The handsome new home of M. L. Fort and family combines sophistication with informality and friendliness to exemplify the modern California modification of the eastern farmhouse. Its spacious 300 square feet of living area is divided into three bedrooms, three baths, living room, separate dining room, den, sewing room, kitchen and laundry—each with ever-convenience and each pleasantly casual and perfectly charming. Its setting is a two-acre orange grove bordering north West st. Screened from the road by several rows of trees, complete privacy is insured by the placement of small windows at the front and larger glass areas facing the back patio. A black-top driveway leads to the garage which is set at an angle from the house and connected with the main building by means of a breezeway. A picture-esque path of flagstone set in dichondra winds toward the front entryway. To out further carry the farmhouse theme, the exterior of the house combines boards and batten with stucco and used brick in sidewalls topped by a rustic shake shingled roof. Long Low Lines Inside, the lines are long and low, the country flavor accented by early American furnishings and rooms that are really livable. The rooms are coordinated into a unified whole by the basic color green, used in varying soft shades throughout the house. Green has been used on the wood-paneled walls and carpeted floor of the living room and the adjoining dining room. This green background is punctuated only by a red brick planter and the effect is singularly restful. Green-toned provincial patterned wall paper provides the setting for bedroom groupings of solid maple and cherry. Highlights of clear reds and yellows with touches of blue in drapery fabrics, bed spreads and rugs give flair and individuality to each room. Green appears in still a different shade in the kitchen, the center of the service section of the Fort home. The kitchen opens into the breakfast room on one side and to the laundry on the other. Sewing room and bath are nearby. The basic color green carcere, there are some twenty-two horses in the vicinity. A son, Pete, a freshman at Stanford, and a daughter, Zoe, a freshman in high school, have had plenty of company on their frequent rides. When the Fort's were ready to build, their acreage was the perfect home site, and the horses decreed the farmhouse theme. This house with the country flavor has become a welcome haven for M. L. Fort who commutes daily to Los Angeles where he is vice president and general manager of the Pacific Light and Gas Supply Co. Real Estate Firm Incorporated In Anaheim SACRAMENTO.

(AP)—To know what really happened at the very heart of Southern California's big earthquake, man would have to be able to burrow 10 miles into the earth, says Caltech geologist, Dr. John Buwalda. 'Ed' Faulkner Dies Following Surgery Requiem mass was said yesterday morning for William Edward (Ed) Faulkner, 39, widely known West Orange county civic and business leader and a candidate for county supervisor at the June 3 election. Mr. Faulkner died last Friday night at Fullerton general hospital following surgery. Stanton and Buena Park Lion served as pallbearers during the services at St. Pius V church in Buena Park and for interment services at Holy Sepulchre cemetery. The Buena Park American Legion post fired a salute over the grave. Surviving Mr. Faulkner are his widow, Dorothy; a daughter, Pamela, a student at St. Boniface school in Anaheim; his mother Mrs. Louise Ramsberger of Garden Grove, and two sisters, Mrs Mary Bird of Bellflower and Mrs Marjorie Gille of Anaheim. Among Mr. Faulkner's business activities were the presidency of Ring-In Chemical Corp. of Buena Park and Los Angeles, and he was business manager of Signal Hill emergency hospital and the Glasen clinic in Artesia. He had been active in civic affairs of both Stanton and Buena Park. Stanton Man Hurt In Accident Walter R. Teagarden who has been working for the Kaiser Steel Co. at Fontana is in the hospital there. He was hurt Friday morning when one end of 3000 pounds of steel slipped partly off a truck and pinned him to the ground. He has injured bones in his chest but the full extent of the injuries are not known. His wife, Ruby, and two small clear reds and yellows with touches of blue in drapery fabrics, bed spreads and rugs give flair and individuality to each room. Green appears in still a different shade in the kitchen, the center of the service section of the Fort home. The kitchen opens into the breakfast room on one side and to the laundry on the other. Sewing room and bath are nearby. The basic color green carries over from one room to another and blends well with glistening ash-cabinets finished in natural color. Most popular rendezvous in the house is the den, probably because comfortable rattan furniture is tastefully arranged around the television set. Book cases flank a huge fireplace of Roman brick, and straw matting on the floor adds to the spirit of informality. An outdoor patio is accessible through French doors. Special Storage Space Specially designed storage space for Mrs. Fort's house-keeping supplies and equipment are an important feature of the house. In the central hallway is a double size linen closet, a walk-in closet for brooms, vacuum and cleaning supplies, and a version of a cedar closet so large that an extra studio couch is stored there in addition to blankets and wool clothing. The bedrooms are equipped with closets as well as the popular sliding-door wardrobes. One wall of the breakfast room is given over to a floor-to-ceiling built-in hutch with liberal storage space for linens, glassware and silver. Zoned for Horses The family's love for horses is responsible for this country-style estate. The Fort's formerly lived in a smaller neighboring house and purchased this two-acre lot to accommodate their horses. Since land in this section of town is zoned for one horse per half Secret of Quake's Origin 10 Miles Deep in Earth PASADENA. (UP)—To know what really happened at the very heart of Southern California's big earthquake, man would have to be able to burrow 10 miles into the earth, says Caltech geologist, Dr. John Buwalda. He estimates the epicenter—point of origin—of Monday's temblor was in the Tehachapi mountains some 10 miles south of the hard-hit community of Tehachapi. There, beneath the Garlock fault, a long crack in the earth's crust, billions of tons of underground rock must have suddenly joined in opposite directions to relieve a strain, Dr. Buwalda says. Unfortunately for science, he adds, there's no way for man to get 10 miles down for a looksee. Transparent Box Car to be Built LOS ANGELES—A transparent box car is soon to be built by Union Pacific Railroad as a step in the further reduction of freight damage. It then will be loaded with various types of cartons and crates and deliberately subjected to rough handling so that employees can actually see damage being done, and how it can occur. One entire side of the car will be a huge plexiglass window, according to plans disclosed by U.P. President Arthur E. Stoddard at Omaha, where construction soon will begin. When it sets out for a demonstration tour of the company's 10,000 miles of line, the car will have an interior lighting system to better show the effects of switching and other impacts on lading in box cars. In Accident Walter R. Teagarden who has been working for the Kaiser Steel Co. at Fontana is in the hospital there. He was hurt Friday morning when one end of 3000 pounds of steel slipped partly off a truck and pinned him to the ground. He has injured bones in his chest but the full extent of the injuries are not known. His wife, Ruby, and two small children live on Lexintgon st., Stanton.
