$10,000,000 Now Going in 1952 Biggest Home Building Year in Anaheim's History The year 1952 promises to be a big housing year in Anaheim. The biggest home building program in modern times is well underway within the city limits or in areas to be incorporated into the city this year. At the beginning of this month some $10,000,000 was going into new homes or is slated for new homes to be construction within a short time. Out of this construction program will come more than 800 new dwellings. Sales of new homes are fairly brisk. Buying them are Anaheimers who want a new home, men and women coming into Anaheim if the wake of new industries, and some folks who live in the fringe areas of Los Angeles and want to move to a more liveable part of Southern California. The homes now being built in Anaheim are averaging in price around $12,000, with a down payment of $1500 or over. Surveys taken in local industrial plants indicate that the price is not out of reach of the average salary of their employees. LARGEST SINGLE building program in Anaheim is that of Bonded Homes which is putting up homes in the northeastern and eastern areas of the city at a rapid rate. Bonded is now in the midst of a $5,000,000 program to construct 450 homes in Anaheim. The homes under construction by Bonded Homes have three bedrooms (or two bedrooms and den) with two baths. Planting and landscaping are already when the family moves into a new home. The dwellings have fireplaces, woodpaneling, glass, doors, steel sash windows, garbage pulverators, electric bathroom heaters, ceramic kitchen drainboards, cove base ooleum in kitchen and bathroom durable and washable paint, papered walls, and many other features. Actual living area in house is 1300 square feet or more. Lots are at least 60 feet wide. Another example of the house developments in Anaheim is Wetland Homes, which is offering dividually designed homes priced at $12,750 to $14,750, on North one block west of N. Palm.

They have fireplaces, forced air heating, well-designed interiors, garbage disposal units, fans in the kitchens, and other attractive features. The homes have two and three bedrooms with 1½ baths in the three bedroom homes. THE 800 NEW homes now on the horizon for Anaheim will go a long way toward taking care of Anaheim's estimated housing need for this year. Surveys indicate that Anaheim will require from 1000 to 1200 new homes before the first of next year to take care of the people who will want to move into Anaheim. Included in these homes, it is hoped, will be some priced as low as $8500, but generally averaging below $11,000. However, there also is a demand for houses in the $20,000 class. There seems enough demand, in fact, that the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, city officials, and local real estate people are trying to carve out a chunk of Anaheim where people can build expensive homes and be assured the spacious nature of their property will be protected. As it is, some people with larger amounts of money to invest in a home, feel they have no assurances that their property will be adequately isoated in Anaheim—and consequently, they have obtained homes outside of Anaheim, principally in the hills of Pullerton. Many of these people want grounds of 10,000 square feet or over. Among the people moving to the hills are those who prefer hilly home sites; consequently, they locate on the hills although their loyalties are completely with Anaheim. ONE DEMAND that probably won't be satisfied is the quest of several families for rental units. It is estimated that about 14 per cent of the families who would move to Anaheim to work in local business firms would rent homes or apartments, if they could find them. Most of these people would prefer two-bedroom quarters with monthly rentals averaging around $65. Rental housing apparently is in high demand because many of the new arrivals in Anaheim cannot right off the bat pay what they consider the high down payment required before they can move into a new home. A few of the younger married breadwinners who will man the new Anaheim industries, it is pointed out, have had too large outlays for family expenses and the window announcement is for rent—and the price is listed as for rent at a high rent that they are slow to rent. It is figured that a who rents a house much later in rent for every profit on his investment means $120 a month home costing $12,000. Real estate people that people who have to pay high rent usually buy a home of their own. Even so, Anaheim has a lot of folks into the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, real estate professionals, other interested in not only keeping close to the supply and demanding in Anaheim, but are sustained program goals people the advantages in Anaheim.

WHITE Gasette Home Economist Comon sense, not fancy, is the best guide in interior decoration. If you are about to remodel your home, or build a new one, here are a few do's and don'ts from the opinions of leading decofators. The experts insist that practicality is the most important consideration, not only because it is kindest to the budget, but also because it adapts home interiors to the actual living needs of a family. Do have easy-to-clean surfaces in your home. Practical materials come in charming colors for walls, floors and work counters which promise long wear without sacrificing smartness. Don't go hog-wild on a furniture buying spree. Make a careful audit of the possessions you already have and decide which old pieces may be refinished, slip covered or repaired. You may be surprised how much money you can save this way. Do keep the rooms simple. This is especially true in small rooms which are likely to take on a cluttered air if there are too many lamps, too "busy" a drapery or floor covering pattern, or too many bric-a-brac pieces around. Let color and line do the job of creating a pleasing unit. Don't be afraid of bare walls and floors. If they have lovely color to form a background for furniture and draperies, that is enough for a while until you can afford really good paintings and rugs. Do consider the proportions of a room in selecting colors for it. A dark color will "bring down" a too-high ceiling. A dark wall will make a long, narrow room seem more square. Rental housing apparently is in high demand because many of the new arrivals in Anaheim cannot right off the bat pay what they consider the high down payment required before they can move into a new home. A few of the younger married breadwinners who will man the new Anaheim industries, it is pointed out, have had too large outlays for family expenses and the cost of getting settled. Consequently, their first thought is to try to find a place to rent. Realtors in Anaheim, however, say that they hardly ever handle rentals. If a person has a place to rent he merely has to put a sign in MORE ABOUT TV Trouble (Continued from Page 18) breaks. They are very nice socks, argyle pattern. Television reached its fourth phase with us, however, when we all started having violent reactions to certain types of entertainment. One member of the family suddenly couldn't stand comedians. I was infected with an unreasoning hatred of production song numbers, and the sight of a girl or boy cooner caused me to run up and shut off the set. Still another member of the family couldn't stay in the room while a panel show boxing match or horse opera was in progress. Naturally, all of these allergies interfered with our enjoyment of the set. In fact, it actually caused some rather unpleasant arguments in the family unit. Recently, about the only thing we could all bear to see wege news commentaries. We plugged in the reading lamp the night I discovered that all the things the commentator was saying were items I could read myself right there in my own newspaper. In a few weeks we may give ourselves a little test on television again. But meanwhile things are awfully nice and quiet at home. We haven't been entertained for about 48 hours now and instead of feeling underprivileged, we feel virtuous, well-rested and clear-eyed. and floors.

THE FEW NEW houses which are listed as for rent demand such a high rent that they sometimes are slow to rent. It is figured that a home owner who rents a house must get a dollar in rent for every $100 in cost in order to realize six per cent profit on his investment. That means $120 a month rent for a home costing $12,000 to build. Real estate people point out that people who have the means to pay high rent usually prefer to buy a home of their own. Even so, Anaheim could lure a lot of folks into the city if there was an adequate supply of $50 to $65 a month rentals. The housing situation is not going uncharted in Anaheim. The Chamber of Commerce, city officials, real estate people, and other interested in housing are not only keeping close tabs on the supply and demand of housing in Anaheim, but are keeping a sustained program going to show people the advantages of living in Anaheim. Rex Coons, builder of commercial properties in this area, is chairman of the Chamber of Commerce housing committee, while Barney Jordan, local banker, heads the live-in-Anaheim committee.
