building industry must hasten to
eliminate the traditional "hammer-
and-saw" practices Of "cut-fit-and-
try" Certain union practices and
antiquated building codes, too long
held intact by local pressure groups,
must also be changed.
We are frequently asked: "When
can we be sure of being able to get
good quality building materials?"
To this, our best authorities quickly
tell US that most of the hard materi-
ais such as cement, sand, lime,
stone, etc., are plentiful. Brick and
cement block vary with the regional
manpower picture. Good, dry lum-
Der is scarce, and the precise local
situation here should be carefully

dealer in your community.

Make Dishwashing Easier:
Stunt fishy odors on dishes by
washing them in soapy water to
which some vinegar has been
added. Rinse dishes In hot vine
gar water, also.
Hot, soapy water is indicated
for greasy dishes; cold water for
egg, starchy and milky dishes.
Scrape dishes before starting to
wash and have a strainer in the
sink to collect all leftovers. It's
much easier than scooping them
up out of the water.
Stack dishes carefully before
washing. 1t won't seem like you
have SO many, and there's less
chance of their breaking.
China can be allowed to dry by
itself on a dish rack, but glasses,
silver and cutlery should be
wiped Immediately after wash
ing.
Make sure you have plenty of
good absorbent dish towels
handy. Use paper toweling for
hands to save cloth towels.

Home Building Resumed, but It Will Be Year Or More
Before Most People Can Expect Their Dream House
Material Shortages
Delay Construction
On Any Large Scale
By W. WADsWORTH WOOD

Government restrictions on build
ing Of private houses ends October
Is. This comes as heartening news
to the II million families who are
said to be ready and anxious to
build new homes. Now these people
are wondering: Should we sell our
present home Or give up our lease
in the hope of building right away?
What plans can we safely and con-
fidently make right now?
This question raises several other
ones, which may be summarized
thus:
1. What will building COSTS
be, in comparison with those of
prewar years?
2. Will conventional materials
such as lumber, brick, etc., be
of poorer quality than prewar?
3. What are the new and diff
ferent features and materials so
widely discussed for coming
homes? Are those miracles in
terms of revolutionary heating,
streamlined kitchens, and push
button laundries yet available?
Here is the result of serious think
ing, first on the subject of costs.
While the government unofficially
estimates that home building costs
have increased one-third (requiring
one thus to pay $4,000 for a house
that could be built for $4,000 before
the war)-these costs are really apt
to run somewhat higher. It may
take $4,000 to build that former
$4,000 home. This is partly because
labor costs are steadily rising, and
70 per cent Of the total building costs
are directly or indirectly labor
costs!
Residents in some sections of the
country, such as in the South, may
confidently expect lower prices due
to the fact that the less severe eli
mates permit the elimination of
easements, sub-loors, etc. Less ex-
pensive insulation, also less expen-
sive central heating plants, prove
adequate.
Recent wide and authoritative
studies, such as the two-year survey
conducted by Small Homes Guide,
reveal very pointedly why this fact
Is SO important. They show that
47.4 per cent of families now plan
ming to build, expect to spend from
$4,000 to $4,000. Another large per-
centage, 30.7 per cent, plan to build
In the $4,000 to $4,000 class, while
only about 6 per cent are planning
to build in the $4,000 and better
class.
II these families are to get full
value for their money, the home
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1945-10-26

Still other thousands will be ask
ing: "Should I sell the home
own now, rent for several years and
then plan to build?" To such, wise
counsel would be: Hold your home,
as rents will be high and there will
be no sudden drop in real estate
values. First, because of rebuilding
costs due to higher wage levels, and
second, the very stable backlog of
demand that will require several
years to satisfy. Start planning your
new home now. It will likely take
you whole year to get through all
the steps carefully. Selection of your
new lot, title insurance, getting your
ideas into blueprints, working draw
ings and specifications; getting bids,
negotiating the financing-all this
takes time.
Being very specific, others will
ask: "All I can afford to spend is
$4,000. I need three bedrooms. What
can I expect?" Our frank advice is
this: Not too much, if your total
includes the cost of lot. You had
better choose compact story-and-
a-half design, and then plan to fin
ish the two upper-story bedrooms
and bath at later date.

furry OF questions always centers
around: whats new?" For exam
pie: "Will air conditioning be cheap
er than before the WARP" Well, as
suming that you refer to summer
cooling combined with air filtration,
de-humidifying and circulation, the
answer Is Yes. Several mass pro-
duction manufacturers are bringing
out new, efficient units that can be
added later to any forced warm air
heating system. Others ask: xviii
the new kitchen devices cost less or
more than before the war;" OF
course this refers to dishwasher,
garbage-disposal unit, range, refrig-
orator. The latter two will cost
little more but will be more efficient.
Alert makers are planning to bring
costs down by combining units, such
as one which will wash both clothes
and dishes, by changing bowls and
substituting a rubber-covered wire
dish rack for the agitator.
A modern bathroom is a "must"
In nearly everyone's planning. The
important new development In bath
room ideas involves separating the
different fixtures to eliminate early
morning congestion. Most favored
arrangement includes separate
shower stall, an extra lavatory and
medicine cabinet. The new fixture
designs are more beautiful and have
lots Of added conveniences. Kitch-
ems have been brought into focus
with the modern dreams" too.
Many manufacturers are offering
beautiful and complete package
kitchens that include an amazing
number of new items of convenience
and advanced, automatic 1abor-sav-
ing equipment.
The gripes or pet hates" con-
corning houses are going to be large
ly eliminated through better plan
ming. There will be plenty of closet
space, for instance. The trend is
to larger rooms spread out on one
floor; with larger windows and pro-
vision for more outdoor living. Col
ors will be bright and cheerful, and
details of decoration will strike
smart, peacetime motif.
"How about all the promised post
war home gadgets?" you may be
asking. Well, you can look for new
refrigerators with deep-freeze COM
partments; new developments in
automatic dishwashers and washing
machines; ultra-efficient vacuum
cleaners - vastly improved appi-
ances ready early next year.

drudgery?" The answer is, al
most" For example, the precipi-
tron takes dust out of the air cleo
trically. Most kitchen chores, such
as dishwashing, will be reduced to a
minimum by automatic controls.
Heating and cooling will be fully
automatic. New developments in
plastic wall and floor finishes, new
rugs and draperies-should help in
adding at least three hours more
daily freedom to the clock of most
housewives. It is indeed a great,

low the trend towards saving ex-
pensive site labor costs.
While the home building restric-
tons are being lifted, as of October
IS, the announcement carries with
it six-point program that involves
several directives aimed at correct
ing the present situation. These will
seek to hasten production of scarce
building materials; will strengthen
inventory controls to prevent hoard
ing; will expand OPA price control
of building materials to prevent in
flationary pressure; control mort
gage practices; facilitate action by
industry groups and widely advise
on home values. In the directive,
great stress is put upon the rapid
expansion Of the home building in
dustry as the greatest single add
ed source of jobs in our entire econ
omy, and the statement is made
that: 1--WE also know that the present
housing shortage is bound to con-
tinue for some time and that there
may be pressure to increase the
price Of new homes In response to
an active demand"
In the light Of these facts, thou
sands will be asking such questions
as this: "Should renew my pres
ent lease which expires in six
months, or try to build new home
right away" Wise advice would ap-
pear to be this: Renew for one year.
A year and a half is not too much
time for thoughtful planning and
careful working out of your family's
experimentation site selection to
the details of built-in storage facil-
tiles. There are countless houses
that could have been good houses if
few extra months had been used
