Permit Is Granted
For $360,000 School
In Southwest District
Permit to construct a three-story
brick school building in Southwest
Washington was granted by the
District of Columbia this week.
Costing $360,000. part loan and part
grant through Lanham Act funds,
the structure will serve the Bellvue
development and Anacostia. It will
replace the present temporary Pat
terson School. The building is ex
pected to be completed by Novem
ber 1.
The structure will have 18 class
rooms, two kindergarten rooms and
two rooms for the preschool or nur
sery group. There will be a large,
combination assembly room and
gymnasium, a lunchroom and two
practical arts rooms, as well as
offices and teachers’ rest rooms.
The office of A. W. Heinmiller.
assistant superintendent in charge
of the budget for the District
schools, announced the building
should be ready for occupancy in
February, 1945.
Another permit for $12,000 was
awarded to Fred S. Gichner to erect
a one-story steel and brick shop in
the rear of his present shop. The
project will make it possible for
the Gichner Iron Works to turn out
more ammunition racks for the
Army and Navy. The Gichner Co.
received the Army and Navy “E”
a year ago and since that time have
received two stars.
Total amount for new construc
tion, remodeling and repair for this
week is $406,185, an increase over
last week of $156,185. a Additional

Columbia office above $300 are as

Make Plans for the Future
“Though most contractors special
izing in repair and maintenance
work are operating with reduced
forces at the present time, most of
them have ample time to prepare
estimates and work out complete de
tails for repair jobs, large or small,
with greater care or attention than
will be possible after the rush of
peacetime construction begins. In
addition, making advance arrange
ments for urgent repair jobs will
help make certain that there will be
no unnecessary period of unemploy
ment during the early post-armis
,tice period.”
Alotlg Realty Row
No wonder Gertrude Cleary of the
Washington Building Congress is the
smilingest woman in town! Planned
a luncheon on Tuesday for several
hundred, of the Building Congress
members, at which she was “top
gal” of the 3 or 4 women present.
Quite a break for any gal in this
town of ours, these days. Aside from
the serious consideration given a
fine talk by Irving Clarke of West
inghouse, the Building Congress
planned a cocktail party for May
24. complete was a chorus to sing
old songs. The office today is hilar
iously concocting parodies, with
plenty of local color, which will be
“sprung” at the party.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Harold Gooding,
who made themselves famous in
terior decorating some of the finest
Miller houses in Spring Valley, will
manage the Bethesda branch of the
Malcolm Scates Furniture Shop.
Mr. Scates had just acquired the
Wayside Shops from Ginn & Co.,
so it looks as though Washingto
nians will find fine furniture and ex
pert advice on what to do with it
under the same roof. As the three
shops are open evenings until nine,
busy home owners will appreciate
this service in the “cool of the
evening.”
Charlie Rush of the Washington
Real Estate Board has just cele
brated his twenty-fifth wedding an
niversary. Though Charlie talks
real estate by the hour we can re
port that alj| business stopped for
some time while he planned an an
niversary party for Mrs. Rush.
A. W. Lee, chairman of the Mem
bership Committee of the Washing
ton Building Congress, has offered
a prize to the committeeman who
brings in the greatest number of
new members. Taking no chances,
he has to date turned^in 54 new
names. Several of his colleagues
have suggested he may have resorted
to “plastering” technique.
Clarke Daniel tells us that 219 of
the Daniel boy's little houses at
East Pines, near Riverdale, have
been sold. Compact, easy to live in,
inexpensive houses, they seem to fill
the bill for busy war workers. We
recollect one of these got a “Silver
Star” award in December, 1941.
With bright red shutters, surround
ed by a backdrop of young pine
forest, it looked like a Christmas
card on the snowy day it was opened
for inspection.
Members of the National Associa
tion of Home Builders welcome news
that Elizabeth Shoemaker has been
engaged to design and manage the
huge home-building materials show
which will«be an important part of
the NAHB convention in Chicago
next January. Miss Shoemaker takes
office on June 1 with the Metro
politan Chicago Home Builders’ As
sociation. The exhibit will $how the
strides that have been made in the
last 10 years in the home-building
field and to a great extent clarify
the confusion of what may be ex
pected in this field, and how soon
after the war.
Philip M. Klutznick, in his first
address since succeeding Herbert
Emmerich as Federal public housing
commissioner, urged local authori
ties to start thinking and planning
for future housing developments in
their communities. “The future is
so certain,” he added, “that a fail
ure to plan now is an invitation to
ultimate failure.”
On this same topic, Editor Mason
oi the magazine American Builder
says, “The United States is far be
hind Great Britain in preparing
during the war, for the earliest and
fullest expansion of the home-build
ing industry so critically needed to
absorb employables as war produc
tion declines.” Mason asks, “If Brit
ain can do it, why can’t America?”
From where we sit, it looks like
there has been plenty of planning

going on in this village this week
When every one gets back to his
home town after this conference
week in Washington, and can sort
out the projected plans, it is our
guess that the "fur will fly’’ on real
estate and home-building fronts all
over the country.
Piedmont Hunt country welcomes
Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. Jackson,
who have just purchased 1,458 acres
and a house near Landmark, in Fau
quier County. The Jacksons have
made many friends in their frequent
visits during the hunt season and
will probably take an active part in
the community now that their home
is established.
Another charming house close to
Leesburg has been sold by Mrs. Ash
by Chancellor to Claude Honicon.
This house has been in the Chan
cellor family for 50 years.
Surplus Real Estate
To Be Parley Topic
A conference to concentrate on
the disposition of surplus industrial
real estate and the reconversion of
industry will meet at the Hotel Stat
ler next Friday and Saturday.
Bethel T. Hunt, president of the
Society of Industrial Engineers, an
nounced today that more than 100
of the Nation’s outstanding indus
trial and real estate specialists will
attend the conference.
The society’s executive session
will hear E. D. Hollingshead, real
estate manager of Camegie-Illinois
Steel Corp.; Representative William
H. Colmer, chairman of the House
Special Committee on Postwar Eco
nomic Policy and Planning; Scott
Russell, counsel of the same com
mittee, and several others of the
Army and Navy real estate depart
ments who are well known.
Electronic Controls
Will Increase Home
Healing Comfort
Electronic controls so sensitive
they react to the heat of a person's
hand will eliminate, in the not too
distant future, the cold floors and
drafts prevalent in the majority of
homes today, John E. Haines, chair
man of the Postwar Planning Com
mittee, Minneapolis-Honeywell Reg
ulator Co., stated in a talk here yes
terday before the American Society
of Heating and Ventilating Engi
neers.
"The urgencies of war have stim
ulated research to the extent that
within a period of three years elec
tronics development has reached a
stage of advancement which might
have required 10 to 15 years to at
tain under peacetime conditions,”
Mr. Haines stated.
Minneapolis-Honeywell has been
conducting research in the elec
tronics field for some time, he point
ed out, in connection with its devel
opment of the electronic automatic
pilot and turbo-supercharger con
trol now used on heavy bombers.
"The word ‘electronics’ is a magic
word. Most of the predictions con
cerning the future of electronic
equipment in the home, for com
mercial applications and in indus
try are well founded. It should be
remembered, however, that elec
tronic equipment is not a cure-all
for every deficiency in our mechan
ical world.”
Electro^: controls, the Honey
well offlc® continued, will be val
uable in connection with the air
conditioning and heating of both
homes and industrial plants, since
they react to minute temperature
variations. The use of electronics,
combined with present-day temper
ature control equipment, will mean
greater comfort, as well as conven

Furniture placement during warm
weather may break all the rules
of good decoration. Returning
home at the end of a hot summer
day, Mr. Homeowner is unlikely to
care much what he does to his wife’s
interior decorating plan if he finds
that he can arrange his favorite
chair, his lamp and small table
w'here it gets a breeze from the
garden window. Her only chance to
keep the house from looking like a
hotel lobby is to rearrange it for
summer comfort.
The deep upholstered wing chair,
fence and safety, for the home and
the factory.
Wldle electronic control equip
ment today would cost nearly twice
as much as equivalent electric or
pneumatic equipment, the cost is
being constantly reduced. In the
n“f,.futufe’” the speaker said, “any
additional cost—if it exists—will be
more than offset by the improved
results which will be obtained.
“In addition, it appears that the
electronic temperature control sys
tem of the future will be consider
ably less complicated than the mod
em radio.
‘Because of the extremely ac
curate manner in which electronic
equipment can control tempera
tures, and as it is not affected by
vibration or changes in altitude, it
appears to be especially well suited
for aircraft, railway cars and sim
ilar vehicles," he said.
which keeps the drafts off in the
winter, does the same thing in the
summer. This chair, and its twin,
can be tucked in a corner during
the hot weather. In its place, pull
out the open-arm side chairs, place
a slip cover over the upholstery
and set these in the coolest part of
the room. With this as a starting
point, build a comfortable arrange
ment of chair side tables, lamps and
a footstool or two. When this
nucleus of comfort is complete, even
though it may be slightly offside,
the rest of the furniture may be
spaced elsewhere to give it balance.
Open wall spaces and sleek floors
appear cool and restful in warm
weather. Polished table tops with
out covers also look cool and feel
so to the touch. A few magazines
and a vase of flowers are all the
decoration necessary. Wall brack
ets, with trailing ivy or other
greenery, are more appealing than
pictures in summer.
If the air blowing through screen
doors brings in too much dust and
adds to housekeeping duties, a
desert remedy might be in order.
Make cheesecloth covers for the
screened area. Put small dress
hooks on the corners and down
the side so that the cloth may be
pulled taut over the screen. Dip
these in water and hang them over

washed and rehung daily. The
moisture cools and freshens the
air as it blows through and retains
the dust in the cloth. If it dries
out too quickly it is a matter of mo
ments to freshen it again, or sev
eral covers may be made so that
there is always a clean one at
hand. This is a trick that is done
on the Southwest desert, where
there is usually a breeze, although
of blast furnace temperature.
Soft light has a cooling, refresh
ing effect in hot weather also.
Shades pulled down are depressing
but sheer curtains which keep out
the sharp glare of sunlight give an
Impression of restful coolness.
Use of furniture and accessories
for comfort is indicated in warm
weather. If they do not serve this
purpose and merely fill up a room,
demanding constant care, they
should be tucked away in the attic
until cool weather.
