It is not expected that all
dwelling units authorized by these
programs will be produced to
sell or rent at maximum prices. It
is anticipated that the demand
which materializes during the
administration of these pro
grams will establish the price le
vels at which the housing will be
produced.
Creighton pointed out, howev
er, that at least 30 percent of the
priorities granted during any
quarterly period are to be issued
to individuals for homes for their
own um.
“This new housing was author
ized," Creighton said, “after a
study of the housing shortage in
these areas and the hardships
now resulting from lack of ade
quate accommodations. Housing
needs have arisen in these areas
by reason of wartime economic
expansions, new family forma
tions and in-migration of war
workers, veterans and families ol
military personnel. Many families
have been unable to find suita
ble living quarters.”
This new housing is authorized
under H-2 Programs and so occu
pancy restrictions will be impos
ed ; however, builders will be
asked to give preference to re
tui ning veterans and families of
service personnel. Creighton point
ed out that in addition to provid
ing much needed housing for
these areas, these programs are
also expected to facilitate the
transaction of the home building
industry from a period of inac
tivity to one when all govern
ment controls on construction can
be removed. Furthermore, these
programs, by adding to the hous-l
ing supply, are expected to pro
vide a brake to inflationary t'-n-i
dencies in residential real estate
Private builders, investors and'
other persons interested in the
production of new dwelling units,
under these new programs should!
make application for priority
assistance and authority to begin
construction to the Federal Hous
ing Administration, Guilford Buudj
ing, Greensboro, North Carolina.

Director of the Federal Housing

operation would tend to increase
demand throughout the country
for California cotton and would
attract additional mills if the
West Coast textile trend of the
last four years continues. Tfns1
trend is based on the recent rapid
development of a garment indus
try on the West Coast and on in
creased cost of manufacturing
textiles in the East, principally
due to higher wages.

From where I sit... 6if Joe Marsh
g Herb's Got a
Great Little Wife
Everybody’s talking about
what a grand job Ilerb Helm is
doing at the war plant. Not just
one shift, but two a day-to help
build the war materials our men
need.
flood for Herb! Bnt I’d like to
say a word tor Alary, Herb’s
wife. She runs the house, cook9
the meals, takes care of the chil
dren, and works on salvage
drives and bundles for the Red
Cross. Believe me, that’s tiring
work for any woman!
Yet when Herb comes heme—
too tired to talk or watch where
he drops his ashes, maybe—she
makes allowances, keeps smil
ing, brings him a restful glass
of beer, and makes enough con
versation for them both. Next
morning, Herb goes to work re
freshed and cheerful.
From where I sit, women like
Mary Helm are doing a great
war job themselves... being tol
erant and kind to husbands who
are working under a heavy war
time strain. Bully for them!
