Home Building For War Veterans Adequate homes for veterans will not te built unless government price fixing machinery is set aside long enough for production of materials to starL according to Lawrence Jones of the Camden Lumber company. ‘‘With thousands of our small lum ber mills still out of business because of OPA wartime pricing policies; with a huge percentage of our lum ber selling in the black market at 120 \o $50 a thonsand feet over ceil ing price#; with our producing mills still being encouraged to produce war and industrial lumber by OPA pric ing formulas; with gypsum board be ing held off of the greater part of the retail market, thru regular channds, but, plenty of It being sold through black market—no one need look far to find out what is blocking borne building,” said Mr. Jones. "Neither the threats of govern ment competition in the housing field, nor the promise of unsound, uneco nomic sabsidles will start borne build ing. "The bnilding indnstry does not have to be snbsidised or coaxed to build. It o^y needs to have the shacklps striken off and to get rid of the OPA. ball and chain. "Get realistic pricing and prodne* tlon of materials will increase. The mills snd factories will be able to of fer Jobe to our veterans. "Umfl manpower, mills and facto ries can afford to produce bnilding materials, no asioant of governmeat contnd will resnlt in homes for Amer* Icmw."

T« It* n*s 0^1—' Eff(»ta are being made tq perfect the organization of a Parent-Teachers Association in Camden. To do this success fully, the active interest and support of every parent whose children attend the city schools is needed. Most “ progressive towns and cities of this and other states have such organizations. The objects of a Farent/Teachers association’are basic And real, and are quite simply stated as follows: To promote the welfare of children>%and youth in home, school, church, and communi% ' To secure adequate laws for tjm care and protec tion of children and youth. 'Mp - To bring into closer relation tim home and the school, that parent and teachers may cooperate intel ligently in the^ training of the Child. In days like these, with a world in the process of change, in which we find.many mal-adjustments and much unrest among younger people, when the home has been disrupted in many -instances to the point of "hlmost wilful neglect of the moral, spiritual, phyd^cal and intellectual life of the child, when the burdens of war necessitated the curtailment of many school activities and pressed into the teaching ser vice many untrained persons, the thought of this communi^ should be focused on the well being of Camden’s young people. They need, now, the careful and studied help of the home and the school and these two institations, which consume most of the serious {hours of a child’s life, acting to gether, must mold his character to withstand and combat the evil influences which will beset him or her, as well as preparing such child" for leadendiip in the affairs of the community. • 'T Baruch Birthplace Now A Sunday School Annex Dr. A, B.

The famo.as old Blneham hotae, erected about 1816, and having s great historical si^ficanra for it having been the birthplace of Bernard M. Baruch, world famous financier, statesman and hnmanitarian, and which has been over a long period of years a dwelling, funeral parlor^ inn and hotel, has now become an annex to the Sunday school of the First Baptist church. Shades of former occupants of this famous old edifice who Ihed within its steut vmlls many many years ago would have 'gased in awe-struck wond- er had they been able to gaze into the main parlor last wete. ' For it was an open house and dedi cation torvice of the Baptist Sunday school, in the new annex.

It ia believed he had the house built, though the exact date is unknown, most likely it was erected sometime between 1816 end 1826, this being a period of extensive building in this section of Camden.
