According to Crosby Kelly, the exposition's executive manager, the role of the home in America's social and economic life has been assigned a proper setting in that area along the lakefront previously used to display the world's laU est trains during the Railroad Fair of the past two summers. Representative homes especially designed to fit local conditions and to set future modes in all sections of the country* will be highlighted under the sponsorship of materials producers. Contemporary homes of accepted design, such as Cape Cod and ranch style, will be featured alongside of homes incorporating the most advanced concepts of architecture. Some of the houses will include extensive use Of glass and metal and several will be of the expandable type. Seven different types of homes are planned, each to contain between 1,000 and 2,000 squama faet of floor, space. The homes will all be completely decorated and furnished from designs by prominent decorators. Furnishings and appliances will be supplied by leading manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. The homes of the future will be partially constructed of materials and furnished with appliances not now in mass production but proved practicable in research laboratories. Home sites will be completely landscaped and a new car will stand in each driveway. "The 'Avenue of American Homes' is designed to epitomize the very theme of the Chicago (Fair of 1950," Kelly declared, pointing out that the home manifests so many of America's achievements agriculturally, industrially and commercially. If any one thing may be taken as a symbol of what our nation has achieved it might very well be the American home. For embodied therein are the manpower and dreams of the country surrounded by examples of ita, creative and cultural accomplishments." Grover MdDonald, of Dixon, is in charge of the "Avenue of American Homes" exhibit. A home show .developer of thirty years experience, he has been responsible for the construction of more than 150 such displays in various parta of the country. Visitors to the exhibit will be given copies of plans and information detailing all aspects of home construction and furnishing. ( The" Chicago Fair of 1950 will open June 24 and continue through Labor Day. Major exhibitors will be representative of the largest commercial and industrial concerns in the United States. Exhibits will be separated by numerous entertainment features, the largest and most ambitious of which will be an historical pageant, "Frontiers 6f Freedofn," which will be presented fouj. times COMING EVENTS April M C.
