Construction Costs Soqr Upword

In one of the sharpest increases in a decade, the nation's construction costs soared an average of four percent during the year ending April 30. Gains generally were higher in larger metropolitan areas.

"Both labor rates and materials prices contributed to the cost increase which, in some areas, jumped 13 percent," said William H. Edgerton, manager of Dodge Building Cost Services. According to the survey, building construction costs are 205.7 percent higher today than in 1941.

An average 7.2 percent rise in hourly wage rates for building trades craftsmen was the primary catalyst in the climb in building costs, Edgerton said. With some exceptions average building materials prices rose only l.B percent during the same period, he added.

The major exception was lumber which experienced price increases of as much as 80 percent in some categories during the past 12 months. But, according to the Dodge survey, many lumber prices have been reduced markedly lately and this trend is expected to continue.

HE HOUSEHOLDER carefully surveyd the seedy looking individual standing before him. "You look like a big, healthy fellow," said he, "why don't you go to work?"

"Well, sir," said the hobq "I'll tell you my trouble. I'm an unhappy medium."

"What on earth is that?"

"Why, I'm too heavy for light work and too light for heavy work."

His hunting eompanion had mistaken him for a deer and shot him. "Tell them I died game," were his last words.

Many imagine that the higher you go tle easier the climbing. Don't be governed by that theory unless you have a soft place to fall back into.

"A girl and a car are much alike," said the philoeopher. "A good paint job conceals the years, but the lines tell the story."

The teacher was testing the knowledge of the kindergarten class. Slapping a coin sharply on the desk, she asked, "What is that?o' o'Tails." said a voice from the back row,

BY JACK DIONNE

1882-1966

To expect a single advertisement to pay is as foolish as to hope to grow fat frorn the efiect of one dinner. Do not begin to advertise unless it be the intention to stick to it.-Nathaniel C. Fowler.

John Wanamaker said: ir, ,nlr"', Jn" "rrt"rprire on earth that the quitter should leave alone, it is advertising. Advertising does not jerk: it pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady, it increases day after day, year after year, until it exerts an irresistible power," * * *

And when you are inclined to think the world is dealing harshly with you, picture the plight of the man whose son is out in the yard playing rnarbles with his glass eye just when he needed it to look for work. * * *

An old lady was walking by the creek when she came upon some boys bathing in the nude. o'Boys," she said severely, "isnot it against the law to go swimming without bathing suits?" t'Yessum," replied one, "but come on in. \Ve won't tell on you.t'

Snob: "I never associar" *rrrr lo, ,ni"o*, do you?"

Bob: "I never met anv of vour inferiors."
