the Fathers so loud in his ears as
he walked, that he could not hear
the cries Of his outraged body, of
his worn nerves? Speculate as
we may, he found his way to the
concentration camp, carrying the
Torah with him.
At the camp this Knyshin Jew
found another, the very one who
was so beloved of God and man
that he was leaving to go to the
western continent, where there
was life and hope among men,
and the earth was not dank with
human blood. He entrusted the
Torah to the fortunate one, with
instructions to bring it safely to
New York and give it over into
the hands of his fellow townsmen.

Housing Output Seen
Ringing on Builders
Sales Policies

Important producers OF building
materials and supplies are nat
urally interested in maintaining a
high rate of residential building,
and it is not surprising, therefore,
that the Producers Council is
considering ways and means to
keep production high.
This organization consists of
manufacturers of building ma
terials and equipment.
It's executive secretary in Wash
ington. Charles M. Mortenson. is
sued a statement this week in
which he told builders there
need be no decline in the number
of homes built" this year, but that
the builders will have to "mer-
chandise new housing aggres-
sively."
Challenge to Industry.
His statement was as follows:
There is direct challenge to
the building industry in the fact
that the American public last year
spent $9,500.0 100000 for new auto
mobiles, but spent only $8,000,00O,-
600 for new homes, including
land and utilities" Mr.. Mortensen
said.
Although the number of newly
formed families is taking a down.
ward trend. consumer buying
power remains high and at least
100000 families are living in
homes which are more than so
years old and lack the conven-
fences and comforts found in the
fine homes being built today.
THE merchandising Job which
confronts the building industry Is
TO sell owners and occupants of
old and obsolete homes on the
better living and better values
which modern homes present.
There has been too much ten
dency to offer new homes only
to those families which enter the
market out of necessity. Yet there
are millions of other families
which could be induced to acquire
up-to-date homes if the industry
were to merchandise its new
housing as vigorously as the auto
motive industry. for example,
merchandise its products.
Joint Responsibility.
1T is true that the down pay
ment on a new home usually is
larger than that required in the
purchase of new automobile, but
that part of the public which so
far has been content to live in
obsolete housing easily can be in
duced to assemble the amount
needed to acquire a modern home
If the building industry sets out
to create the desire.
Moreover, for those families
preferring to occupy new rental
housing. the down payment prob
lem simply doesn't exist, and new
rental units can produced at a
higher rate as fast as the demand
increases.
THE task Of stepping up the
demand for an appreciation of
new homes is joint responsibility
of every segment of the building
industry. The drop in home build
ing which has been widely fore
cast for 1850 simply need not
occur if everyone concerned with
building rises to the challenge"
