I lei's Face Facts Country Areas Attract Future Home Builders, Careful Survey Shows By BARROW LYONS —WNU Stcff Correspond*/!f I WASHINGTON, D.

The* Department of the Inte rior also plans extensive reclama tion pivject* in the west, which would tend to build up many of the Western states to support greatly expanded populations. New Designs Wanted One of t;ie points brought out in the survey was a leaning toward homes of low, rambling design, which is in sharp contrast with the old fashioned, cramped, two-story dwelling with dark basement and steep stairs. This unquestionably means that more people will seek country areas where land is cheap, so that they may spread out floor plans as they desire. Every small community should look over its resources now, to make sure it is going to get its share of the new building, and consequent merchandising, that will come to it. It should consider whether it is get ting a fair break in relation to new super-highways that are to be con structed. It should have adequate schools, hospital facilities, amuse ment and shopping centers, police and fire protection, libraries and street lighting systems. It should have equitfible real estate and taxa tion programs, and honest and pro gressive town and county govern ments. • • • There should be plans to take up the employment slack in agri cultural off seasons, and an aggres sive Chamber of Commerce or Com munity council to bring desirable industries to the town. All of these things are important, if the merchants and bankers are to prosper as greatly as the possi bilities of their location warrant. Business analysts studying this trend see for the small town con tractors a large business, and along with him the building supply dealer A the community.
