him months to accomplish
One of these clubs has q membership
of twenty. A man has a lot. He gets
the lumber on the ground, and on an
appointed Sunday all the club assem-
bles at his lot and fall to work with
will. Twenty willing hands can ac-.
complish a good deal. An hour is taken
for lunch. The members of the club
are joined by their wives and picnic
is enjoyed. The club does not relin--
quish the work till the house is covered
in. The owner has to do the interior
finishing. In this way many houses are
being built all over the city, and the
example set by these men is worthy of
imitation in other communities
Real estate men. say this desire ON
the part of workmen to possess their
own homes: is one of the. most. encour-
aging signs of the future of the city.
There is. an instance recorded of
painter who follows his trade and oc-
cupied himself in his spare hours by
building his house. He paid for his
lot, and when he could save enough
money bought lumber. At the rate he
was working it would have taken him
fully five months to get into his house.
He was advised to go to the relief COM
nIittee and get help, but he refused,
saying he was not a beggar. His
friends insisted, and he was given the
sum of $20o by the relief COMMITTEES,
which enabled him to: complete his
home and install his family in comfort
