Utah, Thurs., Dec. 21, 1950 Color Gives Barracks 'New Look' This is the Army, Mr. Jones 1950 style at Westover Field, Mass., where barracks as modern and colorful as model homes are being provided for officers and enlisted men.

The families of Westover en-listed personnel are the first to benefit from the program which calls for construction of rental housing through cooperation with private builders. Rents from range $55 to $85 monthly for en-listed men and officers pay $105. A combination of ranch house and colonial design, the homelike-- ; appearing barracks feature bright colors both inside and out which get away entirely from even the slightest suggestion of military drab.

Bright colors are featured inside and out to give individuality to each dwelling unit. Asphalt shingle roofs in five basic colors set the tone for the various color schemes. Hardwood veneer flush doors, as shown in the efficiently planned kitchen, are used exclusively as they are easy to maintain as well as good looking.

As the roofs are highly visible and are the largest single un-- ; broken areas to meet the eye, the asphalt shingle roofs in five basic colors green, brown, slate, red and black set the tone for the various color schemes. Only after deciding on the roof color did Miss West select the colors to harmonize with the roof in the siding, trim and accent colors, j The light, cheerful, carefully-- ! planned kitchens feature modern j appliances, gaily-figure- d wall pa-- ! pers and attractive floor cover- - mgs. The handsomely - grained flush doors of hardwood veneer ; and the carefully-style- d cabinets and counter tops are easy to clean and to keep clean. There are no hard-to-get-- at corners to collect dirt and grease. Both inside and out, the accent is on color. A typical color scheme designed by Miss West begins with a medium green asphalt shingle roof. Siding is of a similar shade of green. The trim is a creamy or "warm white" and the accent color, on front and rear doorways, is either coral or ba-nana yellow. Accent colors in other exterior color schemes are rose, cerise, ming and regency. Miss West says that the color schemes are popular with the wives of servicemen. "They seem to go for the plan which calls for chartreuse accent," she adds. The barracks have picture win-dows facing what someday will be a tree-line- d courtyard, closets with sliding doors and radiant whaeramttihngup tshyrsoteumgsh thwehifclohor.pEuvs-h ery apartment has a garage, fac-ing the street.

MIS Brings Play Thursday To Delta Audience An exceptionally prepared cast headed by Marlene Ekins and n Tanner in the romantic leads received much praise for their fine performance in "Headed for Eden", the Hinckley high school play. The play was given in two matinees and a night performance in Hinck-ley. Thursday night, Dec. 21, the play will be given in Delta . Six girls make their home in Mrs. Skipworth's rooming house, in Chi-cago. Each of the girls have pro-blems of their own, but when Kate Roberts finds herself in trouble the others all put their heads to-gether and try to help. Kate's bro-ther, Bob is accused of hit and run driving and faces a jail sentence if the real criminal can't be found. The amusing mistakes made by the amateur detectives in their efforts to clear Bob offers a bright touch of humor to the play. The comedy drama will be pre-sented in the Delta high school auditorium Thursday, Dec. 21, be-- I ginning at 8 o'clock. A. L Auxiliary Officers Meet In Salt Lake Mrs. Maxine Bishop, president, and Mrs. Louise Sly, secretary of the Auxiliary of American Legion Post 117, were among the ninety presidents and secretaries of the American Legion Auxiliary in Utah who attended the annual confer-ence held at the Hotel Utah Sat-urday. Guest speakers were Mrs. M. E. Leavitt, Las Vegas, Nev., national vice chairman, and Mrs. Eve Ash- - ton, Vernal, national Americanism chairman. Mrs. Leavitt stated "American mothers have had a ' change of heart, and realize un-iversal military training must bs adopted as a measure to save lives." Mrs. Ashton discussed sub- - versive activities and the national plan for Americanism. ."" Mrs. Bishop, community servlct 5 chairman of the Department of'" Utah, outlined the community ser-vice program to be followed for the coming year.

Purchase your tickets from mem-bers of the organ committee and enjoy this play. M Q. Can linoleum be painted? A Yes. Any good grade of floor paint or floor enamel should be satisfactory. Two coats prob-ably will be needed. Before paint-ing, the linoleum must be cleaned thoroughly. Paint won't stick to 'grease or wax. Q Will painting damage wood veneer? A Not at all, but why paint it? Hardwood veneers are carefully cut to reveal all the natural beauty of the wood grain. A finish that will protect the wood without hiding the grain is usually con-sidered best. Wood veneer can be finished with wax, stain and var-nish, shellac, lacquer or any other standard wood finishing material. Q Porch floor boards some-times are painted before they are put in place. Why? A If only the top is painted, moisture will enter the boards through the unpainted surfaces. Eventually some of this moisture will collect under the paint and cause it to blister. Painting all the surfaces, including the hid-den ones, keeps moisture out, and the paint will last much longer. Q Will a chimney spark ar-rester eliminate the possibility of chimney fires? A No. Sparks come from many other sources, too. Sparks from other chimneys are still danger-ous, and flaming sparks from out-door fires of any kind can be car- - ried hundreds of yards by the wind. A roof of as-phalt shingles is always an ad-visable safeguard. Q. What causes stucco to crack? A There are three possibilities. Stucco might crack if the house settles. Improper mixing or ap-plication of the stucco could be another reason. A third cause is that the lath, or other base on which the stucco has been applied, has moved. Metal lath, instead of wood, should always be used in stuceo work. If moisture pene- - trates to wood lath, it will ex-pand. Q How can a paper lamp shade be cleaned? A Sponge the shade with skim milk. The milk won't penetrate the paper as much as water would.

Sittel, Jr., suggests that the Chronicle publish weather reports. He writes that he and several other sub-scribers there are interested in farming and weather conditions in this area. We can easily grant them that favor, as every week the Chronicle gets a U. S. Dept. of Commerce weather report from Deseret. We used to publish them and then let it go, not knowing that the local weather would be of inteerst to many out of this area. Of course, we TALK a lot about the weather, especially of late ab-out the fog. But we can't really claim that is unusual, for in the files of 40 years ago this week, the Chronicle reports four days of fog. We have had five now. The weather as reported 'for last week was: Dec. 11, highest temperature 50, lowest 18, clear; Dec. 12, high 51, low 19, clear; Dec. 13, high 43, low 22, cloudy; Dec. 14, high 42, low 25, precipitation .08 inches, cloudy; Dec. 15, high 50 low 24, clear; Dec. 16 high 42, low 21, cloudy; Dec. 17, high 34, low 28, precipitation, .04 inches, cloudy. Precipitation reported so far in December has been .26 inches.
