CEDAR Aside from the variety of our popular evergreens as regards form and habit, there is a most interesting contrast in foliage forms. Many plants do not run true to the forms shown above but in all cases the leaves of each variety retain their individual characteristics. It is advisable for an owner using evergreens for foundation planting to study these forms and to be sure to use varieties that will not in years to come grow too large and dwarf the house. Cedar, fir, spruce and white pine are forest trees which grow quite rapidly and should be used more for screens. or to flank the sides of the house. by HAaroio C. Becwerr ALA.

PHONE 341 Telephone Poles Mar West Coast Beauty Vancouver, July 21--(CP)--Brit- ish Columbia's scenic beauty takes a beating from poorly-placed tele- graph poles. That's the observation of sun- bronzed Eric Cooke, 40-year-old En- glishman who has cycled some 20,- 000 miles in Canada and the United States since he left England four years ago. Cooke originally set out for New Zealand but he, says he fell in Jove with Canada. He decided to make a photographic tour of the Dom- inion.

Yet just watch how in- terested she will be in peeping out at the neighborhood happenings through the windows. Savings are also often made pos- sible with the kitchen in front.as a less expensive plumbing instal- lation will be required since the length of plumbing lines will be shortened when bathroom and laundry fixtures are similarly placed towards the front of the house. Many More Advantages While home builders may decide on the front-of-house kitchen for the reasons already mentioned, perhaps the most commonly de- sired feature that it affords is the greater space allowed at the rear for privacy, better exposure and less noise in living and sleeping quarters. This was undoubtedly the aim of the first builder who broke away from the time-Honored posi- tion of the kitchen at the back of the house. Gone are the days of the old kitchen with its smoky coal range and miscellaneous clutter . . . and here is further reason for approval of the front location. The old style kitchen with its variety of odors and general unattractiveness na- turally set its location as far as possible from the "dressed up" part of the home. With the modern kitchen's pleasing lines and free- dom from smoke and odors, with its blend of livability and efficiency it is now another matter, however Kitchen Deserves Pleasant Location The modern kitchen with its gay color schemes, its. air of comfort as well as convenience, is now cooking . . . so that it has in fact become to many home owners a real living room. Today's kitchen is so completely livable that you can afford to give it the benefit of a pleasant location. Built-In Cedar Closets A cedar closet sufficiently large to hold the winter clothing for the whole family will pay for itself many times over in the space of a few short years. If a closet exists, line the door, walls and ceiling with 3" heart- wood aromatic red cedar; 7" stock cedar flooring may also be used. If no partitions exist, a closet may be made from 7" tongue and: groove red cedar. Care should be exercised in clos- ing all cracks, particularly those about the odors, which may be weatherstripped. Leave the cedar natural . .-. use no paint, varnish or other finishes. foot three-inch cyclist his share of grief, Once in the Rockies he wan- dered in rugged grizzly bear country for 15 hours before reaching civil- ization by following a creek. Besides himself, Cooke pedals a 60-pound kit, including a tent and sleeping bag, on his cross-country hops. He's had to buy five new tires for the rear wheel of his bike LEOPA2DS' GL SS CAGES Bristol, England (CP)--Cages for leopards at Bristol zoo are to have toughened glass instead of bars, doubling for other activities besides Front Door Has Many Advantages 01d Trunks Are Source of Many Fine Designs Designs found on old bonnet boxes, trunk linings and walls of New England homes have been re- vived for contemporary use in a collection of hand-printed docu- mentary wallpapers. After years of obscurity, the time-tested patterns emerge with a fresh appeal, and, in many cases, with a surprisingly modern feeling. Most of the designs are brought out in muted off-tones, to empha- size the delicacy of the motifs. Among the unusual colors are the hand-to-find mauve and lavender tones and an interesting "snuff green," a deep mixture of brown, gray and green, \ The lining of a deerhide travelling trunk of 1790 yielded a clean-cut linear pattern suitable for modern as well as traditional interiors. It encloses simplified leaf drawings and is available in a variety of in- teresting colors. From another old trunk lining, designers adapted an architectural fret block pattern which has mod- ern Chinese overtones, although it is dated about 1800. The entire pa- per is subtly striped with diagonal cross lines that have a ribbed tex- ture when touched and stimulate a hand-blocked technique.

Another rich provincial design which varies in formality in differ- ent colorations was reproduced from the lining of a stenciled French vanity box of 1810.
