Great Era Of
Home Building,
Ownership Seen
Saving, Loan League
President Predicts
Real Estate Boom

A great era of home building
and home owning can be realized
after the war without assistance,
direct or indirect, from the federal
taxpayer who will still be settling
the bill for a $3.50, 600, 900, 900 war.
This is the belief of Ralph IL.
Cake, Portland, president Of the
United States Savings and Loan
League, expressed before the Port
land Real Estate board Saturday.
He said that the job of the real
estate business and of the savings
and loan institutions is to figure
out their part in the great era of
postwar home ownership, in terms
of doing it with our own ingenu-
ity, taking our own risks"
THE other factors will be
there TO achieve this great era,
the postponed spending of the
citizens, and the will of the
building industry itself to get
costs down TO a new Market"
he emphasized.
THE postwar world will be, a
great day for private enterprise
because 10 will require for Its
rebuilding the things which pri-
vate enterprise has always been
best at. In the history OF man.
kind, private enterprise has done
all of the major rebuilding
!. which has ever taken place. Tho
postwar world will need tho
man Of ideas, willing to take
risks with his money, his time
and his talents. It will need to
get things accomplished eff
GENTLY and not have blue prints
lying around on government
officials desks for two, three
and even six months.
more than any other phase
of production home building has
been cited as the great emphasis
of the early postwar period.
Some people plan to get most
of the job done by government
building and public housing. Ac-
tually no great home building
program will get going IL It Is
turned over to the government.
Let's plan to do IL ourselves,
let's keep the real estate busi-
ness I'm the hands of local bust.
ness men, all the way from the
planning of the building to the
financing"

Rejecting an increased purchas-
ing power in the Detroit area, the
down payments being made on
home sales this winter are growing
larger. states Robert w. Manning,
manager of the sales department
of Homer Warren & Co., Detroit
realtor.
I'VE are finding that this
trend toward larger down pay
ments Is extending even to home
sales made in the lowest price
ranges" he said.
THE type OF buyer who tries
to purchase on n shoe string

monthly payment Is rapidly dis

Prices Rising

Real estate bond prices in jan

with an increase of "a per cent
from an average price of $3.50 at

Realty Bond Price Average cover
ing 200 real estate issues shows.
This was the seventh consecutive
month in which real estate bond
prices have advanced. AS a result

strength of the market as whole
it is significant to note that of

113 increased in price during JAM
uary, 70 remained unchanged and
only nine declined.

Pleasing Voice

Charm
BY HELEN FOLLETT

ONE OF the outstanding
charm requirements is pleas
ing voice. We fear that this Is
one subject TO which the seeker
OF charm and beauty does not
give sufficient consideration.
There are voices that are dull
and lifeleSS. there are others
that are much too animated,
given to too frequent emphasis
One must strike A pleasing ff4fe-
die register. If the voice has
resonance, vital timbrc and re-
strained variations il can be
called attractive and registered
as a charm asset.
