Safety Tip Is Offered Home safety researchers at the Iniversity of Illinois have rec- mmended that all windows which annot be reached from the round or a porch should be of a that can be washed from Inide the house.

The recommendation was made the university's Small Homes Council bulletin, "Hazard Free louses," which lists common dan- ers in a house and tells how avoid them in new construe- on and remodeling. In its recommendations on win- ows, the Council refers lo the angers of falls while washing from ladders outside. A number of styles of windows pine are available that can be 'ashed from inside the house 'ilhout the need for ladders or ep stobhy These include mod- is with sash that can be remov- completely for cleaning, and tyles that open in such a way lhat oth sides of Ihe glass can be cached from inside. Among the removable sash win- ows of pine are the popular dou- hung styles and sliding sash lodels. Window types that can washed from inside without re- loving the sash include awning, opper, and casement windows.

By DAVID L. BOWEN If the high cost of building has so far prevented you from owning your own home, here is a plan that deserves a close look. X-54 in the House of the Week series of distinguished homes provides four bedrooms (or three am a study), dining room, recreation room, kitchen, living room, anc baths. THE SELLING price for this modern split-level in a Long Is land development about 45 mile? from New York City is without. garage.

This price in- eludes the cost of the 100 by 100 foot lot. With garage, the cosl is $14,100. Part of the explanation of this attractive price is the saving available to the large-scale build er who has built and sold more than 200 houses of this type. However, X-54 was designed for economy. No matter how custom- building costs in your city compare to mass production in Island, you should get a lot ol louse for the money with X-54.

The way to find out what the price would be is to write for a 'baby blueprint" Study Plan and it to a local contractor for an estimate. The study Plan con- the information he will need. X-54 WAS designed by Archi- ect Samuel Paul and contains 1,365 square feet of livable space in its three levels. Entry is on he middle living level, which is livided between living room at he front of the house and kitchen and dining room at the rear. The living room is 18 feet long and a bit over 11 feet deep, with i picture window in a projecting iay giving interest to both inter- or and exterior.

Space beneath window is available for a uilt-in TV set, Hi-Fi, or low look cases. Kitchen and dining room are onnected so that each gains the llusion of larger size. The kitch- is efficiently laid out, and iven has a broom closet--a storage blessing many luxury homes lo not provide. A DOOR FROM the dining room pens onto a rear stair platform eading down to the inviting ter- ace which the plan calls for in he rear yard. A large and always useful rec- eation room is the main feature the basement level, which also ontains a study which could erve just as easily as a fourth 5edroom.

The utility room is urprisingly big for this size ouse and contains space for a omplete laundry unit, heating quipment plus extra space for A lavatory opens off the recreation room opposite the basement level entrance and economically located directly below the main LOWER LEVEL ALL AVAILABLE space is put to work In X-54.

PALMER LUMBER CO. 952 Prindle CHEHALIS Phont SH 8-7162 OPEN ALL DAY SATURDAY Here's The Answer ANDRIW C. LANO AP Ncwiffitvm QUESTION: I have heard of many different ways to achieve in antique finish on wood, but none of them parallels a method my late grandfather used to employ. All 1 on remember about it is that he mixed a powder with water and then applied the mixture to the wood- with a sponge.

There was no rubbing, shading or anything like that. Can you tell me anything about this? ANSWER: It is quite probable that your grandfather used potassium permanganate which you can buy in most drug stores. One part of powder to about ten parts of water is the proper mixture. When applied, the mixture causes a chemical change in wood that gives it an aged effect. I suggest you try it first on a piece of scrap wood to be sure the reslut is what you are trying to achieve.

QUESTION: I have had a table saw for about a year. When 1 lave had occasion to cut a groove in a piece of wood, I have done by making successive cuts with regular saw blade. This has not been entirely satisfactory because it has been difficult to gel Decision cuts. Now I have re- a present of a dado set, ut it does not contain any infractions. Can you tell me some- hing about it? ANSWER: The ordinary dado set (known by woodworkers as a dado head) consists of 6 parts-- wo outside cutters and 4 inside chippers.

The outside cutlers, which look something like regular combination saw blades, usually are of an thick. Two of the inside clippers also are in, one is one-quarter and one If you want to make a groove Vs of an inch wide, you use a single outsider cutler. From there on you can make grooves any width desired up to of an inch. Wider cuts OfTTfaS are made by making adjacent passes with the dado head. In ising a dado head, push the wood nto the blades slowly and stead- ly.

Going too fast will cause the ides of the groove to chip. QUESTION: I have just finished plastering a wall. How long must the planter be allowed to dry out before paintinj? ANSWER: Three or four weeks should be sufficient time. Professionals use a moisture meter in case of doubt. Try striking a match against the wall.

If it does not light, the chances are dryinf has not been completed. You can, if you wish, put on a coat of latex paint, which allows evaporation to continue until the wall is completely dry. Later, if you I wish, you can apply one or more i coals of oil-based paint. I QUESTION: I expect to be making several birdhouses this spring. Can you tell me what kind of wood to use? ANSWER: Almost any kind.

You would be wise to drop in at your neighborhood lumberyard and see whether it has some scrap lumber or plywood for sale. These scraps make excellent material for birdhouses. The wood will stand up well if you give it a good protective coaling of paint or spar varnish. Be especially careful to seal the edges of any pieces of plywood that may be among the scrap. QUESTION: I would like to use clapboard aluminum siding for a small barn I will be building soon.

My wife thinks there will be too much glare the sun hits the aluminum. What is your opinion? ANSWER: Why not try the type of aluminum siding which is pre- finished in various colors? QUESTION: Many years ago a friend of mine built a playroom out of a plywood called gabon. I want to build a similar room, but no lumber yard I have gone to knows anything about any such wood. Can you help me? ANSWER: The wood you are referring to was known as gaboon a hardwsod from'Equatorial Africa. Some years back it began to be known as samara wood and you probably can get it now by that name.
