As an Aid to War Workers MEET THURSDAY

If Indianapolis were not an ime portant war industrial center, home-owners would have a more difficult time in obtaining building materials, but the situation is the

reverse here, according to David Berman of the Indiana Roofing and Siding Corp., although there is a shortage of both labor and materials. The government is encouraging repairs and improvement of live ing quarters in this city because it recognizes that more and more facilities will be needed to accommodate the workers who will move here to work in local war plants, Mr. Berman said. For example, Mr. Berman cited the FHA’'s three-year plan for financing - needed improvements which serve the dual purpose of conserving fuel and providing defense housing. As a means of fuel conservation and eliminating future expenses of exterior painting, Mr. Christian, owner of the aboye home, chose to insulate and repair his house with Nu-Brick in-

" sulated siding. The results were

beyond Mr. Christian’s expectations which is illustrated by comparison of above photos. “His savings in coal and other fuel bills will be apparent next winter,” Mr. Berman said. “His decision is in line with suggestions made by government officials urging the public to conserve in every way possible in these wartimes as the rehabilita= tion of existing structures is aiding national defense by saving critical materials required to build new homes which. are needed to prosecute the war.

Meets the Test

“Insulation is measured by the degree of heat (B. T. U) that passes through a material within a given period of time: Independent laboratory tests show that about 45 per cent of heat loss in a home is through the side walls. These same tests, combined with experience, have proved that NuBrick insulated siding meets these qualifications. and is also most economical. It is not only an insulation and fuel saver but serves the double purpose of strengthen-

ening the building and at the:

same time beautifying the structure. “Good insulation is just good sense. In winter an uninsulated home is drafty, expensive to heat, usually has cold bedrooms, cold exterior walls which sap body heat. In summer the uninsulated home is hot, often warmer than the outdoors.

“A well insulated home has more livable space, is easier to heat, has a more uniform temperature and in summer is cool and comfortable. “There is little economy and no comfort in a small saving between insufficient and adequate insula= tion.”

Suggests Roof Repair

For repairing roofs, Mr. Berman suggested Barrett mineral-surfaced asphalt shingles which are not only fire-safe but scientifically made to resist the worst weather. These sturdy and economical shingles outlive the average house, he said, and now is the best time to do such work while the weather is mild. : : Robert Orr, sales manager of Indiana Roofing and Siding Corp., said “Our company realizes that many people want to repair or remodel their home but fear the results will not be up to their. .expectations or. else fear they will be unable to finance the improvement. ; “Our company is equipped to do the work to the complete satisfaction of the customer, to arrange the financing and assure home-owners of a fully satisfactory job.”
