ment building. But you can't watch
the man next door teaching his babies
to walk or coaxing his roses along
from year to year without having
very human and brotherly feeling for
him. Owning a home Is good for
ones soul
Home ownership encourages thrift
because saving for the first payment
often lays the foundation of thrifty
habits, while meeting payments reg
ularly establishes those habits. 1t
conduces to thrift In the administra-
ton of public funds, because those
who pay taxes on homes are keenly
interested in what Is done with their
money. It makes good citizens, be-
cause those reared in owned homes
are apt to have greater respect for
the law and right of others. Finally,
1t yields a dividend Of happiness
every day and accumulates a princi-
pal of security and freedom from
worry, Home ownership Is good for
the individual, the community and
the country.

Home! To the infant 1t is a place
of love and attention; to the thought

to the youth just on the threshold of

"The pride of home ownership
builds man and communities. 1t
gives men sense of responsibility
and feeling of Importance. The in

home for her family is enhanced by
the feeling of proprietorship and the
security of ownership. Home owner

mo person except a fool will spend
any time, energy or money to make
any unnecessary changes, no matter
how desirable they may be, in a place
of temporary abode, house owned
by some one else, Q house to which
they owe no allegiance. The thrill Of
home ownership brings the desire to
improve. This constant struggle for
improvement makes the community
more attractive. 1t instills into chill
dren the spirit of civic betterment,
so that when they grow into men and
women they will strive to make their
community a better place in which to

AUTOISTS BRAVE
BRIDGE FIRE

HAVRE DE GRACE, Sept. %
Motorists, halted by a fire at the
Perryville end of the State bridge
across the Susquehanna river, last
night risked their lives in a dash
through the flames rather than
face the prospect of a detour back
to the State bridge at Conowingo.
Traffic from the Havre de Grace
race track was at it's height when
the fire broke out.
Flames, famed by a southwest
wind, spread rapidly along the floor
ing from the Perryville end for
about 80 feet.
After a moments hesitation, the
track patrons aban-
doned the idea of a tedious re-
treat to Conowingo and drove
through the flames.
Authorities from PerryVille and
Havre de Grace, alarmed by the
proximity Of gasoline tanks to the
burning flooring, forced the traffic
to halt.
The fire departments from Perry
vile and Aberdeen were stationed
on the bridge to fight the fire,
while the Havre de Grace depart
ment embarked with a pumping
engine on a barge and fought the
flames from the river.

Stiles had just driven his car to
the curb in, Woodland Avenue, near

cort her to the motion pictures,
when a man stepped on the run
