THE BLOOD QUICKENs
( Riverside PreSS)

All through the long years Of subnor-
nal business, it has been the heavy con-
struction industry that Jagged most.
Plant was overbuilt, we said. and the
worst of unemployment, centered in the
heavy construction industries, seemed to
bear Us out.
Now sharp squirt in heavy conStruc-
ton works lifts building industry to the
highest point in many years. Engineering
News Record lists such awards as So
higher than year ago.
Part of this is due, of course, to the
acute necessity of building new plants
for the government rearmament pro
gram But not all. Several large power
plants and other private industrial build
ing helped swell the total.
True. this stimulation is partly the
work of the lash of war conditions in
Europe. But even this quickening of
the blood-stream of purchasing-poWer
may go far toward restoring economic
health.
