The laundry is arranged with washer and dryer lined up along one wall. They're under a window that makes the area pleasantly bright. The home handyman w ill go for the garage in a big way. Planned with a work bench, it has shelves fo r supplies and almost an entire wall o f storage closets, really o f fering him a place to get o ff by him self and concentrate on pro jects. The terrace is sure to attract the children. Adults, too, w ill find it delightful when the season for outdoor parties and meals is at hand. The living room is charming.

Cuba, in a new . airmail sports set, has one value featuring baseball (illustrat ed above) with a batter ready to hit the ball as it com es over the plate. There have been quite a few stamps issued over the years to this most popular o f N orth Am erican sports. The United State* in 1939 issued * com m em orative stamp to mark the 100th anniversary of. the first recorded game o f baseball played at Cooperstown, N.Y. The Philippines in 1934 had a sports set, dne value o f which showed a batter about to hit the ball with the catcher getting ready to catch the ball. Panama in a 1938 set fo r a Cen tral A m erican sports festival fea tured baseball on one value. Co lombia on a 1935 sports set shows a runner sliding to the home plate cm one value o f the issue. Nicar agua on a 1940 set features wo- men's softball on one value and a player sliding safely to base on another value o f both regular and airmail issues. Outside the Am ericas there have been few countries which have had stamps featuring baseball. Japan issued a sports set in 1948 which included one value with a baseball scene. Liberia in 1955 had a sports set, one value o f w hich shows a batter hitting the ball with the catcher and umpire standing be hind him. These are som e o f the stamps which have been issued by differ ent countries to this popular sport. A collection o f such stamps makes a very interesting specialty and none o f the stamps are valuable. Collectors looking fo r som ething different by way o f first flight cov ers, or airmail specialist collectors, w ill be interested in some rocket flights to take place on July 1 in the state o f Nevada. A ccordin g to the New Y ork Times, the Rocket Research Institute o f Glendale, California, w ill launch fiv e letter carrying rockets on July 1 to mark the inauguration o f the Interna tional Geophysical Year.
