To AID HOUSING
PROGRAM

NEW YORK, Sept. ~ G.NLS0.
Nisualizing an uninterrupted 10
to-20-year period of prosperity If
the people Of the nation embrace
the Governments new housing
program, Ward M. Canaday, Of
the Federal Housing AdminiStra-
ton, today appealed to sales ex-
ecutiveS for their cooperation in
starting the ball rolling.
Addressing the Sales Executives
Club Of New York, Canaday,
FILA public relations director, de-
scribed a labor and material mar
ket which he called 80 vast as
to seem fantastic" and outlined
q program which he declared
would Ito the extent that it re-
ceives your cooperation" make
large strides toward balancing
the budget. Canaday said:
IF you will do your part
now, you, to that extent, will
help start this program to end
Government spending; to end
relief rolls; to take the Gov
eminent out of business, and
to put profits back into busi-
ness"
Canaday urged every sales ex-
ocutive to make of each of his
salesman a booster of the new
program, pointing out the bust.
ness benefits that would rebound
to their concerns. He explained:
IF you could persuade every
one of the property owners in
your community to spend $50
next week for the most needed
repairs on his property we would
have One-half billion dollars in
circulation by the end of next
week-Of which IS per cent
would go to labor.
This alone would equal more
than One-haf the total amount
that has been spent by the Gov
eminent on CWA payrOlls dur.
ing the entire period of its Op-
Grafton. If this work were
started at once it would make
an immediate demand for every
product; for your product"
Retardation of business activity
In recent years has made people
afraid that money released would
not flow back to them, Canaday
said, adding that this has caused
. Shying-off at anything that in
volved expenditure of a fixed
character.
Now, he said, with the assur-
ance that money for needed re-
airs may be available without
risk to bank liquidity, already
evidence is Enthusiastically clear
that a large part of the repairs
needed will be paid for with
cash.
Canaday listed the following
statistics revelant to housing and
repair needs:
1. There are 100000 build
ingS in the country, 100000
of which need repair. OF this
number 100000 are SO badly
deprecated as to be unfit for
human habitatiOn; the other
100000 can be saved from
rapidly accelerating deprecia-
ton If repairs are made now.
2. A survey of farm prop
critics has indicated that there
Is an immediate potential need
for repairs and improvements
on farms tOtaIling more than
six billion dollars.
3. Another survey has dis
closed that 20 per cent of city
dwellings are without either
bathtub or shower; that II
per cent have no central heat
ing plants; that 80 per cent
have no facilities for hot water;
that SO per cent cook without
gas or electricity.

Just then Nurse Jane came TO
the woods looking for the bunny,
who was late coming home with

And when Nurse Jane saw what
had happened, at first she was an

what he had so thoughtlessly done.
"But, after all said Nurse

a poem for this day which is titled
For Americas Cause
Oh! bring the banner of red, white
and blue.
Let it wave o er America IS sons,
so brave and so true,
AS they come from the battlefield
of cannon blast,
Returning home as proud conquer
ors at last.
When they left their number was
very great.
Some met only a terrible fate.
For their own life they gave no
heed,
For they knew their country was
in need.
SO, my children today who are Am
erica tomorrow,
DON It give up in despair and sor-
row.
Always keep peace II 1t can be.
But if you must, go and fight for
your country.
SO to the hero who comes give him
great applause.
For it was he who died for Amer
lea IS cause.

Here is newsl AS you know
school clocks are supposed to be
right. But the one in our room
is far from being right. If oui
teacher, Mr.. De Celles, did not have
watch of his own we would not
get out of school on time at moor

this clock is that it is never wrong
in the morning. But it is almost
