number Of pilots and enlisted men
who had expressed interest in the
program had mounted to over 500.
This number should increase as
pilots and aircrewmen take advan-
tage Of the increased flight time
now permitted, 1t. Cmdr. Engman
added. Previously restricted to two
hours per month, Navy airmen may
fly six hours In March and may be
allotted even more time during sue
ceeding months.
Although response thus far has
been encouraging, more former
Navy pilots and particularly more
former Navy aircrewmen are needed
for reserve carrier air groups being
formed, Engman said. Interested
filters should contact the Officer
in Charge Of Naval Air Reserve
Training, Crosse lie, Michigan. In
quiries for participating in the
full-time Active Reserve should be
sent to the same officer.

expected here August 81 to Septem-
Der 2, at the International Twins
Association Convention for three

All offices are held jointly by

conceived the idea Of a reunion
with his twin sister and several
other sets Of twins In the COM
munity.

Housing Drops
70 Per Cent In
State During War

Michigan's critical housing short
age, already apparent to anyone
who is seeking living quarters, is
emphasized graphically by latest
federal statistics which show that
the volume of home construction
in the state plummeted from 40,5O0
units in 1941 to a mere 10000 in
1914, decrease of 70 per cent.
The tremendous drop in con-
struction explains why the state
has a pent-up demand for new
houses that will keep the building
industry busy for years, said Thorn
as Mcdonald, vice-president Of
Minneapolis Honeywell Regulator
Company, in commenting on the
situation. Mr.. Mcdonald recently
completed study OF the national
housing shortage.
Although the wartime mora
forum on home construction was
not entirely to blame for the pres
ent shortage, it was the most potent
factor" said Mr.. Mcdonald, 1T
brought to a head a condition that
had been growing for years.
United States Labor Department
records show the number of private
and public housing units construc-
ted in Michigan in 1871 was 40,500.
That dropped to $4,000 in 1912;
then increased to $500 in 1913
during which 1890 public housing
units were constructed and dropped
to 1850 In 1914. Official figures for
1945 are not yet available. but the
volume last year was not much
greater than In 1914.
