Alternate WAYS
For Conversion

The two ways in which needed
conversion of dwellings for war
housing may be accomplished are
AT the owners own expense,
with the work done by private
contractors. However, the cost
may be financed under the Title
program of the FILA and repaid
in regular monthly installments
extended over period up to seven
years. Loans for this purpose are
made in amounts up to $1,000.
The owner is then free TO rent the
dwelling units TO war workers.
2-The alternate arrangement is
the Homes Use Service program
of the National Housing Agency.
Under this program the property
is leased by the government and
the necessary repairs and altera-
tons made 10 provide additional
dwelling units. After seven years,
or two'yearS after the war. which
ever period is the longer. the prop
erty is then returned to the owner.
To stimulate this type of con-
struction. which involves struc-
tural changes in the building, the
War Production Board has agreed
to grant high priorities. with the
stipulation that the property be
located in a designated war indus
try aree and that the conversion
work be done with a view TO pro-
viding living accommodations for
war workers.

Water Heaters
Fired by Coal
Are in Demand

Coal-fircd water heaters for the
heating OF the domestic hot water
supply are made IN a wide variety
Of sizes suitable for every type Of
house from the smallest low-coSt
house 10 the largest apartment
building
They have always been popular
because they are economical and
simple in operation and easy to
regulate Today because of the
shortage OF other types of fuel in
some sections. Coal-fircd water
heaters are in greater demand
than ever before.
Known as "bucket-a-day" heat
erS. coai-tircd units normally re-
quire attention only once or twice
a day The large combustion
chamber holds enough fuel 10 heat
water for a normal days require
ments for an average family,
Strong rocklng-type CRATES pro-
vide easy shaking.
Made of sturdy cast iron with
heavy walls and extra stays, coal
fired water heaters will give years
Of service. They are guaranteed
for IDS pounds working pressure.
Just as in the case of other heat
tiers, coal-flred units should be
equipped with relief valves which
will afford protection TO the
plumbing system and the water
meter against too high a tempera-
ture or excessive pressure.

Drain Plumbing
In Closed Room

Extra precautions TO prevent
damage to plumbing caused by low
temperatures are advisable this
winter.
Every ounce of metal in plumb
ing systems should be conserved
and every effort should be made
to prolong the useful life of all
pipe and fixtures. While a WPB
order permits plumbing contract
orS TO make necessary repairs and
requirements to keep plumbing IN
good running order, the co-opera-
ton of home owners is needed to
prevent unnecessary requirements
which involve the use of critical
materials.

Repair, Convert
Now Is Advised
By Lumbermdn

1t is the patriotic duty Of every
home owner TO keep their home
in good repair and TO utilize all
space to the best advantage. Don't
wait until a small repair job be-
comes major reconditioning
problem. check your home at once
and if it is in need of repair. do
&C now. This is the advice given
by Lester Rosenthal of the Hoover
Lumber Company, 1880 East
Eight-Mile road.
Converting the attic into
living quarters for war workers
can be accomplished without
working any undue hardships on
the home owner. The supervision
and laying out of the work
should be given a great deal of
thought. The government is Civ
ing the home owner priority as
sistance where needed which
permits the contractor to render
a speedy and complete job"
Rosenthal said
He pointed out that the mate
rails available are limited because
of the war, but in many cases
their research men have provided
them with substitutes which are
equal and in some instances bet
ter than the original.
cit is my opinion that people
should repair and convert their
houses now while materials and
labor are available" he added.
The Hoover Lumber Company
has large sales force headed by
Jack Ross.

Paint on BRIDGES

Covered wooden bridges are fast
disappearing from the American
landscape. Originally, walls and
roofs were used to protect the
bridge timbers from rot and decay,
but in modern bridges. the same
end is achieved by the use of paint.
