Owners of homes and other structures which "leak heat" can contribute much to the war effort if they insulate these buildings and thus save fuel, the Federal Housing Administration stated. It may be, in fact, that they will have to use less fuel next winter, whether or not they insulate.

Fuel is of vital importance to war production, the FHA pointed out, and the threat of a fuel shortage already is casting its shadow over the Eastern seaboard. Insulation helps conserve fuel and at the same time involves the use of little or no material needed otherwise for the war effort.

"ft is unusual to call the attention of the home owner to the importance of insulation at the approach of spring," officials said. "Today, however, the home owner can get the material, as insulation material is generally available and is not on the list of critical rnaterials. In most sections of the country he can get the workmen, although skilled labor is getting increasingly scarce. And in all sections of the country he should be able to get the money under Title I of the Housing Act.

"Aside from all this, no one knows how much the use of coal, oil, and gas in the home will be restricted next winter.

"Several thousand financial institutions throughout the country are actively making modernization and repair loans insured by the FHA under Title I. They have just recently been asked to limit Title I lending to finance work which contributes to the war effort in some way, or which is necessary to health and safety.

"Luxury loans are out for the duration of the war, as far as the FHA program is concerned. But loans for adequate insuldtion, with the consequent saving in fuel, are very much in order. Reliable dealers, contractors, and others can advise home owners on what steps to take in insulating."

The use of insulation of various kinds and care in the operation and maintenance of the heating system benefit the home owner by making the drvelling more comfortable and by reducing the cost of heating.
