Home Builders
Get Assurances
On Materials
Change in Priority
Ratings Indicated
At Meetings Here

The National Association of Home
Builders this week has been giver
assurances by Federal authorities
that private constructors will have
a chance to receive increased ma
terial priorities.
The meeting between Federal
officials and private builders has
developed Misunderstanding in
that shortly priority rates will be
changed to permit private builders
to receive materials necessary to
the war effort
Report Presented.
In presenting a builders report Of
the three-day session at the May
flower Hotel, the association issued
the following statement of what
happened at the meeting:
Administrator John B. Bland
ford, ir.. of the National Housing
Agency spoke at both days of the
meetings and attempted to solve
the specialized problems referred to
him by the builders. His attitude
was optimistic for this years pro-
duction of necessary war housing
and he promised every co-opera-
ton possible to relieve the congeS-
ton, through proper building, in
tragically crowded war industry
cities.
The war housing construction
standards. under consideration for
some weeks, to supersede the ham
pering standards issued october %,
were the topic of first importance
before these meetings. While at
the meetings, Mr.. Biandfords attl-
tude was hopeful the new standards
would be signed and approved
within matter of days.
THE common plant of the build
ers had been that the old standards
restricted room sizes, and in many
cases the use of lumber itself for
sub-f1ooring and other purposes.
This had virtually CONCEALED private
building for permanent postwar
market values. The new standards,
just issued, increase the room size
allowance for 1943 structures, and
define lumber and masonry uses so
that these vital materials are best
allocated for marketable buildings.
without bleeding sources of supply
of the actual war industry itself.
Problem Is Unsolyed.
THE quarrel over single-stack
plumbing in row housing remains
unsolved. When builders of many
years experience announced their
difficulties in financing projects,
with the single stack requirements,
representatives. of lending institu-
tions, and Government officials, sug-
gested the possibility of financing as
income properties rather than in
dividual home owners sales. Pos
sibilities of operating under Sec
ton 6O8 of Title VI, which the
builders believed restricting, were
discussed at some length, as well as
many other paramount subjects.
From the executive sessions
which followed, announcement was
made that Frank w. Cortright,
executive secretary of the associa-
ton in Washington, had been
unanimously elected executive vice
president. He is leaving for a trip,
at the invitation of the Canadian
government, to address meetings of
Canadian builders and compare
housing conditions with the Ameri-
can builders accomplishments in
the face of multiple material short
ages

Ways 10 Cut Down Drafts
Under Doors Suggested

With cold winds of winter caus-
ing some discomfort through drafts
under the doors, several suggestions
may be followed to avoid this an
noyance.
If the threshold has been re-
moved, leaving broad space under
the door, section of heavy felt
may be nailed to the bottom in the
form of loop attached to each
side of the door Allow enough
material to permit the felt to fit
the sill snugiy
Less convenient is to make cam
vas roll about 4 inches in diameter
and the width of the door. This
may be filled with dry sand or other
suitable material and rolled into
place against the crack when
needed

Drive for Funds Is
Planned by District
Scout Committeeman
Rev. Minor Sprague Named As
Chairman To Collect $500
In County

The annual campaign for funds to
carry on the work of scouting in the
Potomac Council, of which Oakland is
part, will be carried on in this area
next week, beginning Monday, it was
announced by S. Townshend Naylor,
director of the Deep Greek district.
Rev. Minor Sprague has been
named chairman of the financial com
mittee conducting the campaign and
he will be assisted locally by f. Ray
Jones and by others in surrounding
communities.
The goal for the Deep Greek dis
trict, comprising Friendsvill6, Oak
land, Crellin, Mt. Lake Park, Deer
Park and Kitzmiller, is $500. The
budget for the entire Potomac Coun-
Gil is something over $4,000. Cumber-
land furnishes about half of this
amount through its Community chest.
In recent years the Deep Creek dis
trict has fallen below it's quota, al
though Rev. Sprague declared it re-
ceived the full benefits of the councils
program of leadership and training.
Those in the local movement are
hoping that this year there will be a
hearty response to the needs of
scouting.
ANYONE familiar with today's prob
lens and those just ahead" he said,
knows that proper training of our
boys is mighty important, and that
the contribution of Scouting is one
phase of such training that must not
be neglected. 1t may be said that there
is no social institution that is doing
so much with so little as is the Boy
Scouts of America. But where the
support is too little it cannot reach
out and serve all the boys who need
the benefits of Scouting. While 1898
boys are being looked after by the
Potomac Council, there are more than
1000 more who should be reached and
will lbe when the communities respond
with adequate support"
Scouts have a slogan, Do a good
turn daily. And it was pointed out
that now is the time for lovers of
boys to do their own good turn, by
donating to the work of making
scouts. Contributions may be mailed
to Roy. Snragun. at Oakland

new SYSTEM OF
SIGNALS SET UP
FOR AIR RAIDS
First OF Two Educational Alerts
Conducted Yesterday To Ac-
quaint People With
Regulations

The first of two Educational
alerts," planned to familiarize civil
ians and civilian defense workers of
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia
with new AFRAID regulations, was
held yesterday, the day they became
effective.
The alert came at HOO with the
air raid signal few minutes later.
The all-clear was given about fifteen
minutes later
The new system caught number
of people unawares, including air raid
wardens who had no time to study
the plan in detail and because there
is similarity between the old and the
new signals. In the main, however,
everything in Oakland went along
smoothly according to L. NJ. Fraley,
defense coordinator for this section,
and other towns in the area including
Kitzmiller, Deer Park, Mt. Lake
Park, Loeb Lynn, CrelIin, the Power
House and Friendsville, were notified
as the signals came through.
The new regulations which are now
in force were introduced in pursuance
of an order from Lieut.. Gen. Hugh A.
Drum, commanding general, Eastern
Defense Command and First Army.
A long steady blast of the siren

signal meaning that enemy planes are
expected. Air raid wardens should go
to their posts. Immediately homes and
business houses should blackout.
Motorists should turn their lights to
low beam, proceed with caution and
try to get a safe place. Pedestrians
may continue to walk but should be-
gin thinking about where they will
go if the raid signal follows.
The red" signal will be signified
by the rising and falling sound of the
air raid siren, which in this COM
munty means the fire siren. The
red" signal indicates that enemy
planes are overhead. All activity
should cease whether it be night or
day, and lights should be kept BACKED
out. If in automobile pull over to the
side and stop, get out and go to near
est air raid shelter. If walking to am
air raid shelter, get off the street.
After the red signal there will be
another blue signal, a two-minute
blast of the fire siren. This doesn't
mean "all clear" 1t means enemy
planes are no longer overhead but
they might return SO keep on the
alert. At the blue signal, however,
those who were in cars may re-entcr
them and proceed to their destination.
Those who were walking prior to red
signal may resume walking.

The County Commissioners an
nounced yesterday at the conclusion
of their regular meeting that they
had already taken up a note of $780,
600, held by Baltimore bank, and
had redeemed county orders held by
Arthur Naylor amounting to S.

amounting to $13,74157, in an effort
to reduce the countys Indebtedness as
quickly as possible.
The note and county orders were
drawing six percent interest, accord
ing to Jonas W. Sines, Commissioner.
The payment of these debts was
made possible due to collection of 1913
taxes thus far amounting to $4,000.
OF this amount the Pennsylvania Elec-
trio Company had paid about ST., 900.
A discount of five percent is allowed
for taxes paid during February. Four
percent will be allowed if paid during
March or April, and three percent if
paid during May and June
Otherwise routine business was con-
