Fandangle Opens
Juno 22 At Albany
ALBANY, T«xm, June 14—
“Give ■ Pioneer Women* a Scrub-
Board—ehe will wash the dirt out
of a Man’a shirt—and go on from
there to clean up his Morals and
his Politics” is Robert Nail’s ver-
sion o'f the 8th Port Griffin Fan-
dangle telling the story of Pioneer
Women of old Fort Griffin area.
Pioneer Women played an im-
portant part in the early settle-.,
ment of the Frontier, as Connecti-
cut Cavalrymen came to establish
the Fort on a high hill overlook-
ing the terrain, and families fol-
lowed into the new country, mak-
ing a rich and romantic history,
which robort Nail recounts in the
Albany show on June 22, 23 and
24, with the Fandangle parade of
frontier scenes iset for 5 p. m.
Friday afternoon the 23rd.
Robert Nail has had 25 years ex-
perience in the theatre—during
the time he was in the Army he
studied Ballet under George Frier-
son of Dallas, and since he was
a youngster in a backkyard thea-
tre in Albany, he went on to Law-
renceville school and to Princeton
University in New Jersey where
be headed Theatre Intime group,
and followed
of walks. Bo points oat that re-
gardless of how good a house plan
snap be, if it doooa*t suit the spot
on which it is built, there is a
groat loss of convenience and
beauty, _
Us says people who hunt a hill-
top primarily for the view the lo-
cation offers sometimes find too
much wind for comfort. Fuel bills
are likely to be higher; an ade-
quate water supply is usually
harder to find in such places and
very often accessory buildings
must be located in inconvenient
places.
Allen says it is best to plan the
entire farmstead Just an carefully
as you plan the house. Once the
buildings are constructed, nothing
much can he done to correct a bad
situation. Moving buildings is al-
ways expensive and for that rea-
son, he say* every farmstead
should be planned before actual
construction gets under way.
the ban and thers should be an
all-weather walk from the rear of
ings can bo rsachsd easily froos
the house to the barnyard.
Another suggested arrangement
is to place the buildings along a
straight walk that leads from the
back door of the houae. The first
building could be a feed storage
building, then the garage, next
the poultry laying house and on to
the bam. This arrangement, says
Allen, puts the buildings that arc
visited the most close to the house
and at the same time gets .the
buildings that should not be too
close to the Irving quarters the
greatest distance from the house.
The plans for new houses should
include the views that can be seen
fiom the windows, roof water dis-
posal, turning facilities for ve-
hicles and practical arrangement

There are many factors that
should be considered by the farm
family when plans are made for
laying out the farmstead. One of
the most important, says W. S.
Allen, extension agricultural en-
gineer-buildings of Texas AAM
College, is arranging the buildings
for convenience. Time can be sav-
ed and inconvenience avoided by
placing new buildings, including
the house, in a suitable location
with reference to buildings already
in use on the farm.
One arrangement, suggested
Allen, groups the most frequently
used buildings around a barn.
