Low Cost Homes
Seen After War

Cities and suburbs Of the post
war era will be planned and built
along aerial highways, instead of
being dependent upon earth
bound transportation as in the
past. The suburbanite who dashes
TO catch the train for home at
night will find his future counter
part In the man hurrying to
catch an aerial bus or to take off
for home in his own private
helicopter Cities may be spread
over radius of IS or 100 miles.
These and other predictions by
Bror Dahlberg, president of the
CeloteX Corp. and chairman of the
board of Certain-teed Products
Corp, were contained in a speech
delivered recently before the
American Society of Planning
Officials at IFS annual meeting in
New York City.
Low cost homes within income
reach of nearly all of the Amer
lean people will be a reality after
the war, Dahlberg believes. The
building industry is now on the
threshold of a new frontier-mass
production-and has for the first
time the chronological skill 10
build homes ar prices nearly every
one can afford.

Producers Plan
Postwar Tasks

When the war is finally won
industry must be prepared 10 get
down 10 brass tackS, so 10 speak,
and provide an economy in which
every man and woman in the
nation may continue 10 find
lucrative employment That is
the tenor Of postwar planning
program projected at the recent
twentieth annual meeting of the
Producers Council. the national
association Of manufacturers Of
building materials and equip
ment.
Pointing out that the construc-
ton industry constitutes between
one-third and one-half of the
national economy, keynote speak
ers stated that the millions of
people who look to construction
as the source Of employment and
income expect this industry TO be
the most vital element in the
re-establishment of the nation s
economy" after the war.
Much emphasis was placed on
the fact that the Producers
Council is the major industry
organization 10 integrate its post
war planning program closely
with the Committee for Economic
Development. and that other in
dustries are patterning their pro-
grams after that of the council.

Savings, Loan
Business Up,
League Reports

CHICAGO. June 10 Net re-
ceiptS of new money by savings,
building and loan associations dur
ing the first quarter of this year,
estimated at $l46,414,000 by the
United States Savings and Loan
League, were 80 times as great as
for the like period of 1912, it is
pointed etit by Morton Bodfish.
league executive vice president,
He said that 1872 per cent more
new money came in and 241 per
cent less old money was with
drawn than last year. The first
quarter OF 1912 was the period i'm
mediately following the country's
entrance into the war, he recalled,
and the unusually favorable pic
ture which develops in comparing
this year and last must take that
fact into consideration.
The gross new money invested
In these thrift and home financing
institutions the first quarter Of
19i3. however, was IN the largest
dollar volume for any like period
of their postdepresSlon history,
surprising by some $4,000 900 the
previous record for inflow set in
the first three months Of l94l
Both February and March re-
ceipts represented new highs for
those months and January was
only few PAGES behind the rec
ord first month Of two years ago.

Insulating Board
Has Many Uses

Many useful household devices
for the home can be made by
using insulating board an inexpen-
Slye product available al any lum-
Der yard. 1t is rigid and easily
cut or sawed yet soft enough to
axe thumbtacks easily.
A piece of insulating board hung
10 the wall makes a useful bulletin
board for relaying telephone mess
ages and other inter-family COM
municationS.
An attractive screen for conceal
ing the sewing machine can be
made by Ringing together several
panels Of insulating board. A
screen Of this type is useful for
tacking up garments which have
TO hang before being finished.
A square of insulating board, ap-
.proprlately painted, makes an
ideal dart board for the game
room.

which will look masculine enough

Many young wives who are liv-

Toynton Offers
Hints for SAVING
Realtors Time

Saying that the housing situa-
ton IN Detroit is in constant mo-
ton and that there is both neces-
SHY for the public and opportu-
nifty for the broker in the use of
equipment in an office where both
buyer and seller may come and
discuss their problems, Ralph f..
foyutOHi TeafTOT has suggested to
his associates of the Detroit Real
Estate Board some adaptation
within their own requirements Of
his Photographic and cataloging
system. Toynton himself has pho
tographed and catalogued every
home within four square miles Of
his office and as a result has been
able 10 conserve gasoline, stream
line his organization and save
time
As he explained his setup in the
Real Estate Board offices Satur-
day, Toynton uses camera with
IS nm film and has the pictures
enlarged 10 4 by 8 inches for fill
ing purposes. He then uses
cross file, according 10 street ad-
dress and a lot card filed accord
ING 10 subdivision and number.

The use of photographs" he
says, saves "A great deal Of
time and gasoline for the buyer
who il able 10 sit down and Sc
lect two or three houses from

arranged according to location,

FALLING IN LOVE? CHAPTER VIII

Barbee tried to justify herself to the flushed face girl in her bed room mirror.
 It didn't mean anything. Ken Garter had kissed her and then they'd laughed, and he had driven her home.
 Kissing didn't mean anything to man like Ken Garter. It was just part of an evenings fun.
 Forget it," she told herself as she sank into the soft bed. Forget 1t. It didn't mean anything to him - it doesn't mean anything to you. Just fun . ." She drifted off to sleep.
 And because the evening with Ken had been fun, she hesitated only slightly when he asked her to a dance few days later.
 He was surprisingly good dancer in spite of his slight lame ness. They got along famously from the very first down beat. Like me a little bit?" he asked audaciously as they danced cheek to cheek.
 "Un-huh." Barbee murmured noncommittally.
 Ken's arms frightened around her. T could really go for you, baby. Tn fact. I've been looking for a girl like you ever since l came north"
 Barbee thought she saw trouble ahead. Its awfully warm in here. Let's get something cold to drink"
 But Ken wasn't easily put of Across a table he pursued the subject. You know, I've gone with a lot of girls since I came up here--' Barbee could easily believe that. He was the type who attracted girls without effort. She flushed, remembering how she had let him kiss her on their first date
 She brought her attention back to what he was saying: Maybe I've been unlucky, but most of the girls I've met here so far have
