More Priorities Being
Sought in TpsiIanti

An increasing demand for priori-
ty assistance has been noticed in
Ypsilanti by the War Housing Cen.
ter and the War Production Board,
Il was announced today by Mrs.
Alice Pepper OF the National Hous-
ing Agency and manager OF the
Ypsilanti War Housing Center.
To date there have been nearly
200 requests for assistance in Sc
curing priorities for materials
necessary for housing construction,
OF which nine were for commercial
buildings, four for materials as
result Of destruction OF property by
fire. and the remainder for indivi-
dual building
Il Is believed at the War Hous-
ing Center that one OF the reasons
for this increased demand for as
sistance is a result OF War Pro
duction announcement that certain
builders and supply dealers may
now not only use materials they
have on hand but replenish sup
plies which were formerly difficult
TO obtain.
To aid in assisting builders and
contractors in questions pertaining
TO obtaining priorities the War Pro.
duction Board is planning TO send
a man to the Ypsilanti War Hous-
ing Center. With this help the
dealers could either meet once a
week with Mrs. Pepper, "a mana
ger OF the war Housing Center, 10
discuss problems which she in
turn could take to the representa-
tive OF the War Production Board
for solution, or plan weekly or
semi monthly informal meetings
at which priority problems could
be discussed
