering habit. ... Till next week. Lee's Gal Friday LEE'S NURSERY 718 So.

(Gazette photo by Kreidt.) Ross Home Adapted to Full-Tilt Style Of Living; Atmosphere is Den-Like By JOAN S. WHITE Convention went out the window when Mr. and Mrs. Leighton Ross and their three lively youngsters took over an externly functional, shed-roofed house of modern design at 1228 E. La Palma ave. They have made it as modern as all-get-out but not quite in the way the builder intended. You know the type of house it is: uneompromising straight lines with exposed structural detail of redwood, brick and glass—the last place in the world you would expect a family to select whose tastes run to provincial furnishings and cottage curtains. But wait. The Ross family liked its location, they knew a growing family could use the 71x190 roof lot to good advantage, and they saw interesting possibilities in the well-arranged, rather "open" plan of the sturdily constructed house. Mrs. Ross has a decided flair for interior home decoration as a glance at the accompanying pictures will show, and Leighton himself, is mighty handy with hammer and saw. Thanks to the lively antics of Gregg, aged two, and Brad, aged four, and the easy-going informality of a gregarious family, they expected their house to be lived in up to the hilt and planned accordingly. The result is the cozy atmosphere of a den that runs all over the house. Big Main Room Without benefit of partitions, the kitchen, dining room, and living area are all parts of the same big main room. Dining is done in a brick-lined alcove which overlooks the garden through a lovely bay window and at the same time is handy to the kitchen. For quick lunches, there is a row of calico covered high stools perched beside the counter that divides the kitchen from the living cases flank the fireplace and are cleverly treated as a unit. A scalloped wood valence tends to soften the straight edges of the combed plywood and beams. Warm reds and yellows subtle touches of greys and green have been used in the comfort uphostered furniture and in pier lamps and accessories around the room. The house has been built cement slab and its coldnec erased by a finish coat of asphalt which in turn has been finally covered with shag rug. Room to Grow There is room for this two room house to grow in all situations and plans are in progress for several more rooms. Meanwhile, a sprawling, covered patio accessible French doors in the living room does duty as an extra room high surrounding fence gives vacy, a roof and luxuriant bery provide shade, and a spilling of handmade lounge cushions do the rest. "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 McGovern involve such practices as inducing a prospect to sign a blank credit application and in obtaining the borrower's signature on a completion certificate before the work is actually completed. "It is against such dealers and practices that FHA desires to caution borrowers," he said. DISPOSAL OF JAPANESE ASSETS IS PROBLEM SINGAPORE UP—The Singapore and Federation of Malaya governments are going to use Japanese assets to pay war damage claims, but they've got plenty of problems. One big one is whether Japanese holdings in the form of rubber estates and tin mines in areas infested by Red terrorists should be sold now or held in trust until the state of emergency in Malaya is ended. It was pointed out to sell such assets now undoubtedly would mean a considerable loss on their real value since good prices could not be expected for holdings in "terrorist areas." The bulk of Japanese assets in Malaya consists of 65,000 acres of rubber estates, tin mines and pineapple plantations. Without benefit of partitions, the kitchen, dining room, and living area are all parts of the same big mail room. Dining is done in a brick-lined alcove which overlooks the garden through a lovely bay window and at the same time is handy to the kitchen. For quick lunches, there is a row of calico covered high stools perched beside the counter that divides the kitchen from the living room proper. Behind this counter is a compact work space with the modern conveniences of refrigerator, double sink, built-in stove, and even space for a soon-to-be purchased deep freezing unit. As a home-maker, Mrs. Ross likes this arrangement because she can keep an eye on the youngsters while she is preparing meals, and as a hostess, she enjoys keeping in contact with her guests even though she must be in the kitchen part of the time. Actually, the kitchen adds a great deal to the decorative scheme of the room as a whole. Its dark green cabinets, yellow walls and bits of red and white striped wall paper give a decided lift to the remaining walls which are natural-finished combed plywood. Opposite the kitchen is a brick fire place, obviously the center of interest in spite of the fact that there is a television set in the room as well. Even the piano rivals TV in popularity.

Despite our practically perfect climate in California, there are times when we need a bit of heat in the home; other times when some cool fresh air is highly inviting. So what do we do? In the cool seasons we operate an effective heating system, and in warm seasons we open the doors and windows in an effort to "catch a cool breeze" coming our way. Winter or summer, fall or spring, there is always a question of ventilation—clean, fresh air with temperature to suit. But ventilation is quite different from heating or cooling. Ventilation is the phase of fresh air, clean air, the "temperature to suit" is a problem of cooling or hosting whatever air we have. Most houses, even today, have been designed and built with little scientific regard to circulation of air. Houses have been and are being built with more concern about heating than cooling, but usually avoiding the problem of fresh air. The reason is obvious. If we want fresh air—just open a window; if we want lots of fresh air—open two or three. ter "climatized" if windows are restricted in their use as means of letting in light, and if doors are relied on just as a means of safety and easily going through a wall. Let the air come into (and out of) your home in a more scientific way, through air ducts. That isn't a new idea. Innumerable business locations have utilized vents to bring air into and force air out of their establishments, for the purpose of providing fresh air. Even chicken coops have, for years, had vents to permit circulation of air. Why not houses, too? By placing an exhaust fan in the kitchen, an exhaust fan in the bathroom; then a change of air has been started, which in effect forces the old, stagnant odorized air out of the house. Perhaps one or two other exhaust fans strategically located in other parts of the house will provide ample exhaust fans to take care of outgoing air. Where will the outgoing air come from, and how should it be replaced? Well, the circulation of air having been started by driving out the old air from the kitchen, the Tilt Style On-Like Flank the fireplace and these cleverly treated as a unit by alloped wood valence which is to soften the straight lines the combed plywood and open arms. Arm reds and yellows with touches of greys and greens been used in the comfortable postered furniture and in plant-amps and accessories around room. The house has been built on a decent slab and its coldness is used by a finish coat of asphalt which in turn has been partly covered with shag rugs. There is room for this two bedroom house to grow in all directions and plans are in progress several more rooms. Meanwhile, a sprawling, vine-rared patio accessible from each door in the living room duty as an extra room. A surrounding fence gives privacy, a roof and luxuriant shrubbery provide shade, and a sprinkler of handmade lounge chairs the rest. Most houses, even today, have been designed and built with little scientific regard to circulation of air. Houses have been and are being built with more concern about heating than cooling, but usually avoiding the problem of fresh air. The reason is obvious. If we want fresh air—just open a window; if we want lots of fresh air—open two, or three windows, and a door or two. The result is immediate, we get lots of fresh air—and often a lot of dust particles; perhaps a few insects, too. Most houses have been built with a design which uses windows and doors for dual purposes; windows for light and air, doors as passageways and air ducts. Is there a better way? We are confident that there is. It appears that your home will be better.
