Modernize Basement
For Rock 'N Roll. Fans
F'resley may come, and (some
hope!) Presley may go, but
rock 'n' roll will go on forever.
If you don't believe it, think back.
Lo ragtime, the Charleston, Black
Bottom, Swing, each the "rock
'n' roll" of its day. So it may
not always be known as rock 'n'
roll, but one thing is sure ... ,
whatever it is called it will still
be loud!
Is there, any hope? Well, ac-
cording to the Canadian, Insti-
tute of Plumbing and Heating,
while there may be no cure for
the disease, at least there can
be some relief. In many homes,
it has taken the form of the
finished basement. This may be
neither padded nor entirely
soundproofed, but it certainly
does provide a dungeon into
which the ydung fry can be ban-
ished, record player, cokes,
noise and all.

The basement has, in fact, be-
come a definite entity in home
life of late years. Once a dingy
place, in which an oncient fur-
nace huffed out soot and dust,
surrounded by an accumulation
of household junk, and flanked
by an unlovely fuel bin, it. has
become ,a clean, bright living
space, contributing its full share
to the life of the family, and
making a :particular contribu-
tion to leisure living.
This, of course, has become
almost standard equipment in
new homes, but owners of older"
type houses, built two, three and
more decades ago, are convert-
ing their basements in increas-
ing numbers. And almost any
basement can be brought up to
date.
To begin with, new types of
heating plants have made the.
change possible. These new
beauties are so much smaller
than their old-time counter -parts
that -they con be housed in their
own enclosure in a corner of the
basement,• leaving much the lar-
ger portion of underground space
for better uses. Even if a cen-
tral location is essential, the pro-
blem is not difficult, because new
types of heating plants are suf
ficiently well designed to be an
attractive piece of furniture for
the basement play -room in them-
selves.
Finally, it should be remem-
bered that the installation of a
new heating plant not only opens
up the basement space for more
useful purposes, but carries side
bonuses as well in fuel economy,
labour-saving ease of operation
and, of course, the advantage
for which they were really de-
signed in the first place ... .

New Look For Sum er Cottages
Radical Departure From Origiona
Canada's first summer home
looked like Southern plantations
with soaring pillars and broad
open verandas. Our early sunt
rater cottages were homey shel
ters with screened porches. Bu
today contemporary design i
changing things. For instance
the rafters of the Canadian cot
tage pictured right are con
strutted the same as those on
thousands. of Canadian summe
cottages, but the soaring gabs
window and the fact that thi
cottage is all roof are departure
to startle most cottage dwellers
Yet, a lot of summer iron
tiersmen may be won over to
contemporary design by two o
this .cottage's features; the win
dow with its breathtaking lake
to -Sky view, and the simplicity
and economy if its construction
It's a cottage as at home in the
woods as a trapper's lean-to, but
more imaginative, and very im-
portant too is the fact that your
handyman cottage builder could
run it up himself for 2,000,
Canadian Homes and Gar-
dens describes another unique
cottage, situated on Ontario's
Lake Simcoe, It has a seven -
sided living -dining • area facing
south to the sun and a view. A
wall, with two fireplaces placed
back-to-back divides the living
area from the dining area. An-
other simple three xoom cottage
built on a rocky hill site (with
living room built around one of
the large boulders) also follows
the new look with these interest-
ing features. The structure of
stained wood siding and glass
panels is supported on concrete
piers, with windows on three
sides for a sunlit interior, and a
flat roof that doubles as a pri-
vate sunbathing platform,
"You should let your imagin-
ation soar when you plan your
cottage," suggests Vancouver de-
signer Geoffrey Smith, who df-
fers several refreshing designs of
his own in the same issue. -His
reasons: Unlike city houses, the
cottage remains in the family
for generations, so it should -be
designed with the future in
mind, not the past. And 'second-
ly, unhampered by design and
building restrictions in the wilds
where your cottage will be, you
are free to design the cottage
you want, even if it doesn't look
like other cottages. To prove his
point. Smith suggests for the
awkward hillside site — a split-
level design with a roof to floor
window 'wall, punctuated by a
cottage -high fireplace. Suggested
materials: masonry walls, tongue
and groove cedar roofs, fir mul-
lions for window walls, cedar
planks for interior partitions.
Another design takes the pro-
tective roof overhang idea to a
new length. The cottage roof
not only covers the central in-
terior section, but also shields
the two patios, one fol' the sun,
the other for shade. A third cot-
tage, `ideal for families who en-
joy barbecues and a crackling
evening fire, is dominated by o
long fireplace - barbecue wall.
This wall divides the living area
from the bedrooms. It's a de-
sign that can very adequately
fit the needs of a ski -cabin as
well. ,
Mosaics Are Rediscovered
s signs. Now a revival is under
way, reports Canadian Homes
and Gardens. Wall plaques can -
- bring the same rich .color and
- life to your living rooms as an.
t oil painting, and the tiles are
s just as well suited to more cis-
, ual use, as in table tops, lamps
• and cigarette boxes, or for
- architectural decoration as in
the tiled surfaces of hearth and
✓ room divider .
e The answer to the do-it:four-
s selfer's dream, they're easy to
s work `with, and a real challenge
lies in choosing the colors and
working out a successful design.
Here's how to* make your own
f mosaic tile designs. You'll need
cement and grout, a thin mortar
- you use to fill between the tiles.
Work out design before cement-
ing. it helps to mark the final
design on table with a pencil,
Cover about six square inches of
table with cement and begin lay-
ing tile, paper side up. Continue
until surface is covered, beeping
edges straight. When cement is
set, wet tiles and scrape off paper.
backing, Mix dry grout with
water. Spread over entire sur-
face, Leave 10 minutes, then re-
move from surface with damp
cloth. All cracks between tiles
will be filled. Cover edge of
table or plaque with molding of
wood or metal.
You can buy tiles at depart-
ment stores and tile dealers; be
sure to ask for glass mosaic
tiles, they are harder than glaz-
ed ceramic . tiles and far less
likely to be broken.
Age-old mosaic ,,tiles are go-
ing contemporary, bringing
bright colors and rich texture to
tables, wall plaques, and even
fireplaces. Greeks and Romans
put mosaic on the floors of treir
homes. And in the Christian era,
the art found its finest expres-
sion in religious murals and de-.
