bonus to customers for paying
cash — which is reasonable

Some Fliorks About
Buying A House
One million wives are going
to look at one million husbands
within the next year and say,
"Let's buy that house. dear."
If the husbands are smart
they'll, say, "First let's; get the
answers to 50 questions."
The, 50 questions are the key
to Bill Smithaessystem of deter-
mining if the „house at which
you're looking is the house
which -you'll he' happy this year
arid 20 year: SUM now,
After 21 years of study and
observation of• houses and people
who live in them, C. W. Smith
has compiled a book with the
50 questions and other pre-home-
buying inforfriation in it called
"Home Buyer's Handbook."
Mr. Smith is director of the
housing research foundation of
the Southwest Research insti-
tute, a nonprofit organization.
The foundation aims to improve
housing and living standards
through scientific knowledge in
design, technology, materials,
and economics, Mr. Smith says:
"What it adds up to is build-
ing better' houses at no extra
coat.
"If we know what to look for
and what to demand of builders,
we can get much better houses."
Mr. Smith expects a builder
to make a house livable and at-
tractive and he expects a couple
to reject second-class construc-
tion and design, For example:
"There's no reason why a light
switch can't be put on Ithe same
level as a door knobesoenhildren
can reach it. It doesn't cost a
cent ,mere to do this, yet it
makes a home more deeirable."
A little thing like a closet door
can make N hems"; A better place
- if the closet door 'folds out of
the way itsalsead of opening into
room taking- up needed space.
Smith says you can tell
••aather the house wee welt built
by looking at the molding on the
bedrod6 walls or the way the
basement door fits:
"Ii.-the builder took pains with
the little things, you els5n't have
to Worry about the hidden things
- they'll be first cless,"
He is to fancier of a so-called
picture window in the front of
a house.
'`I'f a house has a large picture
window facing the street or the
west, avoid it," he says. •"Witi-
&Vs are Meant to admit light,
frame a Vie% Or permit
Mien. They are tint meant to
alloy/ fleiglabers, t.o see: Whet
cocking on the stove ur whether
ynu wear a shirt in the house,.
"They are also not meant to
allow the setting sun to bake
you in the summer, and they are
not good if the only view yeti get
from the window is 'passing
trucks find parked cars."
.,suggests that most ,asses,

ing, where they will admit light

rooms, the window sills should
be at least four feet above the.
floor to permit flexible location
-of furnishings and to preserve
privacy,
All these things make for bet-
ter living without extra cost..
Many living rooms are noth-
ing but glorified hallways, he
says. Think twice, • he warns
couples, before buying a house
where all the foot traffic in the
winter's snow and the summer's
mud _must walk in on your new
light-gray rug..
While open kitchens are popu-
lar, Me, Smith warns there are
times when a wife will want to
hide the dirty pots by closing off
the kitchen from the living room.
A kitchen sheuld provide a view
of the children's play area and
the approach to the house.
Speaking of little things, as
Mr. Smith always. does, he in-
sists that closet shelves be ad-
justable, He inquiree if the roof
of the, house is white to reneet
the sun and if there are venti-
lating louvers to keep moisture
out at the roof and help cool the'
house,
Before moving into a house
and finding that the heating sys-.
tem doesn't heat and the cooling
system doesn't cool, Mr. Smith
suggests you check with' people
wha live in homes built by the
same contractor; Chances are it
• they're satisfied, you 'Will be.
What about the outside storage
areas? Unless theee'areprovided
you are going to have to store

will help.
And where are you going to

to the kitchen,
Is-there storage space for the
cart' table, dust mops, and the
vactiont .cIdaner? • .
Mr. • Smith 'shuns corner lots
because these . will also have
more snow to shovel, more grass
to ont, and more useless lawn to
water. Traffic will be heavier
and the house likely will cost
more, to say nothing of the
taxes. You can get paying assess-
ments on two streets, for ex-
ample.

the lot has some trees on it, or

children.

trate announced that in his opin-
ion parents who provided young
children with bicycles to ride-
on the road were guilty of neg-
ligence. How tragically true:
Twice recently I was driving
along a busy two-lane highway
near here after school was out
and On each occasion I saw a
little fellow, not more than
seven years old, riding his mini-
alum two wheel bicycle home
from school. 'Just -to see him

I wonder how .its many read-
ers are liking the new set-up of
the Family' Herald—minus the
Weekly Star, Of course it is an
improvement but yet one also
has a sense of loss. Most of us
had a comfortable feeling about
the old Family Herald—the sort
of affectionate feeling one • has
for a well-worn but comfortable
old jacket with which one has
weathered, many' a storm, But
of course we realize' there are
bound to be advantages and dis-
advantages in such a move. This
is ,the first major change that

that eventually everyone will

be that a good many readers are
unaware that Dorothy Dix passed

"The days ate not only WOrth•

living separately.,Each one is

I could close this column With-a
better thought than - that.
'Dear Anne Hiret: So many
lettere you print are about
taw troubles that I just must
stick out by matronly neck. Isn't
it:because too many mothers
think their children are perfect
— especially their sons? When a
boy marries and trouble comes,
Morn promptly, declares it's the
wife's fault -- 'my darling boy
could never be wrong!' I've seen
this too often.
"Both my sons have been mar-
ried seven years, and their wives
and I haven't had one cross
word yet. I honestly think it is
because I was never the devoted
Mamma who stood up for her
sons, no matter what. I was smart
enough (or is it a talent you
have or you haven't?) to be able
to see their wives' sides, too, and
recognize the weaknesses of my
boys; I never hesitated to say so,
Even when both were to blame
I was frank about it, and the
girls understood.
"Perhaps I succeeded because
I love both these girls as though
they were my own daughters. I
never encouraged their bringing
troubles to me; it came about
naturally. When I could, I re-
fused to give an opinion, just
raid, 'Work it out yourselves;
all couples have problems and
this is yours.' It was only when
they appealed to me as a last
resource that I'd take over.
"Today I know I could move
into either hOthe and be wel-
comed — but how glad I am I
don't have to impose!
"One more thing: Why do
some unmarried girls slip out to
have dates? Isn't it because par-
ents are too strict, and so lose
that confidence which is so
precious? If they could see boy
friends at home, they wouldn't
have to sneak out. . .

many years I feel like you are
