H. Burriss of the B. M. & P I. union, Wilmington local No. 11, presented the following to the Star News with a request for its publi cation: “Thousands of additional skilled workers will be brought into the war effort as a result'of the re cent order of the War Production board to the effect that brick and tile are to be used, wherever pos sible, in place of lumber in com pleting the nation’s huge war hous ing program. In addition, many urgently needed housing projects will be completed much sooner than otherwise would have been possible. “The WPB order came as a re sult of the acute lumber shortage which has threatened to delay con struction of housing facilities. Frame construction originally was specified for many of these proj ects in the mistaken belief that brick and tile construction would be too costly to use in temporary structures. However, recent cost comparisons have shown that ma sonry construction costs little if any more than frame in most lo calities. “That the use of brick and tile means both economy and speed is shown by the experience in build ing the Waac’s camp at Fort Des Moines. The 112 buildings in this project were completed well ahead of schedule because ample sup plies of brick and tile were avail able locally and because there was no difficulty in securing the brick layers and masons needed to rush the job to completion. “Moreover, the contractor esti mated that only 3 per cent of the total cost would have been saved by substituting lumber for mason ry on this project, and the date of completion would have been ser iously delayed by the lack of mate rials. “Members of the Bricklayers, Masons, and Plasterers Interna-j tional Union of America are pleg ed to exert their every effort in be half of the war program. They are eager to assume the larger share in the national effort that has been assigned to them by the War Pro duction board. “In spite of the over-all short age of manpower, thousands of members of this union have re r.ianied unemployed because of the failure to insist on masonry con struction, Donald Nelson is to be commended for his foresight in requiring that all available men and materials be utilized in this emergency.” -V St. Helena Raises $700 For Soviet Medical Aid Approximately $700 has been raised for medical aid to Russia by the Subordinate Lodge of Rus sian Brotherhood Organization at St. Helena.
