Work After Hours
To Erect Cottage
Folks Call It the House That
Friendship Built.

GAINESVILLE, OHIO.-On the
edge of this little Ohio city is a
small, neat cottage, ,alqed higher
than the Empire Sta e building and
Radio City, combined.
Technically, it's W nth about $500.
Actually you COULDN'T buy it with a
kings ransom.
For to gainesville folks-and own
er Franklin Waite-this is the House
That Friendship Built.
Waite was a big, likable, popular
guard at a construction company
here. For months, he saved and
scraped to buy materials with which
to build new cottage. He was
going to construct it himself in his
spare time.
Just as he was about to start. the
army drafted him, and the Waite
family resigned itself to disappoint-
ment
Fellow workmen at the construc-
ton plant learned of Waite's trou-
bles and the whispering and plan
ming began.
For week about a dozen painters
and so carpenters didn't stop work
at quitting time; they grabbed their
tools and brushes and went to the
leafy grove on the edge of town
where Waite had planned to build
his cottage.
For week the grove rang with
the sound of hammers and saws,
with the rough, comradely talk of
men whose sentiment is expressed
in deeds, not words.
To work after dusk. they strung
makeshift light line from near
by residence. Both the painters
and the carpenters Unions contrib
uted beer and sandwiches to make
up for the meals the men missed
at home.
After the cottage was built, the
painters coated it with white paint.
When Franklin Waite finally saw it,
he almost broke down and cried.
I've never known anybody like
these guys" he muttered.
So Franklin Waite is now in the
army, knowing that back in Paines-
vile, his wife and daughter are
sheltered in comfortable, white
house-in the House That Friend
ship Built.

Because offs differences in milling
processes, different soya fours will
react differently when combined with
liquids. Some will take up more
liquid than others, and if woman is
using them in her own recipes, she
will have to experiment at first to
see how much the liquid measure

Rental, Sales Ceilings
'Curbed on New Work

The War Production Board and
the National Housing Agency, seek
ing to speed the start Of construc-
ton, this week jointly announced
the elimination of rental and sales
ceilings on new construction author
izations issued between now and
October IS, the date on which con-
struction controls will be lifted.
The WPB earlier announced rev.
ocation of control order L-4l, effec-
tive in mid October.
Many builders were said to have
held up applications awaiting the
actual lifting of L-4l controls, it
was said.
Since lifting of L-4l means that
sales and rental ceilings will not be
set on new housing after October
Is, this weeks change merely moved
up the cancellation of such ceilings
by about two weeks.
The Federal Housing Administra-
ton will begin approving housing
applications as of October l without
regard to previous limitations on
sales and rental ceilings, it was an
nounced. After mid-October no
authorizations will be needed to
start new housing.
This weeks action did not, how
ever, change the authorized sales
prices or rentals on housing already
completed or under construction
which previously was authorized by
MIA, nor does it change NHA's au-
thority to amend sales, prices and
rentals established in authorizations
previously issued, it was said.
