Lay Out Two Circles
On the bottom Of the plywood

by drawing two crossed lines
each extending diagonally from
corner to corner. Using the
crossing point as a center, scribe
or draw circle 11l2 inches in
diameter with a compass divider
or even with a pencil tethered tc
a string. Then lay out q second

These straight and circular
lines will show you exactly where

smoothly on uneven or soft sur
faces such as a table cloth. Using
larger sized ball gliders and per-
haps heavier base and turntable
materials, you could make a
swivel platform for such things
as the television set or a concert
type loudspeaker cabinet.

will be symmetrically spaced
and track perfectly with each
other while the turntable is
being swung.
Next. bore a slightly under
sized hole for the bolt in the
exact center of the plywood

from the top side.
Fashioned With Care
The ball gliders have three
tab points by which. they are
driven onto furniture legs. AT
each junction Of the crossed
lines with the outer circle, care
fully drive a glider into the
plywood. positioning each the

center between the scribed
circles. Hammer directly on the

REALT Y
REVUE

A new kind Of forum meeting
being sponsored by the National
Housing Center will cast Gov
eminent officials in the role of
seekers for information on the
housing outlook. It is scheduled
to be held at the center here at
1925 L street NV. on January
II and Is.
Aim of this reversal of the
usual procedure is to let Govern
ment people find out what rep
resentative industry spokesman
have in mind for 1856. w. Ham
ilton Crawford. chairman of the
center's Board of Directors, said
this week.
About so builders are expected
to participate in the forum, to
which officials have been invited
from the Housing and Home
Finance Agency, Federal Hous-
ing Administration, Veterans Adj
ministration, Council of Eco
nomic Advisers, Federal Reserve
Board. Treasury Department.
Commerce Department. House
and Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee, House Vet
Grams Affairs Committee and the
Home Loan Bank Board.
Two Washington area builders
are among the group who will
submit themselves to Govern
ment questioners. They are
Harry A. Boswell, jr.. president
of the Home Builders Associa-
ton Of Metropolitan Washing
ton, and Edward r. Carr, former
president Of both the local asso-
citation and the National Asso-
citation Of Home Builders.
The Veterans Administration
announced today the year Of 1855
was the biggest in the 11-year
history Of the CT home loan
program.
In its year-end review. the
agency estimated that $50. 900
World War II and Korean con-
fiict veterans this year received
CT home loans totalling more
than 81 billion. This was So
per cent above the 1854 volume,
the agency said. and 20 per cent
over the previous record year Of
1947.
Despite a tightening of CT
mortgage money during the lat
ter part of 1855, VA estimates
that another $4,000 veterans
will get CT home loans during
1855. The agency was asked to
appraise approximately 1.015.000
existing and proposed homes dur
ing the past year, which is a
gain of 10 per cent over the

WOODLEY GROCERY CLOSES
DOORS AFTER 65 YEARS

A widely known institution found
ed in Elizabeth City 65 years ago
by the late w. j. Woodley went out
of business on August IL, when its
owners sold the stock to a ware
house firm in Charlotte, N. C.
Since Mr.. Woodley's death ten
years ago, the firm had been oper-
ated by his son, W. ]. Woodley Jr.,
who died several months ago.
The heirs of Mr.. Woodley, who
owned the business, decided that
due to transportation costs they
would close up the business, since
larger wholesale houses in Virginia
have the advantage of better
freight rates.
Mrs. Marian Bennett, daughter
of Mr.. Woodley is president of the
firm. For many years it was one
of the largest businesses of its
kind in eastern North Carolina.
Since the death of Mr.. Woodley
Jr. it has been managed by A. p.

has been employed for several
years by the firm.

WORLD FOOD BANK SUGGESTED BY
SENATOR SCOTT OFFERS SOLUTION
TO FARM AND ECONOMIC PROBLEMS

There is no doubt about it, SEN
ator W. Kerr Scott is steadfast in
his belief that world food bank is
needed. He has maintained this
position for quite some time.
Properly organized, and as prop
erly financed in equity for all con-
cerned, such a program for inter-
national food distribution could
not miss being both beneficial and
humanitarian.
1t is matter of common knowl-
edge that the agricultural poten-
tial of the American farmer is suf-
ficient to feed the world. 1t is not
now fully developed, but its devel-
opment is on a scale producing a
surplus in tobacco, grain, cotton
and other farm products, including
dairy farming and by-products
from milk such as butter and
cheese.
In promoting such a program,
keeping at it until finally it sue
ceeds, it should be borne in mind
that one need not lift the horizon
from the United States to discover
hunger and starvation. 1t is here
at home, in every state embraced
by this great union of states. It
may be found very close to home,
perhaps within the block where
one lives, or nearby.
But when one is encouraged to
lift his vision above his home
(widely expansive) environment to
picture foreign lands and their
people, and conditions of poverty
under which some of them live, he
is unconscious of conditions liter
ally under his nose and feels not
a hurt of conscious toward them.
We have always held to a firm
conviction that charity should be-
gin at home, where it is deserving

Already he has found it an in

of it he will undertake to compre-
