LANG WE DON'T have to tell you (especially if you're a woman who is around the house most of the day) that nothing contributes cheerfulness to a home as much as plain, ordinary daylight.

Dark areas from sunup to sunset have a way of creating a gloomy atmosphere that even the most ingenious of lighting arrangements cannot entirely dispel. A room filled with natural light is a room that exudes cheer the moment you walk into It. The house called for in Design HW-41 features modern clerestory windows to bring daylight into the center of the home, which often is not sufficiently lighted by windows in the out I -i -r i i CONVENIENT unit in any kitchen is the one pictured above.

The plans for this ranch home call for lumber no heavier than 2 6's, no girders and a simple perimeter foundation, all of which helps to cut both material and labor costs. With an PATIO PROVIDES EXTRA OPPORTUNITY The patio at the side of Design HW-41 is covered by a breezeway between the house and the 2-car garage. Since there is a door leading directly into the house, the patio, with a barbecue, can be screened or glassed-in as an additional indoor-outdoor living area. The patio enclosure can be as small or as large as desired, as it extends directly to the rear and flows right into the back terrace, which can be entered from the living room.

And here's something you'll really like: the bedroom wing of the house can be entered from a separate front door leading into the hall. In fact, this house has traffic circulation plus. In addition to the main en trance and the door into the bedroom hall, there is a special en trance right outside the kitchen for deliveries and to enter the basement without going into the kitchen, a side "door to go from the garage through the patio into the house, and a door from the living room to the back ter race. You could hardly ask for more convenience in getting around without a loss of steps.

THERE ARE MANY other luxury features which put Design HW-41 in the unusual class. The latest-type foldine doors are used throughout the' closets and above the pass-j through counter between the kitchen and the dining Unfolded, they permit wide access between these rooms. Folded shut, they make a full, formal wall. The built-ins indicated in the master bedroom, under the corner windows, are special wood cabinets with five-drawer units, decorative and considerably cheaper than the usual built-in furniture. The bathroom in the master bedroom has double washbasins and a corner stall 35 YEARS OF a a squared house of the same cost.

Besides the master bedroom At the far right-hand side of the house and a second bedroom next to it, there is a third room in that wing which can be used accord ing to the needs of the family. It can be a regular third bed room and fully closed off from the living room. It can be a study or den and used as part of the living room.

Or it can be a By STEV EIXINGSON Remember years ago how everyone used to get together in the kitchen while mother was cooking? Cooking wasn't such a lonesome job then, because the whole family was there. And then, too, with things frying and bak ing and smelling a person got pretty hungry waiting for dinner. There was a certain fellowship within the family when they gathered around the coal burning range before dinner. Everyone had an opportunity to contribute a little bit to that end-of-day conversation. A cocktail hour without cocktails that's what it was.

Some kitchens even had rocking chairs. I don't blame those women who don't take to this cooking busi ness. When company comes the cook has to high tail it into the kitchen while everyone else sits around in the living room and has a good time. It would be too lonesome for me. Now, whether you prefer an old time kitchen or a modem one, you will most certainly be happy to have a kitchen unit like the one pictured here with ISBUs Singer pretty Molly Bee.

These clerestory windows are located at the ridge of the roof, creating a dramatic; natural lighting effect in the! very large living room. They also add height to the ceiling and provide an extra means of ventilation to keep the house cool in the summer not to mention the romantic note added to the living room on a full, moonlight night. From the outside, the clerestory windows provide a distinctive, smart break in the long line of the roof.

Fined $1500 On Tax Count SACRAMENTO. UP) Armster Embry of Reno and formerly of Stockton, was fined $1500 in fed eral court today for failing to file federal income tax returns from 1953 and 1954. Judge Sherrill Halbert also put him on five years probation and ordered him to pay the government $9868 in back taxes.

Embry has been working in his brother's gambling establish ment in Reno as a pit boss and Judge Halbert told him he could continue, as gambling is legal there. "It is not up to me to correct the morals of the state of Ne vada," the judge told him, "but I don't want you gambling in California because if you do and get caught it's just going to be too bad for you." Embry told the judge he hadn't paid the taxes because he needed the money to pay for property he had purchased. Kasfel Retires From Tropicana LAS VEGAS.

BASEMENT IS WIDE OPEN Because the basement stairs in Design HW-41 are in the perimeter of the house, the large basement area under the living room is left free for a recreation room with a fireplace.
