| Pick Favorite Color 'Consultant's Advice "Deciding on the color of a carpet for her new home often throws today's homemaker into tizzy," says Betty Barrymore. _ "She is afraid she'll grow tired of it or that she will be unable to change her color scheme." Not so, says this well-known carpet consultant and dec- orator, who maintains that the secret of successful selection is to choose a favorite color. There is little danger of tiring of this shade, she says, and because it is a favorite it is easy to plan geveral color schemes around it.

A purchaser should be certain to become acquainted with the reputation and, if pos- sible, the man who constructed the home he is thinking of build- ing or buying. There are several ways to choose a reputable, responsible and experienced builder.

Banks and mortgage lending institutions frequently are well- informed and helpful about giv- ing information concerning the calibre of work done by local duilders.

Nearly all good builders join forces in a local buikders' group a@ifiliated with the National House Builders Association, and abide by the high standards as set forth in the NHBA Code of Ethics. Working together through their association, these builders constantly seek to find and use mew and better designs, mater- jals and building techniques, with the objective of providing more and better livability ai the lowest possible cost. : CODE OF ETHICS ; All members of the associa- tion pledge themselves: 1, To assume responsibliity to their customers, community and country; 2..To let honesty guide their business policy; 3. To adhere to high standards of health, safety gid sanitation in the building of"homes; 4. To uphold the right to a fair return for goods and services; 5. To encourage research to develop new materiels, new building techniques, new build- ing equipment and improve methods of home financing s0 that every home purchaser may obtain the greatest value pos- "sible for every dollar invested im his house; fecting the building industry and public it serves.
