NEW HOUSING HOPES RAISED The sweeping actions now under way to increase the flow of critical materials into the Veterans Emergency Housing Program announced last week and in effect as of Sept. 1 are expected to give substantial encouragement to thousands of prospective builders throughout the country. The actions, were directed mainly on these fronts: 1. To "set'aside" for builders of houses and apartments for veterans a larger share of critical materials the lack of which has been the chief bottleneck of the program. 2. To assure that the materials set aside are held for housing as long as they are needed for, that purpose. . 3. To cut down the volume of future authorizations for jion-residential construction. . .f Housing Expediter Wilson W, Wyatt, in summarizing the actions, said that much of the success of the new actions WQuld depend upon builders' determination" to use priorities to. the fullest. With the doubling of materials on the, priority list, and with strong compliance measures assured, hopes for completing houses and new projects are beginning to look up.

OF, BY AND FOR

THE "FOURS"

Cliff Townsend, Democratic candidate for United States Senator, in his customary direct manner, has summed up the issues in the 1946 campaign in an article appearing in the current issue of

the Democratic Digest. Asked by the publication what he believes is at stake in 1946, the former Governor and Lieutenant Governor answered: "A government of, by and for the folks." j , ' He elaborated on his answe..bK , pointing out accomplishments of past and pledges of future Democratic administrations in the state and nation, taking, step by step, the legislation that invariably has been of benefit to the "folks." "In 1932, and at each election since, the people overwhelmingly endorsed a government for the

folks versus a government of special privilege," he wrote. Continuing, he said, "The Pres

ident and the Democratic Con- ; gress could have lived comfort- I ably without the guarantee of

tbank deposits, but they knew

that the folks needed it and Wanted it, so the legislation was : enacted." "The Democratic party knew," he said, "that the farmers, as well as all other folks, needed and wanted an economic program for agriculture that would assure a plentiful supply of food at a price that would be fair to the consumer, not just to the farmer, and would sustain the buying power of six million farm families who, except in time of war, purchase about fifty per cent of all the manufactured goods made and sold in the United States. "The Democratic party knew that the folks needed and wanted a squara deal for the men and women who toil in the town and city factories, so our party enacted legislation that put fjpors under wages and made collective bargaining a reality. "The Democratic party believed that the folks, both ii the city and in the country, desired, and the general welfare demanded, that better and easier methods of financing homes should be made possible. Therefore, the Democratic party, through Farm Credit Institutions and the Home Owners Loan Administration, is making it possible for the millions of our people to. say for the first time, 'This is my own, my native home." He pointed out the accomplishments of "the folks" of America during the recent war in meeting combat production demands, addig that "it was the folks, principally, who bought the War Bonds that financed all this." "I have cited only a few of the many successful efforts that have been made an administration interested in the folks or one interested only in special privilege for the few. "The folks need to look no further than Senator Taft Wherry, et al, to see the philoso

phy and visualize the legislation ,

ihat would be enacted should the Republicans get control of the Congress in the coming November' election. "The Democratic party believes that business should do well, so that it can give jobs and render public service, but the Democratic party wants it not only to

do well now, but to be doing ;

well ten, fifteen and twenty years from now. "Business did well after World War- I. but the Coolidge, Hard

ing and Hoover group neglected the folks. They failed to understand the economic fact that jii'iness, agriculture and ti'ans-. portation cannot prosper . long , unless the folks are able to buy. . "So, we have at stake in the 1946 election, the great homa front economic question Shall we continue a Democratic administration with an equitably balanced and prosperous economy, or shall we have another boom and bust?"

' The teacher praised Virginia highly ... V " VIRGINIA soon was transferred to Ward Two which was in the charge of Mrs. Fledderson, a small grayhaired nurse. Mrs. Fledderson shook hands with her. "I'm real glad to have you with us, Mrs. Cunningham," she said. "Dr. Kik has told me about you." V The ladies of Two were very friendly and more relaxed than in One. Each morning there was a great to-do about mopping floors and making beds, but it was rather fun. "Kids," the head nurse might say some morning, "I wish you'd give it the old business today. One of the big shots coming through and I don't want to lose my job.". And that morning the kids would go to town and next day Mrs. Fledderson would bring a box of cookies.

. Robert said Dr. Kik had explained the change to him.

"Look whal's been her-' sue lold Rooert."

Robert said' that "staff" was':a -group of doctors you talked to before going home. . v , ,' Once Virginia went with 'a group of ladies to OV.1 :y: That was O.T., Occupational Therapy. The tuacher gave Virginia a towel with a pattern for cross-stitch. She did every bit as well as when she was seven and the teacher praised her highly. -, : ' ' " And the next time Robert.came he knew about that towel. "Mrs. Fledderson says T can. take you to the stove for a soda," he said, after. he had-stopped talking about the famous towel. They brought out her green coat and hat. She thrust her hand into .the. pockets "and found gloves and a crumpled handkerchief. ''Look what's been in here all the time," she said. It. was like; getting into the pockets of a dead woman. The faint perfume of the, handkerchief was

"You're my honor students' said Mrs. Fledderson.

like the scent from withered burial wreaths.

"Mavbe I oucht to bring your muff next time," Robert'. T

said'. Virginia told him it was too nice for there but that he ' , might bring it the day she was to leave. "A signal," she said.. . . - ' ' f " As the following days ran faster, Virginia moved in a J thickening fog and Staff came closer. r Mrs. Fledderson rounded up the candidates and gave) them a cheery send-off. She acted as if they were going to' J a party. She laid it on too thick and the ladies giggled nerv-i ' ously. , ' I

"You're my honor students," said Mrs. Fledderson. "Go !J and pitch. You're the first team." Her smile might havej

been built by an undertaker .

"He says you're almost well. You'll be going to Staff soon."
