Own Your Own HONG

a \ own Your Own Home campaign is
4 ono OF the methods whereby tho United
states Department OF Labor is striving TO
bring about general revival OF tho building
industry. dormant since the outbreak Of tho
war in Europe, and at the same time assist
IN solving the vcXatiOus surplus labor Qucs-
ton There is every reason why the cam
paign should be successful, since it is not
only an appeal 10 business. but It strikes Il
responsive chord ut every hearthstone. The
very word home and more, Your Own
iomc. Will mako it succeed. Fundamental
ly, the proposition that every man should
own his own home admits OF no dispute
There are EXCEPTIONS or course, but generally
1t is accepted as true that the man who owns
MS own homo is better citizen and bettor
neighbor than he whose ambition has not led
him to acquire title to property. The owner
is thrifter. because his purchase or the debt
ne has created in building his rooftree has
made necessary tho habit Of saving He is
better citizen because, having his earnings
invested in real property. he takes deeper
and more active interest in all municipal and
State problems which are likely to affect it,
lie feels his responsibility as a factor in the
community. and as such he contributes OF his
energy and enthusiasm to those things which
teha 10 Keep 1t fully abreast OF progress.
That is the premise which has proved sound
!" a'' i'HieS' DuTlnS inc past few years
however, there have been abnormal condi-
lions which have initiated against the pros
pectivc homo builder. Those conditions are
disappearing. 1t is true that prices Of labor
ana most materials still are high, but that
Is not what is deterring the builders so much
as the fear that after contracts are let there
Will come sudden decline which would wine
out any expected profits That fear is
groundlcss, according to the experts of the
department of Labor and material supply
men. with so much Of Europe to be rebuilt
Win practically every country in the world
looking to the United States for material,
win an accumulated program Of more than
TOUR years to be carried out and the new pro-
gram undertaken, they confidently predict
mat present prices will be maintained Der-
haPs for years. If that be true, then there
Is no cause for delay, and those who build
now on q rising market have nothing TO lose
ana certainly something 10 gain
The three months Of this year show an
encouraging increase in building figures for
Richmond, and similar reports come from
other points in the State. Richmond might
win profit TO itself and lis citizens adont
inc own Your Own Home" slogan and in
ausurate campaign to make it effective.
Inc time apparently is ripe, scores OF pros
pective home builders or buyers ara merely
hesitating between hope and fear. and If the
business organizations will put themselves
oehlnd the movement it will make Richmond
one oil the busiest and most prosperous cities
IN the country.
