the guest-speaker on this! Occa-
sion, which is the celebration OF
the tenth anniversary of the re-
organization of the former Real
Estate Brokers Association which
occurred May 81, 1921.
Special Program
A special program of entertain,
ment has been arranged and Will
be followed by an informal buffet
supper.
In discussing the progress OF
the realtors organization, Mr
Carr said:
"Prior to 1921 there had been
a Real Estate Brokers ASsO-
citation but when the reOrganI-
xatiOn was accomplished the
name of the group was changed
to the Washington Real Estate
Board and headquarters offices
were established with perma-
nent executive secretary and
clerical staff. Since that time
the board has shown gradual
increase in membership each
wear and has progressed rapidly
in developing specific services to
its members and the public"
Important Work
In referring to some Of the
activities of the realtors organ1'
Zation Mr.. Carr enumerated as
some of the more important, the
development and adoption of a
code of ethics and standard forms
used in real estate practice, in
augurating system OF arbltra
ton between members in cases OF
misunderstanding, maintenance
of complete information and sta
tistics in reference to property
ownershipS, zoning. assessments
and real estate transfers and
mortgages. He said:
Zone of the principal SER
vices the board has offered to
the public, was the operation Of
4 free service bureau. This
service, which is handled
through the executive staff Of
the board, undertakes to be of
assistance to those seeking ad-
vice or information pertaining
to real estate problems and 1t
has been estimated that be-
tween five and ten thousand
persons have used this service"
The Washington Real Estate
Board always has been actively
interested in the study and de
velopment of laws pertaining to
real estate and has co-operated
with the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and
the Zoning Commission through
special committees in working out
the practical problems arising in
the growth of Washington.

out or are used up that the basis
for a stronger demand will de-
velop.
2. At the same time, things are
getting cheaper-clotheS and food
are a good deal cheaper; so are
rents. Many raw materials are
just about as cheap as can be,
and hopes of early stability in
this group are probably war
ranted.
3. Employment will become sta
bilized before long, If it is not
already at bottom.
Willing to Buy
4. Then those who are steadily
employed will become more will
ling and able to buy things.
Things will be cheaper, so that
even If dollar wages are moder-
ately reduced, we will be able to
buy. AS the fear Of those who
are employed that they may
lose their jobs becomes less, they
will buy more freely.
S. Well-to-do persons will buy
more freely as prices become
more stable.
6. The increased purchases of
those employed and of the we'll
to-do will give business a little
boost.
7. This will cause business men
to employ more laborers, and
buy more materials cat more rea-
sonable prices in both cases..
Starting All Over
So, there you are. We will then
have a spiral of improvement
and expansion started. We will
be starting from bedrock. with
credit and prices readjusted.
Then every purchase of commod-
tiles will strengthen market and
every new man employed will
help bring employment for an
other.
Something like this will hap
pen some day. So let's be not
"bullish," but hopeful-and not
pessimistic, but courageous.

Just now I thinks there is dan
ger of getting too pessimistic
After all, there is no more sense
in being pessimistic than there is
in being optimistic. A person who
laughs all the time is apt to be
silly. But, so is one who is al
ways groaning.
AS I have pointed out before
the time to have been really bear.
ish was two years ago, when we
were being told that funda.
mentals were sound. Now, while
fundamentals may not yet be
entirely sound, they are getting
Sounder every day.
Bottom Nearing
In 1929, there was absolutely no
chance of improvement. Things
were bound to get worse. In 1881,
there is a distinct chance of i'm.
provement. Things may not get
much worse.
Both business and the stock
market may hit bottom almost
any week during the next two or
three months.
This does not give any basis for
wild enthusiasm. But it does give
a basis for sane hopefulness.
Moreover, the very fact that
everybody now recognizes the
gravity of the situation is really a
hopeful sign. We are much more
likely to make some real progress
now that we are not all hanging
over the ticker and have given
up the idea of getting rich with
out working.
Some GueSSes
How is the thing going to work
out finally? Perhaps the follow
ing is as good a guess as any:

curtailed, it is only a question of
time before so many things wear

''WWEATHER MAN" PAYS
 VISIT TO TAKOTNA

Howard J. Thompson. associate meteorologist of the United States Weather Bureau, with headquarters at Fairbanks, was amons the weeks visitors. During his stay here MT. Thompson installed ali apparatus necessary to the functionlng of the local weather service-not to regulate the weather, but only to record few facts in connection with it, such as to give thermometer and barometer readings, wind velocity, etc. As q mater of fact, his visit here was ac- companied by one of the worst wind and rain storms known here for many a day. MT. Thompson states that similar equipment has been installed at Anchorage, Seward, Valdez, Cor dova, Kodiak, Snug Harbor, Dutch Harbor, Bethel, Kanakakanak (Dil- lingham), Nenana, Manley Hot Springs, Panama, Fort Yukon, Can dle, Eagle, Crooked Creek, Flat and McGrath. Much of this service is primarily for the benefit of aviation, for which a twice-a-day service is rendered, and which consists of giv- ing the kind of weather, the ceiling, the velocity and direction of wind.
