|Co-ordinated Units

planned. Although thousands OF

war period, were able to acquire
Kitchens equipped with modern gas
appliances, many millions of women

The basic idea back of the pack

possible otherwise. And it will offer
equipment which builders and

BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

This is the tale of an industry
which is as old as the history OF
our country, yet as young as new
penny. 1t is rooted in the Old
World, yet as American as base
ball or pumpkin pie or chocolate
ice cream soda. It is the story OF
an industry which might still be
hidden in the dark corners of hun
dreds Of humble American homes
had 1t not been for the initiative
Of one American woman.
Early in the history Of the Ameri-
can Colonies, there settled In the
higher regions Of the South a simple,
honest folk. What they brought with
them on the trip across the Atlantic
consisted of little more than the
clothing which covered them, a few
utensils, perhaps a treasured me-
mento, even a few gold coins. But
with the woman Of every household
there was sure to come her spin

heritage Of a family art handed
down from mother to daughter.

in antique materials; fabrics for
reupholstering early American fur
niture, fabrics for hangings and
draperies to be used in rooms fur
nished after that period. Decora-
tors contacted Mrs. Ellis to secure
these fabrics. the supply of which
was considerably less than their
incessant requirements. Conse-
quently a good deal of her time
was spent in travelling In regions
off the beaten path; sometimes to
secure only a few yards of ma
terial at a time.
In her search, Mrs. Ellis came
often to the cottages Of the South
ern highlanders. Here she found
that every evening, after the days
work was done, the loom was set
up and the womenfolk sat with
patient busy hands. Their designs
were simple traditional patterns

Home Repair Work
Seen as Major Item
In Postwar Problem

Maintenance and repair are ex-
pectcd to be among the major prob
lens facing home owners after the
war and should be "a factor in cas-
ing the country's transition from
war to peace economy" Commits
sioner Abner H. Ferguson of the
Federal Housing Administration re-
ported today.
Home owners have made only the
most pressing repairs since the at
tack on Pearl Harbor, and even be-
fore, Mr.. Ferguson said. In the
meantime the Nations residential
properties have been deteriorating
until the backlog of home repair
work needing to be done has grown
enormously.
The building industry can turn
to home repair and modernization
work within short period after
war limitations on critical mate
rlals have been lifted. On this
fact, he said, is based the estimate
OF the FILA field Offices that an
proximately $4,000, ,0O0, 900 of such
work will be done in the first 12
months after war limitations are
lifted. Lending institutions have
sufficient funds available, and the
FHA stands ready to insure quail
lfled institutions against loss on
such loans under Title of the Ma
tional Housing Act.
Until wartime limitations on crit
lcal materials can be eased, MI.
Ferguson said, the Title I war pro-
gram of the FILA embraces three
objectives:
l. Loans for conversion to pro-
vide additional living quarters for
war workers, for as much as SIS 600.
2. Loans to finance home mainte-
nance and repair which are essen
tial to health and sanitation, for as
much as $4,000.
s. Loans to finance installations
to conserve fuel, such as insulation,
storm doors and windows, and
weather stripping, for as much as
S2,50O.
These loans are made by private
institutions, which are insured by
the FILA under, Title I against loss
up to 10 per cent of the total
amount of their advances.
Approximately 308,l0O loans
amounting to S96,373, 600 were made
last year by private financial In
stltutions under the Title program
and reported to the FHA for insur-
ance.

Treated Lumber Urged
In Postwar BUILDINGS

Wood preservers believe postwar
architects will translate their war
time experiences with treated lum-
Der into permanent construction for
dwellings.
They recommend that joists and
sleepers, close to the ground and
dampness, be protected against ter
mites and decay. Mudsills and
window sills, among the first parts
of the home to be affected by de-
cay. also call for lumber protected
by special pressure treating
methods.

Builders 10 Confer
On Higher Priorities
For Vital Materials

Joseph E. Merrion, first vice presi.
dent OF the National Association O,
Home Builders, has called five-da,
meeting here of the groups Emerg.
ency Committee, starting Monday. K
confer with Federal officials on pri.
vate construction priorities.
Mr.. Merrion declared 225, 900 pri.
vately constructed war dwelling &C.
commodations are in jeopardy be.
cause of material shortages.
In calling the meeting, Mr.. Mer.
rion said the balance of the wa,
housing job cannot be done unless
builders are given priority parity
with the Army, Navy and Maritime
Commission for certain materials
and equipment.
Many Left Unfinished.
ITEMS of thousands of units ap-
preaching completion are being left
IN an unfinished state because hard
wood flooring. furnaces, hot-water
heaters, bathtubs, refrigerators OF
electric ranges are lacking" Mr.
Merrion said. Estimating that the
construction involved exceeds ST.
100,000,000 and would house more
than 100000 war workers, he con-
tinued:
I'm asking fer higher priority
rating to enable the completion of
the private war housing assignment
we do so in the knowledge that
scores of war plants and shipyards
cannot meet their schedules unless
the balance of the housing is COM
pleted. Materials and equipment
are required to some extent for
more than 225,OO0 privately con-
structed war housing units"
Pointing out that Los Angeles
San Diego, Fort Worth and Dallas
have already had AA-1 priority
rating extended to housing because
Of the critical situation in those
areas, he added the committee is
going to meet with Government off,
cials exercising controls over war
housing materials and equipment
They have the responsibility and
authority to prevent the war hous-
ing program from begging down and
it is unfortunate that the builders
have to repeatedly direct their at
tention to this fact"
Directors Meeting Slated.
Among Government officials sched-
uled to meet with the committee
are National Housing Administrator
John B. Blandford, jr.; Federal
Housing Commissioner Abner H.
Ferguson and officials of the War
Production Board and the Office OF
Price Administration.
Timed to coincide with these
meetings is the annual directors
meeting of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards to be held
at the Statler Hotel January 20
and 81. The directors will be asked
to take formal action on the rec
concentrations of the associations
several committees which have been
formulating postwar plans for the
home building industry. Among re-
ports to be considered are those
from the Postwar, FILA Legislation
and Public Housing Committees.

-HERE Is an old saw
that everybody talks
y about the weather but
nobody does anything about
it. However, 80 year -old
Donald c. Cameron is one
man who refutes the old
saying.
Cameron, newly-appointed
forecaster for Washington,
ID. c., contends that weather
predictions are too stodgy,
and, often as not, not un-
derstood by the average
person.
When a guy picks up his
newspaper TO look at the
forecast, he doesn't want to
know about pressure areas
and air masses - he wants
. know whether IL is going
be hot or cold, sunny or
rainy.
And Cameron proposes to
tell him. His predictions,
for example, will read some
thing like this:
Forecast, Wa shington
and vicinity: Pleasant
week end. Warm, sunny
afternoons: cool in early
mornings. Moonlight
nights"
And he wouldn't mind a
little humor in his weather
reports. Says Cameron:
