Tribune Washington Correspondent

Washington, June 23.-Today isn't
exactly Christmas, but your CORES
pondent must report at once about
the Jingle Bells Committee, because
he has just obtained the lowdown
on 1t.
I forget the official name for 1t,
but it's known as the Jingle Bells
Committee throughout the Interior
Department, because it's the depart
mental committee handling the REIN
deer problem in Alaska.
The fate Of $1,000 reindeer de-
ponds on its long and frequent de-
alterations.
Reindeer are the meat supply Of
the Alaskan natives and the problem
arises because q private company
claims title to most OF the animals.
The villagers claim title to many Of
them and, since the deer roam free
over the ranges, nobody can tell
which reindeer Is whose.
The company tries to round up
the reindeer every year and brand
them, but In roundups 40 per cent
OF the little does and fawns are
crushed or otherwise done to death,
SO what the heck?
Is there going to be New Deal
for reindeer and the natives who
haven't any money and must live
on deer meat? You bet! The good
old Jingle Bells Committee IS fixing
1t up so Uncle Sam will buy out the
private company, let the reindeer
roam untagged, and allow each vii
lage to kill all it needs for food.
The company can be bought out
cheap-after it's audited-because It's
In bad shape, since low beef prices
ruined its market for reindeer meat
in the United States.
There are too many reindeer In
Alaska, anyway. The government
introduced the first reindeer 30 years
ago and they multiplied at incredible

Home Ownership Pays

Speaking to the national conven-
ton Of American realtors, Bernard
johnson, editor Of the American
Builder, recently outlined the five
factors which affect the economy OF
home building and home ownership.
These he presented as follows:
l. Cost Of lot.
:. Cost Of construction.
3. Cost Of financing. including
promotion charges.
I. Refinancing and similar carry
ing charges, including interest.
5. Operating costs.
There was . time. johnson re-
counted, when actual construction
costs represented only about half the
investment In = home property. The
other four items bulked excessively
largo g tho result Of promotional
ventures which had to b paid for.
In some cases this promotion cost
was a. much - 20 per cent OF the
total
Nov. however. the situation Is dif-
ferent. Improved lots are cheap IN
Bismarck, and the sams y true else
where. Financing Is readily available
Ut relatively low interest rates. The
change from nix per cent to five per
cent, for example. = declared to
mean . saving Of 1871 per cent On
the cost Of the property over . period
OF 10 years.
The tendency now Is to individual
construction. Company promotions
OF housing developments have van
ished along with the Jerry" building
and Jerry" financing Of the boom
era which they brought into being.
In enterprise - well q In use the
home = becoming IN individual mat
ter.
All Of which = . good thing for
the nation and for the individual.
The man whose roots 60 deeply In
to his native soil Is moro likely to be
. success, In the long run, than one
who u not. Home ownership does
things to the mind and spirit which
lre inescapable. And they are good
things.
In addition, there q more satisfac-
ton In living In . place which We
really can call home without thought

trend.

cember l.
The recent agreement with Great
Britain reached at a conference in
