Background

W7OTERS across the divided Nation had four Presi-
v Dental tickets to choose from when they went to
the polls Tuesday, November g. 1850 The Republican
candidates were Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Ham
lin The ruptured Democratic Party offered Stephen A.
Douglas and Herschel v. johnson, representing the
Northern faction, although Johnson was Georgian;
and John C. Brecknridge and Joseph Lane stood for
the Democrats of the proslavery Solid South. John
Bell and Edward Everett were the candidates of the
new and shortlived Constitutional Union Party.
The baloting took place against a backdrop of
Southern threats to secede from the Union Lincoln
was elected For Lincoln, the South had concluded,
was tool of Northern abolitionists and slavery was
an economic institution the Cotton States did not
choose to relinqush
So alarmed was Douglas by the mood in Dixie that
he devoted his campaign mostly to trying to halt the
tide of National disunity instead of concentrating on
winning the election Few informed people in any Sec
ton country thought that Lincoln could be beaten
Throughout election day only scanty news came
over the telegraph give Washingonians much of an
idea how the ballots were going The Star contained
only reports of returns and these were as specu
aive they brief But by the next day the results
were clear enough to make the lead item of Page

Building Rise
Will Demand
More Workers

Some 100000 additional
skilled workers in the construc.
ton field will be needed by 1870.
according to Marvin Myers,
chairman of the Labor Commit
tee of the National Association
of Home Builders.
Myers, a Rockford, Ill, home
builder, said the increase in
workers will be necessitated bv
the rise in construction, particu.
lariy in the home building field.
He pointed out that in 1858
there was about 49.1 billion dol
lars worth of construction done
In this country. From 1860 to
1870, the level of construction
activity, including new work,
maintenance and repair, is ex-
pected to jump from 40 to so
percent.
"The estimated growth in con-
struction," Myers said, reflects
upward trends in population
and the number of households.
a continuing shift of population
from the cities to the suburbs,
and a continuing high level of
government expenditures for
highways and other public
works."
Myers noted that in mid-1959,
there were 3.S million building
trades workers in the country.
about 1.3 million of them in
home building.
In discussing the need for q.
100000 additional skilled work.
ers in the field by 1870, Myers
said that 100000 of these will
be required because of the in
crease in construction.
But he said. that in addition
to the new workers for expan.
sion, another 100000 will be re-
quired to replace those who re-
tire or die. The growth of PEN
sion plans is expected to lead
to a somewhat earlier retire
ment on the part of many work
ers.
Another 100000 new workers
in construction win be needed,
he continued, to replace those
who shift to some other lines
of work.
only about 10 percent of the
additional construction work.

Kettler Firm Plans

gruder plantations and is PLAN
ming a community of homes
geared to the historic character
of the area. Appropriately, it
will be designated as the Old
Farm subdivision.
A unique feature Of the prof.
ect is the builders plan to re-
tain and preserve an ancient
barn on the property for use
as farm museum. 1t will be
renovated and stocked with
agricultural implements of a
bygone era and other memen-
toes of the areas rich history,
according to officials of the
firm.
The plans cali for construc-
ton of about 500 homes to sell
from the low $4,000 range up
wards, and include provisions
for a school, park and high
ways. Ground on the project
will be broken Dy December 1,
and 1t is expected that models
will be available between
March l and March IS of next
year.
Market Survey Aids
Developers of Cohasset and
Kenwood Park in Montgomery
County, Kettler Brothers have
found that their homes have
gained ready acceptance large
ly because of their policy of
building them to meet the
needs of occupants on the basis
of information gained through
a novel marketing survey.
TIL builders engaged a ma
tionally-prominent market re-
search organization to interview
occupants of their homes for the
purpose of determining what
changes or added features were
considered desirable. While the
survey showed a majority of
residents to be satisfied with
the basic plans and designs, it
produced some recommended
tons that have made Kettler
homes even more liveable and
attractive than the early models,
according to company officials.
The researching programs
results upheld the contention
of Milton Kettler, one of four
partners in the concern, who as
serted: 'If you want more new
buyers, go back and learn all
you can about your old ones"
Findings Reported
Among findings of the sur
vey, the researchers reported,
were the facts that most occu-
pants of Kettler homes wanted
gracious living, but want to be
casual about it; they want lots
of space in the active living
areas and are not so interested
in large bedrooms and baths,
and they prefer landscaping
that will afford privacy to the
occupants and their guests par
ticipating in outdoor social
gatherings.
In addition, the surveyors
found that prospective buyers
are as much interested in the
character of the neighborhood
in which they are about to live
as in the actual design of the
homes. AS a consequence, Kett-
Ter advertising now places en-
phasis on neighborhoods as well
as models and buying terms.
In the first four months of
the survey, the firm found it so
successful 1t boosted its sales
goal by 35 per cent.

ever because of the changes

had to be graduated with
honors from a three-year
course in dreSSmaking, ma

fashions before she could be
admitted to Berlin's School

Mrs. Peirce completed this
advanced work in fashion

before she came to America

At a gay Berlin party in
