Realtors Plan Survey of Vital Building Needs

O. A. Gane, President Florida Association of Real Estate Boards, today announced the appointment of an important committee of three prominent Realtor builders to make a survey of vital materials used in civilian building, and to recommend the use of suitable substitutes for critical materials, to the end that such materials might be conserved and made available for national defense. Merle Heasley of Orlando, a large builder of medium priced homes, is chairman. Brown Whatley, Jacksonville and Mrs. Ruth Broome, Gainsville, all of whom have achieved success in the building of solidly constructed medium priced homes, are the other members of the committee. In announcing the appointments Mr. Gane stated: "Realtors realize that defense comes first, but with defense work we must take care not to dislocate the business of the nation. Needed civilian building must go forward, and to this end wise use of substitute materials should be made quickly available. Florida cannot afford to lower its homebuilder standards, but I am asking the committee of Realtors to make a survey of building codes and standards of materials and construction to learn what materials not vital to defense may be utilized. Home building is the balance wheel, the stabilizer of rents, the back leg of purchasing power. I believe the survey will show that if attention is paid small fraction of vital materials and in most instances substitutes for these may be found. Mr. Gane added that it might be possible, in the interests of conservation of vital materials, for communities to adopt the model plumbing code developed by the Bureau of Standards about a year ago. He said he understood this code complies with all requirements for health and safety, but makes plumbing much less costly and therefore would result in conservation of important defense material.

Two Concerns Are Observing Anniversaries

Two Gables concerns, Sam's Service Station and Leon's Bakery, are observing anniversaries this week-end. Sam Weissel, pioneer service station operator, is looking back on seventeen years of progress, while Leon Ensminger is marking his first year in business in the Gables. Sam opened his first service station in the old triangle building on Alhambra Circle in 1926 and has expanded his business as the town grew. He later moved to Ponce de Leon and finally purchased his present building, which also houses the Post Office from the Coral Gables Corporation. Coral Gables was little more than a real estate development when Sam first opened on Armistice Day, 1926, but he saw a great future in the community and has proved his foresight. Leon is equally enthusiastic about the Gables future, although he is a comparative newcomer. "I am extremely grateful to the Gables for the wonderful business I have developed since I opened. It's a fine town with splendid opportunities."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE

What is meant by "Happy Hour" in the U. S. Navy? This is the name given to the sessions of relaxation aboard ship, when duties are forgotten and replaced by boxing and wrestling matches, movies, swimming and entertainment by various members of the crew. How many fleets are there in the United States Navy? There are three Fleets in the Navy at the preset time, the Atlantic Fleet, the Pacific Fleet, and the Asiatic Fleet. When once in the U. S. Navy how does one learn to specialize in one specific field of work? There are three ways a sailor may attain perfection in the specialized work of his own choosing: by study in Navy Schools, by practical experience aboard ship, by spare time study aided by correspondence courses conducted by the Navy. When are you paid in the Navy? Twice a month, on the 5th and the 20th. Is there any way of saving money aboard ship? Yes, men may deposit money with the Disbursing Officer, who will keep it in a safe. Each depositor is furnished with a "bank book" and receives from the Government four percent per annum interest on all money deposited. What are the "ports" on a ship? They are openings in the ship's sides which serve various uses. Air ports are for the admission of air and light. Gun ports are openings through which guns are pointed and fired. Merchant ships also have cargo ports. Can a sailor win promotions? Yes, an intelligent and ambitious sailor can expect promotion to the rating of Chief Petty Officer. Men of this rank are often promoted to the rank of Warrant Officer, and many are in time made commissioned officers. What is meant by "liberty"? Liberty means authorized absence from duty for less than 48 hours. Do sailors get an opportunity to see every port visited? Usually Shore-liberty, which may last 12 days, is generally granted everybody. How many days leave can a sailor have in a year? Leaves totaling 30 days, exclusive of travel time, are granted every year to enlisted men whose services can be spared. Are there any good, up-to-date books on the Navy? Yes, among the newest are "The Navy in Review", by Curtiss Erickson; "The Fleet Today", by Kendall Banning; "The Navy" by Hanson Baldwin; and many others.

This Week in Defense

AID TO BRITAIN, RUSSIA OPM Materials Director Batt said in a radio speech from Washington he had returned from the aid conference in Moscow with the thought that the "sensible, sane and selfish" course for the U. S. "is to deliver the goods-everything we possibly can provide-into the hands of people who can use them . . . against the enemy while he is still thousands of miles from our shores . . ." The Maritime-Commission announced delivery of the first of 60 emergency cargo boats being built for the British. The President signed the $5,985,000,000 second lend-lease appropriation and created in the Office for Emergency Management a Lend-Lease Administration with Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., as Admin. istrator. PAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS The Export-Import Bank authorized a $6,000,000 credit to the Banco Obrero, Venezuela, and announced special credit arrangements with banks in Latin America will be made to facilitate trade among the nations of the Western Hemisphere, to enable the American Republics to procure essential requirements for development of their resources and stabilization of their economies. PRICES The Labor Department reported for daily price index of 28 basic commodities rose 1.3 percent during the week of October 17 to 24, bringing prices in the index to more than 34 percent higher than a year ago. Price Administrator Henderson announced a comprehensive program to stabilize prices of all products made of copper, brass, or their alloys. He also issued a price schedule on glycerine and bed sheets. Sheet prices will be approximately 15 percent below current market levels, Mr. Henderson said. FACTS AND FIGURES Archibald MacLeish, Librarian of Congress, was appointed by the President to direct a new Office of Facts and Figures to "formulate programs designed to facilitate a widespread and accurate understanding of the status and progress of the national defense effort." The new office will advise Government agencies how they can best present information and data on national defense to keep the public fully informed. EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES Secretary of Labor Perkins reported average hourly earnings of factory wage earners were 74.5 cents during August. Federal Security Administrator McNutt announced 546,700 jobs were filled through the State employment services during September-25 percent more than last year. Wage-Hour Administrator Fleming said he favored a program of wage stabilization which would not freeze wages at present levels, but would first adjust existing differences between one plant and another doing the same work and make provisions for adjustments to increases in the cost of living. LABOR DISPUTES The President directed Secretary of War Stimson to take possession of and operate the Bendix, N. J., plant of Air Associates, Inc., after a dispute developed at the plant over the reinstatement of strikers on the recommendation of the Defense Mediation Board. Colonel Roy M. Jones, in charge of 2,100 soldiers who took over the plant, said, "employees desiring to return to their jobs will be given all necessary protection . . ." The Defense Mediation Board began hearings on the labor dispute involving captive coal mines in the Appalachian area after the United Mine Workers voted to accept the President's request to return to work in the interest of defense pending settlement of the dispute. The U. S. Conciliation Service reported settlement of 30 other labor disputes. DEFENSE HOUSING Defense Housing Coordinator Palmer reported 1,285 publicly-financed defense homes were completed during the week ended October 25, bringing the total ready for occupancy to 46,572. Homes being built or already completed under the defense program now number 101,785. DENTAL CARE OF SELECTEES Lt. Commander C. R. Wells, chief dental officer of the Selective Service System, said in a speech in Texas that the program to rehabilitate selective service registrants with physical defects that can be remedied will begin with the treatment of 100,000 men for dental defects. The men will be treated by dentists in their own communities at the expense of the Federal Government. CIVILIAN MORALE The Office of Education announced that in cooperation with the Office of Civilian Defense it will develop a School and College Civilian Morale Service through which "hundreds of thousands of teachers, educational leaders and citizen volunteers" can participate in the defense program by organizing "Freedom's Forums" in schools, colleges, clubs, churches and libraries to discuss national problems "with respect to facts and without hysteria." CIVILIAN SUPPLY Priorities Director Nelson ordered a 35 percent reduction in the use of steel by non-mechanical ice refrigerator manufacturers and a 17 percent cut in production of domestic washers and ironers. Mr. Nelson said that in one year 32,000 tons of steel would be saved by the latter cut. ARMY Secretary of War Stimson announced that specialty selected are in England studying air-raid defense prior to assignment with the U. S. Army Aircraft Warning Service. Mr. Stimson also announced the first battalion of the 87th Infantry Mountain Regiments-first regiment designed for mountain warfare-will be organized at Ft. Lewis, Washington, this month. The regiment will be made up of men specially skilled in mountain climbing and ski and snow-shoe travel. SHIPS The Maritime Commission launched two more Liberty ships. The Navy announced the 368 craft in its small-boat building program are being built by 76 firms throughout the country to spread the work as far as possible. POWER Priorities Director Nelson inaugurated a power conservation program calling for curtailment of the use of power by non-defense industry in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee unless heavy rains end the power shortage in these States before November 10. Program would prohibit use of power for advertising signs, shop windows and night athletic events.

Homesickness of Miss Floramaye Bass, 17-year-old Kissimmee freshman at Florida State College was cured recently when her father brought her pet horse "Jerry" to Tallahassee in a trailer.

To the Residents of CORAL GABLES

At the meeting of your City Commission on Tuesday, November 4th, the following resolution was passed: RESOLUTION NO. 2225 A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE POLICY OF THE COMMISSION ON THE PROPOSED GAS FRANCHISE WHEREAS, The Consumers Gas and Fuel Company has proposed to the City that an election be held on the question of granting to that company a franchise for the construction and operation of a gas supply and distribution system for the City of Coral Gables; and, WHEREAS, the Commission is of the opinion that gas facilities should be made available to the residents of the City as soon as the City can be assured of proper completion and operation of a plant and system under franchise terms which will be advantageous to the City and its consumers; but, WHEREAS, The Commission is very doubtful that necessary materials may be secured at the present time or in the near future, because of defense requirements for metals, and the extreme difficulty of securing priorities which milling deliveries, or even of securing deliveries after the granting of priorities, and the Commission deems it unwise to proceed with and grant a franchise which may remain dormant until the expiration of the defense emergency; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA: That further action upon the franchise proposed by the Consumers Gas and Fuel Company be deferred until the applicant and the City can be satisfactorily assured that necessary materials can be secured, and positive assurance can be given to the City that the proposed system can be completed and put in operation within a reasonable time. We have placed our priority application with the Priorities Board of the OPM and from advice received from the large manufacturing concerns who will supply the materials, we have every reason to believe that our application will be granted within a reasonable period of time. We believe that Gas is essential to Coral Gables, not only as a Defense measure, but to the day-to-day progress of this growing community. With these facts in mind, we pledge ourselves to continue our efforts to provide this city with gas facilites. The City Commission has assured us of its co-operation and we respectfully ask the support of the citizens. CONSUMERS GAS and FUEL CO. Phone: 5-5341 CHARLES E. STARR, President
