Mr. Betenson has had national recognition for pioneering the re-moval of sagebrush and restoring depleted range lands thru reseed-ing. Two years ago he received a meritorious promotion for outstand ing accomplishment in reseeding work. Among other achievements, Mr. Betenson developed reseeding equipment which speeded up re-moval of sagebrush .His success in converting big areas of Utah sage brush lands to grass has attracted attention of livestock operators and land administrators thru-ou- t the west. Regional Forester Rice stated that superivsor Betenson's exper-ience, ability, and range improve-ment knowledge all are needed on a regional basis, as the range im-provement program is being ex-panded. Mr. Betenson entered the Forest Service as Forest Ranger in 1920. He served on the Beaver, Salina and Fishlake Ranger Districts of the present Fishlake Forest from 1920 to 1928.

Science ForestaliT Termites, Fungi; Wood Lasts Longer Termites and in fungi cause damage estimated J more than 50,000,000 a year K science is now making it L, ' tively easy to protect hr" against these forces, can Builder magazines. aysCf One common method of trolling termites is to place mt,i con shields between the founds; ' masonry and the wood res iZ on the foundation. These shipin are not intended to kill termites but to force them out in the od where they can be seen and d? stroyed. Another way of controlling termites is to use chemical nr servatives. Wood treated with th better kinds of commercial n servatives also is resistant to fun" gi, American Builder explains Fungi and the most destructive varieties of termites require moi? tura in order to exist. American Builder consequently recommends using only well-season- ed lumber and providing adequate ventila tion as means of preventing ex cessive moisture condensation -- A PREHISTORIC PEOPLES Wl ) X'J'f BELIEVED SOULS OF 3tW!

But a house of that kind at Bethesda, Mi is serving a vital purpose in keep-ing the home building industry at peak productive capacity. American Builder magazine says the miniature home is being constructed in a classroom by students of the apprentice train-in- g school of the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Was-hington. To teach students a var-iety of skills, different materials are used for each wall of the building. Mr. and Mrs. J. Avery Bishop j have word of the birth of a new grandchild, the baby boy born to Mr. and Mrs Frank Bishop in Springville on Dec. 1.

CHIMNEY BETTER INSIDE A chimney built on the inner side of a wall ordinarily will draw better than a chimney on the outer side, says American Builder magazine. Millard County Chronicle j S Delta.Utah, Thurs.. Dec. 8,1949 President Born in Salt-Bo- x fjvdi kt Ml y x, s 3 By Ewing Galloway, N. Y. This house, the birthplace and home of John Quincy Adam's, the sixth President, still stands in Quincy, Mass. A true example of the salt-bo- x style of architecture, the house has a long sloping roof coming close to the ground in the rear. The roof now is covered with nt asphalt shingles like those protecting modern American homes. Sidewalls are clapboard and, for color contrast, the trim is painted white. Built about 1663, the house was restored in 1896. Oasis Mrs La Veda Bishop The Junior Girls held their Rose Membership evening Nov. 29.

Check Closely On Structure Of Old House Before buying an old house, make sure it is structurally sound. The foundation, the roof and the framing should be checked closely to determine whether expensive repairs would be necessary. Settling of a foundation usually can be detected by plaster cracks in interior walls. Most founda-tions will have settled slightly, but this is not serious provided the settling stopped after a few years. Big new plaster cracks, how-ever, indicate that the settling has not stopped. Uneven floors, stick-ing doors and sagging door frames are other signs of severe founda-tion weakness. From Within the basement, check the foundation walls for cracks and for damp-ness. An easy way to inspect the roof Is to examine the underside of the roof deck. If the roof leaks, there probably will be water stains on the deck sheathing. Water marks and paint blisters on ceilings and walls sometimes are caused by a leaky roof, too. If the roof deck is sound, the condition of the roofing material on an old house is not of prime importance, because reroofing is not expensive. Asphalt shingles, which also add the new charm of color to an old dwelling, ordi-narily can be used for reroofing without removing the worn cov-ering. When inspecting the framing, look first at the joists. Light joists indicate the framing is flimsy throughout the house. Check sills for termites and "dry rot." Make sure framing is nailed properly. This can be checked in the basement. If the cross braces between joists are nailed solidly, is usually can be assumed that nailing in other parts of t'- - ise lcn ia fiAtiofAotoxv Li Trade in Allowance on your old I Battery on any style oS Hew I GC&ODYEAE .

Then test your color ideas by coloring tue photographs with crayons or water colors, using a different combination of colors on each photograph. The color will be easier to apply if the prints are made on matt-surfac- ed paper, rather than glossy. Remember that the present trend in home styling is to use color freely and imaginatively. Sidewalls must not always be White. For the roof, an exception-ally wide range of solid and blended asphalt shingle colors is available. Don't neglect the color possibilities of doors, window sash, shutters, trim, flower boxes and chimneys. Uncle Sam Says ' Take a good look at that plane, Dad! It's the "Flying Cartoonist" and it's carrying a group of Amer-icans who are doing their "bit," a great big "bit" for their country. The passengers are some of our top-flig- cartoonists, every one of whom has helped to sell U. S. Sav-ings Bonds, using their comic strips to emphasize the old Amer-ican principle of thrift. And they practice what they preach, real-izing that the regular purchase of TJ. S. Savings Bonds is the one sure way to save. And Savings Bonds pay you $4 for every $3 invested, in just ten years. U.
