Set Deadline For Filing Contract

The Union Executive Committee successfully committed the Man. agement to Saturday as the dead line for filing all necessary data and documents with the Shipbuild- ing Commission of the War Labor Board to obtain approval of the new contract.
 Although the Union appreciated that a great deal of detailed work was necessary in order to complete all the data required on the ap- plication, yet progress was all too slow to suit the union leaders and hence they brought this question to the attention of the Company and insisted upon the deadline.
 Immediately after the filing of the necessary papers, 1t is the plan of the union to take every possible step for speedy approval in Wash ington. The union leaders will keep a constant pressure on the Ship building Commission and impress this group with the urgent neces- sity for immediate action on the Electric Boat Contract. The Union leaders have a very impressive argument because local workers have been without contract since the 23rd of June. 1943. In addition, the union intends to emphasize to the Shipbuilding Commission that placing into operation without de lay the proposed incentive system will result In the production of more submarines for Uncle Sam. Early approval by the War Labor Board is hoped for by all local workers.

Method Given 10 Figure
Asbestos Squares Needed

Estimating the amount of asbes-
tos shingles, or other roofing needed
for most types of roofs. isn't as
difficult as it might seem at first
glance The main thing to remem-
Der is that roofing is sold in
squares" and square" is enough
10 cover 100 square feet.
To, determine the number of
squares needed for shed type roof,
merely multiply Gn feeD the length
of the roof by the length of the
rafter and divide by 100 For gable
soof, proceed in the same way but
double the total before dividing by
100.
The area of gambrel roof can
De figured by adding the lengths of
the four sloping sides and multi
plying by the length of the ridge.
Then divide by 100 to find the num-
Der of squares required.
The hip type roof takes little
more figuring First, add the length
of the ridge to the length of the
cave which parallels it. Then null
tiply by the distance from ridge to
the cave. That will give the total
area of both quadrangular sides. To
this total must be added the area
of the triangular sections at each
end. So next multiply the perpen-
dicular of one triangle by it's base
Add this total to the previous one
divide by 100 and you have the
number of squares needed.

Building Of Homes
Held Major Problem
OF Reconstruction

Home shelter will be an important
postwar reconstruction problem, the
Home Building and Home Owning
Committee of the United States
Savings and Loan League declared
today. The group added that in its
estimation there is greater scarcity
OF homes now than has been Eek
perienced in modern times"
Even in America where none of
the 100000 dwelling units listed in
the 1910 census have fallen victims
to bombing or burning at enemy
hands the curtailment of normal
home building by 40 per cent be-
cause Of war needs has helped ag-
gravate the world shelter shortage
1t was pointed out.
"As a result of these conditions
homes have scarcity value in
terms Of emotions and desires, if
not yet translated into dollars and
cents. which is greater than the
world has experienced in this
century" commented John F. Scott,
chairman of the league committee.
Not since the home hunger of the
18th century was reflected in migra-
tions to this undeveloped country
and In the settlement of numerous
colonies around the globe has there
been anything like the high pre-
MUM on shelter which the post
war world will see as result of this
war"
The committee holds that owner
occupancy of shelter will enjoy an
enhanced prestige in the postwar
decade, because of the innate sense
OF security which comes from
ownership of land, and the psy-
Geological necessity for millions of
families to regain their sense of
security in the world.
This postwar real estate problem
can begin to be solved, at least in
this country, before victory is won,
the savings and loan executives de-
clared. Specifically they recommend
that families be encouraged to save
for down payments on their future
homes, both by the dedication of
their War bond purchases to this
goal and by the accumulation of
readily available postwar funds in
savings and loan associations. CO.
operative banks and other home
financing institutions.
The peak of world scarcity of
homes has, in all probability, not
vet been reached. In this country
the growing need for repairs of
existing properties will put more
and more older homes on the scrap
heap AS unfit for human habitation,
unless materials can be made avail
able for repairs and maintenance
In a much greater volume than at
present. From the world point of
view, the bombings yet to come,
with their inevitable inclusion Of
some injuries to dwelling places in
the course of bombing military CD
jectives. will make the shelter prob
lem worse before it is better, it was
claimed.
AS real estate problem, the pro-
vision Of shelter after the war should
employ essentially private financing,
the committee said They point out:
I'VE can at least express the hope
that outside as we'll as inside Amer
lea the bulk of the restoration of
homes will be done with private
funds, with owner-occupancy the
goal insofar as possible. We believe
that the future stability of the world
can be most soundly based on
private ownership which builds up
real sense OF individual respon-
