who, in turn, had just put the tea
towels carefully back on their rack.
libby was startled at the open
misery on Marg's face, the stark
despair in her eyes. She had
thought herself prepared for some
sort Of revelation, but not for one
Of such content, for Marg said now,
bluntly, grimly, as was her direct
way, when finally she did bring
anything to light:
You see, lib. I'm in love, ter
ribly in love, when thought l was
through with it, cured, In fact"
OF course this was not such a
surprise to libby as 1t might have
been, but what surprised her was
that she accepted the intensity Of
Marg's confession without question.
That terribly" told a great deal;
1t held all the force, all the futility
that real love could arouse.
Why should you want TO be
cured, through with it," libby
asked. In way she knew that, too,
for she was quite sure that Marg
had been in love before in much
this same way, just as she wal
sure that she had been hurt.
It's long story" Marg said
Not a very pretty one. Pretty
things don't seem to come my
way" This did not hold bitterness;
she just stated a fact. II was en-
gagged to a doctor when I was in
training, but he met-and mar
ried-a wealthy patient. That made
1t nice for him. because she set him
up pretty all right, but rather awk-
ward for me. We had been engaged
for four years, all through HIS
period Of training. l had all my
things ready, the invitations to our
wedding even were In the mails"

solicitude. She had been right, then,
about Marg's linens belonging to
her hope-chest; right in thinking
that because one man had failed

Marg said. TITS an old story, al

libby was used to Marg's get

her rantings, but she felt that there
was more behind this than seemed
called for. Was Marg trying to tell
her something about herself? Was
she being fiippantly bitter because
she knew she was going to be hurt
again?
libby realized that the radiance

week, starting with the morning
after the crack-up on Lake Michl-

Housing Run-Around

1t Is fortunate that the run around
which prefabricators of demount-
able housing have been experiencing
at the hands Of Federal authorities
Is not typical Of all the Governments
dealings with businessmen seeking to
participate in the war effort The
delays, confusion and ineff1ciency in
general which repeatedly have
plagued the prefabricated housing
program from it's inception shortly
after Pearl Harbor are set forth In
number Of letters received by The
Star since publication OF an article
recently relating how the program
has begged down. The diary" in
yesterdays Star of one contractors
difficulties in getting action from
Washington Is an altogether shock
ing and distressing narrative.
Although the demountable housing
program was launched early In Janu-
ary as super-emergency project,
designed to provide temporary shelter
for thousands of war workers in
critical areas in the shortest possible
time, the facts are that some three
months later less than half a dozen
of f1fty-seven contractors who were
authorized to prepare plans and
order materials have been given
signed contracts and not all Of these
have received the necessary orders
to start construction. At the Norfolk
Navy Yard, where the housing situa-
ton Is particularly acute, vital war
work Is being impeded by loss Of
workers who cannot find places to
live. One firm which obtained in
February a contract to build 5000
prefabricated houses in the Norfolk
area was still awaiting a proceed"
order and priority rating at last
reports.
Although at least one contractor
charged, in letter to The Star, that
the chaos is attributable to "sabo-
tage' by some officials who were
prejudiced against prefabricated
houses. the consensus was that the
situation has resulted from several
factors, including lack of co-ordi-
nation in the offlcial setup in the
early stages Of the program (all
Federal housing agencies since have
been consolidated), too many Gov
ernment architects and engineers
with different ideas as to design and
construction, inability to find suit
able sites and various sorts of red
tape and bungling. This deplorable
state Of affairs should be remedied
at the earliest opportunity. 1t is to
be hoped that the new housing ad-
ministrator, John B. Blandford, jr.,
will be able to get this important
program moving effectively and eff
ciently before many more valuable
days are wasted.

be put into mass production to pro-
vide training ships for the Navy's
air cadets. 1t is also proposed to
build plywood military transport
planes and cargo carriers.
Army flyers, it is reported, may be
trained in planes using low-alloy
steel, in place of aluminium alloy,
which is urgently needed in the pro-
duction of bombers and fighters for
the United Nations. North American
Aviation. Inc, recently announced
the successful use of low-carbon
steel in the manufacture of air
planes. According to the designers,
the new craft, in strength and
safety, will be equal, If not superior,
to the present aluminium alloy
planes.
1t is estimated that the use OF
wood, in single plane. will save $50
pounds of aluminium alloy and 1000
pounds of low-alloy steel per plane.
In training combat flyers for our
rapidly expanding air forces, thou
sands of planes will be needed. BY
making more aluminium available for
fighters and bombers, construction Of
plywood and low-alloy steel trainers
thus may increase substantially the
offensive power of the United States.
