KIDS CONCUR WITH THE EXPERTS Floors of Oak Win Wide Favor Younger members of the household, like the railroaders above, look with approval upon the growing popularity of hardwood as a home flooring material. Uncovered hardwood floors, many generations of children have found, are ideal for indoor play. Durable and easily cleaned, they provide play-level protection against cold and dampness. Builders report floors of oak rate high on the list of "most wanted" home features for 1953. A recent large-scale survey showed they are preferred by 83 per cent of prospective home owners, 80 per cent of architects, 86 per cent of housing contractors and 96 per cent of real estate men. Interior decorators are encouraging home owners to utilize the natural beauty of uncovered oak in room planning. They point out that a gleaming oak floor blends perfectly with any color plan. It also is a harmonizing influence when furniture of different periods is used in the same room. Oak Sets Pace as Homes Stress Floor Styling Today's swing to more informal living, coupled with the trend toward open planning of homes, has sparked a lively new interest in noted for the ease with which they can be kept clean and sparkling.

More and more homemakers are putting the natural beauty of oak and other hardwoods to practical use in their decorative plans by leaving relatively large expanses of the wood uncovered. To set off its beauty and add balance to rooms, handsome accent rugs are employed. The growing acceptance of this new mode of room planning, experts point out, has served to sharpen the preference for floors of oak, the historic favorite for American homes. Evidencing this increased popularity are trade figures showing that demand for oak flooring last year was greater in proportion to the number of new homes than in the record home building year of 1950. The trend is continuing this year, with shipments in the major producing areas for the first two months exceeding those for the corresponding period last year. Survey Shows Oak Preferred Another barometer is the report of a recent extensive survey. Researchers found that floors of oak were the choice of 83 per cent of prospective home owners. Oak also won the vote of 80 per cent of the architects questioned, 88 per cent of the contractors and 96 per cent of the real estate agents. By way of contact, it should be recalled that years ago only the better class homes were equipped with floors of oak. Such floors were considered a luxury. Today they are found even in the majority of low and moderately priced cwellings. Decorators point out that oak floors fit well into the prevailing casual approach to living for several reasons. For one thing, they blend well with any type of furnishings, modern or traditional. They serve, too, as a unifying force in the decorative plan. This is an important consideration for homeowners who wish to use furniture pieces of different periods in the same room. A floor of noted for the ease with which they can be kept clean and sparkling. In this respect, they are particularly well adapted to meet the modern homemaker's demand for features which lighten her housework, give her more time for relaxation and hobbies. Cleaned and waxed two or three times a year, a well finished oak floor will remain glistening for long periods. A quick daily dusting is recommended, of course. The special adaptability of oak floors to homes where open planning has been employed is particularly noteworthy. In open planning, fewer walls and doors are used to separate the various rooms. Creating an effect of roominess even in a small home, this arrangement has become increasingly popular in view of today's building costs. Large expanses of polished oak running continuously from one room to the next contribute greatly to the illusion of spaciousness. Exposing the oak also permits substantial savings in floor covering. Other factors share credit for the growing preference for oak floors. Among them are the lifetime durability of the wood, plus the fact that oak floored homes command higher resale prices. Today, some 2,260,000 residence party line telephones are at work; subscribers good service at prices kind to an Decorators point out that oak floors fit well into the prevailing casual approach to living for several reasons.

This is an important consideration for homemakers who wish to use furniture pieces of different periods in the same room. A floor of glistening oak forms a decorative "bridge" linking the variously styled pieces. The mellow beauty of the wood also harmonizes with any combination of colors. This simplifies the problem of color selection. No matter what the color plan, an oak floor will be compatible. Easily Cleaned Additionally, floors of oak are Bus Service Set For Ramona Play For weekend performances of the Ramona play on April 18, 19, 25 and 26 and May 2 and 3, Pacific Electric motor coach service to Riverside will connect with Hemet bus line service direct to Ramona bowl.

Party Lines: Good Service Plans Sharing expensive telephone equipment with others means a lower price to each party line user Every day, we now handle some 18 million telephone conversations—and nearly half of these are carried, quickly and efficiently, over party lines. In fact, seven out of every ten residence telephones in the territory we serve are party line telephones. For Westerners have found that party lines not only mean good service—they mean good service at economy prices. Little wonder, then, that party line service has meant so much to so many telephone users everywhere in the Pacific West. How to make good party line service even better You'll enjoy better service, and you'll be a friendly party line neighbor, if you'll keep these simple points in mind. Always make sure the line is clear before you call. Leave a few minutes between calls when you have a series of them to make. And ask the youngsters not to tie up the line. Someone may be trying to reach you.
