 William King, advertising man. ager of the Anchorage Shopping Guide, was a guest at the We'd nesday meeting. He reported that the Guide was gaining momen- tum weekly, as an Anchorage ad- vertising medium. It was pre- dicted that the throwaway would go into tWice-a-week publication in another six months.
 MT. King pointed out that this will mean doubling the payroll of the Palmer plant of the Matanus- ka Press, which publishes the Shopping Guide.
 Chamber president Stock an- nounced that the Palmer airport would be formally dedicated dur ing the coming Matanuska Valley fair in early September. He named Ralph Dye as head of the Chambers committee, which will help other Valley organizations plan the dedicatory ceremony.
 It was suggested that letter be directed to the Washington, D. C., office of the U. s. Geolog- ical Survey, asking that the pro- jected transfer of the Palmer of flee to Anchorage be reconsidered.

Fire Association
 Memberships Pay, Hagen Points Out

Members of the Valley Volun- teer Fire Association in past years have found that their member ship fee is we'll worth while, Al Hagen of the Association said this week. AS evidence of that fact, MT. Hagen presented two letters, excerpts from which are reprinted below. Both of them were received from Association members who suffered home fires in the past year.
 ''We would like to express our thanks to the Fire Association for prompt arrival at our fire, and the method with which firemen discharged their duties"
 MT. and Mrs. Ben F. Steele.
 ''I want to thank the entire group of volunteers for it's prompt action in connection with the fire at my farm last week. 1 was very much impressed at the speed with which equipment got here, and was very grateful for its help.
 It is rather a tribute to the reputation of your group that the fire, at the sound of the approach ing engines, gave up without a struggle and was only mass of smouldering smoke when you ar rived. It could have been far diff ferent."
 Sincerely,
 V. Louise Kellogg.
 The annual membership dues of the Valley Volunteer Fire As sociation lapsed on July 1, Mir. Hogan reminded. The 1850 dues are delinquent now, and mem bers should lose no time in re- newing their memberships.

Tough Lot Problem
Solved by Design
For T-Shaped House

Suppose you have a lot with q
southern exposure on the street.
How will you orient your house
so the living side affords you
some privacy and yet still permits
you to take advantage of the
southern exposure?
That problem was dropped in
the lap of Washington architect
Arthur H. Keyes, jr., and his as
sociate, Basil Yurchenko. The So
luton they arrived at is shown
in the pictures on this page and in
a floor plan which appears on
page B-3.
Briefly they came up with a
design for a T-shaped house. The
base of the T is a service wing
placed approximately at right
angles with the street to serve
as a shield for the most-used part
of the living area. The living room,
dining room and outdoor terrace
were given a south and east ex-
posure facing the garden ringed
with trees. The service wing blocks
the view from the street into this
area.
Thus, the two main purposes
were accomplished: Southern ex-
poSure for the living side of the

U.S.. Still Backs Big Housing Volume
Despite Moves Against Easy Credit

clined, however, the number Of
single-family houses climbed to
new time peaks under the spur
of easy credit.
So great was the volume of ap-
plications filed with the Veterans
Administration that a part-t time
embargo was placed on all tele-
phone calls into the Loan Guar
anty Division of VAS regional
Office so the staff could get it's
work done.
In January of this year, builders
started 1000 single family houses.
Each month the number Of houses
put under construction increased
so that in May the number started
for the month totaled $3.50.
Ratio May Be Half.
Although no one knows for GER
tain. it is probable that Govern
ment financing aids extended
through the VA and FILA are re-
sponsible for about half of the
houses being put under construc-
tion in this area, with the others
financed without Government
help.
If this ratio holds true, then
considerably more than half the
houses produced in the area al
ready are being sold with a sub
stantial down payment.
This market. therefore,, might
not be seriously affected by the
new mortgage credit regulations.
The realities of thesworld situa-
ton, however, probably will make
it somewhat less easy for all build
ers to obtain loans in the future
than in the past, and this may
have an affect on the construc-
ton boom over and above the ef-
feet attributable directly to the
new regulations issued at Presi-
dent Truman'S request.
A relatively few builders have
started developments without first
having obtained a Government
firm commitment which would al

low encouragement sales on all
the houses projected.
In such cases, Government
aided financing will not be avail
able to the buyers unless the
stated down payment Is made, the
spokesman said.
May Hit Mass Builder.
One effect of the new regula-
tions will probably be to hamper
the so-called mass-builder more
greatly than the small builder.
Many mass-builders have under
taken large developments on the
basis of easy no-down-payment
sales. The requirement of a down
payment under the new rules will
doubtless make such operations
less numerous as time goes on
owing to the greater difficulty, or
disinclination, on the part of pros
pective buyers, to make a down
payment.
The Towering of the no-down-
payment sale is a relatively new
development, though there have
been a considerable number of
developments in which houses
have been sold under such terms.
This no-down-payment deal is
available in considerably fewer
cases, however, than the sale in
which a down payment is re-

DR.. Archie Lamont, Scottish
geologist and pacifist, interrupted
the New York dramatist to say:

Scottish Poet Hugh MacDiarmid
walked out angrily.
Mr.. Sherwood had told the
member of PEN (poets, essayists
and novelists) that many intellii-
gent persons hold Stain will not
be stupid enough to start another
world war, but "the bitter fact is
that Stain has already displayed
a capacity for abysmal stupidity. >
He accused the Russians of in
credible intransigence. He said
the present world situation is un-
necessary and senseless and de-
clared those responsible for it
are, like Adolf Hitler, headed fol
suicide.
DR.. Lamont spoke up at that
point. He did not join Mr.. Mac
Diarmid in the walkout, but
