Tells Legionnaires Private Enterprise Can Do The Veteran's Housing Job

An advertisement by the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California was printed in the San Francisco Examiner and San Francisco News the day that Wilson Wyatt, national housing expediter of Washington, D. C', appeared before the business session of the American Legion national convention in San Francisco.

The ad was titled: "Veterans Here Is The Way To Get That Home You Need and Here Is What Is Required To Provide It For You."

A part of the ad that told the veterans what is needed to help themselves read as follows:

1. Get the facts.

2. Insist on the elimination of bureaucratic bungling and a return to the historical method of "good" home building.

3. Support the free enterprise method in home building. It built well in the past. Free of burdensome government restrictions, it can build even more and better homes in the future.

4. Urge your local and national officers to consult regularly with the lumber and building industry and support its stand that private enterprise can accomplish the veteran's housing job.

This well-timed ad did its part in telling the Legionnaires and the people of San Francisco the retail lumber dealers'story.

Lumber Tariffs Lifted

Washington, Oct. 2S.-President Trurnan today authorized importation of lumber duty free, and Wilson Wyatt recommended $54,000,000 in Federal loans for makers of prefabricated homes.

The actions came as it became clear that Housing Expediter Wyatt would fall short of his 1946 goal of. l,ZA0,000 new dwellings started. Officials said, however, a major effort would be made to get a flying start on the 1947 target of 1,500,000.

The suspension of tari11 rates, the President said, rvill remain in effect until the end of the Veterans' Emergency Housing Act, or until Mr. Truman rules t.hat the emergencv has passed, "rvhichever shall first occur."

Only Sligrht F-{fect Seen by Lumbermcn

Oregon, Oct.25.-Tarifi-free importations of lumber rvill have little effect on easing the housing shortage, H. V. Simpson, executive vice-president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, predicted today.

"Nothing Too Much"

By Adeline Conner

"There's nothing too much for the boys to give," Those were the words we said; "Nothing too much to give or do When peace from the world has fled." So they offered all when their country called, And gave till their young hearts bled; "Nothing too much," their lips replied Though the dreams of youth lay dead.

"Nothing to omuch," and so they gave The joy and the gleam of life, Their strong young hands and their agile feet, The love of sweetheart and wife; The peace of home, and the long, long dreams, Of years that were not to be, A mother's smile and her tender arms ' That the world might indeed be free.

They carried the world in their brave young hearts, With its burden of hate and greed, And into their untried hands we gave Its infinite pain and need. Boys they were when they marched away, But men when we called them back.

For the brain and the heart may be seared and scared That follow the war god's track.

"Nothing too much," and they freely gave To the ultimate gift of life-

' Going west !" through a roaring Hell In the bitterest hour of strife.

Day after day as the mad years passed, They followed where duty led, And many the dear familiar name In the list of those called "dead."

Oh, they gave, they gave, and then came back, And now, in the marts of trade, We pass them by with a heedless word, Forgetting the price they paid.

And they think sometimes as in waking dreams They see war's red flames dance, "FIow peaceful and safe are those who sleep In their low, green graves in France."
