BUILDING HERE NOT
AFFECTED BY new
PRIORITIES ORDER
Applies Only to Critical Ma
terials Such as Steel, Cop
per and Brass
No Shortage in Basic Building
Materials, Reported by
Local Dealers

Building construction in the Bluff
to narea in not affected by the recent
order of the federal supply priorities
and ALLEGATION board (SPAB), it was
stated the first of the week by local
building material dealers.
Loans under the Federal Housing
Authority are still being granted and
construction has not been impeded be-
cause of difficulties experienced in OBJ
tanning loans.
The order of the priorities board
merely confirms a condition that ex-
listed prior to its release as a result
of the priority procedure applying to
metal products essential to building,
it was pointed out by the Ohio as
sociation of retail lumber dealers.
Critical Materials
Under the Interpretation which has
been made, the order applies only to
public and private construction which
utilizes ali appreciable quantity of
critical materials. Much building
does not involve such materials in
quantity that would be regarded as
sizable and hence does not come un-
der the restrictions, it was emphasiz-
ed.
Another factor operating to facili-
tate construction here, is that Bluffton
is in a non-defense area and govern
mental regulations will not be as re-
stricted in regard to materials were
this area strictly a defense district.
Farm Building
The order does not apply to farm
building nor does it apply to construe-
ton actually under way, according to
an Interpretation made by the lum-
Der association.
There is no ban whatever on reha-
bilitation and repair activities and
programs unless the use of critical
materials gets in to the "appreciable"
classification.
The real purpose of the order, it is
understood, was primarily to divert
the use of large quantities of steel
from many public purposes such as
post offices, harbor improvements,
flood control projects and the like dur
ing the defense emergency.
There is no authority for banning
any type of private construction for
which materials are already available,
it is pointed out.
Basic Materials
Structures which do not involve
critical materials such as steel, cop
per and brass can be erected as free
ly as at any time during the past
several years. Basic building mater
ials such as lumber, brick, stone, ce-
ment are not particularly scarce, are
not under priority control and may
be obtained for building jobs.
In Bluffton there are several new
houses likely to be erected in the near
| future, some under private loans and
others going through on F. H. A. ar
rangements.
The whole situation may be sum-
med up by saying that one contem-
plating building "must anticipate his
wants further in advance than was
the case previously" said one dealer
here Wednesday morning.

NO RESURFACINC IN
SIGHT FOR MAIN
STREET PAVEMENT
Street Will go Thru Another
Winter Without Repairs
Urged Two Years Ago
Some Hope for Federal Aid
Under Military Highway
Program for Dixie

Bluffton's Main street, resurfacing
of which was urged two years ago
by the town council will go thru
another winter without attention
from the state highway department,
it was indicated in a statement from
o. c. Kohl, state resident division
highway engineer of Lima.
The street is part of the Dixie
highway, u. S. Route 25 and as one
of the principal north and south
thorofares is called upon to bear a
large volume of heavy truck traffic.
Much of the asphalt binder holding
bricks in place has eroded since the
pavement was constructed fourteen
years ago resulting in loose and
broken bricks in the pavement which
allows water to seep thru to the
underlying concrete base.
Council Urges Action
In urging action to prevent fur
ther deterioration of the street the
town council two years ago asked
immediate application of new asphalt
binder as a temporary measure and
later resurfacing with asphalt to
seal the pavement against water and
resultant damage by winter freezing
and thawing.
Some repair work may be done
this fall on the extreme south por-
tion of the street, between Bentley
road and the corporation line, Kohl
stated. However the state highway
department has no further plans for
work on the street this year, he said
With Route 25 being the only road
in this section designated as q
military highway, there is some
hope that aid in resurfacing the
street may eventually come from the
federal government.
Planned Last Year
Resurfacing of the street wa!
planned a year ago in a conference
between town officials and represen
tatives of the state highway de
partment. Following the conferenc,
Mayor w. A. Howe announced tina
an agreement had been reached t.
do the work this summer.
Later, however, it was stated from
highway sources that shortage o
funds had hampered street work i
municipalities.
During consideration of the matte
last year it was indicated that cos
of the proposed improvement woul
be approximately $4,000. Of thi
sum the town was to pay $4,000 t
be supplied from the street high
way maintenance fund.
Paved in 1927
Main streets present brick pave
ment was built in 1927 at cost O
upwards of 100000. 1t consists Q
six-inch concrete foundation, on
inch sand cushion and three inc
brick top held in place with asphal
binder.
Resurfacing of the street woul
eliminate a traffic hazard represent
ed by steel rails of the abandone
Western Ohio interurbah line in tn
middle of the street thru the towr
Altho asphalt was placed in grooy
es beside the rails after the line wa
abandoned, enough of the rail pre-
jects above street levels to max

Capital Gossip
BY n

Raleigh, June l4.-To this desk
comes Salt Water Fishing Bulletin
No. |, prepared by the North Caro-
lima Department Of Conservation
and Development in collaboration
with National Sportsman and Hunt
ing & Fishing magazines.
After reading ii your reporter has
a very decided .nclinatlon TO cover
up the typewriter, oil up his thumb
and beg a ride TO one Of the many
ideal angling heavens described
therein.
Right off the bat the bulletin says
MOTE: Over 300 miles Of shore
line; 800 miles Of inland waterways
and approximately 1860 miles Of
coastal sound ssurc every fisher
of sufficient elbow room when
he comes to North Carolina. No
licenses are required for fishing in
North Cardinals coastal salt water,
and there is a variety Of fishing
seldom found along the southeastern
cOaSt.'

Next on the desk after the lure Of
salt water fishing along the Tar
Heel coast was a pamphlet OF the
United States Department of the
lntreior titled "Blueridge Parkway,
l94l", and bearing or the cover a
picture 'VieW from Cumberland
Knob Park, North Carolina"
Then: The Blue Ridge Parkway
affords unusual opportunities to
view the natural beauty of a country
heretofore virtually inaccessible
a country of bold panoramas, VIDE
forests and exceptionally beautiful
flora"
So the reporter was torn with a
burning desire to go both east and

mere coincidence the names of these

United States. There is d Marine in
Illinois, another Marine in Kentucky
and a Marine City in Michigan.
Adding to the seagoing nomen-

Mariner in Maine, Il Mariners Harbor
in New York and a Sailor Springs in
Illinois, not to mention a Bluejacket
far from the sea in Oklahoma.

however. have no m nopoly in the

Further evidence that Uncle Sam
