Savings Associations Set
$780, 900 Bond Goal

With the opening of the Third
war Loan Drive this week, savings
building and loan associations set
their sights toward an aggregate
purchase OF $3.50 100000 of Govern
ment securities for their own port
follos, largest goal for single drive
which these local home financing
institutions have taken on them
selves since the war started. An
nouncement came from the United
States Savings and Loan League in
engage, whose committee named
this goal.
This direct contribution to the
financing Of the war will follow the
cash retirement by the associations
IN July and August of $40 800 900
In Government-held share accounts
which have been with the associa
lions during the last decade.
The contrast between today's sit
uation, with the associations lend
ing funds to the Government and
the period, 1853, when the major
investment of Government funds
IN the associations went up to 1851. :
000,000, is cited by Ralph H. Cake
president of the League.
He points out that only 357 of the
5000 active savings, building and
loan> associations and co-operat tive
banks in the country still have any
Government investments in their
shares, and the total now has been
whitfield down to ST. ST. 900 by extra
heavy January and July retirement
this year. AS far as can be learned,
all active associations have bought
some Government securities since
Pearl Harbor.

By MARGARET NOWELL..

How long Is 1t since you have had
your household mechanical equip
ment serviced? Even though the
washing machine and the vacuum
cleaner may not wheeze and groan,
it is good plan to give them bit
OF extra attention to keep them in
operation for another year. We are
all expected to take care of the
things we have and keep them run
ming. There still are q few new
parts available and servicemen to
do the job. ....
Women VIGOROUSLY are careless
about machinery. In the days when
it was possible to buy new equip
ment We all played into the hands
OF the manufacturers, who were
ready and happy to sell us new
washing machine, mangle or sewing
machine every time our own care
lessness ruined the one we had.
Many women expected to turn in
their washing machines on new
models, just as the man Of the house
turned IN the family car every two
years, convincing themselves they
saved the difference in upkeep costs
in addition to having the pleasure of
owning the latest model.
Often Abused.
Good housewives who understood
thoroughly the daily care of linen,
silver and fine furniture would use
the vacuum cleaner with never q
thought of oil or cleaning until it
burned out a. bearing. Week after
week when the odor of rubber &C.
companied the churn of the wash
ing machine they put of calling the
serviceman until suddenly the whole
works stopped dead.
Then they were Mortified to find
that there was a $40 replacement

Realty Boards Find
Government HOLDINGS
Are Already Surplus

Pointing out that the Fedora
Government has spent billions o.
dollars for purchase of lands and tn,
building Of plants and housing prof.
ects, the Washington Committee Of
the National Association of ReaI
Estate Boards, during its two-day
meeting in the Mayflower Hotel
which concluded Thursday, main
tanned that certain of the facilities
created or acquired already have
served their purpose and are becom-
ing surplus holdings"
"As the war progresses" the off,
cial statement declared, "and par
ticularly as we dispose of one after
another Of our enemies, greater and
greater amounts Of this federally
owned real estate no longer will be
needed by the Government"
The time is now here" the state
ment continued, when legislation
should be passed providing a sound
plan for the orderly liquidation of
such surplus real estate. That plan
should seek certain detectives and
at the same time avoid the dangers
that experience has shown beset
iiquidating programs"
The association pointed out that a
primary objective in any program
would be to reduce the national debt
to the largest extent possible by SELL
ing surplus holdings promptly and
at their fair worth. 1t added that
undue haste and conflicting liqui-
dating programs might well flood
markets and disturb the whole ma
tional economy by breaking real
estate values and incomes.
The association advocated passage
OF the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Manasco, Democrat, of
Alabama, which calls for the estab-
Gshment Of surplus lands and war
plant board. Such board would be
composed Of the Secretaries of War,
Navy and Commerce; the admins
traitor Of the FWA, two members
to represent the manufacturing In
dustry, two to represent real estate
and two the public.
Certain notifications of the pres
ent form of the bill were suggested
In the realtors statement, princi-
pally designed to clear out defects.
One Of these called for the modifi-
cation of the present provision that
property to be sold should first be
offered to the former owners. The
realtors pointed out that this could
cause clouding Of titles and would
be impractical where various par
GELS and properties had been put to-
gether into single plants or struc-
lures.
The realtors declared that an Or
derby return of industrial plants and
other property would re-encourage
free enterprise and local government
by getting back into the hands of
citizens and municipalities all prop
erty that the Government can do
without" They also warned that
unless a sound program for the dis
position of war properties is estab-
lished, with provision for necessary
recapture, the Government may
convey out Of its hands at great loss
certain properties 1t would again re-
quire with the coming of like emer-
gencies." Likewise, the realtors
warned against unnecessary duplica-
ton conflict and overlapping should
each individual Federal agency hold
ing property seek by itself to dis
pose of its holdings without co-or-
dination with the others.

I that it took weeks and weeks, while
they scrubbed by hand, to get the
new part.
Many of the shops that formerly
sold equipment now have q compe-
tent and busy repair and service de-
partment. Many of them offer a
routine checkup service every six
months at reduced rate. It IS q
good plan to get on q service list

you must and must not do. This
especially is true of your sewing

cleaned, will gum UP the. works to
such an extent that the whole head

The electric motors need grease,
not oil. The tiny little grease cups
should be filled at regular intervals
to keep motors from burning out.
Oil in this spot will cause ali sorts
OF trouble. There are small tubes OF
grease with nozzle tops which are
manufactured especially for electric
motors. Lard from the icebox OF
goose grease from the medicine
closet were not intended for electric
motors. Their use should be dis
couraged.
