Vucuiioner Returns Purse With

The money was returned by Oscar

Patten found the purse on the car
and had it while Mrs: Nerhood was
turning her house inside out trying

Housing Shortage
|Eased In Maine
Community Endeavor Provides
Homes at Low Cost

MILLINOCKET, ME. - Tidy new
homes rising rapidly here to ease
the housing shortage are monu'
ments to the cooperative spirit in
this little northern Maine paper
manufacturing town.
The people, Greet Northern Paper
company and a bank joined the COM
munity endeavor which is provid-
ing dwellings at a cos: of about $575
per room, compared with approx
mately 81 500 elsewhere.
With many willing hands pitching
in LEI houses complete with Gel
lar, electricity, plumbing and heat
ing-are going up at costs of $4,000
to $4,000. Without the cooperative
action, the cost would be approx
mately double.
The paper concern, principal in
dustry for the $500 inhabitants,
began the enterprise a year ago. 1t
laid out 81 lots. Seven others were
laid out elsewhere by individuals.
The company constructed eve
and built streets.
Low Rentals, Too
On five lots in scattered parts of
the development the company is
building siX-room houses to rent to
employees for S45 a month. These
homes, not Part of the cooperative
plan, cost $4,000.
The other 46 company lots - av-
eraging 100 feet deep with a 60
foot frontage - were sold for an
average of S24O each on an easy
monthly payment basis. The pur-
chasers planned to build their w
dwellings, hiring what labor was
necessary to do work they and their
friends couldn't accomplish.
A dozen men went into the woods
to cut logs for lumber. Others began
casting cement blocks for construc-
ton.
Cut Building Costs
The company helped to trim
building costs. 1t offered special
rates for use of it's horses and
trucks by men who felled their own
logs, and for milling. The COM
pany furnished without charge-eX-
cept for overtime-a bulldozer and
operator to eXcavate and backfill;
a cement mixer and operator and
several sets of form panels and mis-
cellaneous equipment. 1t also pro-
vided service of several carpenters
to instruct the inexperienced.
This helped cut the cost of eel
lars from $500 to $3.50.
Ground for the first house was
broken last April. Eight homes
completed and occupied by
mid-December. Construction has
started on all but six lots.
The typical dwelling has five or
six rooms and a bath. Some are
bungalow-style; others have two
stories. Walls are insulated. Ga
will be built later.
The houses are not monotonously
The individual owners
in design and color is carried
out as practically as possible. Com
pany architects who planned the five

FIELD TESTED
LightleSS New Match

A safety match which reveals
neither flame nor light when struck
has been demonstrated. The match
looks like any other safety match
except the head, which is much
larger than the ordinary one When
struck, the head generates such in
tense heat that it ignites at once
any surface it touches. Wind of gale

KnitWear for Children

Knitwear deserves greater use in

insulating properties provide extra
warmth in winter. Yet cotton knit
wear, because of its porousness, is
comfortable in summer, too.
