their interests in housing.

There were other encouraging
signs in the housing picture. One
example is the passage of legisla-
ton outlawing the registration of
racially restrictive covenants in
the state. While laws of this type
are seldom felt Immediately, they
are important in that the public
policy is made clearer in such
questions. This is often an essen
tial prerequisite to sound think
ing as the intent of such laws
takes root in the public mind.
At times when we want to focus
on how far we are going as COM
pared with where we have been,
to fall into the trap of snap judge
ment can be a serious barrier to
further progress. Let us concen-
trate on the job that needs to be
