Many communities plan also to open for public demonstration through- out Better Homes week houses have been recently remodeled. Lectures to Be Heard. “Thousands of communities will have lecture programs and discussions deal- ing with the various subjects covered by the conference on home building and home ownership, which was called by Mr. Hoover in 1931, the findings which now are available in 11 pub- nahAeclll volumes. " persons are urged to co- te in_this important civic enduvomn to take advantage of the lectures, con- tests and demonstrations arranged by the 8,000 local Better Homes Commit- tees.
