FOUGHT AT sOMME
Bill was assigned to the 29th
Canadian Infantry and in October
crossed the channel and took part
in that tremendous fight that is
known to history as the Battle of
the Somme.
He saw more acting in that
bloody Arras sector, and the fol

Ridge, one of the greatest battles
of the war.
Nine times-the figure nine

back to Canada, where he was
pronounced unfit for military
service. They gave him the Brit

JOINS UP AGAIN
Meanwhile the United States
had entered the war, and Bill
tried to get in the Marines. The
doctors took one look at his
wounds and said no.
But Bill had to register for the
draft, and the draft board doctors
were not so particular; or possibly
he had recovered more. At any
rate he was accepted and ordered
to report at Blacksburg, Va, for
training.
After several weeks there. Bill
was given a choice. He could go
to an officers training camp or
he could go to France. He elected
for another crack at the enemy.
So Bill was assigned to the
29th Engineers-there's that nine

Cothorihe Urges Public
And Privute Efforts
For Reconstruction
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON,
Star Real Estate Editor.


MILWAUKEE,, Nov. ga great
cooperative enlistment of public
and private effort for the replan-
ming and reconstruction, neighbor-
hood by neighborhood, of blighted
areas of American cities was called
for here today by Joseph w. Cath
arine of Brooklyn, N. Y, president
of the National Association of Real
Estate Boards, in opening the Or
ganization's annual convention.
Mr.. Catharine termed the blight
problem, that movement of popula-
ton from sections still in good
physical condition to new areas,
the greatest problem facing cities
Of the country. The rebuilding of
such metropolitan sections, now un-
der discussion nationally, would, he
said, give new and stable life to the
older portions of the cities and set
up lasting projections for home and
family life. Such an undertaking
would create new work on scale
comparable with the building of
railroads, he declared.
Cites Industry"s Optimism.
The president of the realtors
group painted bright picture for
the future of the industry. He said
that building is now 40 per cent
above the same period last year.
He stated that his visits to every
section of the country revealed op-
timism regarding the future on al
most every hand. Real estate mort
gage financing rose in September
for the seventh consecutive month.
Fifteen delegates from Washing
ton are attending the sessions here.
Charles j. Rush, executive secretary
of the Washington Real Estate
Board and chairman of the Ma
tional Realtors Secretaries Coun-
Gil, is scheduled to preside tomor-
row at the annual meeting of his
group H Clifford Bangs, former
president of the Washington board,
a director of the national associa-
ton, is participating in activities of
the committee which will select Off
GERS for next year. Waverly Taylor
of the Capital is member of the
Executive Committee of the land
developers and home builders divi-
sion, while Arthur c. Houghton, an
other former Washington board
head, is on the Governing Council
of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers.

An interesting portion of the pro-
gram late today was to be debate
