Homes For Low Income Groups

Better and healthier homes for low-income groups can only be made available if organized labor and health authorities form an alliance to fight for better housing,

according to Rollo H. Britten, of _

the U S. Public Health Service, At a recent meeting of the American Public Health Associa- tion Mr. Britten declared: “To me the failure of society ap-

preciably to improve housing con- ditions in many years in this country means one thing -- that

health authorities lnust co-operatc‘

with organized labor in meeting this problem, because the persons who are going to live in the hous- es are the ones most directly con- cerned in furthering housing re- form. Equally it is a challenge to organized labor to develop an in- creasing interest and expertness in this field." MANY HOMES OVERCROWDED

M1". Britten quoted figures from the National Health Inventory of the Public Health Service and from other housing surveys that showed how many homes in the nation are overcrowded and with- out adequate sanitary faculties. Those who have just struggled with the problem of finding a bet- ter home on this last moving day know from their own experience how bad the situation is.

The housing situation is evi- dently going from bad to worse unless something is done soon. Mr.

Britten also quoted figuresshowirp that by 1941 ‘we shall need son\'

4,000,000 new homes and by i945 we shall need nearly 10,000,000. These figures are based on econ- omic demand, not on social needs.

ESSENTIALS FOR HOME

Eight essentials of a healthful home environment were drawn up by Mr. Britten as follows:

1- A pure and sufficient water sunnlv-

2. Sanitary sewage disposal.

3. Sufficient ventilation, heat and light.

4. Space enough for family demands.

5. Abesnce oi excessive damp- ness.

6; Screening against flies and mosquitoes.

7 . Freedom from fire and other risks ofiaccidcnts. ‘

8. Adequate playground a n d sunshine for children.

Summer Home g Is Prey Of Winter

Protection Against." Elements Needed '

Urban dwellers who spend the summer in their cottages in the country, remaining until the mid- dle of November often leave with- out taking necessary precautions against the deprcdations of Winter weather. A little time spent on reconditioning the summer cottage before it is deserted‘ for the winter will protect it from deterioration and prepare it for occupancy next season.

Check over the items which may need attention. Will the roof de- velop lealcsrduring the snow or heavy rainstorms? Should it have new shingles or stain? Are, the metal ﬂashtngs and drain pipes in good order? Will exterior porches and steps rot before another sum- mer? Are the basement walls waterproof, etc?

A careful checking of all these items will probably reveal a num- ber which should be tended to im- mediately. For example, while you may wish to wait until spring to apply a fresh coat of paint so that it will be bright for the sum- mer, it is much wiser to apply it now. Exterior paint is essentially a protective coating, and during the next six months a cottage needs protection more than during the summer months.

If downspouts or gutters are in bad condition, the water will-often seep down the wall and into cracks which otherwise would give no trouble. If the interior of the house is damp, any article left in it will mildew.

While the weather is still good, make these repairs and save major reconditioning Jobs next spring.

BRIGIITENING ROOM

A room where little or no sun- light enters is greatly brightened by using a yeflow paint or paper. It gives the feeling of sunlight. One should be careful about the choice of draperies in a room of this type. as any dark shade would darken the room. '

LOWER CHARGES ESSENTIAL SAYS ECONOMIST

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 —Five million more families of moderate income in the United States could afford home ownership if interest rates for home financing were re- duced and rapid obsolescence were prevented by proper zoning and restrictions through which the period of amortization could be increased.

There are the conclusions of a study of the causes underlying the present home shortage as reached by Lowell J. Chawner. chief econ- omist of the construction and real property section of the Department of Commerce. His findings are pub- lished in the current issue of Free- hold. magazine of the National Association of Real Estate Boards.

Through more effective financ- ing practices and more effective control over the growth and deve- lopment of urban districts, and lhu. nf obwlescence, this economist contends, a reduction in interest rates from the present 6 and 6 1-2 per cent to 4 1-2 per cent and an increase in the period of amortiza- tion from 20 to 30 years could be effected.

His calculation is based on the assumption that one-fifth of the family income is allocated to cover intere»t and amortization charges on the total purchase price of house and lot.

‘REMOVING WHITEWASII

To take off ordinary whitewash, soak it with water. Use a large sponge; wet a section of the wall, and than, after a few minutes, when the whitewash has softened, go over it again with clean water.

LET-DOWN SHELF

A let-down shelf in the cabinet in the small room will prove useful i for a writing ,dressing or work’ table. When it has been used it may be pushed back into place.
