Owning Property
a Necessity
American Way Of Life
Depends on II, Says Nelson

FootlooSe families. resulting
from recurrent wartime moving
about, can tear down our system
of American life built up through
many generations. Herbert L
Nelson. executive vice preSiden
Of the National Association o
Real Estate Boards, said at
recent meeting of the Ontario As
ISOLATION Of Real Estate Boards
Speaking in Toronto, Nelson
said:
II believe that unless a man
has a piece Of ground upon which
he can stand. he has no place
to fend for himself. he has no
basis upon which TO fight for his
rights. I believe that the own
ership OF property is necessarily
and inevitably bound up with
our fundamental institution -
family life.
THE family must have It's
Soots by which II can live and
grow. When we get fOOtloOSe
people who have no property,
that do not own their own
homes, we get people who can
be manipulated, we get people
whose family life gradually dis
integrateS. We can see that in
any of our cities in the United
States. So our task must he
to maintain always the right TO
own land. the right to own
property. as one Of the funda-
mental rights of our kind of
civilization"

Remove Rust Before
You Paint Metal

If paint is applied over rust. the
rust will continue TO eat into the
metal and ultimately the paint
will come off. For this reason,
care should be taken to thor
oughly sandpaper or scrape all
rust spots down to the uncorroded
metal and then apply paint. II
this is done properly, the paint
will protect the metal from
further rlIstinp.

Revive Rdmmed
Earth BuiIdinq,
If Is Reported

A revival Of rammed earth build
ing, the cheapest and most ancient
method Of construction known TO
man, is reported at Cooper Union.
where students of architecture are
experimenting in new fields of
design
Priority-frce materials-a mix
ture Of one part stiff clay, one part
sharp sand and two parts stone
are used exclusively in rammed
earth construction. which also cuts
labor costs since il is done entirely
by hand. The mixture is tamped
into wall molds. layer on layer,
using wooden or iron puddlers. The
molds are also constructed by hand
carpentry, special devices being
needed for corners and apertures.
Is RECOMMENDED
Rammed earth. also called pise
dc terre. produces surface re-
Sembling the ancient adobe dwell
lnGS. and is recommended by
government authorities as a. solu-
tiOn TO priority problems and pro-
hibitive labor costs, although
plumbing. wiring and other service
items remain a difficulty. A struc-
ture which would normally cost
between $1,000 and $4,000, con-
structed of modern materials by
modern methods, can be built for
about $4,000 by pise de terre.
Protection against rodents and
insects is a third advantage of
rammed earth building. Placing
broken glass and insecticides in
the earth mixture prevents the
entry of such pests. it is pointed
out Another necessary precaution
is adequate guarding of walltops
against the effects Of rainfall,
which would tend to soften up the
walls.
Still another benefit is the COM
parative ease with which windows.

can be placed, il is explained.

FROM THE BOTTOM Up

Along with the accelaration Of the
action of our troops on the battle
fronts is the increasing volume Of
postwar ideas which are coming from
our nations leaders. Now is the time
for all Americans to study carefully
the views Of these men and women, for
it may not be too long before we shall
be leaning on them as we make i'm
portant decisions.
Governor Lcvcrett Saltonstall, Of
Massachusetts, in an article in the
Washington News Digest, has this to
say Of the postwar picture:
"The average citizen will look to
the postwar world to provide him with
a job. Jobs are the basis for all home
and family life. They are the symbols
Of the best type Of democracy
"While the retooling from war to
peace is in progress, the citizens will
expect his government to take up the
slack Of unemployment. But the citi-
zen will look to private industry as
the main source of jobs. This means
CQallenSc TO all ulUlNlQualS ana
groups to exercise the same iniativc
and imagination in creating tools and
new machines in times Of peace as we
do in war.
This country has been built from
the bottom up and not from the top
down. Let US keep it so! The individ-
ual citizens wants to feel that he is
the most important consideration in
his governments mind"
With regard to Capitalization Of
power in the Federal Government,
Governor Saltonstall continues:
Local and State government are
close to the people They always have
been and always will be. The very best
kind of government is the old town
meeting where a man could blow off
steam once a year. When peace is de-
clared, Washington must again be-
come the bridge Of our Ship Of State
not all the gun tmrets, engine room
and galley combined. The most eff
fective help which Americans have
known from 1920 to 1913 is help to
help themselves. People inevitably be
