Etchison didn't let the housing shortage get him down. Single-handed he went to work and built a brand new home, 45 "blocks" long and 33 "blocks" wide. Neighbors call it the "Kindle- low," because it is a bungalow made from kindling. The dwelling was constructed from eight-inch square blocks sold by a local lumber yard as firewood. Etchison and his wife were living at their daughter's home two years ago when he conceived the idea of building a place of his own. But materials were scarce and high-priced. Then Etchison learned that the lumber yard had thousands of good white pine blocks. They had been purchased originally by the huge Iowa ordnance plant here during dur-ing the war for use in shipping fuses and other ordnance parts. Etchison decided to build a "block house" when the lumber yard offered of-fered him all he wanted at $6 to $3 a ton. Two Tears Later, a Home. He began in August, 1945, work ing in his spare time. Two years and 26,000 wooden blocks later he used 22 tons alto getherhe had a complete three- room house, a garage, a brooder and a henhouse for the family's flock of 100 chickens. His "Kindlelow" is a home many a young bride, weary of cramped wartime housing, would love to move into. "I designed the place as I wentj along," said Etchison. "The only' help I had was from my wife. There wasn't any waste. Any blocks that couldn't be used for building made good firewood." Among novel features of the "Kin dlelow," which measures 22 by 30 feet, is a cement root Etchison, a cement finisher, rebelled against buying conventional roofing material ma-terial because of its expense. "The cement roof is standing up well," he said, "and we don't have to worry about the block walls warping out of shape either. The wood is well seasoned. The house'll last as long as we have any need of it." The Etchisons lived in the ga rage while the "Kindlelow" was rising ris-ing and Mrs. Etchison bordered it with 25 kinds of flowers. "We moved in and had our first meal here last Mother's Day," said Mrs. Etchison. "I call it our 'dime house' because every time we got a dime we invested in another section of wall." Made Nice Floor. The blocks were cemented and nailed together. Sanded, stained and varnished, they made a beautiful parquet floor. Etchison doesn't think his "Kindlelow" will ever really be finished. He still has a pile of several hundred blocks and wants now to add a front and back porch and other units. "I never built a house before," he smiled, "but I've done considerable patching." He estimated that altogether he had spent between $2,000 and $3,000 on the house and its buildings. "People wouldn't think it would run that much," he said, "but kin dling costs money, too, nowadays. And you have to buy all kinds of other things." The Etchisons live alone in the "Kindlelow" with Shrimp, their spitz dog and "two or three cats that stay around." "Our seven children are all mar ried and gone," said Mrs. Etchison. She likes to show her home to visi tors who come many miles to see it And she is proud of a remark made by one elderly visitor about Etchi-son's Etchi-son's handiwork: "It just goes to show what you can do if you really want to."

Russia has restricted re-stricted the amount of goods United States diplomats may import into the U.S.S.R. duty free and this may force a reduction in the Moscow embassy staff. Ambassador Walter Bedell Smith said. Smith, who returned re-turned from Moscow for "routine consultations," told newsmen the new rules may curb shipments of food for the embassy staff. He added, add-ed, however, that talks on relaxing the regulations have been "satisfactory." ewer Burned Fingers Show They Are Getting Wise. CHICAGO. The American house wife isn't burning her fingers on the kitchen stove as much this year as last. That's because she's becoming increasingly educated on home safety, Thomas Fansler, director of the home safety division of National Safety council, said. But even so, Fansler said, fatal home accidents will show about an 8 per cent rise this year over last. Home fatalities will rise from 33,700 last year to around 35,000 this year, Fansler predicted. "The kitchen remains the most dangerous room in the home," he said. The hazard of the bar of soap in the bathtub is largely a fable of cartoonists, Fansler indicated. Because, Be-cause, he said, figures show the bathroom is the safest room in the house. Fansler said the increase in home accidents involves children under 5 and adults of the old-age group. Men have almost as many acci dents at home as women and they're not at home nearly as much. Fansler said that is because women know the foibles of the house better. 'A woman knows when her skillet has a loose handle, but when a man goes into the kitchen to fix his breakfast, he gets burned with it" said Fansler. The safety executive will call for greater emphasis this year on bet ter home designing. That's where home safety be gins on the blue prints." he said. Prayers for College Loan Halted by Call About Check OKLAHOMA CITY, QKLA. A slip-up in the date of a benefit collection left the Southwest Pentecostal Pen-tecostal Holiness college facing a $10,000 loan payment with only $7,000 on hand. The Rev. R. O. Corvin went calling and came back with $1,000. Then he talked it over with the students, and they contributed con-tributed $138, all they had. That left a deficit of still nearly $2,000, and Mr. Corvin called for prayers. They were interrupted by a long-distance telephone call. A friend of the church, who withheld with-held his name, said a check for $2,000 was in the mail. The prayers were resumed on a note of thanksgiving. Six Simple Rules Listed For Saving Fuel Dollars MINNEAPOLIS. American householders can save millions of dollars and help to avert any possible pos-sible fuel emergency by adopting a simple, six-point program of fuel conservation this winter, according to Thomas mcDonald, vice presi dent of Minneapolis-Honeywell Reg ulator company. "Six time-tested rules can be the means of saving up to 50 per cent of the fuel budget in many homes," McDonald said. '"With mounting costs, this is important from an eco nomic standpoint. It also will be im portant from the point of comfort, if any emergency should arise." McDonald urged adoption of these six points: 1. Prevent overheating and maintain main-tain uniform temperature. Keep daytime temperature as low as pos sible consistent with comfort about 70 and lower the thermostat set ting at night. If you have a clock thermostat, it can be set to turn the heat down and up automatically. 2. Turn off heat in unoccupied rooms, including bedrooms during the day. Keep shades drawn and keep windows closed at night 3. Do not waste hot water. 4. Install storm windcyvs and repair re-pair or close openings around doors and windows to effect complete insulation. in-sulation. 5. Replace missing boiler or furnace fur-nace insulation. Insulate the hot water heater. 6.
