ings have made an even large sec
ton Of our population turn their
thought toward better living. This
means that despite the progress
made the backlog of need is still
IN the millions.
So far this year, more than 2OS, 900
dwelling units have been started
under the insured mortgage plan of
the Federal Housing Administration.
This means that almost one-third
Of all new residential construction
this year is being financed under the
facilities of the National Hous-
ing Act.
There is a strong and growing
realization in the building industry
that housing at lower prices must
be made available. When consid-
Grafton is given to the fact that
the median income of the American
family is $1,000, there is only one
conclusion to draw-a great pro-
portion Of our people need houses
priced at around $4,000 to $4,000.
At the present time, with such a
large number of families needing
rental accommodations, special en-
phasis Is also being placed by FEA
on the production of rental housing.
For the country as a whole rental
units have been comprising about
40 per cent of all the applications
received by the FHA field Offices.
To achieve the utmost results
through the channels of private en-
terprise, 1t is essential that industry
and Government work together.
Last month a series of industry
meetings were held in more than
100 cities throughout the country
for the purpose of effectively CO.
ordinating the efforts of industry
and Government in solving housing
problems.
Commendable progress has al
ready been made on the economy
ilouse for the lower-price market
and there are significant projects
being developed in scattered areas,
which, it is hoped, will be an aid in
developing more lower cost housing.
Facilities Expanded.
The new legislation, passed by the
special session of Congress and
signed by the President on August
10, has expanded the facilities Of the
insured mortgage plans of the Fed
eral Housing Administration and
increased the opportunities for
secure home ownership, especially
in the low and moderate price range.
Briefly, the salient points Of the
Housing Act of 1948 are:
The title I insurance authoriza-
tion for small home and property
improvement loans was increased
by $35, 900 900, which will, 1t is be-
lieved, permit the continuation of
this plan until June 80, 1949-the
expiration date under the act for
this particular program. In addi-

ton, the 5000 limit on small class
3 house loans was raised to $500,
and multi : family modernization
loans were increased to $4,000 for
one structure.
Title II was amended by increas-
ing mortgage limits, particularly in
the lower price rent and sale groups,
including loans up to 95 per cent
of value on low-cost single-family
dwellings and on multi-family prof.
ects maximum Of 80 per cent or
95 per cent of value, under certain
circumstances.
Under Title WI the law provides
for the extension to March 80, 1949,
of section 608, rental housing, with
maximum mortgage of $500 per
unit and for q certif1cation that
there will be no discrimination
against tenants with children.
The amendments expand section
800, which has to do with the in
surance of working capital loans
to finance the cost of manufacture
ing houses and under section 610
provide for the insurance of loans
on dwellings sold by the Govern
ment.
A new section GIL provides for
the insurance of mortgages, includ-
ing construction advances, on prof.
ects of Is or more single-family
dwellings in order to encourage site
fabrication methods.
With the combined effort and ac-
ton of private industry and Gov
eminent, it is possible that 1948
may produce a million new dwelling
units.

'Co-ordinoted Development
Seen as Need for D. G. Area

OF decentralization 10 the new Mer-
chants Parking Corp. At the most
recent count it was estimated that
approximately 100000 people enter
Washington's central retail area to
shop every day, with about $4,000
Of this number accumulated during
the peak hours.
Fringe Parking Lots Set up.
OF this latter group, about 16 per
cent drive their own cars, and need
adequate parking space. Failure to
provide these proper and necessary
facilities eventually may lend fur
ther impetus to the already-serious
movement Of decentralization.
Such q movement Is a source of
great concern to municipal authori-
ties as well as businessmen, since
about Il per cent of the entire real
estate tax bill is paid by the small
central business section which COM
prises IL per cent of the Districts
taxable land.
Recognizing the importance Of
good parking facilities, IS downtown
merchants agreed to underwrite the
leasing of two lots-one at Twenty
fifth and z streets NV. and the
other at the Municipal Center.
Designed for the shopper, bus
service is available every 10 minutes
from the lots to the central shopping
section.
The lot on Constitution avenue
will take care Of the flow Of traffic
from Northeast, Southeast and Ia
koma Park. Northwest, Chevy Chase
and Virginia shoppers will find the
lot at Twenty-fifth and E streets
very convenient.
Each lot has space for $50 cars
Estimating that each car carries IT.
persons, additional parking will be
available for over 1000 shoppers to
enter this area without traffic or
parking difficulties.
On F. street between Eighth and
Fifteenth streets (along the new
bus route) there are only 76 legal
parking spaces limited to one-hour
parking.
1t will only be necessary to remove
a few Of these spaces to allow for
bus stops. Since it is possible to
transfer from the shuttle bus to any
other line, merchants within the en-
tire central business district will
benefit.
Most important in this new ven-
ture is that 1t shows cooperative
desire on the part Of the central
businessmen to work together in
maintaining the vital core Of Wash
lington's economic structure.

President. WeshInsten Beard q Trads
Gaining It's largest population
from the sountry's major wars and
emergencies. the Warrington metro
politan district il not, however, an
area Of transients, but has developed
q thriving private business structure
Of It's own.
Since 1910, the population Of the
Metropolitan Area has grown over
IS per cent, about half Of which Is
concentrated In the District.
The rate Of growth, however, has
been much greater In the surround
ing counties. This IL due to two
simple factors: Smaller original
population and unlimited unoc-
cupied land.
We have here o situation unlike
any other American metropolitan
area. The District is the heart OF
Government and private business
activities. Yet 1t cannot absorb the
influx Of population which 1t at
tracts.
Other cities faced with this prob
lam have annexed surrounding
counties. The District cannot rely
/ on such . solution, because 1t Is con-
fined to nonexpandable boundaries
Axed by law.
This fiow Of people into the subur-
ban area poses an important ques-
tion. Will Washington business fol-
low?
Core Must Remain.
It must be expected-indeed, 1t Is
very desirable-that grocery stores
drugstores and essential trades ot
that type be situated close to the
housewife. It Is also mutually bene-
ncial to the District as well as the
counties that certain kinds Of light
industry adaptable to this area be
attracted to outlying sections.
1t is not desirable, however, that
the very core of the Districts pri.
vate business be decentralized, leav.
ing behind serious losses In urban
land values. There is an equilibrium
point at which the District and the
counties may benefit in equal pro.
portions and the entire area may
work In a co-ordinated fashion tt
develop a sound economic future fol
the entire Metropolitan Area. 1t 1!

HAcKEL's unique camera career began as
result of his mothers death from heart fail
ure. When he learned, years later, how her
life might have been prolonged if the average
family doctor had been trained in the correct
technique of administering heart stimulants.
he resolved to dedicate his life and his lens to
medical progress.
At first, medical experts had him hand
cuffed when they listed the obstacles.
Early experimenters on the same track
had failed. They could not devise compact
enough camera, were unable to produce the
proper lighting effects for perfect close-ups
and did not have magazines which could hold
enough film to shoot a lengthy operation.
Hackel set to work to solve the problems
that had licked his predecessors After an Or
deal by trial and error he perfected light
trim camera which could pack enough film
for a two-hour operation, had ultra-high-
power lenses and improved sighting devices.
Next he devised series of tiny lenses and

larger in size than grain of wheat, which

most easily are fresh and cooked
meats, poultry and fish; meat broth
and gelatin dishes; milk; milk
and-egg dishes like custard; and
cottage or other soft cheeses. In
general, these very perishable
foods keep best If covered.
Knocked meat should be loose
~ covered, or simply taken out of
its wrappings and placed in the
meat compartment which provides
it with enough ventilation for
good keeping.
Housewives are cautioned to
take special care not to crowd
foods when putting them in the
refrigerator. Crowding cuts Of
the circulation of cold air around
them.
Leftover foods stored in the
new humid type refrigerators dc
not need to be covered. Other
wise, everything should be cover
ed. Most Of the older models OF
refrigerators require that food be
covered.
Let cooked food cool to room
temperature before putting It in
the refrigerator in order not to hea,
up the atmosphere and overwork
the motor. AS soon as the food
has cooled, however, get it into
the refrigerator promptly.
On Freezing Apples
Mrs. Ray Marsh tells me that
the yellow transparent apples
freeze very well for pies. She
recommends dropping the apples
into salt water as soon as sliced
to retard the darkening Of the
fruit. Our extension bulletin num-
Der 375 says to precook apple
slices slightly before freezing. Re,
commended time is 11z to 3 min
utes in light syrup or water. APP
pies can be packaged successfully
without sugar.
Don't overlook the possibility of |
on extra uncooked apple
pie in the freezer while you're
preparing them. Use smooth pa
per plates, wrap closely in moisture
1apor-proof paper and slip into box
for protection.
In freezing fruits don't overlook |
the ascorbic acid, citric acid or
combiation Of these two on the
market. These also retard dar-
kening Of the fruit as it thaws
and are worth their cost in the inn
product that results.
