Home Builders
Somewhere between IL and
Is million American families
will move into brand-new homes
this year, and it is the aim of our
industry to make each a per-
manent asset that adds to the
economic and social well-being
Of the entire country.
Housing a Nation of 1874 mil
lion people is job of staggering
size and completely that touches
on practically every phase of
American economic life.
Construction of a million or
more homes annually, which the
home building industry has ac-
compliShed in each of the past
six years, involves far more than
the assembly of a million mounds
of brick, lumber. steel and glass.
1t involves also the assembly of
astronomical sums of money and
credit to finance the builders
construction and the home buy
er's mortgage; land planning on
a continental scale: provision of
schools, churches. shopping CEN
tiers. transportation and all the
manifold community facilities
that new homes require.
1t involves the labor of more
than a million carpenters, elec-
tricians, masons, plumbers and
other skilled building crafts
men, and it involves professional
planning to insure that those
homes are well and economically
designed to meet the needs of a
million buyers.
Above all, construction on this
scale calls for confidence on the
part of builders and home buyers
confidence that America is a
strong and still-growing Nation
which demands an ever-riSing
standard of living with all of the
new homes, automobiles and
comforts that 60 with better
living.
There has been talk in recent
months that we are over-build-
ing; that we are making it too

easy for American families to
become home owners. That talk
appears to emanate largely from
certain segments of the lending

Vote of Confidence
The millions of home seekers
who visit new homes here in
the Washington area and around
the country each week are cast
ing a vote of confidence in their
own futures and the future
growth and prosperity Of Amer
lea.
It should be emphasized that
home builders have a proper
concern for the conduct of their
industry. They are as anxious

az any other segment Of our
economy to guard against over
building and loose credit prac-
tees that might lead US into q
boom-and-bust cycle.
No responsible builder today is
building more homes than he
has reasonable assurance of SELL
ing. Most project builders erect
a few model homes to show the
public their product and then
construct additional homes as
the demand indicates. With this
kind Of self-regulation, l am con-
WINGED that the home building
industry can continue to main
tain a stable flow of housing
construction that will keep pace
with the demands Of our grow
ing population.
The Washington Metropolitan
Area, which extends into the
Maryland and Virginia suburbs
is striking example of what
has been happening in housing
all across the country. This area
ranked seventh in the Nation in
the volume of new-home con-
struction during 1854. and the
activity now in progress indi-
Gates that it will retain or per-

This Curious World
Catching Fish With Poison

TINE little known tribe of Campo
j. Indians in Peru has its own method
Of catching fish. Fishing trips are
usually communal affairs, and the
Indians prepare by making a mixture
,of poisonous barbasco root, which they
throw into the water. This paralyzes
the fishes gills, but does not affect
the flesh. It drives the fish to the
surface of the water, where they
thrash around, gasping.
The Indians then shoot them with
bows and arrows The shooting is done
carefully with light cane arrows to
prevent the fish from being carried
downstream with the current. The
arrows buoy up the fish. which are
usually washed ashore.
An expedition from the Museum of
Natural History. New York. accom-
panied a Campo fishing party while
studying the tribe in the Andes, and
these photos by DR.. Harry Tschopik,
jr., are among the results.

the use Of hook. line OF bolt is possible

shoot them with arrows. otter putting
