HVE-IETTER WORD HOLDS BROWNWOOD'SlikjTURE
SgfrJSiE
?he aTerM« resident of Brown wood may not realise everything that
. Bo many people have been so engrossed In their own affairs
and living that relatively few have an opportunity to keep in
with the pulse of the town.
as * “*n Camp Brown wood la not as great

menta has never been greater. |
m**n ther* “V occasion for an upshovg In rental
ma7'g« ~ U*e facU are opposite. What la happening
W te summed up as foUowa: JiV* T|[[j " "
Thousands of permanent rssldente of Brownwood want to ‘continue
■Whf pare. Some of these have had their rents raised. They are
and often unable to pay this lncreaae. and are looking for
stay where their rent will not be skyrocketed.•
^ „_• loo» *** famines of army men are trying to find homes Most
£L,MnlU“ 01 “on-oommlsdoped officers and-privates. They
cannot/ afford to pay exorbitant rents, and they wifi come here only if
they can find placet to stay at rates In Une with what they are able to
P«y s»d accustomed to paying elsewhere.
NM. Brownwood has a golden opportunity. It has a chance to
make for itself thousands of permanent new residents who will always
feel pateful to this community for having put a "welcome" sign out for
trem^ With employment In Brownwood and In the permanent phases of
the «mjr camp scheduled to continue a steady climb for a long time, the
Rte sit ajar for the bright rays of a new sun to snlne into this city.
3ut housing must be provided; it must be provided quickly; It must
be Maided at prices in line with towns that do not have nations! defense
That’s the situation that the people of Brownwood face today. The
Still theirs to make Brownwood a city of SOJN^io 60.000 p
residents That chanee will vanish unless the property owners,
and civic leaders realise what la going on and do something
nd use lulling ourselves into a false feeling of permanent
KWpetliy over the fact that nearly every shack and room is now fUlad
Pith paying customers
The American people are peculiar In that they demand decent Uv~
big conditions. They win not live In a shack and pay high rent for long
•hen they can go elsewhere, live In a good, modem horns at a reasonable
rate and perhaps draw even better wages. • 1
So now let’s “talk tmkey" among ourselves here In Brownwood Let's
Mbnlt that vages In many lines are and have been for many years lower
here than they have been In ether places that we bite to point to when we
start taBtng about raising rents.
And let’s admit that mqst of the people who are coming in to stay
sre going to be drawing low Vages and win stay only If they can find
homes at prices In Une with their Incomes
A sergeant weati to the Chamber of Commerce a day or two ago
apologetically asked If that was the place where be might, find out about
sn apartment to rent. Ha was told that there was no apartment avail-
kbit for the moment. J w ’ I j j Irk*
A corporal toM the Bulletin he wanted to move hk little family to

"We've rot to have something reassnsblt or the folks will have to
stay behind." Is the recurrent plea . j TIT}
This is an emergency; this Is s splendid opportunity: this Is Brown-
wood's future ar d its dream—achieved or lost. Which shall it be1
Brownwood must wahr up. The time If drawing short Pretty soon
It win be too late as other plans arg made. Grieving over spilled mlflr
