Show Modernized Home Keeps Civil Wat Era Charm Remodeling brought this home up to date without losing any of its Civil War era charm. Despite its old style of archi-tecture, small rooms and incon-venient layout, relates Practical Builder magazine, the house was made completely modern inside and out. An unusual feature of this modernization project was the construction of the garage and breezeway of the same odd-siz-sand and clay brick as contained in the original building. An ade-quate supply of this obsolete brick was obtained and by purchasing dismantling another build-ing erected in the Civil War pe- riod. In this way, the addition was made to look like a part of the original structure. The problem of how to remove the "undesirable" front porch without making the front of the house look bare was solved by taking away the porch superstruc- ture and leaving the stone foun-dation and railing. This provides a patio for flower planting and a place for relaxation. At the same time, the house 'was made weathertight by ap-plication of a new roof of nt asphalt shingles. Asphalt shingles in a subdued color were selected to "reduce the height" of the house to give it a more compact appearance. Bright-colore- d asphalt shingles are often used to give squatty houses an appearance of greater height. The " ' - I ! 4&W Modernization achieved new styl-ing of exterior of the home above while retaining its original sim-plicity and charm as shown in picture at left. Addition of breeze-wa- y and garage and new roof of asphalt shingles give house new beauty and color, and its appear-ance also was improved by re-moval of stone porch superstruc-ture. roof color is the dominating note in exterior color planning. Improvements also included re-location of the front entrance and numerous interior alterations. Re-placing a closed stairway, new stairs and baluster, finished in mahogany, blend nicely with the new mahogany vertically planked interior of the living room. Tastefully decorated through- - out to accentuate its classic sim-plicity and beauty, the house pro-vides an excellent example of what can be done to combine the best features of "new" and "olJl" in home modernization. 0f PetdancU 9ttefied Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Webb and sons, Gary and Herbert, and Mr and Mrs. Fred Skeem drove to Heber City Sunday and attended the Thacker reunion there on Mon-day.

Fewer Roof Conflagrations Reflect j Wide Use of Fire-Resista- nt Materials . y r - V 1, ' i I f " 5 V - Flammable roofing has dropped to fourth place in the United States and Canada, as a cause of conflagrations. Flammable roofing was ' the largest single contributing factor to conflagrations in the United :States and Canada in the first quarter of this century, reports the National Fire Protection As-sociation, but dropped to fourth place in 1926-5- Terming this significant, the NFPA says the decline of flam-mable roofing as a source of con-' flagrations in the last 25 years reflects the increasing use of nt roof coverings, such as asphalt shingles which now pro- - tect most American homes. Forty-fou- r conflagrations, de-stroying large numbers of build- - ' ings and covering wide areas, which occurred during 1901-192- 5 were attributed to flammable roof-ing, or 25 percent of the 173 major fires. Flammable roofing in the last 25 years is listed as contributing to 21 conflagrations, or 10 percent of the total. Leading causes of such fires now are high wind, in-adequate water distribution sys- - ' terns and lack of exposure protec-tion (unprotected openings in buildings).

Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Emma Nielson, 83 years young matron of Leamington ,has joined the Society of Ditch Jumpers Who Didn't make It and she did it the hard way. Most of those attempt-ing to jump a ditch jump, or try to jump, across the narrowest part, but not so Emma.She tried to jump it lengthways and even at her young age tried to do a double back flip flop. It all came about when Emma decided the lawn needed a little water at her home in Leamington, so she went out to pull a headgate She gave a fairly good tug on the gate, but failed to budge it, and so not realizing her own strength gave a lusty pull that freed the gate, and also was Emma's undo-ing. She did the nicest flip flop ever witnessed in that fair town, only hers was a little different from the one where you land stan-ding on your feet, while the aud-ience claps vigorously; hers ended up with her flat in the ditch on her back, arms and legs akimbo, while the water tried to run ar-ound her and do its duty to the lawn. While Emma lay there collect-ing her thoughts, she decided that possibly she was getting stronger these days or she couldn't have given such a mighty tug on the gate. Also she figured that next time she would put a length of hose in her mouth before pulling the gate, so that when she got on her back with the water running over her face she would be able to breath under water, provided she had a length of hose sufficient to reach to the top of the water. All these thoughts raced through her mind while she basked in the luke warm water, when suddenly she realized someone might have seen her backward dive, Hurriedly she got to her feet and made fast tracks to the house and dry clothes As she opened the door she was confronted by the woman who rents an apartment 'from her, and this woman could only see the fun ny side of Emma leap and landing, and was splitting he'r sides with laughter, but suddenly sobered and went straight-face- d when Emma said, "I can't see anything funny about that at all." It strikes me that Emma's remark will go down in history as the height of under statement. Glen Crawford also had trouble with water this past week and ended up rather Sgnominiously. It seems that Glen and the Christen-sen boys were in Idaho viewing their cattle, at least that is the story they told when they left. But we find our cattlemen stret-ched full length on the bank of a river there and seeing all that water decided to have a little wat-- 1 er fight. Well, boys will be boys, and things lead from one to another until Cleo got a little irked at the way Glen was tossing words and water about and so grabbing Glen by the heels dragged him into the river as far as he could wade while Glen held on to his new ten gal-lon hat and slid out into the wat-er resembling the launching of a submarine. It is reported that Glen stood up and the water came to his arm pits and there he stood still hold-ing his hat and wondering if Cleo had calmed down enough for him to wade out. It is also reported that it was a ten gallon hat for sure, because when Glen waded out he drained his clothes into his hat and found that the hat did hold a full and generous ten gal-lons. Glen went into town where he ' had a room with a bath, and ex- -' changed for a room without a bath as he was good for a week with the soaking he had taken even no ' soap entered the picture. Cleo is also going bathless for a short time as he says the Idaho water cleans you better than the Utah water. Maybe instead of taking trips to see their cattle in the future these two boys will go to Idaho to take a bath. With the scarcity of water in southern Utah it seems like a good idea to me to use Idaho water, ev-en if one does get a little smelly between trips. Toots.
