Building Material Dealers
Welcome Handyma am
Add the local building-mate
rjal dealer to the list of places
from which the “Men Only" sign
is disappearing.
An executive of the Goodman
Lumber Cos , of San Francisco,
says women are taking an ever
increasing part in the selection
of such materials as roofing, sid
ing, windows, and doors—" An
ything that has a role in the ap
pearance of a house."
Jack Felzner, of the Goodman
firm, says the reason is that wo
men today are insisting on more
colors and textured materials on
the outside of their homes as
well as on the inside.
"And we've got more colorful
materials to offer these days
than ever before," says Felzner.
•’For instance, it’s pretty rare
when a woman can’t find the
color she’s looking for in our
rack of paint chips or our dis
play of asphalt shingles.”
Wives’ Help Sought
The Goodman firm, one of the
largest building-material deal
ers in the San Francisco area,
encourages husbands to bring
their wives when they buy build
ing materials.
"Asa team,” says Felzner, "the
man and wife can decide more
quickly what they want, and
they’re more likely to be satis
fied.
"The husband usually is look
ing for quality and a product
that will be easy to apply or
install, while the wife generally

is concerned only with appear

come in colors, or which can be
painted to suit her tastes and
harmonize with the decor of her
home."
Felzner described one instance
in which a man and wife were
shopping for new roofing for
their home.
Woman Was Kight
"The husband took a liking to
.1 soft, green blend of asphalt
shingles in a deep tone, but his
j wife explained that a dark-color
i roof on their ranch style home
would make it look smaller,
wmle a light color would give
the house an appearance of
height. They selected a light
beige and later the husband
came back and told me she was
right, that the house does seem
larger with its new light roof "
Most building-material deal
ers are welcoming the feminine
invasion of their yards and
buildings, Felzner s*ys, and are
stocking more and more items
appealing to women.
These include shutters and
louver doors of ponderosa pine
which add texture to home de
cor, and greater varieties of pine
panel doors and wood windows
which can be painted or stained
to suit the housewives’ tastes.
Paint departments have been
expanded, wallpaper lines have
been added, and many dealers
now carry a line of light, spe
cially-designed tools for the
home handyma’am.

With Your County

Walter H. Rucker
Quite often the question is asked,
"Will Coastal Bermuda grass pro
duce beef" or “Will Coastal Ber
muda produce milk in a dairy”.
The answer to both questions is
“yes”. Coastal bermuda grass has
proven itself many times through
out the state, from the mountain
section to the coast.
Beef cattle people have found
that, when adequate fertilizer is
applied, Coastal bermuda will fur
nish more grazing and hay than
any other grass that we have.
It is also a good milk producer,
when managed properly. Milk pro
duction is stimulated when cows
get young, leafy and tender plants
to graze. Coastal bermuda will fur
nish this with ample fertilizer and
if it is clipped often to keep the
plants from getting big, stemmy
and tough.
One big advantage of Coastal
Bermuda over common bermuda
and many other grassed is its
ability to use large amounts of
fertilizer economically. Of course
this is limited by the amount of
water received but Coastal also re
mains green longer than common
bermuda, thus giving it a longer
period in which to use the water
and fertilizer.
Many farmers count on Coastal
bermuda almost exclusively for
their hay crop in addition to graz
ing. Its fast growth will enable,
or almost require, that the excess
growth be cut for hay.
Farmers who have not gotten
satisfactory results from Coastal
bermuda should check their man
agement practices. Without ade
quate fertilization and especially
ample amounts of nitrogen, many
of the avantages of Coastal ber
muda are lost.
CALL FOR ENRICHED
CORN MEAL
According to John Noland, corn
meal enrichment specialist, Agri
cultural Extension Service, a vita
min is a special food ingredient
which does a certain job to protect
your health. Vitamins are simple
compounds. Several important vita
mins are added to enriched corn
meal to protect health at a mini
mum cost. Always call for enriched
corn meal, Noland urges.

How farmers vote in the cotton
marketing quota referendum to be
held through out the Nation’s cot
ton-growing area on December 10
will determine whether quota pen
alties will apply and also the level
of price support for 1958-crop cot
ton. The referendum therefore is
of vital concern to every cotton
grower; says C. A. Bagwell, Chair
man of the Forsyth County Agri
cultural Stabilization and Conser
vation Committee.
The marketing quota program
will he in operation for next year’s
crop, the chairman explains, if at
least two-thirds of the votes cast
in the referendum are in favor of
the program. In that case, price
support will be available to grow
ers who comply with their farm
allotments for the 1958 crop of
upland cotton at a level between
75 and 90 percent of parity, and
quota penalties will apply on any
"excess” cotton. If more than one
third of the votes are against
quotas, there would be no quota
penalties and the price support
level to eligible growers would
drop to 50 percent of parity.
Chairman Bagwell explains that,
even though quotas are disapprov
ed, acreage allotments will remain
in effect as a means of determin
ing eligibility for price support.
All farmers who were engaged
in the production of upland cotton
in 1957 will be eligible to vote in
the referendum.
The referendum will be held be
tween the hours of 8 A. M. and
5 P. M. on Tuesday, December 10,

Sliding Door Saves Space
Space savers are important in
today's smaller, more compact
homes. A useful trick of this
kind is a sliding louver door
between kitchen and dining
room, as shown in the drawing.
By gilding smoothly out of the
way, this door of ponderosa pine
doesn’t take up space swinging
out into the room as do conven
tional doors. With the door
closed, the louvers let air circu
late, keeping the kitchen from
becoming hot and stuffy.
The door can be painted or
stained on each side to match
colors or wood tones used in
both rooms. Louver doors of
ponderosa pine can be obtained
from building materials dealers
in many stock sizes and styles,
ready to be installed.
The sliding louver door idea
also is a good one for other
rooms in the house, especially
