Banks Stimulating
Building To Make
Homes For Vets

Local home finance institu-
tons are placing their
strength behind the organized
drive by cities and towns in
the metropolitan area to find
homes for veterans families
and to stimulate the construc-
ton Of new houses in line with
the Governments Veterans
Emergency Housing Program.
Mr.. Walter Neaves, president Of
the Federal Home Loan Bank
Of Boston, announced today
He declared that diversion Of
all possible dwelling space to
the use Of ex-servicemen is this
areas most urgent reconver-
sion problem.
"As home finance Organiza-
tons, our associations recog-
nize their grave responsibility
in this field and pledge them
selves to cooperate with other
financial institutions, builders,
property owners, public officials
and every local group concern
ed to see that this areas vst-
Grams returning to their home
town are properly housed as
soon as possible" Mr.. Naayes
said. 1--WE are also asking all Of
our member investors and
borrowers to aid in locating
and providing more housing
units from the city's present
supply,
until new construction gets
under full Roadway, the first
job is to save all vacancies for
ex-serWcemen, including nous
es, apartments and rooms.
Many Of our citizens can Gre
ate housekeeping space to rent
! by rearranging the facilities Of
their present homes
"Or they can have their
properties remodeled, adding
rooms or finishing upper floors
or dividing large older build
ings into additional units
While periodically helping to
pay our debt to the veteran,
they can earn substantial
rental income.
IF property owners cannot
finance such engagements out
Of their own savings, they can
borrow from local financial in
stitudons for the purpose.
Plenty of funds are available
on good terms.
"Under the new construction
priorities, veterans have pref
erence in the purchase or rem
tai of new houses. But the
number that can be built this
year will nowhere near meet
the demand.
whenever an actual or
prospective vacancy occurs, the
owner should list the property
with the local Veterans
Housing Center. The one In
Boston is located at 200 Wash

Saturday night the Toledo U
Rockets return to Toledo to en-
tertain Baldwin Wallace College
of Berea in the University Field
House.
Baldwin Wsllace's record to
date Is II wins and three de-
feats against the top teams of
the state. In an earlier game
the Rockets won by AZ TO 33
margin. In that game the yell
low Jackets star, Jack Oberst,
was held to two foul shots. The
probable starters in Saturdays
game will be; Oberst and Bill
Cain at forwards, John Chavers
at center, and Joe Casper and
Joe Carlo at the guards.
Sylvester (Stretch) Goedde,
x-foot-nine center, is still lead
ing the Rockets in scoring with
an average of l46 points per
game, followed by guard Paul
Seymour with an average OF bet
ter than 10 points per game. The
starting lineup for the Rockets
this week will probably be the
same as have started most OF the
season; Mike Bicanic and Gus
Feistkorn at forwards, Goedde
at center, and Seymour and
John Kartholl at the guards.

cree Joe Lohman stopped the

in his ring career that Speicer

sixth straight for the smooth

is considered one of the best
basketball teams in Toledo.
In another good game on the
schedule, the Toledo Tools nosed
out the DeVilbiss Five in nip

will, in all probability, take seat on the

This statement is made because of the
fact that many good players will be home
from service and, because of their youth and
baseball ability, will make very strong bids
for steady positions in the Detroit lineup.

Mullin also had a very good
batting average of .345 before
going to the Army. Barney
McCoskey, on his .300-plus

place on the championship

garded, at that time, to be
just about as good prospect
as Dick Wakefield.

Who Can Say When?

Many wage increase is appro- priate and economically sound even when prices have to be rais- ed immediately to cover them. Lifting prices to pay better wages is good business, up to point. But what point? Up to the point that John Q. Public gets slow about buying. So Long as volume can stay large, the price is sound. When volume drops off and prices have to be boosted to pay for the blunder, that's unsound.
 There are experts in every busi- ness who can estimate with re- markable accuracy how many of thisor-that will sell for some stip- ulated price. They know long be- fore the first one is made. This year, when steady jobs at good pay are so vital to everybody. prices should be set in advance to get volume sales. Labor, as we'll as industry, should be interested in the right prices. (
