SOUGHT IN DRIVE
Supply Dealers Take Lead
In Vast 'Modernize for
Winter Move.

Timing their effort to coincide with
the national recovery drive planned
by Washington administration leaders
after Labor Day, the Nations build
ing supply dealers are taking the lead
this month in a vast, countrywide
''modernize for winter" movement, de-
signed to stimulate construction ac-
tivity on wide front.
Under the leadership Of the Ma
tional Retail Lumber Dealers Associa-
ton. their national organization, the
$4,000 affiliated dealers will cooperate
with local business and trade groups,
organized labor and fraternal groups
in fostering the drive to provide en-
ployment for thousands In every State
during the winter months.
1t is planned to work in conjunc-
ton with the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration's local Offices, with stress
being placed on the facilities for
financing moernization work under the
terms Of the property improvement
plan embodied in Title I of the Ma
tional Housing Act. This plan, under
which funds up to $4,000 are avail
able to individual borrowers tom local
financial agencies, will expire next
July.
A similar campaign was conducted
in the fall of 1886 under the leader
ship OF F. H. A., and this was RESPONSE
BILE for the generation of considerable
volume of business to contractors and
material dealers and at the same time
supplied work to building labor at a
time of year when operations nor
mally decline.
The Federal Housing Administra-
ton plans to lend support to this fall
campaign, utilizing every medium of
publicity. including radio. newspapers,
car cards. posters, window displays,
direct mail campaigns, dealer helps,
exhibits and public meetings. F. H. A.
also will utilize large part of its
field force in pushing the campaign.
Better housing committees are be-
ing formed in various communities,
many of them under leadership of
local chambers of commerce. The
building supply men will take promi-
nent part in the activities of these
groups
According to Frank Carnahan, Sec
retary of the National Retail Lumber
Dealers Association, all organizations
concerned with the construction, re-
pair and modernization of residences
or other structures will be asked to
urge their members to participate in
the drive.
obvious objectives," Mr.. Carnahan
said, ARE to encourage all kinds of
eligible improvements to property, to
increase fall and winter employment
and to furnish lead-in to con-

POLISH CROPS
HIT RECOVERY
Bumper Output Only Dark
Spot in Economic
Picture There

WARSAW, Oct. %. (UP)-
The good harvest this year, oddly
enough, is the one factor which
dims an otherwise pleasing pic
ture of Poland's economic recoV-
cry since 1885.
In explaining this unusual SIT
uation, it is pointed out that the
abundant crops will result in low
prices to farmers and, in turn,
they will have lower purchasing
power as far as the cities are con-
cerned.
One of the most serious ques-
tions facing the government to-
day is that of lowered agricultur-
al prices. Farming supports about
70 per cent Of the population ana
decrease in the purchasing pow
er of this number will seriously
affect urban buying.
The great economic crisis last
ed longer in Poland than IN other
countries, Improvement beginning
in Polish agriculture only toward
the end of 1885. And for such an
agricultural nation the position OF
agriculture is decisive. Following
the Improvement, at the begin
ming of 1886, came the large
scale investment program for Pol
ish industry designed by the pres
ent vice premier and finance min
lister. EugeniuSZ KwiatowSki.
INDUSTRIAL RISE BEGAN
"The industrialization Of Po-
land" became a slogan. Extension
of Polish ornaments and cOncen-
tration of this industry in Csc
cmity triangle" in the center of
the country contributed consider
ably to the industrial rise of Po-
land.
Final recovery from the drastic
effects of the long crisis came for
Poland with the rise in agricul-
turaI prices on the world market,
the development of exports OF
farm productS-eggs, meat, but
ter and bacon - and the French
ornaments loan of September,
1886.
Currency control, in addition,
saved the previously dwindllng
gold reserves Of the Bank Of Po-
land. ,.
According to the latest reports
the number Of unemployed in
Poland has declined more than
GO per cent since 1886 to about
100000 in total population OF
about 34,000,000.
INVESTMENTS RISE SHARPLY
In his last speech Vice Premier
KwiatowSki estimated that pro-
duction of Polish industry in the
first half of 1888 exceeded that
of the same period in 1887 by
about s per cent. Investments IN
industry for 1888 are AS per

After participating in two first
