Home Show Has
Peak Opening
By ROBERT J. LEWIS

THE BIGGEST OPENING
■ In the 13-yetr history of
the Washington Home Show
was recorded last night at
the District National Guard
Armory.
A total of 5,187 persons
attended during the four
hour opening night, a greater
attendance than on any of
the eight-hour opening days
in the previous 12 years of
the show, except the one in
1953.
Six years ago the eight
hour opening day had a total
attendance of 6,159. But last
year, first-day attendance
reached only 969 persons
owing to a blizzard that
occurred on the same day.
"We're more than pleased
with the turnout for the first
Friday-night opening in the
show's history,” James W.
Pearson, executive vice presi
dent of the Home Builders
Association of Metropolitan
Washington, said last night.
The association sponsors
the exhibition at the Nine
teenth and East Capitol street
two-acre Armory annually to
show latest developments in
home-building design, equip
ment and appliances.
This year’s show empha
sizes outdoor living. It has
attracted an unusual group
of displays, Including a large
concrete, permanent-type
swimming pool, boats, patio
and terrace equipment and
related products.
“We think the show this
year has an entirely ‘new
look’ as a result of incor
porating outdoor living as
part of the theme.” Mr.
Pearson said.
“The boat section was one
of the big hits. Among exhib
its are a 35-foot power
yacht, a Swedish cruiser and
small demountable boats of
a type used twice by individ
ual persons in which to cross
the Atlantic."
A 17-foot outboard motor
boat having a reported re
tail value of $1,385 was
awarded as a prize by the
association last night to
Betty L. Shanks, 2109 7
street N.W.
The winner was not pres
ent at the time of the award,
and will be notified by reg
istered letter mailed last
night, Mr. Pearson said.
The association's program
calls for her to accept a cer
tificate for the boat in an
appearance on television at
11:30 a.m. Monday on Sta
tion WMAL-TV.
Another boat will be
awarded today. Also on to
day's bill of events are skin
diving demonstrations at 4
pm. and 9 p.m.
A fashion show around the
pool built right on the
Armory floor will be held at
4 p.m. tomorrow.
The exposition will be held
10 nights and nine days,
through March 1. Daily and
Sunday hours are from 2 to
11 p.m. The show opened
last night at 7 p.m. and con
tinued until 11 p.m.
The home builders’ associ
ation rents the Armory for
the event at a total cost of
$9,197. The show is financed
largely through space
charges to exhibitors.
Gl Housing
Up in Month
GI housing activity during
January was well above that
of January, 1958, in all cate
gories, the Veterans Admini
stration has reported.
The most dramatic rise in
the figures was the number
of appraisal requests the
agency received for proposed
dwellings. This January there
were 17,931 such requests,
compared with 5,252 in the
same month a year ago.
Applications for home loan
guaranty received by the VA
were 17,395 during the month,
against 7,680 for January,
1958.
Requests received for ap
praisals on existing homes
were more than triple the
number of January, 1958.
This January saw 6,396 as
compared to 2,052 a year
ago.
The smallest rise between
the two years ’ was in the
field of homes started under
the VA guaranty program.
There were 4,074 in January
a year ago and 6,931 this
January.
