New Housing Being Built TodaY Containc Many lmproved Features

Washingtort, l). C., I\Iay (r-'l'he greater cttlrlforts ancl corrveniences itn<l tll()rc llttractivc design in ncrv h<tmes bcing built today arc largely responsiblc for thc ttnprcce<lcntcd vrtlttntc rlf htlusing llroduction now ttuder way, II' R' Northup, vice-llrcsiclcnt of the N:rtion:tl Itetail Lttmtrer ])ealers Associittirln, statc<l ycstcrtlay.

"Stal)ilization of home buil<ling costs lttr<l the incrcased nunrlrcr of rcntal units lrcing cotrstructcd also are contributing to tlte record-breaking demand," Mr. Northrup sai<|. "Ii;rvorable crcclit ternrs rvhich hold rlronthly charges to :r nrinimurn arc, of ctltlrsc, a decisive factor, but the basic valucs being built into ttcw dwellings is the principal firctor rvhich is attr:tctirrg nratt-v thottsands of families into to<lay's ncrv homes.

"lt is significartt that thc increasc<l demantl for trew hclr.ncs is presctrt itt evcry rlrajor scctiot.t of the cotlntry, rvhich in<licates thitt thc pulllic cvcrylvhere is responding to the appeal which toclay's better hotnes ofier.

"Attractive credit tertrrs o{Ierecl under the FHA and Vr\ nrortgagc insurance progral'trs are only partly responsible for the great stcp-tlp in home building so far this year. The nunrlter <lf new hottles being financed n,ithout the aid of Federal insurance features also has shown an equally gre:tt increase over the first four months of last year.

"New housing being built today c<,rntains many improved features not commonly preser.rt in hon-res built in the period following World War L Today's homes contain more insulation and weather-stripping, more effrcient heating plants, larger window areas, nlore closet space, and many essential items of home equipment which were not inclrrded in the dwellings put up 25 an<l 30 years ago."

Flat Grain flooring is cut with, or on a tangent to, the annual growth ring. It may be equally as hard as vertical grain but does not have the even distribution of hard summer growth found in vertical grain stock and is generally lcss resistant to wear. Flat grain flooring costs less than vertical grain flooring and where not subjected to heavy wear, or where covered rvith carpet or linoleum, ser\-es the purpose well.

The call of the outdoors drew an increased number of campers and picnickers to California's l8 national forests last year, according to an annual report just released by the U. S. Forest Service regional office at San Francisco.

Itecreationists nlade 3,800,000 visits to these forests in 1949, statcd M. M, Barnum, recreation and lands chief. That included 1,100,000 visits to forest campgrounds' a gain of 8 per cent over the previous year.

The 531,000 visitors at picnic areas were a 16 per cent increase.

Organization catnps operating under special-use permit from the Iiorcst Scrvice drerv 145,000 youngsters and oldsters, a step-up of 13 Per cent.

Other uses showed these totals : winter sPorts areas, 533,000; resorts and hotels, 336,000; summer homes, 261,000; wilderness areas, 59,000; hunting and fishing areas' etc., 848,000.

Thc total of visits does not include an estimated 13 million motorists who traveled scenic forest rotltes.

A 31 per cent drop in winter sports use last year reflected the severe wintcr of early 1949 which blocked roads to ski areas on some weekends, Mr. Barnum said. This also contributed to a reduced business at forest resorts and hotels.

The 1,100 campgrounds in national forests in California are free, except for six, where a fee is being charged on an experimental basis.

No new campgrounds were established last year, and no existing campgrounds were enlarged, Mr. Barnum reported. Iixisting facilities were repaired, and some which had worn out were rPelaced.

"Danger of contaminated r,l'ater supply to forest campgrounds and picnic areas is the top problem at present," said Mr. Barnum. "At recluest of the Forest Service, the U. S. Public Health Service inspected many sources of water stlpplies in 1949. The inspections showed need for intensive action to protect the water supply from pollution. The Forest Service is using every means at its disposal to assure safe water at forest recreation areas. \Mhere a sa{e water supply is not available and a stream or lake is the source of supply, the area rvill be posted to warn the public of the Pollution danger."

Named Comrnittee Chcrirmqn

Following his election to the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce of the TJ.S. comes the news that Norman P. Mason. treasurer of the William P' Proctor Company, North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, and past president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has been appointed chairman of the Chamber's highly important Construction and Civic Development Department committee.

This is the first time that a retail lumber dealer has been chosen to preside over this influencial committee which determines top-level policy for the entire construction industry.

Mr. Mason's selection for the post constitutes recognition of the important part which the retail lumber industry plays today in the national economic picture and of his distinguished past services to his industry.
