LONDON, J"nc a.-CF,.-The
dramatic search for Britain's
missing diplomats now focus on

In a new development, every

said.
Under rough conditions, the
best in people comes out. Say your
car is stuck in the mud, or you
need shovel or a wheelbarrow-
there's always somebody willing
to loan you what you need. And

fellow needs, you do the same"

Moving into a new development
means pioneering in more ways
than one.
These days, houses are occupied
by buyers and renters as fast as
they are completed and without
waiting for grass to grow on lawns
or mud to disappear.
Standard equipment in new
development, as a result, are
galoShes and rubbers for every
member of the family, plus plenty
of brooms and mops to clean up
the mud and dust inside the house.
But you don't hear much pro-
test from the occupants.
Its a little tough. but it's
worth it to have a home of your
own" is a usual comment. -.
