Hungarian
Relief Drive

A campaign to raise funds to
provide emergency relief for
Hungarian refugees in Austria
was launched today by Mrs. r.
I. c. Prout, president of the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs.
Mrs. Prout urges each Fed
Grafton member to observe
Christmas giving by sending
one dollar per member in her
family to CARE, Box 6O72,
Washington, D. C. All gifts
sent will be designated by the
Federation to Hungarian refu-
gee relief in Austria.
The Federation president,
after consultation with the
Ambassador Of Austria, DR..
Karl Gruber, reports: II find
that the demand put upon the
Austrian people is overwhelm-
ing. They are supplying refu-
gees with food, clothing, shell
ter and medical care.
But Austria cannot do it
alone. Others must help. Many
refugees are wounded and there
is not, enough physical space.
Refugees are living in schools
and railway cars. Austria esti-
mates that in six months it
will cost $23 million to provide
minimum care. The main need
is a home for these people"
Members Of the Federation,
Mrs. Prout concludes, ARE the
homemakerS of America. Let
us open our homes and hearts
to this great cause helping the
freedom-loving people Of Hun
gary.
Communities interested in
taking a group of refugees
should first contact one of the
following volunteer agencies in
New York City: Church World
Service, United World Service,
United HAS Service, Lutheran
Refugee Service, National
Catholic Welfare Conference.

Housing Act which predicated
Federal aid to cities on common
sense principles requiring that

situation and take steps for its

This meant that cities could
start to deal, not with relatively

Director, Department Of Rehabilitation,
National Association OF Home Builders
The vast new highway con-
Istruction program authorized by
the last Congress provides Amer
lean cities with a focal point for
Iblueprinting their much-needed
urban renewal plans.
A share of the proposed initial
outlay of $685. billion for new
highways will be channeled into
cities for freeways and other
transportation arteries, without
which the overall program
would lose much of its effective
ness. And the building of these
arterials will, of necessity, result
In the widespread demolition of
housing and commercial struc-
lures.
In Corpus Christi, Tex, plans
for SIS million road system
launched that community on q
comprehensive program of city
renewal when planners realized
that it would cut out much of
the slum housing.
BY treating adjacent areas and
relating the total program of
schools, parks. sewers and new
development to a workable pro-
gram" for urban renewal, Corpus
Christi had demonstrated how a
highway project can become the
nucleus for city improvement
Additional help for this type
of a program is contained in the
recent change in the Housing
Act. Congress authorized the
Federal Housing Administration
under Section 221 to issue mort
gage insurance covering 100 per
cent of loans with a 40-yeaI
amortization period for families
displaced by Government action
such as that involved in the
highway program. slum clear
iance, parks and other public
works. The mortgage limit is
I$9, 900, and $4,000 in so-called
l"high-cost" areas.

important developments come al

dies for slums are ,peing re-ex-
amined in a broader and more
realistic concept: that is, a con-
cept of total community growth
called urban renewal.
America was mainly rural for
300 years. But in jus3 the last
30 years two-thirds of our popu-
lation has become urban and far

Actually the stencil of rotten

that triggered much of our best
thinking in this concept of com

Today, public concern is grow

of urban life-be it schools, traf-
f1c, sewers, roads, police and fire
protection, or any other need
and focus on the metropolitan
area as a unified area where
jobs. homes and city centers

Fortunately. this is no longer

had trouble cleaning trash out
of back alleys few years ago,
they have today learned to at

graduates and drain the very
swamps their great-grandpa-
rents used to deplore.
And in the process, without
too much ado, they automatic
ally cleaned the trash out of the
alley, and it's not likely to re-
appear. The most important
single thing at the bottom OF
this optimism is the growing
initiative of individuals acting
as responsible citizens and bust

communities and the application
of local solutions.

paint the tops. But if your forte
is not hand-painted objects,
there are plenty of ways to give
match boxes individuality.
Unusual match boxes-penny

to keep in your handbag when
you go viSiting-or just to serve
as conversation pieces.

them. The answer, of course, is
that it's as simple as rolling off

Just cut out rectangular pieces
from the paper and glue them
to the top of the match box.
Then shellac over them. You'll
be pleased with the result. The
