America is more fortunate. Despite the tremendous progress made in the past half century, we still have the power of young manhood, the wealth of un- tapped resources to carry us to still greater heights. America will go forward, surviving all obstacles. The American spirit and the American way of life will not falter nor fail. FIDiSAL DIPO$1T INSURAN ! lllMIlltl OF THI lights which automatically snap on when the door is opened, and off when the door is closed. An outstanding feature of the house is the corner window device. Windows on adjoining walls are scooted to the corner, so that two windows meet, thus leaving much usable wall space while at the same time providing a maximum of light. All windows are covered with Venetian blinds.

The center of attraction in the library is the beautiful fireplace, where the redwood and the copper blend into an attractive front. Four sun- burst grails are used as decorations. A larg~ mirror, the width of the fireplace, is sunk into the wall between the non-projecting mantle and the ceiling. Soft lights shine up through the mantle to illumin- ate the mirror. The entire north wall of the library is covered with bookshelves which are lighted from Hnder the top. A door load.~ to a s,m deck on the southwest of the house. The stairway leading to the lower floor is in redwood. "tVAYIJTE BI~OCK~ USEI) Focal point of this part of the house is the recreation "living" from the hall or from Mr. John- son's bedroom desk. There is an especially long cord on it, mak- ing- it possible even for the phone to be taken to the sun deck for use there. LOCAI~ WORKMEN The home is heated with an oil burntng furnace with a forced air unit. Lawrence Hunter was the contractor. Masonry work was done by Ed Pesek of Spring.tile. George Hunter of Tows City drew the blue prints, while Bud Kolek of Mount Vernon did the decorat- ing. The heating', plumbing and wiring was done ~by the R. I Frlnk +company of Lisbon. The designing was the work of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. The Hedges I,umber Company furnished the ~building" material. The outside of the house is made of waylite blocks, which are of high insulating value as well as at- tractive finish. The walk leading to the home is of limestone slag. A h,:ge two-ton rock from Stone City was hauled to tbe John ~on place to :~erve as the main part of a back yard terrace. The old rock suppos,dly came from the historic ,qtonc City opera house where many famous artists appeared in the days past. The oht reek came from the scone of its former glory to add jnst the right touch to the mod- ernistic new hon/e of the Johnson.~.
