 In Half of 58 
Fewer Than Two Per Cent Vacancies Found In
 Many Areas

WASHINGTON - Rents in-
 creased in a large proportion of dwelling units and in some in- stances more than doubled in small industrial cities and camp towns during the year since the defense program was inaugur- ated, according to summary of WPA rental studies released here by WPA Commissioner Howard O. Hunter.
 30 PER CENT INCREASE
 More than half of 59 communities surveyed showed rent increases for more than 309o of their rental dwell ings. In half of the places surveyed |the average increases were more than |209o of the rent paid in March, 1o40. A summary of another series of studies, on vacant dwellings available lin defense areas, disclosed that in |009o of the areas the vacancy rates in recent months were well below the l59o level which is considered normal. In two out of every five of the areas the housing situation was found to be critical" with fewer than 29o of the dwelling units vacant.
 LEAST ABLE TO PAY
 Tn number of areas the rent in .creases have been truly startling. They are hardest, however, on the families who are least able to pay, because in most instances the increases have been relatively greater on the poorer and cheaper dwellings," Hunter said. In Burlington, Ia. the study showed, more than half of the rents had been raised and the average increase was 3390. In Leesville, La, almost three fourths of the rents had been raised, the average increase amounting to 1Ooq6.
 1Ol PER CENT JUMP
 More than three-fOurths of the
 rents in BrOwnwoOd, Tex, were
 up, and the average increase was
 64 per cent. In the small town of Starke, Fla. near Camp Bland
 ing. seven-tenths of the rents had
 been raised an average of 1Ol per cent.

Pacific T
 Workers Win
 Peak of $55
$3 Over Previous High ; New $25 Minimum For
 Building Service Men

SAN FRANCISCO-Wage in- creases of $2 to $3 for top-rate men and larger increases for some lower-paid workers are provided in supplemental agreement won by the United Brotherhood of Telephone Work CTS of Northern California & Nevada.
 RETROACTIVE
 The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. has agreed to make the new rates retroactive to June 1.
 Under former schedules, a man drawing $39 at the end of four years service would get annual increases until he reached $52 after completing eight years. The new peak is $55, with the system of annual step-ups retained.
 Increases at other stages of the step-up during the 4-year period would be greater. Thus an employe getting $48 after seven years service would be jumped $7 to the $55 scale as soon as he finished his eighth year.
 Among the new maximum scales are: central office maintenance and cable splicing $55, outside mainten ance and installation $53, linemen and framemen $51, drivers $44 and $46, building servicemen $32, cleaning women and elevator operators $25, garage mechanics $51, carpenters and painters $51.
 REFERENDUM HELD
 The agreement stipulates that s'all employees will receive at least one increase in the present rate of pay during the year j 1941." In a statement submitted to the union membership, the general committee said it con- sidered the terms s'the best that can be obtained from the cOm- pany at this time." Approval was given in a referendum.

Paul II. Puffer. Norge general
sales manager, said Saturday.
Offering fully automatic defrost-
ing for the first time in domestic
refrigerating history, the Norge
Night-Watch brings major re-
frigerator improvement in elimi-
mating the most irksone task in
refrigerator care-defrosting.
Operation of the Night-Watch
is fully automatic. Controlled by
a self starting electric clock
mounted in the front Of the re-
frigerator, il defrosts every night
between midnight and 3 a. m. No
attention is required, no buttons
must be pushed either TO start or
stop the process.
a major advantage is a marked
increase in efficiency of the re-
frigerating unit. Daily defroSting
prevents the formation OF any but
the slightest trace OF frost on the
coils and thus eliminates the in
sulating blanket Of frost and ice
between defTosting periods Cur
rent consumption is thus lowered.

maintain proper temperatures
while operating only small part
Of the time.
Defrost drain dripS into Norge's
exclusive HandefroSter, wh / c h
needs emptying about once a week.
The Norge covered Coldpack
meat drawer combines with the
Night-Watch and Handkerchief TO
eliminate one more operation
which makes defrostlng a trial,
the rearranging of food during
defrosung time. Since the Cold
pack is never used a a deffosting
tray, meats stored there may be
kept undisturbed during defrosting.
To freeze ice cubes or desserts
after midnight, 4 night freezing
switch Is provided. BY merely
pressing this, the defroStlng action
is cut out until the switch Is
changed back 10 normal position.
For those who sleep during the

Arrangement of Furniture
Aids In Home LiUabilitu

Home decorating experts say
that every object used for every
day living should serve two pur-
poses: one of utility and one of
beauty. Objects lacking either one
of these two requisites do not func-
ton to their fullest advantage.
Furniture must serve not only
useful purpose but an esthetic
one as well. In short, it must serve
as a decoration to the room and at
the same time be a physical con.
venience.
Intimate grouping for conversa-
ton and relaxation is the keynote
in arranging the living room furni-
ture. especially in the small house
where this room is the center of
family life and guest entertain
ment.
For example. take the average
home on any evening: one child
may be playing. another studying;
the man of the family may be
reading the paper, or deep in
problem t the mother may be doing
one of a dozen minor household
tasks; a guest or two may have
dropped IN.
BY thoughtfully grouping the
furniture about the various centers
of the room-the fireplace. a radio,
desk. or bookshelves-each men,
Der of the family can pursue his
particular interests without dis
turbing the others.
Care should be exercised that
furniture groupings are not placed
in the line of traffic" through the
house. or else they will serve as a
constant source of awkwardness
and ANNOYANCE.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-02-16

Thus for every room of the
house it is wise to lay out a def
mite plan for furniture arrangement
which will take full advantage of
the individual functions of all
pieces and at the same time pre-
serve a unity of feeling together
with an appreciation of the fam
ily's habits.
When a new house is being built
it Will not be difficult to plan the
house for ease of living
Without careful attention to
furniture placement in the begin
ming, waste and dissatisfaction are
