Up and
DOUn .
the Street

Sometime we will have time,
we hope, to check more care
fully some of the things we
write and be sure we have
made ourselves clear. Our ed1-
torial on the housing situation
invoked a response which ap-
pears under ITO the Editor"
this week which clarifies the
situation much better than we
did.
One thing we should have
said was this: In every in
stance of which we have read
in which community was able
to solve its housing problem, a
local builder or contractor, or q
group of them, was the guid-
ing spirit and the vital factor.
Anyone familiar with our
policies and politics knows that
we are firm believers in free
enterprise and that we tear
our hair, moan and groan ev-
erytime the government moves
into another sphere of indivi-
dual initiative.
Here is what we had in mind:
Perhaps a concerted commun-
ity effort properly directed
might he productive of more
building materials and more Of
the skilled labor we need so
badly. It takes experienced
builders to make the plans for
such an effort, however.
It seems agreed by all con-
.cerned that Hardin needs more
homes (and more business
buildings, too). We know a good
many people who would repair
and build onto their homes if
labor were only available. (We'd
like some work done ourselves,
but we've been afraid to say
much about it. We have fig
ured we simply don't stand a
chance of getting the time of
our overworked builders).
We feel very strongly that
the housing problem is one
which Is vital to- the entire
community and one which we
should all be willing to help
Win In any way that we can.
Tis an odd experience for us
not to hear of some pretty ter
rifle catches of fish along
about this time Of, year. We
don't quite understand what's
gotten into our local anglers,
Have you fellows stopped catch
ing fish? Well never believe
you've ceased to boast about it.
Anyhow, some former resi-
dents of this community were
really doing all right in the
Pacific ocean. We got a snap
shot of Mr.. and Mrs. J. w.
