Attractive House Design
17XTERI0R design of s house
being as important as the in
terior, architects and builders are
giving special attention to it now
adays. One reason is that buyers
like a distinctive house that sets
it aside from others in the same
neighborhood.
Until recently, there was little
variety of design possible with
conventional materials. Now
there are some fine combinations
made possible by a selection of
exterior sidings offered in Mason,
ite Presdwood. Since th$se are
available in various forms and
patterns, many discriminating
builders, architects and owners
are specifying them because of
their beauty, relatively low cost,
durability and unusual paint hold
ing qualities.
The illustration aptly demon
strates how effective various
types of the same versatile
Presdwodd can be in the design
of a home. At the left may be
seen Masonite Shadowvent Sid
ing, applied horizontally. No nail
ing through the boards is re
quired. Walls at the right are
attractive sheets of Panclgroove,
used by architects to "balance"
the long, low sweep of roof lines.
A continuous pattern of vertical
grooves is offered, as the edges
are shiplapped and do not show.
Covering the porch ceiling and
overhang are Panelwood sheets.

salted peanuts.

There’s Storage in This
Handsome Corner Table
A CORNER table with a stor
age unit fits neatly into a
comer between two sofa-beds,
providing a handy place for stor
ing linens and pillows. In a
child’s room, it makes a fine toy
bin and play table.
This table can be constructed
of 1 x 2 lumber for framing,
Masonite 3/1G" Tempered Presd
wood for the sides and white
Marlite for the top, which opens
on the diagonal. A free plan de
tailing the construction and list
ing the materials may be ob
tained by sending a postal to the
Home Service Bureau, Suite
2037, 111 W. Washington St.,
Chicago 2, 111., and requesting
drawing No. AP-8.
The attractive Marlite top pro
vides a durable plastic surface
that’s resistant to scratches,
burns and other abuse. It makes
a good place for a lamp, ashtrays
and books. An adhesive is used
to fasten the top panel to its
wooden framework.
In finishing the hardboard, ap
ply first a primer and one or
two coats of good grade paint
or enamel. If a factory-primed
hardboard is used, only one fin
ish coat is needed. All the ma
terials are available at lumber
yards. Damp-wiping keeps the
plastic-finished Marlite clean.

’Tis the Month Before Christmas—
Midwesterners Give Gift of Life Itself
The bright lights of surgery
may drown out the soft glow of
a wreathed electric candle. But
from the school room for convales
cent children como carols that
mute the pulsing rhythm of an
iron lung. In a ward, children
giggle as a lad suggests putting
tree ornamerfts on the traction
cables and pulleys that suspend
his brokon leg. It is the pre
Christmas season at Childrens
Memorial Hospital in Omaha.
Speaking at the meeting of the
Hospital's Board of Trustees, W.
A. Sawteli, retiring president,
raised a vital question: “Are we,
the parents of this midwestern
area, making genuine and lasting
plans to live the real spirit of
Christmas? Are wo taking the
necessary action to guarantee
every child, from anywhere, re
gardless of inability to pay, the
very best specialized hospital and
medical care?”
41,900 in 8 Years
In his Annual Report, Mr. Saw
teli noted that since Childrens Me
morial Hospital opened in J948,
more than 41,900 children have
been cared for. Approximately
one-third of these children came
from 397 cities and towns in Ne
braska, from 189 cities and towns
in western Iowa, and surround
ing areas.
"Christmas," Mr. Sawteli re
minded, "is the sacred time of
remembering and giving hope for
those unfortunate persons who are
afflicted with serious disease or
crippled through some accident or
disaster. We can continue our
faith by giving genuine substance
and reality to our interest in the
health of our children.”
Childrens Memorial Hospital is
(lie only epecializcd children's hos
pital in this territory, Mr. Sawteli
pointed out. It was built and is
being supported by voluntary con
tributions.
No Government Aid
"The wonderful and kind people
I In this midwestern area ‘take care
of their own’ without governmen
tal aid,” he said. "Nor do we re
ceive any financial assistance from
the Community Chest. Many more
children from all over Nebraska
Though their homes may be many miles away, little patients at Childrens
Memorial Hospital in Omaha enjoy homelike Christmas preparations.
Among Nebraska and Iowa patients are, left to right, Penelope Hopkins,
14 months, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Hopkins, Creston, Iowa; Mary
Fleming, 9, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Fleming, Norfolk, Nebr.; and
Iilmcr Bruning, Jr., 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Iilnicr Bruning, Sr., Harvard,
Nebr. With them is Mrs. Florence Watson, Omaha, a volunteer worker.
Penelope lias been hospitalized for reconstructive surgery; Mary, for obser
vation and diagnosis; and Flmer, for a diabetic condition.
and western Iowa will be coming
to Childrens Memorial Hospital in
the future.
“Now, at Christmas, is the time
for all parents to make a gift for
the good health of their children.’’
More free care was given in
1956 than ever before by the
Medical Staff, consisting of 243
doctors, specialists in every field
of medicine, according to Lloyd G.
Jensen, Hospital Administrator.
“These specialists in the health of
children,” he said, "are continuing
even greater educational programs
for Residents, Internes and nurses,
and are also expanding their re
search in preventive medicine."
Care Available to All
Commenting on the ready avail
ability of the Hospital facilities,
Mr. Jensen reported, “Like the
Fire Department or the Police
Department, we are open all of
the time and are ready to take
care of any child. Each day we
hear expressions of gratitude from
worried and panic-stricken par
ents who bring their youngsters to
the Hospital.
“Wo try to give our children all
of the warm affection and comfort
they would r jeive at home,” Mr.
Jensen said. Quoting from a letter
received from parents of a patient,
ho read, “I have seen the special
loving care that is given by the
staff at Childrens Memorial Hos
pital to each individual child, no
matter who the child is, or where
he comes from.”
Direction of the vital work of
bringing in volunteer contribu
tions to support the hospital dur
ing 1957 will be in the hands of
the newly elected officers of the
Hoard of Trustees of Childrens
Memorial Hospital. They are: W.
L. Shomaker, President; Miss
Gladys Warner and Ralph Kip
linger. Vice Presidents; Edward
Shafton, Secretary; Owen Cotton,
Assistant Secretary; Richard H.
Hiller, Treasurer; and Edward W.
Lyman, Assistant Treasurer.
"Our greatest challenge,” said
Mr. Shomaker, “is to make sure
that, despite rising costs, we can
continue our work of providing
essential caro to any child who
comes to us, regardless of race, re
ligion or inability to pay.”
