CHEMIST URGES
HOME CHECK

The approach OF spring means
check-up time to home owners,
according to Henry A. Gardner,
paint research chemist, who ad-
vised property holders this week
to make a careful survey of
siding, roofs and porches, and
take stock of damage to exposed
surfaces from harsh weather and
long neglect.
Discussing proper temperatures
for exterior painting, DR.. Gardner
said:
"Any temperature above 40
degrees F is satisfactory, but
the spring months are eSpe-
cially suitable for outside paint
jobs, since there is less likeIi-
hood Of sudden extremes Of
heat and cold"
Win a br1ef tour OF inspection,
the home owner can determine
for himself whether his property
is endangered by paint neglect,
DR.. Gardner pointed out. If
painted surfaces are glossy and
smooth, the dwelling place is well
protected against the elements.
But If the gleam has gone out
Of the paint" he warned, "if
the surface is dry and chalk-like,
it is high time to call in q
painter" DR.. Gardner says:
"The forces of weather are
inSidiOuS and relentless. To
owners of wood, brick and
metal structures, it would seem
almost as If some evil power
has q grudge against us mOrtals
and tried to tear down all we
build. Consequently, protection
Of valuable property when the
necessity for protection becomes
apparent is no more than COM
mon sense. In other words
when the right time comes, it
Is wiser and far cheaper to
paint than to prOcrastinate."

EXPERT LAUDS
STOCK BILL

CHICAGO, March 10.-Seeing in
the proposed stock exchange reg
ulation bill substantial benefits
to home owners who depend for
their financing upon local thrift
and lending institutions, Harold
T. Donaldson, of Lansing, Mich.
painted an optimistic picture OF
the next few years in an address
before the North Central Build
ing and Loan Conference here
today.
Mr.. Donaldson said that even
if the proposed measure is modi'
fled in it's most stringent pro.
visions, it will keep a great deal
of money which never belonged
in the speculative field at home
and in the thrift institutions. Di'
rector of the United States Build
ing and Loan League in the dis
trict which composes the North
Central Conference, he said:
"HOme financing institutions
will get their share Of the
money thus barred from the
exchanges and the problem of
new money will become less and
less important in our activities
as the year goes on"
Mr.. Donaldson opposed the
drastic suggestions made in some
quarters to put the Governments
credit or the taxpayers money
behind real estate financing Of
all kinds.

Expenditure Relieved
Federal Burden

CHICAGO, Mar. 10.-From the
building and loan associations, a
great part of them in the small
communities which popular mort.
gage and construction statistics do
not touch, comes an indication OF
the past four months activity in
mortgage lending which estimates
that $112,000,000 worth of financ-
ing has been done in the small
home field during tha time.
Morton BodfiSh, executive vice
president of the United States
Building and Loan League, shows
how these community financing
institutions have spent large
part of their available funds for
the protection of worthy borrow
ers against the circumstances OF
depression.
Two Glasses
In the States reporting their
building and loan association &C.
tivities for the summer and early
fall, he finds 73 per cent of the
funds advanced for two allied pur.
poses-either the refinancing on
long term basis of straight mort
cages which had come due in
other institutions and faced fore
closure, or the recasting of the
associations own borrowers loans
so as to allow for easier payments
by the month.
Bodfish pointed out that in this
way the building and loan associa-
tionS are taking over sound loans
which would otherwise be knock
ing at the doors of Uncle Sans
relief organization, the H. o. &C.
He cites the coincidence of these
building and loan activities with
the policy Of the recovery pro-
gram, recalling recent statement
by the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board that the help which home
owners have received in the exten-
sion and refinancing of their mort
cages in the present mortgage in
stitution is vital part of the pro
gram. He said:
Building Increases
meanwhile, we find from
these figures that there is con.
siderable small home cOnstruc-
tiOn and purchase of small
homes going ON throughout the
country and financed by the
building and loan associations.
"The construction loans in.
clude those made for mOderniza-
tiOn and repair of existing
homes, one of the most needed
activities in the entire cOnstruc,
ton field today. The building
and loan associations reporting
their recent lOaning operations
allOcated IL per cent of the vol.
ume of financing to cOnstruc.
tion and mOderniZatiOn loans.
We emphasize that great deal
Of this is in small communities
where the construction analyst
does not bother to count the
new houses built, and the build.
ing and loan association is the
first thought of everybody in
town who wants a home loan"

UNIFIED POLICY
ON HOUSING

CHICAGO, Mar. 10.-A unified
nationwide policy on housing is
being considered by the National
Association for Better Housing.
A group of so civic, social, and
business leaders has been ap-
pointed as a governing council,
headed by j. Soule Warterfield,
vice president of the Starrett
Building Company, acting chair
man of the conference, to carry
out this plan of unification.
A five-point housing plan be-
fore the governing council for
action follows:
l. That there be established
some agency for serving as a
clearing house of information be-
tween the several branches OF
the industry.
2. That steps be taken at once
to institute a market study OF
the home building field, with a
view to ascertaining in thorough
and scientific way the nature Of
the public's wishes as to the
kind, type, and location of homes
desired.
8. That a special committee be
promptly to consider
what steps may be taken to speed
up greatly the volume Of mod
and rehabilitation to
be done during this coming win
ter. It is felt that this type Of
offers possibilities Of
job-making that have an especial
appeal at this time.
4. That particular attention be
given to extending the type Of
housing project proposed by the
of Euclid, Ohio, and ap-
proved before the conference by
Robert D. Kohn, Federal housing
S. That the relation of housing
to community planning be en-
phasized and, in order to facili-
tate the development of compre-
hensive community plans, the
conference respectfully recon-
mend to the Federal Public
Works Administrator that the
function of planning itself be
recognized as a public work, and
as such eligible to receive grants
and loans such as public works
that involve physical construc-
ton can now obtain.

Correct Paint Aids
Recreation Rooms

Rooms that have been con-
verted into recreation rooms or
home bars with partitions of wall
board, frequently demand novel
and unusual color treatment. If
the wallboard has not already
been sized, treat it with a good
interior spar varnish thinned
with turpentine to about the con-
SiStency Of linSeed oil.
II a small quantity OF the
paint that is to be used as the
finish coat is added to the var.
nish-Size, the size coat will often
answer the purpose of a printing
coat. The wallboard may then
be finished with two or three
coats of any wall paint.

Is SCHOOL WORTH ITS TIME AND
WORK?

School is triesome, and exceedingly
so when one is doltish Even to the bril-
liant student, who can do all the re-
quired work well, with no effort what
soever, school becomes boresome, bui
to the majority to whom learning comes
only with exhausting labor, school be-
comes next thing to unbearable This
is the viewpoint of the unhappy stu
dent. He can not or will not look be-
hind him. He can not see the dry hard
preparation for the career he has Sc
lected for himself and is unable to see
that, unless he works and overcomes
his lack of interest in school and in all
preparations, success can never come.
It was during good times, high wages,
and plenty of jobs that one boy dropped
school. For time all went well. He was
young and not easily tired He could
pick up a job as fast as he dropped one.
When hard times came, he was among
the unemployed. Only one way was left
open-the navy. He applied but was re-
fused. Why2 Not eligible physically2
No! He had never passed his eighth
grade examinations. How much time,
strength, and money are spent studying
eighth grade books?
Weeks are being spent on subjects
meant for youngsters, when a Junior
High student could be training for his
chosen work. After all isn't school
worth its time and work?

Burglar Makes
Way With $50
From School Fund
Gains Entrance to Commercial Room.
Rifles Desk Of Basketball Receipts.
OverIooks Other Money.

Some unknown misrreant broke into
a locked desk in the commercial room
of the Libby high school last Friday
night and made way with about $50
part Of which was receipts from the
Libby- Columbia Falls basketball game.
The money was placed in a sack and
locked in drawer of desk in the
commercial room by John Hughes, who
is treasurer for the high school activi-
ties.
Just how the burglar gained entrance
to the building and room is not known,
as there were no broken locks, windows
or other evidence Of forcihle entrance.
However, attempt had been made 10
force the lock of the desk but that sail-
ing, thin board in the back Of the
desk was broken off which provided
access to the drawer containing the
sack of money. This was "fishedn out
through the back Of the drawer. An
additional sum of about $40 was in a
box in the drawer bur this evidently
was not noticed bv the burglar.
1t is thought the thief might have
hidden in the building until after the
basketball crowd had left and the
building locked I'D for the night, after
which there would have been no one
to interfere with his work.
