Allen Thomas builders of Sears Model Home, working in cooperation with the Sears Roebuck gave a great deal of thought to the problems connected with the heating of these homes and decided to install a complete automatic winter air conditioning It is unusual for a home sell ing in this price bracket to have' it easily accessible from several sucn a modern and complete sys points. Bordering on the north is the Wormleysburg by pass and on the south is Market street. Living on this development means only 10 minutes' traveling distance by car to Harrisburg. It also boasts of 10 minute bus service. Country Club Located adjacent to the development is the West Shore Country Club, which is very desirable from the standpoint of the future purchaser.

Together with the fact that in the future there will be erected a theatre, faced with several stores, and a Giant market.

On this development there will be strict adherence to houses within a certain price range so as to protect the purchaser's home. A very important part of the residential restrictions of this park will be exclusiveness of design for the individual. Heretofore it has been the practice in different developments to erect houses identically the same.

In Beverly Park this will not hold true. Each and every house will be different. They may be slightly similar but not identically the same. In this manner Mri Thomas continued we expect to achieve some very interesting architectural designs. Of course, Mr.

Thomas, stated, we are building a model Sears home here to dem instrate to the public the type of home we would have in Beverly Park. The houses will be located a good distance from the street and sidewalk so as to furnish a good sized lawn in front of the houses. At different parts throughout the Park spots have been set aside to make park like effects. It is planned to have flowers and shrubbery adorn these spots or sections. Air Conditioning System Installed in Sears Home Equipment Is Used For Conditioning and Veu tilating Rooms buck and designed a system whereby clean, humidified, and heated air is supplied to each room through neat grilles located on the sidewall just below the ceiling line.

As this conditioned air circulates into the room cold air at the floor line is taken out of the room through grilles located in the baseboards and re turned to the unit where it is recleaned, reheated and rehumid ified and again sent back to the rooms. This cycle of operation takes place every ten minutes while the unit is in operation.

Another feature of these sys terns is their use for ventilation purposes. At any time, either winter or summer, the fan which supplies the air to the various rooms may be operated, giving a movement of air throughout the entire house and affording cleaning of all the air in the house six times an hour.

The Sears, Roebuck and Co. states that only by the installation of an automatic can the home owner hope to have a heating plant which; will not; be out of date ten years from now. Premature Use of Land "Forms Civic Problem A problem closely related to that of providing good homes on a sound basis of financing is that of the prenature subdivision of land, particularly that lying outside the city limits. While normal city growth would eventually call for the use of some of this land, Federal Housing Administration land planning officials feel that the practice of subdividing land before it is ripe for development has the dual effect of attracting families from well established neighborhoods in cities and of creating serious civic problems, such as undue extension of public utilities, the need for new police and fire protection, and new schools. With receipts from taxable properties shrinking, as is the case in many localities, and new calls being made upon city funds, municipal officials are becoming inclined to use every means at their disposal to check further deterioration of blighted neighborhoods and to devise means of protecting neighborhoods, new and old, which still are free from blight.

Importance of Well Planned Rooms Stressed by "Sears" Rooms which are well planned in relation to one another and to suit the average family's needs are being emphasized by Sears R.oe buck Company in the model homes they arc sponsoring because of the current demand for homes with a functional design. Some of the rules that guide Sears Roebuck sponsors of modern homes include: I (1) A plan that makes it pos sible to go from room to room with the fewest possible steps and the least disturbance of occupants of other rooms. (2) Wall space arranged for maximum utility. (3) Practical use of glass or window area. (4) Simplicity of design.

(5) Provision for seasonal out of door living. (6) Equipment and planning of the kitchen for time, step, and labor saving. (7) An accessible garage with no lot space wasted. (8) Adequate wiring, with out. lets provided for convenient use uf all electric appliances.

(9) Arrangements for a labor saving laundry room. (10) An absolute minimum of waste space. (11) The orientation of house and location. (12) Provisions for privacy, both in relationship of rooms in the house and in relationship of neighboring houses. Centers on A 1 1 (if MA AIWAMTArCC of BEVERLY PARK 1.
