Y., outlined a modernizing program con- ducted there under its auspices. “One great practical feature about | this work,” Mr. Monad said, “Iis the fact that the changes are not elaborate and expensive. They are the simple necessary changes that should be made to many homes in the community to keep them intact and up-to-date, and they are of the type normally within the reach of the average home owner.” Other speakers included Fred Bohen, president of the Meredith Publicatio: Des Moines, Iowa, and John Ilder, rector of the Massachusetts Housing on.
