ARCHITECT REVIEWS
PROBABLE BUILDING
TRENDS AFTER WAR

William H. Reid, Billings archi-
tect, reviewed for the benefit of
Laurel Rotarians at their meeting
Tuesday the existing needs of the
nation for new buildings and the
probable requirements after the a
He also paid some attention to the
talk about revolutionary designs of
the future and the greater use of
gadgets.
1t is the custom of young people
to marry and start new homes, the
speaker mentioned, and that usually
means the use of additional housing
units. In ordinary times the supply
of homes keeps pace with the de-
mand, but in wartime the schedules
are topsyturvy.
In time of war the young people
marry earlier, and when the present
war is over and the service men
come home there is the probability
that a great many new homes will
be needed to supply the needs of the
young married couples. Therefore
the prospects are favorable for an
extended area of building separate
homes and apartments.
Businesses also need new struc-
lures, or at least repair and enlarge
ment of present ones. For some
there has been a damming up
Of normal year-to-year building
throughout the country; the annual
expansion has not been carried on.
AS to magic in connection with
building in the future, the speaker
admitted there would be improved
methods and materials and change
designs, but there will be no
handwriting. Prefabrication will
nave its place to an extent, but its
use is bound to be limited. The
ways that are best and cheapest
will prevail in the future as in the
past. Another factor is that people
their own ideas about how
heir homes should be constructed
md arranged.
In a round-table near the close

Golden Gloves Boxers
OF New York Picked
Over Chicago Team
Nv the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April New York's
boxers were favored to win their
first intercity Golden Gloves team
championship in a Chicago ring as
l6 fighters from the two cities
awaited the 18th annual tournament
in Chicago Stadium tonight.
If the New Workers win, it will be
sweet revenge for the coaches who
last brought team to Chicago in
1943. That year, Chicago pounded
out the most decisive victory of
the series-14 to 2.
However, neutral observers who
have seen both teams in action, in
the finals in both cities and during
workouts, say thereIl be nothing
like that In tonight's bouts. New
York, they believe, is bringing into
the stadium ring the sharpest
punching bunch of battlers it has
had in many years, determined to
start to level off the score of the
series.
Right now, the Fasteners are
trailing Chicago, 10 to 4, in team
titles won. Three times the teams
tied, and New York has won but
one crown in 10 years.
The teams finished their pre-
tourney training yesterday with
light workouts, and no boxing, but
coaches delayed selection Of the
eight fighters who will play Sec
ondary roles in the meet until
