School Kids Ger Moose Meuf

School children who eat lunch at the school cafeteria will feast on moose meat for the next few weeks. Two carcaSSeS were brought in this week after they were killed on the track by trains, and were given to the school for use in the hot lunch program.
 The animals were skinned out by older school boys who are experienced in such work. It was done in H. Davis's garage near the school. Many a mom and dad would enjoy a good moose steak this year, but it all goes to the kids. Keep those trains rol- ling, they are better hunters than the human type.

Seward Post Office Reaches 1si Glass

In spite of strikes, etc, Sew ard reached the goal as a post office Of the first class this year. The designation is made when the sale of s t a m ps reaches S40.000 or over. This happened here for the first time in 1852. Official designation will not be made until after the fiscal year June 30.
 The class rating of a post of flee effects an automatic increase in salary for it's employees. MT. Clarence Larson, postmaster, comments however, that he would be willing to forego the raise in salary if he could just get a new post office building in Seward. This building, like all others, is rapidly outgrowing its capacity.

SCHOOL TRAFFIC LIGHTS

Some misunderstanding seems to exist concerning the traffic lights surrounding the school block, Police Chief Kirkpatrick states.
 All traffic must come to a complete stop at each light, en- tering and leaving the block. That red light means the same as a red traffic light anywhere that is-STOP."
 These traffic lights in the school block are turned off be- fore and after school hours, but when thy are on, they must be obeyed, the department warns.

course Of its Seventeenth
meeting last week At Kent

The Commission, recognls-
ing the pressing need for in

that the solution Of the problem
can best be reached through
international cooperation. As
an immediate step, the Com
mission agreed that Govern

In the field Of air transport.
the Commission took cogniz.
ance of the fact that many OBJ
stacles and discriminatory
practices exist in the regula-
tions governing civil aviation
within the area. In the view
of the Commission, the remoy
al Of these obstacles and dis
criminatory practices would
stimulate the development Of

was decided that member

Builders Fear
Housing Unit S
Finance
Contend 1t Will
Lead to Tight
Mortgage Market

The end of the week brought
a significant comment from q
builders spokesman:
People who want homes in
the next couple of years should
begin to worry right now over
whether they will get them in
case certain housing policies
recommended to the admin
istration are put into effect by
Congress-"
That statement was signifi-
cant because it reflected the
home builders fighting
attitude towards important
changes proposed in the Ma
tion's housing laws.
AS you may have gathered
from news stories in the last
few days. organized builders
are not very happy over what
they consider to be the key
policy recommendation from
the Presidents Housing Ad-
visory Committee. They indi-
Gated this week they will tight
1t in Congress and before the
people.
The policy recommends ton
they refer to-and the one
they are convinced holds the
power Of life and death over
a volume Of housing sufficient
to meet the country's needs
deals with mortgage finance.
Builders contend that most
of the recommendations to
"liberalize" the housing laws
made by the committee will
have no real effect without
proper financing policies to 60
along with them.
And-say the builders-the
largely private financing poll
cies the Advisory Committee
has in mind won't do the job.
Instead, builders want the
Government to have continued
control over mortgage finance.
Particularly diStaSteful to
builders is the plan supported
in the Advisory Committee by
its dominant mortgage-lender
majority to whittle down the
Governments influence over
housing volume and increase
the influence welded by the
private lending industry.
Likewise unpalatable to the
builders is the proposal to al
low mortgage interest-rate in
creaseS above the present
limits.
Also diSliked-though build
ers are not emphasizing their
attitude on this-is the ADJ
visory Committees strong op-
position to direct lending for
veterans housing.
Builders point out there is
no particular secret about the
mechanics of an adequate
housing program, in contrast
to an inadequate one.
Its an old axiom in the
building business that we can
build any volume of housing
that's needed if the financing
is available. We think the
committees financing propo-
sails will lead to a tight mort
gage money market, higher in
tereSt rates and a decline in
residential construction.
I'VE think we're on safe
ground in believing the Amer
ican people. don't want a stu
alton to develop that would
make it more difficult and
more expensive for a family to
buy or rent a house"
In calling attention to their
opposition to the interest-rate
proposal, and the recommen-
dation favoring establishment
of a privately operated mort
gage buying corporation to re-
Evening star., 1953-12-19

with this kind of set-up,
we are of the opinion that
other beneficial proposals Of
the Advisory Committee will
be cancelled out. It will be

like having a big beautiful car
without any gasoline to run it"
Some observers believe build
ers are too pessimistic over
the proposals to lessen the
