4 Thursday, Jan. 2, 1958 Redlands Daily Facts New Sloan Home To Be Southland Showplace Construction got under way today on the new home for James Sloan in Prospect Park which expected to become one of showfflaces of Southern California when it is completed. Being built by Gordon Donald on the site of the former Sloan home which was razed some time ago, the new home will consist of 4,000 square feet and is of ultramodern architecture featuring split-level design. Basically, the house will consist of three bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and a combination darkroom-projection room- hi-fi room. But nothing else about the house is "basic." There will be a tropijal swimming pool with lighted waterfall on the grounds'while there will be another waterfall in the living room.

Four kinds of music can be selected by the push of a button from any room in the house and two rooms will feature different which Mr. Sloan has obtained on hunting expeditions. Henry Eggers of Los Angeles is the architect while Norman Hanson, also of Los Angeles is the interior decorator. Trophy Room Probably the most outstanding room in the house will be the huge living room with its unusual fire place which will be open on four sides. It will serve as a divider converting part of the room into a den for Mr.

Sloan's African trophies and the more traditional side into a living room where paintings he has collected from all over the world will be hung. Even entering this room will be an experience since a visitor will walk over a reflecting pool which will be at the bottom of the 9 foot waterfall. Next to that will be a rock garden which serves as the base for a life-sized mounted Indian Leopard, a record-size animal nine feet from tail to nose, which Mr. Sloan shot in India two years ago. The side of the fireplace facing the trophy room will be outlined with two elephant tusks, also a Sloan trorjhy, and above that will be his Black Cape Buffalo.

The room will also feature-a gigantic snack bar arrangement behind which will appear Mr. Sloan's collection of miniatures which depict every phase of every known sporting event. Carved in wood these miniatures now number 150 and will be categoried and occupy special niches. This snack bar changes levels at one end and continues into the dining room area where it becomes a dining room table. One of the most unique rooms in the house is termed a bedroom HutUn'actuality is a combination trophy room, bar, den and bedroom.

This will be known as the western room" and will be so 'designed that it will be a replica an old western bar room complete with the brass rail, poker tables and the like. In this room will hang the bison head which Mr. Sloan shot only a few months ago plus other North American trophies. The ceiling will.be of heavy rustic beams. Western Room This Western room will also have one of the most unusual wall clocks in existence.

The numerals will be made up of a complete authentic collection of Colt pistols and the hands will be ramrods with .45 cal. bullets for tips. Built for easy indoor-outdoor living, the master bedroom opens onto a balcony which in turn leads to a cliff at the ton of the tropical swimming pool which is actually the diving board. This cliff may also be reached from the pool area. There will be no diving boards as such around the nool with all diving to be done from artistic cliffs of rocks surrounding portions of the pool.

There will also be a wading oool. One end of the oool will be highlighted by the waterfall which will have luaii gas jets so that it can be lighted at night. All plantings and landscaoins around pool will be in the Ironical motif. Push Button Each room in the house plus the pool area will be eouipDed with a pushbutton panel with which Mr. Sloan can select one of three turn tables popular, classical or dinner music or AM-FM radio or snecial taped programs.

All rooms will have balanced hi-fi speakers Grounds around the house will be attractively landscaped using many of the trees saved when the eld home was razed. No grass will be used in the landscaping but instead there will be various types of ground covers. Starting right at the front gate and throughout the house to a mosaic at the pool will be the Sloan "brand" designed- by Mr. Hanson which features a round circle with camera and gunscope. An $80,000 building permit was issued for the home last summer although construction could not be started until today.

The home is expected to be complete by next Christmas. REDLANDS Phone PV 3-1331 TODAY Cont. from 2 P. M. J.

State Deficit Takes Big Leap, Prospects Black Cold Air Mass Brings Freeze To U.S. Midlands By UNITED PRESS A cold air mass surged into the Southeast today, bringing a hard freeze as far south as Atlanta, Ga and chilling residents of Northern Florida. In the midlands, many residents spent the first day of the New Year Wednesday digging out of a snowstorm that dumped 3 to inches of snow across the Central States. The advancing cold air system sent readings plunging as much as 20 degrees from the Ohio Valley to the Southeast.

Atlanta, Ga. reported an early morning low ot 26, as compared New York" 37. The mercury dropped 15 degrees to a low of 47 in Tampa, early today as the cold blast overspread northern sections of the state. Fireball Sighted In Midwest, Not Sputnik SPRINGFIELD, 111. A brilliant fireball was sighted early today in northeastern Missouri and central and southern Illinois.

A moonwatcher said it was possible the object was Russia's Sputnik .1 satellite, but only if calculations on its orbit were "off." At Cambridge, Dr. Donald Lautman, senior scientist of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's computation division said he was "quite confident" the object was not the satellite. Lautman said the first satellite's only recent U.S. crossings were at 7:30 p.m. p.s.t.

Wednesday and :30 a.m today But he said the rapidly accelerating Sputnik I has reached a "very unpredictable stage" The bright object was seen around midnight at St. Louis, Ff guson and Afton, Mo. A short time later, scores of persons called police and newspaper offices to report sightings in Illinois. Most callers described the object as a "blinding flash of light." Among the observers were three state police officers. In St.

Louis, Stuart L. O'Byrne moonwatcher, said the light could have been the fall of Sputnik "if calculations were off as much as 20 to 25 degrees." American scientists recently reported that Sputnik I was dropping lower in its orbit and was expected to crash to earth like 'a flaming meteor within a few days. By JAMES C. ANDERSON United Press Staff Correspondent Despite what the politicians say, the state.budget has been, out of balance for'at least three years That is to say, the expenditures set forth in the state budget were greater than the revenues that came in. This year, the deficit took a tremendous leap of 70 million dollars.

Up to now, no one has worried' about it greatly because oi all the reserve funds laying around. There was the free surplus, amounting to 110 million dollars at the beginning of this fiscal year (1957-58). It was built mainly in 1954-55 when a huge up surge in defense manufacturing and auto sales boosted state revenues way over the estimates. We started this fiscal year in July with this surplus on. hand.

The state budget itself was 65 mil lion dollars in the red when pre sentedio the legislature. Basically, the legislature approved it at that level making it the first two billion dollar budget in state history. Budget In Hole Then the legislature itself went on to pass 75 million dollars in special appropriation bills that were signed by the governor. That left the budget close to 145 million dollars in. the hole.

Robert Harkness, budget officer in the state Department of Finance, said two special funds were wiped out by this huge deficit. The first was the above-mentioned 110 million dollars in free surplus carried over from previous years. PACIFIC DRIVE-IN THEATRES TRI-CITY DRIVE-IN Ht -wir S3 btlt.

Open Friday Nights OF COURSE NOT! Being an independent store, living IN Redlands and sus-' tained BY Redlands, we cannot, with remain open FRIDAY NIGHTS 'TIL 9. By adopting this Friday night opening policy we believe we would be making our hometown community obligations of secondary consideration, in conflict with all of those many essential and normal facets and events of "our kind" of community a community we all so proudly call "HOME." By remaining open Friday nights 'til 9 we could rightfully be charged with calculated indifference to our high school student body activities, to other public. Church, and University activities, to our summer Bowl concerts in season, and to the Sabbath night of a very important group of fellow citizens. Certainly, if "Main Office" absentee ownership stores which insisted originally that Redlands stores MUST have a night opening, Friday was is night for Redlands.

And we cannot, with conscience, force our fine associates our sales staff to work FRIDAY NIGHTS 'TIL 9, depriving' them of their normal home life. Everyone in our America should be IMPORTANT. Human values must be made more important than profits. And being an independent institution, no one in "Main Office" thousands of miles away can tell us what we must or must not do.

Wednesday night he received an anonymous telephone call from a man who told him he was sorry he had taken the money. The caller said he had spent $100 of it but that the balance could be recovered on the baseball diamond al Beaumont High School. Police found the money in a potato sack.

flto Has a lirfMajr The other was a 30 million dollar technical draw the state had on the teachers retirement and bond redemption funds. And it still left the state six million dollars in the red. For the first time since the depression the state, was so broke it was becom-' ing necessary to dip into its most cherished and closely-guarded reserve fund the revenue deficiency fund of 75 million dollars, known more widely as the state rainy day fund. For Special Use Only Gov. Goodwin J.

Knight said in the last session that he would oppose using the fund for every day housekeeping expenses. He wanted it saved for something special and lasting, he said. But last week the governor--bow ed to the inevitable. If the legisla ture would not enact new taxes the fund must be used. Knight told his news conference he was being "driven" to use of the fund.

The governor being "driven" harder than most people thought. For last week, legislative auditor A. Alan Post came up with a new state revenue estimate. Post estimated that the state revenues this year to one-billion-152 million dollars. This compares to an earlier department of finance estimate of one-billion 172 million dollars in revenues.

What it meant was that the state had less income than it thought, and, in fact, would be going 2t million dollars in the hole this fiscal year rather than" just six million. It means, too, that a third of the rainy day fund is needed to pay the state's bills. It may avoided literally for a short time by using funds that are earmarked buf not spent and by using what is left of funds earmarked for completed projects, but that much of the rainy day fund now is encumbered. Picture Gets Blacker The picture gets blacker as you look forward. Fiscal experts say the deficit between income and expenditures is increasing by 60 million dollars a year.

Whereas the state was 146 million dollars in the red this fiscal year, it will be 200 million dollars in the red in the 1958-59 fiscal year, providing there is no economic upsurge. The 1958-59 budget is now being formulated. It will be presented to the legislature next Feb. 3 lor its approval. The expected 200 million dollar deficit next year will clean up the rest of the rainy day fund plus tlit last 30 million dollars earmarked for the state in the teachers re tirement and bond redemption funds.

After all the loose pennies are counted, the state still should be at least 100 million dollars in the hole. One solution would be a boost in taxes. But governor Knight says he will not ask for a penny in crease. He says because of election, year, it would not be realistic to expect the legislature to vote more taxes. The only other solution in sight right now is to remove all state money from state construction This amounts (o 110 million dollars this year.
