BUILDING ORDER
IS EXPLAINED
Indiana FHA Head States Homes Begun Befere April 9 Exempt.
Many persons asking the Indianapolis FHA office for clarification of the recent war production board curtailment of home building have learned they may proceed with their plans, according to R. Earl Peters, Indiana FHA director. “On the other hand, many are learning that there are ‘teeth’ in the WPB order and their construction plans must be abandoned for the duration under their present setup,” Mr. Peters said. “The relationship of the projected plans for homes and other ‘structures to the war effort is the chief governing factor in whether authority to begin construction can be granted,” Mr. Peters explained. “The WPB conservation order put in effect April 9 clearly states that
‘all constrction not essential directly |
or indirectly to the successful prosecution of the war and which involves the utilization of labor, material or construction plant urgently needed in the war effort, must be deferred for the duration of the emergency.’
Defines ‘Defense Housing’
“One encouraging highlight explained to the many hundreds who are bombarding to the Indianapolis FHA office with queries is the fact that any construction which had been started prior to the issuance of the WPB order April 9 is not included in the conservation mandate. Thus, home builders and others who had homes started on that date are exempt. “A further clarification in the provisions is that concerning ‘defense housing.’ Prior to this ‘defense housing’ in the minds of many . could encompass virtually every type of home and for every worker classification, Such is not the case ‘now. WPB’s definition of a ‘defense worker’ is a member of the armed forces or a worker in a plant producing water materials through direct or sub-contract and a federal employee engaged directly in war activity.

Home-owners, beset by many problems because of war shortages, can be assured that the supply of linoleum: floor coverings is plentiful, according to W. C. Patterson, Mr. Patterson, head of the Patterson Shade and Floor Covering Co. at 113 S. Pennsylvania st., -said that due to the foresight of the linoleum manufacturing companies there has been. no curtailment in production. “As a matter of fact,” Mr. Patterson said, “they are now bringing out new marbelized patterns in standard gauge with cloth back. “Actually, this material is made the same as linowall—which has been so popular in building permanent wall coverings in bathrooms, kitchens, breakfast rooms and in other household uses for years.” Mr. Patterson reported that many home-owners are turning to the use of linoleum as a replacement for other floor coverings, which have worn out and

which, because. of the war, are more expensive than formerly. Then, too, because of its wide adaptability, linoleum is being used extensively in the hundreds of homes being built here for defense workers, he added. “Linoleum floor coverings solve the decorating problem easily because we have more than 200 colors and patterns to choose: from. Those wanting custom linoleum floors can have them made in any design they wish. “In addition to its beauty, it is durable and easy to clean. A quick dusting and occasional washing and waxing keep it fresh and attractive for years—at low cost. “Likewise = linowall is with housewives because it is beautiful and because the inside and outside corners can be streamlined for easier cleaning. Simple soap-and-water washing removes smudges and ordinary stains. “It is ideal for any wall area. With waterproofed seams, it can
be used with complete safety around built-in tubs with showers. Linowell is an extremely durable material, too. It resists denting and cracking. With ordinary care, it never needs refinishing because the rich colors do not wear off. It is made in 31 colorings to har-
monize with any interior color scheme. And original designs can be inset inexpensively.” Mr. Patterson said that his company has been awardgd the contract to furnish shades for the Wabash Valley ordnance plant near Terre Haute, including the administration building, engineers building, hospital, telephone building and cafeteria. Preparing for heavy summer demand, Mr. Patterson’s company, which has its manufacturing facilities on the floors above the show rooms, is now concentrating on making Venetian blinds with the baked enamel finish on the wood slats.
