In its announcement the committee
states:
Home ownership should be taught
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. The security of the country
depends in large measure upon the
homes owned by the dwellers therein.
By increasing the number of home
owners we increase the number OF pa
triots. 1t should be every mans am
bition to own his home. thus provid-
ing for the future of his family and
himself and laying the foundation
upon which his children will build
drmness. nobility and character. Fam
however modest, which the family
calls homo. There is something sa-
cred and tender in the thought Of
planning . homo all your own and
creating around it the atmosphere Of
home life SO essential to contentment
Your Home poster should play a
most important part I'm keeping alive
that inherent feeling in avery person
to some day buy or build a home all
their own.
