Although home ownership has in
creased measurably during the last
few years as the. result of educational
programs carried on by realtors and
savings associations. the. ma jority of
American families still pay rent. Only
about 35 per cent of American families
are under their own rOoftreeS. This
proportion could be largely increased
in the opinion of city real estate
manager. if as much stress were placed
on the spiritual values as on the mere
financial value of home ownership.
Assuming that the purchase is
properly financed" lie says, "the ma
terial advantage of home ownership
over renting is indisputable. To my
mind, however, the greater benefit is
the enrichment of life itself that comes
with planting ones own roots in the
soil.

the land and the house that stands on

in an amazing number of ways. He

Washington's taxicab war will go
to the courts again today, when the
driver OF a Yellow cab will answer
in Police Court charges that he
violated the law regarding IL" or

The taxicab driver was arrested
on Pennsylyania Avenue yesterday

engaged the taxicab at Thirteenth
and II Streets Northwest. and, when

that the Black and White and
