RISE In PRICES WILL
DELAY BUILDING

Fifty-five hundred dollars for home
that's what the average American
plans to pay when he builds, according
to survey recently made by "Archi-
tectural Forum" And here's another
point shown by the survey-if the cost
Of that $500 house should go up, even
as much as ,00O-nearly half the
people planning to build say they'll
postpone building, or give their plans
up altogether.
OPA price ceilings on lumber, brick,
shingles, millwork and other items that
go into home building are there to do a
job, to keep costs down, so that these
planners, servicemen and others, will
not be kept from building the home

PRESENTATION
AT MINES SCHOOL
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 81

In recognition of training given
nearly 1000 men of the u S Navy by
Montana School of Mines, between
July, 1913, and October 81, l945, the
Navy will present the Certificate Of
Appreciation to Montana's engineering
school at a formal ceremony in Mu
scum hall at II 20 a m. Friday, Octo-
Der l9.
The presentation will be made by
Lieut.. Irving G. Williams, commanding
officer of the VIZ unit at the Mines
Navy men from the fleet, as we'll as
directly from home and school, took
over Montana School of Mines two
years ago and until September "a Of
this year comprised almost the entire
student body. These men were trained
for commissions in deck, engineering
and aviation phases of the Navy's pro-
gram.
The final activities of the sailors in
Butte included a football game on
Leon / field between the two platoons
ana .Ae final formal Bluejacket ball
in the gymnasium.
While the sailors are Showing Off
for various new stations to continue
til Navy work, the Mines campus
now includes a good representation
of returning servicemen, both Army
and Navy, who have completed their
service and are starting new or con-
tinuing their education, under the G. l.
Bill of Rights. Among the returning
servicemen are a former lieutenant COM
mander in the Navy, an Army air corps
captain and many others, representing
all branches of the service.
For the benefit Of returning service
men, registration will be continued at
Montana School of Mines, permitting
these men to enter the school at any
time, President Francis A. Thomson
said, and added
For the first time in our history
we shall strive to admit returning stu
dents whenever they report, whether the
beginning of a semester Of otherwise"
Returning seryicemen who did not
complete high school when they went
in the service pose a question Of great
Importance to the School of Mines, and
in fairness to these young men we are
considering providing sub freshman
courses. 1t is Believed that returning
serviceman will feel that he is too ma
ture to return to high school and we
hope to give him preparatory work,
in a college environment, among other
veterans, which he missed by serving
his country.
In brief, the &c. I. Bill Of Rights"
gives the honorably discharged service
man a living allowance of $50 a month
for single men and SIS month for
married men, with the government pay
ing all costs of tuition and textbooks
up to a total of $500 year. The time
available in the Montana School OF
Mines to each returning veteran is equal
to his length Of service, plus one year
for the first 90 days in service.
The United States Armed Forces in
stitute is also providing correspondence
work in all subjects not requiring labo-
ratory work, offered by Montana School
of Mines. Details on the correspond
ence courses are being handled by w.
Milton Brown, registrar, and with the
company commanders of the prospec-
tive students interested.
