Hone For Greater Building
Activity

Libby people will have real IN
tarast in the attempt President
Roosevelt is making to stimulate
the building industry over the ma
ton. because Libby's prosperity IS
SO largely dependent on the ium-
Der market.
In message to congress the
President suggested various things
to give the tagging house-buildlng
program greater impetus, among
them he recommended
Legislation that would halve the
down payment on small homes ana
reduce the financing charges on
them.
Legislation to stimulate large scale
construction of houses for sale and
rent. with fifty million dollar al
location from the Reconstruction
Finance corporation to give the
movement an impetus.
President Roosevelt also said he
would hold conferences with indus
try, union officials and finance
aimed at reducing the cost OF labor
and materials.
Building activity has never
reached. since the depression, the
high point it should have, IN the
Judgment of government ex-
perts. The fear that the nation IS
entering another depression has
caused a decided slump IN what
building there was, coupled with
other factors such as excessive taxes
high costs and the general fear for
the future in the minds OF those
who have money to invest. In ar
effort to forestall further reces-
sion, the President IS taking actor
that he hopes will put the spurs tf
the building of homes Throughout
the nation. This would be stlmulat
ing one of the major industries ant
would thus aid in recovery.
British Lawmakers attempted t
stimulate home building under gov
eminent control but never got very
far. But when they worked out
plan whereby private lndustr,
would take the matter over, mucf
progress resulted. That probabl,
will be the final solution here.
Industry cannot be expected t.
continue investing large sums Il
business enterprises in the face Q
a constant pounding over the hea'
of those men who have the none,
to invest, nor in the face Of constan
burdens and threats OF punitiv
measures for the future. It IS t
be hoped that more reasonable al
titude will prevail so that nations
recovery can, in fact, move for
ward without these unfortunate II
terruptions.
Libby is interested in more activ
building both from selfish and
patriotic standpoint. We wish SUI
cess to the President in his er
beavers

~ Of the Ohio and the Missis-

the good fruit Of courage and COM

Red Cross, Army and civilian alike
have taken their stand together against

Of the battle that Is being won along

Is complete without the part that

and muddy waters the sound of an
airplane motor has come to mean aid
and release. Other countries may deal
death with their planes-We are deal
ing life with ours.
Here in the airport Of this broken
city is an epic of devotion complete
in chapter and verse. Cincinnati had
never lost contact with the outside
world. but her airport went under
the river early, SO that planes could
not land there. The smaller towns
were served indirectly through recon-
naissance from the air in the location
OF stranded people and radio reports

were impossible, medical supplies and

its route from New Orleans to st.
Louis largely along the course Of the
river, has kept its planes at low alti-
tudes and its pilots on the lookout for
suddenly flooded farms and homes,
and is still on the job. But it has
been here in Louisville that the heart
of the situation was literally saved by
the airplane.
Leaving Washington late Saturday
afternoon q week ago, I flew to Cleve-
land, expecting to reach Chicago and
go South the next day. The one day
plane to Louisville from Washington
had been full because of suddenly
called for medicines and the port at
Louisville was still reported unlighted
for night landings. In Cleveland,
however, word had just been received
that the lights were working again
and was able to get ship out that
would reach Louisville shortly before
midnight. There was only one other
passenger aboard after we took off-a
young electrical engineer who had
come out after five days of strain, for,
as he said, "a bath and some clean
clothes" There had been no water
during that five days that was safe
to use-he had even shaved in soda
water. "When I got under the shower
in my Cleveland hotel yesterday" he
said, II couldn't make up my mind to
get QUIT felt so good to be clean
again. There still isn't any water to
use in the flood area"
THAT was the first statement of a
situation that was to grow stead
lily to crescendo during the time
have spent here. 1t seemed to be the
one minor obsession that overshadowed
all other discomforts-no water! In
