Housing Authority in Atlanta
Harry Solomon, chairman of the
Authority, told members of the

Friendly Cafeteria.
Request for the proposed dep

pany.
The contemplated step, tn e
speaker continued, is in line with
provisions of the Lanham 1T,
which require that within two years
after such low cost housing units
are no longer needed, they shall be
sold, removed or demolished.
Mr.. Solomon address, preview
of the sixth annual report of the
Housing Authority, was highly in
formative and-appreciated by '':e
club members.
The speaker pointed out that over
a period of % months, the Author
ity had collected 100 per cent of
all rentals and through sound fl
nancing p r t i S, outstanding
bonds on Wilmington housing pro-
|jects had been refunded at saw
ing of $624,O0O in interest charges
covering the life of the bonds.
Mr.. Solomon took occasion to
praise the work of Henry R. Emory
executive director of the authority,
and his staff for their excellent
work during the past year and
pointed out that as a result of their
efforts, the Wilmington Housing
Authority set-up is in excellent con-
dition.
Dwelling briefly on some of t ,
outstanding achievements accom-
plished during the life of the AL
thority, Mr.. Solomon pointed Out
that due to increased financial
status, 113 families who moved
from slum, or semi-slum housing
surroundings to Wilmington

have since purchased their owr
homes and have thus become more
useful citizens of Wilmington.
The speaker also touched on the
health and recreational programs

ment, has been in excess of 5000"
monthly.
In discussing the foreth coming
annual report of the Housing
Authority, Mr.. Solomon called at
tention to the fact that during
World War /, two shipyards op-
Grated in Wilmington but that only
is ships were completed here,
while during World War 2 over
200 were built here at one yard
prior to We Day and that prob.
ably one out of every 20 ships
now aiding in the war effort had
its trial run on the Cape Fear
river.
The influx of thousands Of work
ers to the Wilmington Ship yards
necessitated large amount OF
emergency housing and through
the availability of funds under the
Lanham Act, 5,O37 low-rent hous-
ing units were built here and de-
iivered on lime, the speaker said.
The enormous amount of work
entailed with direction of the Will
mington Housing Authority prof.
ects, the speaker said, require a
staff of 284 people and a payroll
of $384,000 annually, but all ex-
penditures have been amply justi-
fled by the excellent record that
has been maintained by the Hous-
ing Authority staff.
Club visitors yesterday included
Norman James of Hickory who
was making attendance in order
to keep his five-year perfect at
tendance record clear and the AAA
supervisor here.
On suggestion Of Kiwanian Will

Atomic Bomb Making Too
Dull For College Girls

Rather than accept technical

"Just outside Knoxville was the

the atomic bombs were made.

sounded too dull, learned that
