A busy person keeps thinking that he will have time for friendship later on, only to find that when he is ready to devote some time to his friends they have moved on to new friends they have no time for him.
 Today. because of the uncer- tainty of the future. it is more im- portant than ever that we find the time and the way to do the things that are important to us.

 New York - Architects and in terior designers have taken the home building and home furnish. ings problems of those with modest budgets seriously to heart this year.
 Never before have models fol low-cost houses been equally at- tractive and practical.
 For instance, in Minimum House." at the Worlds Fair, Joseph Aronson, famous interior designer has managed to provide four rooms and bath for family of four tha are charming, comfortable anc practical.
 So cleverly are the rooms ar. ranged and furnished that you aren't even tempted to wonder whether the four rooms Will seem crowded as the two children grow older.~

BED IS A
 DOUBLE DECKER

The twins room is particularly noteworthy. In this, MT. Aronson uses modern furniture, just as in the other rooms in the house. It is sturdy modern, however, obviously capable of withstanding the "rough- housing" the twins will go for in later years.
 The double-deck bunk beds oc- cupy only corner and leave most of the room for play area. Under the corner window, a large play bench is covered with the same sturdy, blue washable covering as the floor. Toy shelves near the hunks are tiered to provide safe and easy steps to the upper bed.
 Tough, washable leatherette forms a dado to protect the lower quarters of the walls. Above the dado the walls are off-white. Printed curtains are used at the windows. Small table and chairs are of stout white ash to match the beds and shelves.
 Two other bright, new low-cost houses also are featured. And these are tangible evidence that any family with an income of from $500 to $2,000 a year can now own c-and-span house for monthly outlay of about $2O. Both were built under the spon- sorship of the Federal Housing Administration.

a beam-walking climax in which
sandy teeters on the framework atop
a skyscraper-to-be, dull moments are
avoided by recourse to one OF the
most ancient of comedy tricks:
Somebody, the handiest stuned

with a tomato thrown by a kind
of Katzenjammer kid, of which there
art two in the dramatis personae.
OF Sandy herself, the picture is
q revelation that she looks mlgnty
cunning in coveralls and that she
not only has learned to talk but
is a star of such magnitude that she
is allowed to create her own dla-
lopue. 1t consists mainly of yes,
mo" "bye-bye" and hello boys
plus a highly effective ejaculation,

observation every time one OF the
grown-ups gets smacked in the
facade with fruit or vegetable.
As we say. it's cute and actually
becomes exciting during that Sc
uuence when the tot toddleS out

dition to that provided by the sky
scraper's frame work, comes from
a group composed primarily Of
Micha Auer, crack-brained inven-
tor; Eugene Palette as a stormy
old construction tycoon; Billy Gill
bert as a gentle, tongue-tied immi-
grant looking for a job; and Nan
Grey as the young mother of the
precocious infant.

Started By Board
Thorough Shdke-Up In N. L.
r. B. Comes With Mills
Appointment

Washington, D. C.-President Roose-
velt's appointment Of DR.. Harry A.
Mills to succeed J. Warren Madden
as a member of the National Labor
Relations Board touched off a series of
rapid-fre developments tending to in
dicate that the Communist-CIO reign
of domination over the Labor Board
is at an end.
Immediately following the announce
ment that Mills has been appointed,
Nathan Witt, secretary of the Board
resigned along with two other officials
and word went out that the entire La
Dor Board personnel was due for a
thorough shake-up and housekeeping.
From New Orleans came word that
President William Green and Joseph
A. Padway, counsel for the American
Federation of Labor, described the
Mills appointment as "highly salts
factory" and also commented favor
ably on the resignation of Witt.
DR.. Mills, veteran Chicago econ
omist and labor mediator, is regarded
as member of the same school of
thought as Dr. William M. Leiserson,
the Labor Board member who was
appointed year ago to correct evils
in administration but who found all
his efforts blocked by the Communist
CIO combine.
One of the chief targets of DR..
Leiserson's criticism at Congressional
Investigations of the Labor Board was
Witt, who was also denounced by the
American Federation of Labor for un-
fairness.
The two Labor Board officials who
resigned with Witt were Thomas l.
Emerson, associate general counsel,
and Alexander B. Halves, chief ad-
ministrative examiner.
Together DR.. Mills and DR.. Lesser
son constitute a majority of the NLRB
and are expected to institute sweep
ing changes and reforms, not only in
administrative matters but in the in
depreciation of the National Labor
Relations Act itself. Lined up against
them is Edwin S. Smith, CIO par
tisan and radical, who has resisted
pressure on him to resign but whose
term of office expires next August.
Commenting on the appointment of
Mills, President Green said in New
Orleans:
