Community Aids
Vet Enterprise

AS word got around, the Albuquer-
que community pitched in to help.
A local architect donated his serv-
ices on the first house and pledged
to provide blueprints, floor plans,
ct cetera at special rates for subse-
quent houses.
A concrete block manufacturer
furnished the blocks for one dwell
ing; a landscaping firm offered to do
the landscaping without charge: an
awning company contributed the
awnings.
Other business firms wished
the association well; promised
to sell it materials at reduced
prices. But the contributions
and reduced prices don't apply
to any single house. They are to
be prorated among all houses,
so that each association member
will benefit from the savings.
So far the association has the Sec
ond and third houses almost COM
pleted; the fourth about half-fin-
iShed.
Membership has swelled to IS,
and because the association feels
that new house in Albuquerque
means a vacant house for rent or
sale eventually. the membership
isn't limited to just veterans.
Association operations are flexible.
A person may become member by
buying one share Of stock for $1O0.
(This is credited toward his house. }
He may buy more than one share of
stock if he wishes, although he is not
permitted more than one vote.
Each member buys his own lot
and has the privilege of selecting
the design of his own house. How
ever, the house cannot be any big
ger than 1900 square feet (around
average size), and construction must
meet FILA standards and building
code requirements, Members can
have the coop build for them, or
they may merely purchase the ma
terials through the organization.
All labor is paid for, but members
can reduce the cost of their houses
by working on their own or other
houses under construction. If a
plumber who is working full time on
other jobs spends Saturdays doing
plumbing work on one Of the cooper
ative houses, he will be given credit
at the standard plumbers pay for
the hours he works. Quite a few
members have done this but most
of &hem are men with Office Jobs,
anxious to pitch in and get the
houses built. When they work on
the project, they are assigned as
1aborers and receive credit at la
borers' pay. There are a few un-
accustomed blisters and callouses,
but they enjoy the novelty. and
houses are going up fast.

Drawing for Homes
CLin,dxes Project

OGGUt0ACS 4 IOJCC6
For example, few weeks ago in
Albuquerque, N. NJ, man put his
hand into a hat and pulled out
house. 1t happened on bright SUM-
ny Sunday, when the New Mexico
Housing Cooperative association
held drawing for the first house
completed under its new building
program.
There were So members of the
housing association who had
chance. to move into that first house
the So people who were paid-up
members. They gathered on the
sandy lot where the house stands.
There were more than 200 persons,
counting sweethearts, wives, kids
and friends. attending the drawing.
The lot is on Arvada avenue in
northeast Albuquerque. You can
see the desert from there and the
purple mountains rising in the
distance. The house is a single
story bungalow of Spanish style with
low-pitched roof like so many Of
the homes you see in the Southwest.
It is made of concrete block. COW
cred with white stucco.
The drawing was gala affair.
The people, dressed in their
Sunday best, perched on the
piles of lumber or sat on the
hoods of automobiles to watch
the associations president, Nj.
E. Holly, place the So slips of
paper in his hat. Assistant City
Manager Arthur Station drew
the first name-Duward E Lee.
There were whistles and shouts
Of congratulation. By coincidence,
it happened that Lee had been the
first man to put up his money to buy
stock when the association was or
ganized. Real'poetic justice that he
should get the first house.
The drawing continued. All 81
remaining numbers were drawn.
The name drawn second was to get
the second house completed, to the
third name drawn went the third
house, and so on.
Soon each association member
would have house similar to the
Lee's-a comfortable five-room bum
galow with hardwood floors. steel
easement windows and an attached
garage. Lee said he couldn't pos
sibly have bought the place if it
hadn't been for the coop. It cost
him $6, $50, complete with lot.
The New Mexico Housing Cooper
ative association developed from the
idea of Veteran Paul Robinson, a tall
rawboned engineering graduate of

build houses for themselves might
solve the problem for other veter-
ans. He took this idea to Max Kas-
10, who operates the local veterans
referral center. Robinson also
talked to Virgil Judy, local housing
expediter.
The idea clicked. Interested vet
erans got together; drew up con-
stitution and bylaws; filed papers
of incorporation.

been built up as backlog. With re-
strictions off, opponents say chances
for cheap house-building will go with
the wind. At this writing. the sem
ate has not yet said its say.
Meanwhile, some veterans are
getting houses on their own.

This is the story of an idea that developed into $750,O0o a yearl
 The job of the Disabled Ameri- can Veterans is to help disabled veterans in all kinds of matters Probably it spends more time show ! ing ex-servicers how to file claims flor disability compensation than anything else.
 To do this work the DAV has 400 service officers. You may have read about, or even met, some of them. They go through plenty rugged and comprehensive course of preparation before the DAV sends them out in the field. They learn about U. s. Government, a little about law and a great deal about veterans rights and bene- fits.
 The DAV pays them a nice sal ary, and probably the job they get when they're through their train ing (taken under Public Law l6) will last for the rest of their lives.
 Because paying these guys costs money and lots of it, the top DAV people started searching back in 1941 for a money-raising scheme to finance the program. They realiz- ed there would be a need for many more service officers after the war
 Dues paid by members of the DAV brings in some cash but mo- where near enough to support 400 service officers at starting sal ary of S200 a month.
 So in l941 the top three men in the DAV turned on their brains One of them, Willard Rice, re- membered reading about Chicago outfit which manufactured ''iden- totags" and sent them out, gratis, to automobile owners. The idento- tags were inscribed with the car owners license number on one side. and his name and address on the other The tags were designed to be attached to the car-owner'S key ring.
 AS Rice remembered it, the Chi

The way was opened for the Establishment of the pulp ano paper industry in Alaska wher i President Truman signed House Joint Resolution POS authorizing i the Secretary of Agriculture tc make sales of timber on any va cant, unappropriated, and unpat- ented lands within the exterior boundaries of the Tongass Ma tional Forest.
 Charles G, Burdick of the Re- gional Forest Service office in Juneau issued clarifying state ment on what the legislation means and what plans are being made by the Government for com plying with the new law.
 As question of aboriginal claims exists, the resolution pro- vides that all receipts from the sale of timber will be impounded in special account in the Treas ury until ownership of the land and timber is actually determined
 Burdick, Assistant Regional For ester, stated that the Forest Ser vice expects to sell timher units and see pulp mills established with in the next few years in the vicin- ity of Ketchikan, Petersburg, Ju- neau, Sika, and possibly Wran- gell. Stumpage rates will be fair and equitable to the public and to the operators.
 One Unit Advertised
 One unit, adjacent to Petersburg has been advertised to be sold by oral bids October l, l947, in Wash ington, D. c. Minimum stumpage prices which will be considered in the sale of this timber are sawtimber, s3 per thousand feet; piling up to 95 feet in length, l cent, and piling over 95 feet in length, IF cents per linear foot; pulpwocd, 85 cents per 100 cubic feet.
 All sawtimber will be sealed as such, regardless of it's final dis position; that is, if used for pulp wood it will carry the sawlog stumpage price. Pulpwood will be the otherwise. unusable material down to a top diameter of six inches. A cubic foot of wood Of this class contains approximately 5.5 board feet, and therefore the stumpage rate on pulpwood per thousand feet will be about Sl 50

Effeds of Pulp Legislation
 On Alaska Economy Outlined
 ByUS. Forest Service Official

The dominant consideration in the administration of all timber sales on the National Forests of Alaska are the avoiding of injury to other sources and the perpetual ion of the logging industry. The removal of the present stagnant, mature stands will allow greatly accelerated growth of the new crop. Research has shown that the Tongass National Forest can be operated as sustained yield unit on an 85 year rotation for cutting. This rotation would pro- duce pulp timber between IS and IS inches in diameter at the stump and, on the average sites, from 35,000 to 40,000 board feet per acre or about 1000 cubic feet.
 Salmon Protected
 Adequate plans are being made in cooperation with the Fish and Wildlifc Service to avoid any damage to spawning grounds or the contamination of streams or salt water by the dumping Of mill wastes which might affect seafood adversely Constant stud ies will be made to determine any harmful effect on game, and care will be exercised in designating areas for logging so that the aes- thetic beauty of our outstanding scenery will not be destroyed
 The timher cut on the Tongass Forest can approach one billion feet per year in perpetuity and at an average price of S2.00 per thousand feet would result in stumpage payments of approxi- mately $2,Co00O0. The Territory un6er present laws receives 25 per cent of all timber sale receipts for schools and roads. Thus, with full use of the timber stands, the Territorys share could be $500,- coo per year or Sl,Ooo,o00 per bien nium
 However, until title to tEe lands and timber is determined these funds will not be available for payment to the Territory. It is the desire of the Forest Service that these titles be determined at the earliest possible time in order that stumpage payments may be divided between the properly desig- mated owners. Every effort will be made to secure this early ad- judication

cago concern sent out the tags free and asked the recipient tc send back 25 cents.
 Would there be a possibility of getting together with the Chicago firm, offering the DAV as a cause 1 to solicit the 25 cents and some how working out profit split.
 Rice went to Chicago. He soon discovered that things weren't all roses with the identotag firm. In fact, the firm head told Rice he wasn't at all sure he'd stay in the business. Out of every 10 car owners to whom one of the gad- gets was sent, only 22 returned a fourth of a dollar.
 But Rice and the firm agreed there might he a good chance of making the idea go if it hooked up with the DAY, a distinctly wor- thy outfit.
 A few test areas were guinea pigged, with good results. The idea got rolling and quickly be- came a business. Last year 1t net ted the DAv S750,OO0 and that aint private's pay. The DAV has figured that of all the car-owners who get the identotags-there were P 100000 last year-30 per cent send in their quarter And 10 per cent of the 30 per cent send in an additional contribution too.
 It's a worthy service. Car own CTS who've lost their keys have had them sent back from all parts of the world, from Guadalcanal to the Panama Canal. You see, on one side of the identotag is a miniature license plate with the owners number and on the other side it says if lost please return tc the DAV, Cincinnati, O., pos tage guaranteed.
