cially busy month for residential

1924 families or would provide &C
commodations for about 4,500 per-
sons. Metropolitan Washington

One-FomiIy Residences
Still Most Popular

Americas revival of the residential
building habit which has featured
the 194Os to date is still based on
addiction to the one-family home,
the Home Building and Home Own
ing Committee of the United States
Savings and Loan League points out
after analyzing recent private enter
prise building statistics. The COM
mittee examined pertinent facts
about the $4,000 new dwelling units
put up in urban areas the first quar-
ter of 1941, and found an increase
from 719 per cent to 1873 per cent
between this year and last in the
ratio of one-family homes to all
newly built places to live.

Plan for Additions

An important factor to be con-
sidered by prospective home build
ers who plan to make future addi-
tions to the house is the selection
of the right type of material to be
used. Many families of moderate
means who are building only one
part of their house now and will
make additions as funds become
available have chosen specific types
of construction which are well
suited to house of this type.

Navy News

Dad! How about that herman son
of yours? Where's he headed?
Wouldn't you like to give him the
benefit of broad contacts, associa-
ton with real leaders, and the
finest moral training in the world.
Here's how you can do it!
If he is II or over, the United
States Navy will accept his appli-
cation for enlistment in the Naval
Reserves. Then If he qualities,
he'll be given training and he'll
probably see active duty with the
fleet. After the emergency, re-
CARELESS of how long his enlist
ment still has to run, he'll be re-
leased to inactive duty as soon as
his services can be spared. With
his best interest at heart, Dad, why
don't you and Mother talk it over
with the Navy recruiter Chief
Petty Officer s. w. Brooks. He is
at the Rockville post Office every
Tuesday, between the hours Of 1870
and 4:30 p. m. and will be glad to
answer all questions.
