Urge Listing
Of Available

to Aid Troops.
War Workers

AS a partial solution to the
critical housing situation which
confronts Selfridge Field per-
sonnet and war workers, A. d.
Brewer, secretary of the Mount
Clemens Board of Commerce
today appealed for listings of
vacant rental property.
In his appeal, Brewer asked
householders, to notify the
Board of Commerce of all
rooms. apartments or homes
available for rental.
Many Selfridge Field officers
have been unable to find living
quarters for themselves or their
families, Brewer said. Civil
Service employees at the air
base are also experiencing the
same difficulty.
Brewer believes it is not only
patriotic gesture but the duty
of every householder to aid in
the housing of troops and war
workers.
LiStings may be made with
the Board of Commerce, SO
North Walnut street, or called
in by phone, 650l.
The recent influx of military
and civilian personnel has over

ties competent real estate men

Of some sort be taken to inn
press Federal officials with the
necessity for lowering new con-
struction curbs in the area.
Under emergency housing pri-
critics it is believed that long
needed adjuncts TO available
room ing house and private
dwelling space can be procured
rapidly.

Then. without any further
