.0PA Plans
Calls on Officials
to State Intentions

The Producers Council. ma
tional organization of manu-
facturers of building materials
and equipment, Saturday
called on Economic StabiliZeT
William II. Davis and OPA
Administrators Chester Bowles
10 announce publicly their in
tentions with respect TO fu-
ture controls over private
home building
The council pointed out that
uncertainty over the nature
and extent of forthcoming
governmental regulation is
compelling the construction
industry to hold in abeyance
It's plans for alleviating the
critical housing shortage,
PREPARED TO START
Encouraged by repeated
official assurances that con-
trolls over residential con-
struction and other types Of
building would be removed
or greatly relaxed no later
than V-J Day, thousands OF
builders were prepared 10
start actual construction on
short notice" l.. c. Hart,
president, said.
"But the disclosure Of
plans for rigid control over
prices Of new homes and
over profit margins for
building material dealers
and contractors, and the
threat OF a federal permit
system have demOralized
the home building industry.
REMAIN UNEMPLOYED
Continued delay In re-
sumption OF residential con-
struction means that many
thousands OF construction
workers will remain unem-
Ioyed. thus adding 10 the
unemployment probl e m
which home building had
been counted on to relieve.
THE OPA plan, which is
the FIRST tangible evidence
that wartime controls over
the civilian economy may
be continued and expanded
during peacetime, bears the
signature of responsible
OPA officials and provides
for continued federal con-
troll over residential build
Ing of all kinds"

LIVING ROOM

An outstanding feature of
the Fairfield Is that the design
provides a spacious living
room adjacent TO the kitchen
and dining room unit, which
is set apart from the bed
rooms.
This comfortable, generous
size living room has three ex-
posureS.
A cleverly conceived utility
room, serving also as a
kitchen entry. provides ade-
quate space for both heating
and laundry facilities, as well
as a handy service entrance.
The living room, featuring
a wood burning fireplace eX-
pertly placed for decorative
purposes, faces the front OF
the house, bringing the fam
lily in close touch with the

,0PA Ruling
Greater Shortage
in Rentals Feared

A greater shortage Of rental
housing will be caused in De-
troit by the new OPA ruling
increasing the waiting period
from three TO six months be-
fore a house purchaser may
evict a tenant in order to oc-
cupy the house himself.
APT TO HOLD
So stated Edward +. Lam
brecht president OF the De-
troit Real Estate Board, Sat-
urday.
Landlords whose tenants
vacate TO leave the Detroit
area will be more apt 10
hold their houses vacant
pending sale than they were
when possession could be
had by a purchaser In three
months at the longest" he
said.
MORE REASON
"The three-month waiting
period was put into effect
by OPA 80 as 10 give ten
ants a reasonable period In
which 10 find new living
quarters"
He declared there would
have been more reason to
have had slx-month waiting
period while the war was in
progress than there IS at the
present time with hostilities
over and vacancies beginning
10 occur.

Children Need Action
BY A ngelo Pafri

Children grow in action. They
cannot grow in silence and stiffness.
the child who does not cry and
gurgle and COO will not learn to talk
as he should. If he does not try to
stand up he will not learn to stand
nor to walk. He must act on his own
initiative if he is to learn. That is
the principle upon which the activity
program is based and 1t is right.
When things 60 wrong with such a
program, it is because the admins
tration of it is wrong, not the prin-
ciple.
Children's activity must be guided
Left to themselves they will be de-
structive and wasteful Of time, en-
ergy and materials. The teacher
must guide the choice of activity,
keep an eye on the proceedings,
speak at the right moment, check
any tendency to error, and keep the
children moving toward definite
goal. That does not necessarily mean
teacher domination, that bugbear of
the enthusiastic progressive super
visor.
Teacher domination means that
the teacher selects the lesson, de-
termines each step of it's develop
ment. while the pupils follow orders
and follow orders only.
Teacher leadership which is the
aim of the progressive supervisor
means that the teacher elects the
medium through which the children
work to a definite goal while she

Bring towels in as soon as they are
dry, because too much whipping by

ners and cause them to fray. Beat

The home economists advise

less absorbent, and may even break
the fbers in the yarns. Hand and
dish towels may be ironed fiat and
then simply folded by hand To pre-
vent too much wear at any one
place and keep the towel from split
ting along creases, fold towels some
times in halves and sometimes in
thirds.
To avoid mildew, hang up towels
Immediately after use so that air
can circulate through them. Never
leave a damp towel in heap in
the bathroom floor or put it in a
laundry bag Mildew sometimes
does not show, but even when in
visible will weaken fabric.
Train the men in the family not
to wipe razor blades on good towels
and be especially careful when dry
ing kitchen knives on dish towels. A
cut through even one yarn can start
a hole.

allows them to talk over the ways
and means by which 1t Is to be &C
complished. She must be ready to
point out the error, the proba Bile
failure of one way and applaud the
suggestions that are most likely to
prove successful. She must be ready
always to lead the group toward the
accomplishment they seek.
This course may result in what
looks like wasted time. There are
some people who think that child
is doing something worth while II
he is writing words 10 times each
and wasting time if he is sitting
quietly, no work in sight. Writing
words that way is wasted time with
out doubt. Sitting quietly may be
wasted time. but if the child is in
telligent it is as likely to be crea-
ture stiffness as otherwise. The out
come depends upon the understand
ing leadership of the teacher. She
knows the difference between the idle
child and the silent still worker.
Shelley lay seemingly asleep on the
hillside of Naples and people who
saw him called him the loafer but
when he rose from the hillside he
went home and wrote the poems
that made his name immortal.
The child must be active. His
activity must tend toward growth.
The teacher must be alert to dis
criminate between useless motions
and worthwhile activity-wherein
lies the quality of leadership.

value. Please let me explain! You
ask Doesn't the phone ever ring
or doorbell chime at the moment
you should be washing dishes, or
doesn't the baby ever need atten-
ton off schedule, etc?" Yes, of
course, those things happen-all the
time. But l don't believe any sched-
ule can be followed as religiously
as your impression of Schedule
seems to be. To me, schedule
means knowing what has to be done
and doing it, and that means the
really important things such as ba-
byS bath, making formula, baby's
daily washing, and making the
house at least presentable enough
to be comfortable to live in.
1t means knowing what kind of
behavior to expect of child at GER

myself with no time for reading,
entertaining, or, most important of
all, with no time for playing with

are completely free of household
tasks, which time is spent mostly
with the baby. And we play during
the mornings, while I do my house
work. Baby follows me from one
room to another, and while 1 dust
under beds we play peek boo,"
when I dry dishes she gets a spoon
and dish towel to copy mothers ex-
ample, etc, which keeps both of us
very happy while getting the more
important things done. The only
thing find 1 cannot do with my

because baby insists on playing

board. So do that either while ba-

goes out alone. I do hope I have

Longer Life for Towels

The lucky lady who found a gift
of towels under the Christmas tree
will want to give those towels the
care that will make them last. Here
are suggestions from home econo-
mists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture:
Rotate supplies by putting freshly
laundered towels on the bottom of
the pile so that q few towels will
not get all the wear and laundering
while others lie in storage. Long
storage without laundering may
cause the fabric to deteriorate, be-
cause smoke, dust and moisture in
the air combine to weaken the cot
ton even while the towels are rest
ing on the shelf.
Mend snags or worn places in
towels before they go into the wash
to avoid further tearing. If the
selvage shows wear, check fraying
by taking several rows of stitches
along the edge to strengthen it.
Wash towels before they become
too soiled and require extra rubbing
or bleaching to become white again
If a bleach is used, dilute it accord
ing to directions and be sure to
rinse thoroughly afterward. Strong
beaches weaken fabrics. Drying
outdoors in the sunshine is safe
and effective way to whiten towels
