Death On The Highways
We’re one hundred percent with the Lancaster News in
suggerting that -the Soutti Carolina legislative committee in
vestigating the trsffic problem conrider well the suggestions
of R. Get^s Browning, chief locatpg engineer of the North
Carolina state highway and public works commission.
Mr. Browning has advanced a six-point problem for re
ducing automobile accidents. First he suggests that highways
be designed to handle a given volumn of traffic at a given
speed; 2nd, phwical examination of all drivers; 8rd, frequent
ch^kup of all vehicles; fourth, adequate traffic supervision
through increase of highway patrol personnel; fifth, estaiH
lishment of traffic courts at frequent highway intervals and
6th,-required carrying of insurance against personal injury
and property damage by automobile oyJ^ers.
We are personally very strongly in favor of the sixth
suggestion. That, with the second and fourth would go a long
way toward solving some of the ^ore drastic piwblenM now
facing the law enforcement officials ^

Why Don’t We Have
' Lumber For
0 •
HOME BUILDING?
There are plenty of trees, plenty of
lumber mills, but very little lumber for ^
Home BuUding. WHY?-
- r ‘ :*
Herd"’are-the..simple facta behind the lumber
shortage—these fact's X^-stoppiag Jlgu^Build-
Ing:
<
1. Over 60 percent of our lumber was once cut
by small mills. Thousands of these mills were
put out of business during the war by OPA
ceiling prices. OPA still ennga to wartime
policies and- these mills are still out of buai-
e. OPA's blind "hold the line" policiea. plus lack
of enforcemenL have led to the development
of a huge Black Market in. lumbar. "Black
Market" lumber ii lumber '"^tbat coats the
. people more nnhiey than they would pay If
lumber-, were flowing to them through the
narmal channels of distribution—the retail
lumber dealer.
a
S. Wartime ceiling prices.made it profitable for
, the lumber maoufactuter to cut lisea of lum
ber suitable for war uses, but not' aoHable for
home constmetion. Aa OPA .continues this un*
‘ realistic policy, manufactorera continue to cut
lumber sites which are unsuitable for home
. construction. In some cases' premium prloes
granted by OPA encouraged production M
lumber not usable for Home Building. 'Prop
er peacetime adjustments havt' not ydt best
made > to encourage production of home ooa*
stmetion lumber such as flooring, eeiliag,
siding, mlllwork, plywood—all essential iteai
in home construction. This situation affect!
all lumber prodnetkm.
4. The manufacturers of lumber have been prP
~vided~witlE.4LJildden pramlum on export lu»-
ber. The OF IhMiiitrnr 11 'mMm proptsW*
, to produce lumber for export to fo—
countries, than produce lumber for bone ess*
Btruction.
These are merely examples from the ‘luntef
field .which indicate Ute'type of QPA aotloa ttet
is blocking the production of home boUdlac as
terials in many flrida.
The fact remains that homas cannot be balk
.by any Indnstry or Government agency wlthaB
materials
Homes cannot be -buQt without lumbei^
whether that home be wood frame, brick, oes*
Crete, or atone. -
' The lumber and bgildlng material dealers, sM
the contractors of the nation es" build all tte-
homee needed—It they have the materials. BM
■ the flow of materials must be unblocked. (Mo
increased production of bnikling materials css
solve the BO<alled housing problam and the
realistic pricing policy of OPA la the blgf»
present block to Increasad prodvetlcm!
Any foymment program that Horn not FIRST ioino%^ tha oh-
staclm Mocking prodnetioa of matsrials will soapy add sMdltiooal
difficoltias to tha problam facing t^ building Mdnstry.
