'DREAM HOME' BECOMES A REALITY Above is an artist's sketch of the "Dream Home" of tomorrow. But. It is not a "dream" but a reality today as a four-room low cost modernistic home built from this sketch was made ready for public display on Wilshire boulevard near Highland avenue. Earl W. Muntz is sponsor and Jacque Fresco architect of the home. (For story see page A3.) CANCER WAR MODERN 'TREND HOME' SHOWN AT STUDIO The Cancer Prevention Society's modernistic $5,200 house in a package, labeled "The Trend Home" by its producer, today was on exhibit in a press preview on Stage 8 at Warner Brothers Sunset boulevard lot. Designed by Jacque Fresco and his associates to help solve the housing shortage, the pre-fabricated structure, comprising two bedrooms, living room, kitchen and dinette with side and front patios, will be given away next Labor Day by the Cancer Society. The complete structure can be erected by a crew of 10 men in eight hours. Beginning tomorrow and continuing until the Labor Day holiday, the exhibit, which includes housing displays and furnishings, will be open to the public 12 to 9 p.m. daily at the Warner Brothers lot, entrance at 1385 North Van Ness avenue. Proceeds from the 50 cents admissions will go toward the construction costs of the first unit of the cancer hospital. Queen Walker Boardman, society president, Dr. Elizabeth Mason Hohl and Dr. Catherine E. Ohnemullcr were hostesses at the press showing today. |
