Show Millard county Chronicle , Ma, Utah, Thurs., Oct. 18, 1951: Asphalt Roof Adds Color, Protects Home Built in 1685 ... y ,rjf,fit.v JkKL-- I This historic dwelling:, built in 1685, is known as "The House With Orange Shutters," and for protection and color contrast has a dark blue asphalt shingle roof and white sidewalls. "The House with Orange Shut-ters," built at Ipswich, Mass., in 1685, is one of the fine old Colo-nial dwellings featured in "A Treasury of Early American Homes," the popular and color-fully illustrated volume by Rich-ard Pratt. The oblong, two - and - a - half story residence has been restored to its original state by Mr. and Mrs. Roy L. Bulger who acquired the historic property in 1941. The restoration proved to be an enor-mous task, but they set to work at once to uncover the huge clay-bric- k fireplaces which in earlier days provided the only facilities for heating and cooking. Newer flooring, laid over the original, was removed to get down to the old, wide floor boards, characteris-tic of early Colonial homes. The old boards, still in excellent condi-tion, were sanded, waxed and polished to a rich, glossy finish. The false ceiling was taken down in the great hall room which the Bulgers have renamed the Ips-wich room to reveal the sturdy, hand-hew- n beams supporting the original ceiling, and paint was re-moved from wall paneling which then could be rubbed down to a mellow, soft finish which gives warmth and a sense of well-bein- g to the cozy interior. Also exposed were the fine "gun stock" beama throughout the house. A new roof was required, and the Bulgers were just as careful in selecting the roof as they were in restoring the interior of this historical old landmark to its original beauty and charm. They knew the "look" of the new root was important, just as it was im-portant to select a nt roof and one which would give weather-tigh- t protection and pre- serve this fine example of early Colonial architecture. The dark blue asphalt shingles they select-ed enhance the beauty of the stately old home and provide a pleasing contrast to the white sidewalls and chimney and the orange shutters. Its early beauty and charm re-stored, this fine old home pro-vides all the comforts and con-veniences of any modern home. In the latter respect, of a Colonial home remodeling in New Eng land is no different than remodel ing'a house anywhere else th same results often can be achieves in modernizing a farm home, foi example, or an urban residence wherever it mav be.

The young couple will make a home in San Diego, where Mr. Killpack is stationed with the U. S. navy. Highway 6 but this can't be traveled. It takes a course around the south of Saw Tooth mountain but the excellent roadway heads into miles of new construction. Ray Gillis, Utah State Road En-gineer, recently reported to one of the early highway enthusiasts at Delta, former County Commission-er Will Killpack. The Clyde Con-struction Co., it was promised, would have the remaining 33 Vi miles graded, graveled and ready for travel by January 1, weather permitting. The company has until next sum mer to complete the job, but it is believed the plantmix asphalt will be applied as soon as weather permits in the spring. This will complete the remain-ing link of one of America's most important transcontinental high -- ways and the shortest from coast to coast. Recent improvements have step-ped up travel during the past sum-mer despite the 51 miles of old roadway around the north of the mountains. Strangers who are. ir-ritated unless they drive on boule-vards, say the rocks tear their tires to pieces, wreck their springs. Others said the old road isn't so bad. A Fallon man, with some mis-givings, recently tackled this stret-ch starting ten miles west of Delta. Had he hit up to 50 to 60 mph he might have had tire trouble. Tak-ing the 51 miles in stride he made It in 1 hour, 33 minutes - - a considerable time saving rather than the extra 120 miles way way of Salt Lake City. Instead of the barren desert was-tes expected, the trip from the Delta alfalfa seed growing empire ' to the state line was scenic, in the grandeur of towering cliffs, spectacular geological formations and amazing distances. This area has been nationally publicized in magazine articles by Frank Beck-- with, Sr., publisher of the Delta Chronicle who died three months ago. In anticipation of more travel with completion of U. S- - 6, new motels are going up in towns al-ong the route and others connect-ing In Nevada. Spanish Fork has top-not- motor courts with more in prospect. Mr. Will Killpack in Delta has a hostelry for tourists that is equalled in but few larger centers in the West. Another motel there is due for early construction. Ely has a supply of hotels and motels to satisfy the most partic-- , ular travelers. Charley Mc Kay of Fallon, Dixie Valley and Eureka is building a group of apartments for tourists. The King Motel at Austin, where there are two hot-els, has made some improvements and another motor court, it is re-ported, is to be built later. Both Fallon and Carson City are well supplied to look after the comfort of travelers, but more may be need ed with the completion of the last link in U. S. 6 with motorists seek-ing the shortest and the more scenic route to the California coast. Mr. and Mrs. Lamont Bennett and family, from Inglewood, Cal., vis-ited in Delta and Deseret Thurs-day and Friday with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Bennett. Wednesday they attended funeral services in Cedar City for a nephew Jack M. Webster, son- of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Webster. He was killed in Korea on Dec. 9, 1950, and was Cedar's first Korean casualty.

Chatter Box) Dear Suzy, Out the Poulsen way they are keeping the Word of Wisdom and keeping it in a good fashion. Not that they want to but events hap-pened that keep them leading clean lives. It seems that Arch came home the other day and demanded in his usual fashion, a cup of coffee and quick. Norma hastened to ob-lige and put on the coffee pot, the coffee, but not having made much commerce and agriculture. Old men like Dick Peterson and others who are not taking the interest in life they should. It is always a mystery to me why the big hullaballoo to go out in the hills and walk your legs to a nubbin trying to get a deer. A good lamb would be far better, cheaper and besides I don't think the deer do anything bad to hum-ans, if deer hunters can be called humans. This year it is different, though, because the hunters can bang aw-ay at either sex, which gives them the privilege to plaster away at anything that moves, whether they can make out it is a deer or not. It will be tough on the deer, por-cupines and stray cattle, but I doubt any deer hunters will get punctured with high powered bul-lets, because most deer hunters make for a large rock on which to place their posterior, and don't move around any, so they cant' get in the way of ammunition. Of course, there are spme deer hunters who will be shooting at rocks and that will be the only danger I can see to the hunters. Somebody is going to mistake a hunter for a rock and ,he is going l to come home minus some limbs and possibly just minus from the living population. Well, if you got to go you got go, come threshing, business, or anything else that may hinder you, so shoot them in the eye (the deer and not the hunters) and then come home pooped and ready for next year when you are really go-ing to get that big one. Toots. coffee in her life for Arch, forgot the water. Arch sat there for some time waiting for the pot to boil and waiting for his coffee, but the pot didn't come to a boil, al-though it was putting out a lusty aroma. Norma gave the coffee plenty of time to cook and picked up the pot from the stove and in doing so left a puddle of metal on the stove, which had formerly been the bottom of the coffee pot. It seems that the pots they make these days aren't as strong as they formerly were and they have ,to have water in them to keep them from melting away, so now Normal has a bottomless coffee pot on her hands and nothing to use if for, unless she makes some extra big cookies and uses the old pot to cut them out. It would make a perfect cookie cutter, because when the cookie was al cut out you could shove your hand down through the top and push the cookies out without them sticking. She could get a patent on it but I don't think she will because Arch was so angry at missing his coffee that the pot has been sent to the junk pile along with other discarded implements. Now while the rest of the 'family is keeping the Word of Wisdom, Arch, is sneaking over to the neigh-bors and getting a little coffee on the sly. ' Well, this is the, week of the great exodus to the hills, wherein all able bodied men, and some women, go out in search of a deer, that is if they can see that good after the effects of the Deer Hun-ters Dance. Present reports are that only old men will be left around here to oil the wheels of Bible Talks At Com. Church Ray Hauenstine, minister and will conduct Bible talks at the Delta Community Church every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday ev-ening, at 8 p. m., it was announced today. These Bible talks are to help any and all to have a better under-standing ' of the Bible, and the purpose of life. They will be most ly centered around, the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. J Mr. and Mrs. Oak Dutson and daughter, Noleen, made a trip over the week end through Bryce and Zion canyons, and visited at Pan-guit-with Mr. and Mrs. Glen Hortin. |
