The fact that communities are plastered with “for rent” and “for sale” signs is no indication of an _ over-supply of dwellings; it simply indicates the ex- tent of the doubling-up process that has taken place during depression—a process that will be reversed as conditions improve. By the same token, the survey demon- strates that there is an almost incalculable amount of reconditioning and modernizing of existing residences that needs to be done. An interesting phase of the survey is that the small, one-family home, costing $5,000 or less, will be principally in demand when the new-building wave starts. The thrifty home-owner and piieee | EL tive builder, reading this, will not miss its message. It means just one thing: higher prices for both new construction and alter- ations and improvement. The first signs of that price rise are appearing, with a gradual and steady strengthening of the commodity price level. Prices are still extremely low—construction and material firms are offering bargains that _ would have seemed fantastic not so long ago— there is a plentiful supply of skilled and common labor. That condition won't last forever. If you are one of the five hundred thousand who need a home, build now if you possibly can. If you are one of the several million who have permitted needed repairs to go undone, have them done now. That leaky roof—that inefficient furnace —those rickety steps—that ancient wiring —that neglected plumbing—now is the time to fix them. You'll be doing more than buying yourself something you need at a low price. You'll be helping provide employment and a market for supplies. You’ll be an influence for recovery. Em- ployment and investment are cheaper and better than charity.

The Bristow, Oklahoma, Record has issued a book of type faces in stock for the benefit of advertisers in their make-up. Several years ago The Artman Press is- sued such a catalogue for the users of printing and advertisers of The Citizen. The booklet is 4 1-2x10 inches in size and contains 18 pages, showing various sizes and styles of type to the number 288. No newspaper or job office in the state of Flor- ida has such a large assortment of type faces, with the exception of those plants that cast their own type, of which there are very few in this state. alone, destroying timber worth many mil- lions of dollars, covering an area of more than 840,000 acres. No estimates of the losses in‘state and private forests are available, but they reach an enormous total. When it is con- sidered that a large percentage of the trees burned were around 100 years old, the lasting damage\to an important resource ean be better appreciated. The problem of reducing these losses is a most difficult one. | Much money is being spent in providing forest rangers, lookout stations, airpldne patrols and other means for detecting and extinguishing in- cipient fires, but under conditions of ex- treme drought, such as obtained last year, these seem unavailing. Still, nearly all these losses are caus- ed by the carelessness of tourists and others, who fail to exercise “caution in the disposition of burning matches, cigar and cigarette butts, and in putting out camp fires before leaving them. Most fires, in forests and elsewhere, are caused by indifference and negligence, which it seems impossible to overcome. THE GREAT PROTECTOR Curiously enough, a great many Americans regard life insurance purely as “death insurance,” protection for the de- pendents when the income-producer dies. This, of course, is an. outstanding function of life insurance. But it does a great deal more than that. It is being in- creasingly used as a means of guarantec- ing the education of one’s children, for as- suring an adequate income in one’s old age, to protect against business reverses, to build an estate or rebuild a depleted one. For has been paying more money to living pol- ity holders than to beneficiaries. There is hardly a human exigency that life insurance, in one or another of its forms, won't cover. It has earned the right to be called the great protector. And it has earned the right, too, to be called as | ——---—-- secure and as safe an institution as the hu man mind has been able to conceive. The fact that thousands of Americans are turn- ing to it with a new realization of its pos- sibilities and achievements means much to the future of the country. } girl some time past, the life insurance industry | connected with a large construc- The game will be free to all. tion firm in Baltimore.
