WIDE COLOUR SCHEME
Lady Cynthia Mosley addressed an attentive House of Commons on a Socialist's conception of a perfect rural England. She suggested that a colour scheme should be observed when houses invaded the serenity of the countryside, says an English correspondent. In the course of her speech Lady Cynthia Mosley said: "We think it is important that a house should be discreetly and wisely placed," that it should assimilate its background, and that its colour should be suitable. With the proper use of local materials and reasonable design, it would be perfectly possible to get proper houses put up, so that they do not spoil the landscape. They need not be more expensive than the vulgar, monstrous, and hideous houses which go up nowadays. We all know how perfectly a lovely : stretch of countryside can be spoilt by one glaring red roof."
