cluded during the week.
The weeks activity brought the

TOBLA|NE?

While employees of the new Post
Office Department building were
perspiring because the gigantic
cooling system in the building was
not functioning, number OF
Government officials also were
rather hot under their collars.
In an effort to determine why
the cooling system was not oper-
ating, this is what happened:
An official at the National
Capital Parks Commission said he
could not comment on why the
plant was not in operation as the
building had not been officially
turned over to the commission.
An official of the Interior De-
partment said the reason the
plant was not working was be-
cause it was defective.
At the Treasury Department,
however, this is what was said:
"The contractor has been test
ing the cooling plant for As
days. Yesterday his job was
finished. So he and his workers
walked out. Today the Govern"
ment was to have taken it over
and operated it. For some rea.
SON this didn't happen. There
was no one to operate the
plant, so there you are"
And meanwhile, employees in
the building were mopping their
brows, in offices where there
were no fans. In other offices,
windows were raised to let in
what breeze was blowing outside.
The system, which costs $50 a
day, will be in operation Monday,

DEALERS OFFER
HOUSING ACT

The best and quickest way to
find out how to finance repairs
and new building in relation to
the National Housing Act is to
consult local residential contrac-
tors and builders and hometown
lumber dealers, says E. L. Gilbert,
Eastern editor, the American
Builder magazine. He says:
"The Federal Housing Admin
istratiOn recognizes residential
contractors, builders and lumber
dealers as key men. These
active building professionals are
being asked by the FHA to CO.
operate closely in the nation
wide mOdernization campaign
soon to start.
''NO other group is numer-
ically strong enough to render
this necessary service through
out the country, coupled with
the requisite technical knowl-
edge of construction methods;
but at least one lumber dealer
and one or more reliable res
idential builders will be found
in each of the 49, ,74S cities, towns
and villages in the U. s. With
1,OOO, 100000 insurance to be
written covering repairs and
mOderniZati0n, and no individ-
ual job to exceed $4,000, it is
evident not less than 100000 in
dividual projects will be started;
if each contractor takes charge
Of 10 Of these jobs, $4,000 con-
tractors will be required to ex.
ecute the work. In addition,
small jobs of $4,000 or less do
not justify any fee for high
priced d professional services;
both the local residential builder
and the lumber dealer, however,
are experienced in handling ef-
ficiently the problems ass0ci-
ated with a large number Of
small jobs.
Recent communications from
hundreds of residential build
ers and dealers show clearly
that these active building pro-
fesSiOnals have studied the pro-
visions of the National Housing
Act with the same care they
use in interpreting specifica-
tiOnS," says Gilbert. "In gen.

pective home owner will find
