A TESTliVIONIAI, OF INTEREST TO EVEItV RESIDENT OE PUTNAM COUNTY

Greeneastle, Indiana February 6, 1947

To Whom It May Concern:

On January 29, 1947, R. E. Knoll finished a complete job of insulating our home. Words cannot express how happy we are to have had this work done for several reasons. First, we are positive we would not have had our home, today, had it not been for the fire proofness of the insulation Mr. Knoll installed just one week previous. About the middle of the afternoon we detected on odor of burning wood and smoke coming into the house, which we thought was from the fire-place in the dining room. However, near midnight we decided there must be fire inside the wall near the fire place and called the Greeneastle Fire Department for help. When they arrived it was discovered the damage was slight inasmuch as the insulation had held the fire in check and only a very small place, a foot square, was burned. Previously during very cold weather our living and dining room temperature ranged around 40 degrees, now it is from 70 to 75 degrees without additional firing. The entire house is much more comfortable. \ All statements made by Mr. Knoll when selling insulation to u$ ore proving to be true although it was hard for us to believe them at that time. We do not hesitate to say that insulation is the best investment we have ever made. We wish to say that Mr. Knoll has a very courteous and efficient crew doing his work and we cannot speak too highly of the way they handled our job. We are more than pleased. Yours very truly, MR. AND MRS. HARRY COLLINS, Greeneastle, R. R. No. 1

• AN UNt'SUAL PROBLEM has a’isen in coal mining areas over federal seizure of the soft coal industry. The miners are as confused as everyone else about whether they are federal employes Government lawyers told the Supreme cnuit that mincts are government workers "for some purposes" and that for other purposes they are

not.

t'nited Mine Workers’ attorneys contend the seizure was a "piper" transaction. Tltc union says that private operators slill pay I lie workers' wages, pay the taxes and lake the profits from the operation of the mines. Ilcie is the rub: Many minern think they are government employes and hence entitled to the 30-day sick leave of federal workers They've heon writing to union headquarters about it, but headquarters is also confused about the situation. It is a tricity problem for the Federal Coal Mines administration.

• ALTHOUGH PRESIDENT TRUMAN estimates that the government will spend only $330,000,000 to support farm prices next year, the agriculture department is prepared to put up as much as

$1.8f)0.000,000.

In His budget message to Congress the president named the $3:;0.000,000 figure. However, he warned that further expenditures would become necessary should markets weaken. If prices drop, the $330,000,000 would be merely a drop in the bucket. Agriculture department officials point out that commercial banks already art authorized to loan money on rrops. and that these loans are guaranteed by the Commodity Credit corporation.

housing shortage.

Practices exposed in the nation's capital have focused attention on an unsavory situation. Hundreds of Washington veterans made down payments on homes and then found their hopes blasted—

tveri in the seven boys' physical I contractors were unable to deliver. The former

■ servicemen lost most of their deposits.

Leaders of veterans' groups will demand that steps must bo taken to control operations of unscrupulous

and opportunist promoters and builders throughout Hits Gl's

the nation.

In Hie District of Columbia, local authorities have tightened their rules to meet the situation. Completion bonds are to he increased, m;;! hiokers accepting deposits must put them in trust. Spokesmen tor veterans' groups think the mechanics of getting proper state legislation will delay tightening-up in many areas.
