Building operations of the en-

provide at least the elementary

The urgent need for this spe.

property inventory conducted by
the Department of Commerce in
81 American cities.
Sixteen per cent of owner-occu.
pied homes were found to have
neither bathtub nor shower, the
sectional variation being from
nearly 35 per cent in the East
South Central States to less than
9 per cent on the Pacific Coast.

hobby or invention in which he is

Decrease Size
Of House for
Economy

While the majority of home
owners planning improvements
want to provide more room
there are a few occasions when
the aim is to cut down space.
This is true when the chill.
dren are all married, with homes
of their own, and the mistress
of the house finds a large house
something of a burden.
In the general remodeling of
two-story structures it is ad-
visable to consider with an
architect the question of rear.

Careful planning of room ar.
rangement and modern house
keeping devices can relieve the
burden of housekeeping to a
remarkable extent, and the re.
duced space can reduce heating
and similar costs.

Home Workshop Aids
In Minor Repairs

Home workshops where practi-

hobbies may be pursued are being
installed in the basement or the

also in old homes which are being
moderniZed.
A workbench, tool neatly ar
ranged on pegs in the wall, wall
cabinet for nails and screws of diff
ferent sizes, a closet with shelves
for paints and brushes, racks or
storage places for boards, mold
ings and other materials, fixed
and movable lights, and power
outlets for running small power
machinery help make the work
shop an enjoyable place in which
to work.

FLA LAUNCHES
FARM HOME
CAMPAIGN
Seeks to Get RuraIiSts to
Improve Dwellings Under
National Act

A campaign to acquaint $780,
900 farmers of the United States
with the provisions of the Ma
tional Housing Act, which make
possible the modernization OF
their homes and equipment, is be-
ing launched by the Federal Hous-
ing Administration, in coopera-
ton with State and county farm
organizations.
The present plan is to bring the
campaign to a climax before the
farmers become too busy with
their Spring plowing.
Urge MOdernizatiOn
A small group of field men Of
the Farm Section of the Housing
Administration will work under
the Regional Directors, and in CO.
operation with the State Associ-
ate Directors in charge of mod
ernization, in their efforts to
bring to the direct attention of all
the farmers in the country the
benefits which are available to
them under the modernization
program.
Letters have been sent to heads
of farm organizations in each
State asking for their aid in this
intensive campaign. One of the
first steps will be to form State
advisory committees on rural
housing.
Agencies Cooperating
Among the officials and organ
izations which are being invited
to cooperate in forming these COM
mittees are the State extension
director, State home demonstra-
ton director, home management
specialist, head of the agricultural
engineering department, extension
agricultural engineer, director of
vocational education, emergency
relief administrator, president OF
the State farm bureau, master OF
the State Grange and president of
the State Farmers Union.
Local Campaigns
Present plans include the organ
ization of campaigns in most of
the 3,072 counties of the United
States, with special meetings in
which the local civic bodies will
be asked to take part.
Wherever the better housing
committees are organized on a
countrywide basis, these commit.
tees will be asked to enlarge their
activities in order to include farm
modernization.
Where there are no countrywide
committees, the Housing Admins
tration's representatives will seek
the active cooperation of all agen-
cies in the county interested d.
rectly in farm improvement.
