For Home Building

The Home Building and Home
Owning Committee Of the United
States Savings and Loan League this
week felt there was bright OUT
look for home building and employ
ment after the war.
At the meeting in Chicago 1t was
urged that further planning be made
for credit, builders and supply Of
materials so the various local de-
mands for better homes could be
met. The committee issued the fol-
lowing statement In connection with
the meeting:
Answering the question, what
does 1t take to build a million houses
IN America q year?" the committee
took up four basic requisites, %
sufncient effective demand-t1at Is,
million families each year who
want new places to live and have
steady enough Jobs to afford them;
CD enough credit annually to supply
mortgage loans to the million buyers
or builders on a small down pay

experienced contractors recognizing
good business opportunities In start

victory is won, and ~ quick re-
turn to the dealers yards and

Attractive home furnishings set
the stage for pleasant living. Though
many Of the things we would like to
own are not available at the pres
ent time, 1t is still possible to have
a choice Of several good pieces.
Late summer furniture sales bring
many useful chair or table to our
notice. II your selection is an ex-
preston of your own taste, you will
have a feeling OF satisfaction every
time you enter your home, and your
friends will share your enjoyment.
However, furnishings and sur
roundings expressive Of just the
right note of restfulness, gay infor-
mality or elegant simplicity are not
often assembled by happy accident.
Even enthusiasm alone is not
enough. For most home decorators
1t takes poring over plans. trying
color schemes, finding ingenious
ways to make the best OF what we
have. But there is keen pleasure IN
striving for the perfect result and
great satisfaction in achieving it.
Whether your special problem in
wolves completely furnishing a whole
house, or moving, or only refurnish-
ing one room at house-cleaning time,
you are probably wondering how to
stretch your dollars to cover the cost
Of the undertaking.
1t Is a good idea to make a COM
plete plan at the very beginning
Then you may spread the cost over
period Of two or three years by
making few purchases each year.
This not only helps to bring the cost
within your budget but allows the
time for taste and Judgment to de-
velop and mature. 50 that the final
result will bring increased sattsfac-
ton.
Next make this complete, detailed
plan on paper. Try to visualize the
rooms completely furnished-colors
OF walls, floors, draperies-even the
lamps. books and pictures. List the
necessities which must be bought
frst. But don't overlook the little
things which 60 to complete q room
and in the end mount up to almost
the same money outlay as important
furniture. z&4 =
( Plan always to get the best pos
sible quality for your money rather
than the largest quantity. It is a
false economy to buy shoddily made
furnishings which will have to be re-
placed too soon.
For the small comforts that 1t is
possible to live without and which
annoy you each hour by their alb
sence, compromise by spending a
little money and convince yourself
that they are definitely intended for
temn0rarv lice

The Home Clinic

Then you may add color and in
terest by the small touches you are
able to put together yourself. mex
penstve fabrics may be dyed delight
full colors at home. Cast-of bits OF
furniture may be combined with new
things and painted to add a whin-
sical II not an authentic touch. A
few fine bits of bric-a-brac. cleverly
placed, will add a note of elegance
In time your house takes on the
shape Of the dreams you had for II
originally.
Growing plants or garden flower
arrangements give the effect of a
more nvable room and often will
take the place of furniture. A home
also is given the appearance of being
lovingly tended and arranged when
colorful blooms and interesting fou-
age are judiciously selected.
Other expedients will occur to VOL
as you 90 along, making your home
grow and come alive as you progress
In this way you will be able to get
along comfortably until such time as
you can buy furnishings which will
be a permanent investment.

Realtors Take Parf-Time
Defense Plant Jobs

In answer to the Governments
call for manpower contributions to
the war effort, realtors in various
parts of the country are relieving
labor shortages in defense indus
tries by taking on an eight-hcur
night shift, according to reports
reaching the National Association
Of Real Estate Boards. This activ-
ity Is in addition to their regular
real estate business carried on dur
ing the day..
In st. Louis, where defense plants
are experiencing lack Of manpower,
split shifts Of four hours a day are
being set up in order to attract
business and professional men.
These particular shifts operate from
to 8 pm. or 8 to IL pm. Men ac-
cepting this shift have been assured
that they will not be frozen on the
Job.

Decentralization Job
Concluded by Schwab

James e. Schwab, real estate deal
er and builder. has moved his offices
from the Southern Building to 5522
Connecticut avenue NV. to re-enter
the brokerage field. His work with
the ONCE Of Decentralization Public
Buildings Administration, has been
concluded.
For II months he served as an
assistant manager Of the Office in
handling the Presidents program to
relieve the shortage of Office and
housing space in Washington. Dur
ing his Federal service IS units were
moved to 81 cities in 81 States.
This program involved more than
10000 personnel and provided ap-
proximately Also, 900 ssquare feet of
floor space for workers in other sec
tions Of the country.
Mr.. Schwab expressed apprecia-
ton of the help he received from
real estate men.
THE Washington, Alexandria
Arlington and Montgomery-Prince
Georges County Real Estate Boards
did outstanding work. Licensed real
estate brokers not members of the
boards and the landlords rarely
failed to give 100 per cent co-opera-
tion. This despite the fact that the
decentralization program was not
popular with them. as it was not
with me at first. Realization that
If enough housing and Office space
were created in Washington to take
care of all the needs of the Gov
ernment it would result tn a large
surplus after the war and depress
the market both for rentals and
sales soon had me selling the idea
to landlords and brokers that we
would be thankful after the war that
decentralization was effected.
I'VE will have less total housing
units, and the returning employees
will help take up slack resulting
from the deflation OF wartime bu-
reaus. BY cooperating, brokers and
landlords have created good will that
should prove Of value to them when
decentralised employees return to
Washington" he added.

Ely Included on Proposed Air Route

Ely will be included on a
proposed Helicopter network
to serve nearly so Minnesota
cities, according to informa-
ton filed with the state civil
aeronautics board.
The network would be operated by
Greyhound Bus Lines, and the an
n0uncement underlines the impor-
tance of preparing now to construct
adequate airport facilities here inn
mediately following the war.
A major line is proposed TO serve the
resort region of the Minnesota Arrow
head country.
The route would include Duluth, Ely,
Virginia, and Hibbing, according TO
general plans given the Associated
Press by c. E. wickham, Minneapolis,
Greyhound Lines president. The Hell
icopter network would not compete
substantially with existing airlines but
would supplement their facilities, he
said.
Ten major lines would run out of
Minneapolis to all sections Of the
state, two others would provide east
west service, and a third would be set
up in the northern resort area.
