Rehabilitation
Needs Shown
In Survey
Usubie industrial
Space Still Available
In 76 Pct. of Cities

A widespread need for rehabilita-
ton of existing industrial and resi-.
dental property as a short cut to.
provision of urgently needed space
for war production and for housing
workers is revealed in a special in,
quiry made by the National Asso-
citation Of Real Estate Boards i'm
connection with its semi-annuat
survey Of the national real estate
market. .
The report shows that on the date
the United States entered the war
there was usable industrial space
still available in 76 per cent of the
Nations cities. However, in more
than half of the cities there already
was need for remodeling and re-
conditioning the industrial facilitiess
Every movement made since to in-'
tensify the war effort adds to this
need, association officials point out.
At the declaration of war need
for remodeling old houses and other
structures as quick provision Of new
dwelling units was already felt in
90 per cent of all the defense areas
of the country. Enlarged need Of
critical materials for war produc-,
ton has since emphasized and
widened this need, it is reported
by IS per cent of all the cities Of
the country. !
Speed and Conservation.
Existence of industrial structures
that can be brought into use
through remodeling or recondition-
ing points the way to speedy and
economical provision Of new room
for industry and at the same time
to the conservation both Of critical.

Tire, Auto Ban
Seen Affectinq
Housing Trend
Suburban Migration
May Be Reversed,
Builders Believe

The rationing of new automobiles
and tires is expected to create great
changes in the field of housing, the
most important being slowing
down and, in some instances, re-
versal of the migration of city dwell
ers to the suburbs, housing experts
point out.
This great migration Of urban
dwellers really began in the boom
years Of the 1920s, but gained great
est momentum when home building
emerged from the depression. Lo-
cally it meant the great development
of nearby sections of Maryland and
Virginia. New homeowners wanted
to get out where they could get more
land for their money. The trend
resulted in construction also of the
first large apartments outside the
District. New subdivisions have
been opened 10. IL and sometimes
IS miles from the heart of Wash
ington.
Banker Gives Views.
Most 0f those who have migrated
to outlying areas depend on auto
mobiles for transportation to their
of1ces. Now, faced with the possible
loss Of their cars for the duration
Of the war, the home seekers are
expected to stay close by the lines
of transportation and consequently
nearer the heart of the city.
Fred w. Catlett, member Of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board, is
one of those who believes transpor-
tation restrictions will force move
ment to stay "close to town" He
predicts also that people will turn
their installment buying to homes
now that they can't get automobiles.
Mr.. Catlett says he looks for
greater activity in residential sales
in the older sections of our cities
which have suffered from decentral-
ization in the past IS years-a move
ment recently accelerated by con-
struction of low-coSt homes on the
edges of cities for occupancy of war
workers. He states:
Restricted in the use of cars of
their own. many employees of CEN
trally located defense plants, as we'll
as other persons, will want to live
near their work-near to the busi-
ness and recreational centers," Mr..
Catlett said
March Back to City Seen.
This counter-march back into
city limits should have a favorable
effect on older houses which are
close to streetcars, bus lines and
subways. Instead of yielding to the
lure of the suburbs, many home
seeking families will make a canvass
OF properties for sale or rent on the
basis of convenience. In many
cities they find surprising choice
OF houses in good condition-and
more which can be made desirable
by some reconditioning. They will
see larger homes suitable for con-
version into two-family units that
will provide a rental income for the
buyer. In defense areas spare rooms
and apartments are quickly rentable.

ments on cars and the purchase of

realize at the present time Just how
different it is all going to be in a few
months when war production really
swings into its stride. then it may
be too late to do anything about it.
Take the business of heating your
house, for instance. Does the fur
mace in your home gulp down coal
in incredible fashion, and give you
an absolute minimum of heat in re-
turn? This may have been a situa-
ton to laugh at in the past, but
right now it behooves you to make
some change in these arrangements
or it is apt to be a bit cold around
the house if you are allowed to have
only q certain amount of coal. In
recent years great strides have been
made in the design of even the most
inexpensive coal boilers, and it is
now possible for you to enjoy ample
heat with excellent economy if you

Pioneer Social Activities

In keeping with an establish ed custom, Igloo No. Pioneers of Alaska will soon announce the opening date of the seasons card parties and entertainment. Those card parties, which are open to the public, have always been well patronized. They serve a useful purpose in the community They afford an opportunity for people to come together and in- dulge in interesting competition as well as to exchange a little current gossip between the gam es. All of which tends to break down the monotony occasioned by the long nights and short win ter days.
 At the last regular meeting of loyal IglOo No. l social com mittee was appointed and in- structed to make the necessary preparations at once to get the card series under way purchase przes provide entertainment and refreshments etc. during the course of the coming tourna- ment. It is understood that this committee has already appointed subcommittee and everything will soon be in readiness to start the social season.
 It was of interest to note the report of the Roof Garden Com mittee submitted at last meeting showed substantial net profit from that event. Characteristic of the fine American spirit always displayed by the Pioneers it was voted to match the amount above referred to with an equal amount out of the organizations treasury and invest same in U, s. Gov ernment bonds.

c. K. SETTLEMIER, WELL KNOWN FAIRBANKS NEWS MAN GOES OUTSIDE

Charles R. Settlemier, editor manager of the Fairbanks Daily ' News-Micer for more than six years, resigned his position the first of this month and left by air plane for the States. Mir. Settlemier's departure is keeniy regretted by all who knew him. Not only the commun ity, but the entire Territory as well, loses an enterprising res dent intensely loyal to the in terests of the Northland.
 Since the early rush 10 the Klondike, MT. Settlemier has been connected from time to time in executive capacities with newspapers in Dawson and var ious cities, besides Fairbanks. in Alaska.
 Before first coming North, he was associated with the newspa- per business in Tacoma, Wash.
 MT. Settlemier is heavily inter ested in mining property in the Mayo district in Yukon Territory and while he plans to live in the States, he nevertheless will
 
 give attention to his Canadian mining holdings.
 Besides acquitting himself of his newspaper duties in a most competent and efficient manner, MT. Settlemier associated him. self with the several civic and community organizations that are active in the promotion of the public we fare.
 Al a recent monday meeting of the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce, its members unani- mously adopted a resolution ex- pressing praiseWorthy recogni- ton of MT. Settlemier's persist ent and untiring efforts in behalf of all movements for the welfare and the betterment of the city.
 In going away he carries with him the sincere well wishes of all.

CONDUCTOR MISSES TRAIN, so. IT RETURNS

ANCHORAGE-So the conduc tor missed the train.
 That's the way t started, and the result was that the south bound Alaska railroad train from Curry had to back up near ly 20 mi es to pick him up.
 The train had been held up by snow and was late when it pull ed into Broad Pass. The passen- gers were hungry and the ste ward got off 10 arrange for some hot coffee for them. The conduct or, whose name was not revealed also got off to hurry him along.
 Both were surprised to look out the window and see the train leaving without them. They rae ed after it, then tried to get a speeder started to catch the flee ing train. IL was too cold, how ever, and the speeder would not respond.
 Finally they wired ahead to the train to tell the brakeman that the conductor was not on board. The train stopped, backed up all the way to Broad Pass and picked up its missing crew. The passengers thought it was a good joke. The railroad hasn't said much about it.

The shell fire failed to sink the
freighter, Parrish said, and finally
the sub finished the ship with a
torpedo.
II In addition to the three ships
officers killed, one seaman who
dived overheard to escape the
murderous fire was never seen
again. and eight men aboard a
raft have not been heard from
since the attack.
The second ship naval authori-
ties announced. was torpedoed and
sunk May Is. with the entire crew
tof IS surviving.
After the torpedo struck the sub
surfaced and the gun crew waited
until the lifeboats were out of
range before raking the blazing
vessel with gunfire. Then the COM
mander ordered the lifeboats to
come alongside.
ASKED ABOUT SHIP
"He asked us what the tom
mage Of our ship was" Third
Mate Albert j. Chickos, Is, Of
Milford, Conn, said.
I'VE told 'em q figure 1000
tons more than our actual ton
mage and you should have seen
the Huns boot and clap.
There must be tonnage con-
\ test for submarines, because our
false information made 'em
happy"
The sub commander gave the
survivors their bearings, inquired
/ If they had food, water and a COM
pass, and gave them cigarets.
A strong indication that Ger
many is running short of naval
tofficers was seen in the disclosure
by the captain of the British
freighter that the Nazis apparently
are sending out their submarines
and crews under the command of
Italians.
! The master Of the freighter
which was torpedoed off the south
coast of Cuba May u said the SUBJ
marine captain was Italian, the
crew German and the submarine
of Geramn design and make.
Four OF the freighter's crew were
killed, 81 survived.
