SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONlCLft Babson Advises Building New Home If You Live In It ao * J. C. THOMAS New Boston, N. H., Nov. thoufh I have written about housing more than once recently, a number of readers are asking me to tell them specifically what I think about building new homes now in view of the recent Federal Reserve cut back of credit priv ileges. Readers are writ ing me that they would like to build a home; but they are not large wage ***** w * ****** earners and prices are now so high that they are afraid to act. My answer to these people is that it is OJC. to build now if you want a home to live in (not to rent). Also, if you can pay at least one- quarter down with a 15 year pay ment plan on the balance even al though it does cost a lot to build a new home today with present high prices of building materials and la bor. Prices of labor and most materials, however, are not going to come down very soon. Those who decide to post pone building their new home until prices readjust themselves to some thing like pre-war values, will be obliged to wait a long time. This is a growing country whose population and economy have expended might ily in the last ten years. So long as it continues to grow and so long as our living standards advance, we ( cannot expect a return to the lower <| price level of years gone by. Let us I look abend rather than backward and not be afraid to invest in the future of America.

The book itself can be secured for $1.25 from the Superintendent of Docu- ments,'Washington 25, D. C. For three years I lulve warned of the danger of living in these cities. As this danger becomes more acute, more .i^Ki more people will try to move residences from these bomb-vulnerable cities, thus adversely affecting real estate val ues in those cities and raising val ues in rural sections. High taxes, al so make it wise to avoid the larger cities as locations for new homes, i Best bets for new homes today are' cities under 50,000 population with preference to the smaller towns and rural areas. The smaller the com munity, the better your chance for clean, healthy living in the Amer- icon tradition. Build A Practical Home I advise readers who have never built before to do some careful plan ning before spending their hard- earned cash. Do not be earned away by impatient contractors, but insist upon a fixed contract price, avoid ing “cost plus’*. Know what you want and make sure you will get it before you commit yourself.
