Color of Roofing Not
of First Importance
Many miles away, as one approaches
a town, we note how conspicuous are
the roofs and church spires against
an almost solid blue-green background.
Most of us recall the days when
these roofs were hardly without ex
ception of mnatural blue-gray slate,
suggestive of the ruggedness our fore
fathers observed when designing and
building their homes. These roofs en
dured years with no attention whatso
ever. When once applied they were
entirely forgotten,
These houses were built in a period
of good, sound construction and these
very buildings are standing today
with their original roofs, beautiful in
their quaint stanchness.
In some communities vivid pene
trating color later found its way both
in natural slate and in manufactured
roofing materials, A choice of every
known shade became available to ap
pease the public taste, often with the
result that the less scrupulous builder
was tempted to give color, but un
fortunately, disregard quality.
However, the fallacy of such prac
tice is now b®ing felt. The annoyance
and expense of upkeep has injected
much seriousness in the thoughts of
the home owner or buyer.
Thus W(; are back where we started
—and a bit wiser. Color is desirable,
it is true, but if durability must be
sacrificed to attain it, it is scarcely
worth while. After all, the great
strength and sturdiness of a roof im
parts a keen sense of subtle beauty.
Put on a roof that does its duty—
sheds water, and stays where it is
put without further attention, and
add color if obtainable economically.
Plan New Home With
View to Environment
Of all the factors that must be
taken into consideration in the pur
chase of a home, environment is one
of th: most important. All other
things being equal—good transporta
tion, frequent service, accessibility to
schools, churches, stores, employment
—these and many other elements may
count for nothing if the immediate
neighborhood and those who go to
make up that neighborhood are not
in keeping with the ideas and ideals
of the prospective home purchaser.
Because of this the new home will
either fulfill all the hopes and ex
pectations of the newcomer in the
neighborhood or it will fall short, re
sulting in dissatisfaction, discontent
ment and unhappiness, and the pur
chase, instead of becoming an invest
ment, indeed becomes a cost.
Buildine Height Limit.
Believing that a uniform height for
buildings should be maintained
throughout the metropolitan area of a
city as well as within the city’s terri
torial limits, the Los Angzeles realty
board, through its hoard of directors,
will ask the county supervisors of Los
Angeles county to adopt a height-limit
ordinance for the county, a report to
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards states,
The uniformity of building heights
has produced a distinctive type of
downtown development and has re
lieved to some extent the congestion
attendant where height is unlimited,
board officials state, If buildings are
permitted to rise to any height out
side of the city limits, however, the
present healthy sentiment of Los An
geles city against high buildings might
be broken down, the board points out,
Garden Attractiveness.
The difference between just a house
and a really charming home—is the
garden, Nothing can give you more
wholesome pleasure than a distinctive,
well-chosen garden,
A border of roses—a group of jon
quils—a spattering of iris—a bed of
shy violets—what an Inspiring trans.
formation they can effect with thelr
natural charm and color, Properly
planned, they add greatly to the en-
Joyment of your home through the
best months of the year,
Many charming effects may be
achieved by planting the right sue
cession of perennials—with almost no
subsequent care at all.

The haze of a November wmorning
pet a softness upon the hills and
mellowed the bright colors of the
falling leaves as it called every man
and woman and child out into their
dooryards with the joy of living high
within them.
Most of the Colonists, having been
farmers in the north of England, now
betook themselves to the custom of
that section of the country in cele
brating the bringing in of the last
harvest sheaf. First a wicker basket
was carried into the common house,
and festooned with many colored rib
bons, as gay in its festival array as
the people who gathered round it.
When the basket was in readiness
two maidens, lifted it from the ground,
holding it between them while the
Colonists fell in two by two behind
them. For a moment there was si
lence, then there arose in full soung
that stirring processional, “The earth
fs the Lo.d's and the fullness there
of, the world and they that dwell
therein.”
Sang as They Maiched.
As they marched, they sang, filling
the clearing with music. From the
path the procession turned into the

Spread the bright board;

Let flock and field

Choice viands for our barvest tide,
But let no neighboring table empty be,
Lest our own feast become a wmockery.

For love's ingathering,

But let no lonely soul shiver without,
Lest our gay comradeship grow dim with

With music; let the singing strings

corn field. Coming to where the corn
was on the stalk, the two maldens
stopped, setting the basket upon the
ground. Again there was silence and
all stood still until the thankfulness
of the people brok forth In singing
‘% the notes of the psalm began,
the two maidens each plucked a stick,
dropping It In the basket, then stood
aside that those who followed might
pluck and deposit thelr corn, So they
sang, while each one harvested his
corn, dropping It In the wicker bas
ket, until the last ear had been gath
ered,
The burden of the full basket being
past the strength of the maldens, two
men came forth and gravely ralsed
the basket between them, With quick
ened step the procession marched
back, through the fleld and down the
path to the granary, singing a song
of thankfulness.
Having finished the marching song,
Governor Bradford bade all kneel in
a half circle around the front of tha
granary. The elder sent up -a peti
tion of thanksgiving for the riches
of the earth, forest, and sea which
had been bountifully poured on the
people.
Simpl> Ceremony. .
When the elder ceased, one of the
maidens approached the granary, un
fastening and throwing open its de ir.
Governor Bradford promptly came
forward and plucking a stick from
the basket, threw it into the grain
house. So one by one those who
gathered the corn took up a stick and
threw it into the granary until only
two sticks were left. Priscilla, blush
ing sweetly, gently dropped one of
these in the storehouse.
The second maiden now stood ferth,
holding the last stick of corn. With
her head thrown back and singing
words of praise, she dropped the last
sheaf of harvest into the granary,
closed the door, locked it and carried
the key to the governor. i
When this simple ceremony had
been completed, all stood with bowed
heads as again they sang, “The Lord
shall preserve thy going out, and thy
coming in from this time forth and
forevermore.”
! was garnered the first harvest
from the field of the great clearing,
and safely housed amid the songs of
praise of the people. One of the maid
ens who carried the basket was Prise
cilla, and one of the men who took
it back was John Alden.
A Picture
Each of us has, | think, in his mind’s
eye a Masterpiece—his own particular pic
ture of that first and famous Thanksgiving.
« « « Mine is an exquisite etching—perfect
in black and white, . . . There are inky
outlines of trees on a flawless background
of snow, . . . But there is only a sound
for the sea~—high waves beating white oo
dark rocks that guard a coast. . . . There
are sinister shadows creeping . . . and
bere a feathered headdress limns black
when the moon is bright, ~ , . There are
profiled. Puritan faces, sharp and white in
their hinger, with the cut of delicate cam
eos against the dark of their cloaks. . . «
Here——and touching a prayer book——is the
fragile hand of a girl, and there a man's
thin cheek along a dark gun barrel. . . .
The blessing that prefaced their dinner was
o white grace over them all, and their
bread was there for the blackness and the °
meat of a wild turkey hen. . . . Too
austere for your picture taste? But it is
framed in the soft gray of time. . . .
And my etching is lovelier far than your
colored Thanksgiving today, . . .
Ennobling Thought
The mere act of giving thanks tends
to make the thanksgiver happy; indi
cates u noble nature; lends dignity
apd beauty to our work; points to
mental development, since the one
who thinks, thanks; puts one outside
himself; I 8 an ald to unselfishness;
increases our capacity to receive
God's blessings; enables us to en
dure affiction and to be great In ad
vorsity; keeps alive the spiritual
sense, There Is no greater reason for
gratitude than the fact that the na
tion stops to give thanks,—Exchange.
Prosperity to Share
Rieh in barvests so abundant and in
industries so productive that the over
flow of our prosperity has advanced
the whole world, strong in the stead
fast conservation of the heritage of
self-government bequeathed to us by
the wisdom of our fathers, and firm In
the resolve to transmit that heritage
unimpaired, but pather improved by
good use, to our children and our chil
dren's children for all time to come,
the people of this country have nhound
Ing cause for contented gratitude.—
