They say they have materials lined up for the first several hundred homes and ‘assert “we'll get + the rest,-too.” Covered With Tiles The warmed concrete floor slabs in the homes will be covered with asphant tiles in colors. The rooms have been tested in cold weather and found to be warm although the floor seemed cold to the touch Radiant heating does not reguire floor temperatures much over 80 degrees—close to skin temperature of the body. The builders have erected =a “miniature factory” near the home site. Lumber is brought in one end, cut by electric’ saws and moved out : to sheds and set in “jigs” where home parts are nailed together. The jigs set and hold the boards and joists in the right place.

Jack Burns, business agent of building trade . unions here, has said: “We'll go along with any builder . whe has a good program to speed homes for veterans.
