Shelter By GEORGE S.BENSON President of Harding College Searcy, Arkansas ONE THING a lot of people need acutely is shelter. Shoi lages of building materials and the scar city of skilled workmen have com bined to make housing about the rarest commodity in common use. It is an every-day necessity, too. People have to have a place to live and they will pay whatever 'it costs to get in out of ta: weather, or they will take what shelter they can afford. Comes now proposed legislation to protect home buyers and home builders from inflation, by gov ernmental controls. Administra tion of rulings always brin-s delay, and more delay. Now v.e need housing, and more housing. Natural, competitive safeguar.w will provide better protection j against inflation than rulings, as certainly as sturdy walls will keep out more cold than red tape. Bid for STRATEGY now is to j Power fix ceiling prices on resi dential property, new and old, to allocate building mate rials and regulate the transfer of new real estate. Allocating ma terials means giving somebody a right to say who can build and who can’t. A crafty “coordi nator” with such authority could soon have a great many fellow citizens doing his bidding. Ameri ca needs a V-B Day on bureaus. - - ■ - - Ceiling prices on old residen tial property is an absurd idea. There is nobody in my state able to umpire the transfer of old homes in my town, much less yours. Such laws pre only made to break. A legal ceiling on new- honie prices might be easy to ex- press in a mathematical curve bet its result would be bad. It would tend to cheapen construc tion and encourage jerry-building. Ifcr.inud CLAMPING down on Urgent the sale of vacant lots would surely be wrong in point of expedience. It would bk! much precious time. Service m n are coming home now, not o ;r next year. They want places to jive, no later than they can get wiij and baby out of the in-laws’ spare room. They are entitled to a hon e and ought to have it as f t as their local builder can meet their needs. 1 don’t want to see today’s new heme makers (least of all service wan) pay three prices for houses, but natural competition among builders would prevent it if they could get materials'. Paying a premium for promptness in a time of emergency is a trivial matter compared to the “highway robbery ” we are courting in shod dy hour built cheaply to sell under a ceiling. Government’s moral obligations to home-seeking service men are three:. (1) Help builders get good building materials quickly to make suitable, small homes, (2) Begin no public works to busy the building trades until the home need is relieved, (3) See that mortgage money is not carelessly thrown around. Bank loans ought to be easy on well-built houses and impossible on poor ones. W HEN the Japs grabbed the rubber trees of Malaya and the East Indies, they never visioned that these ' rubber towers would spring up in Texas. Here, in the modern plant pictured above which is operated by Sinclair Rubber Inc. for the Government, a petroleum product, butylene, is transformed into butadiene. And butadiene, when mixed with styrene, becomes today’s tree-less rubber— synthetic rubber with a bounce. Today, Sinclair makes not only components BUY MORE WAR BONDS for synthetic rubber, but its modern refineries also make toluene, used in the manufacture of the explosive TNT, 100-oetane gasoline and many types of fuels and specialized lubricants needed wherever wheels go ’round. Altogether there are 10 Sinclair refineries turning out products for war. • SINCLAIR DEALERS help keep wheels turning on the home front, too. Let a Sinclair Dealer service your car regularly.
