Ten years ago the advice given about this house was: “Tear it
down.” However, the family that had just bought it took a second
look. This led to a second life for the house because they decided
the basic structure was sound enough to justify remodeling. The
old screened porch was converted into an open one leading onto a
concrete terrace. Asbestos siding was placed over the old clapboards.
New asphalt roof shing’ s were applied directly on top of the old
wood roofing, a reroofing method that eliminates the expense .of
taking worn material off. Asphalt shingles were chosen for two
main reasons—fire-resistance for safety, and color for attractiveness.
A soft red was chosen from among the many solid and blended
colors in which asphalt shingles are made.

Refining —The Texas refineries will have
a big year. They now employ, in round
numbers, 46,000 Texans, and process
about 28% of all the oil refined in the
U. S. The daily refining capacity of all
Texas refineries exceeds 2,000,000 barrels.
A program to expand and improve these
facilities has been general throughout the
industry.

It has improved facilities for making more and better
