GAS
Overwhelming choice ler
running modern kitchen
This decided preference is not surprising when
one considers the homemaker prepares in one
year about 1,000 meals. This represents at
least 1,500 hours4 work in her kitchen. So she
has reason for some pretty definite ideas. She
demands efficiency, speed, comfort, beauty
and economy. She knows from experience gas
meets her requirements. These ore some of her
actual statements: “I like gas for refrigeration
. . . it's much quieter." ‘Td rather have a gas
range than any other kind." "Gas equipment
is inexpensive to run . . . but I’d insist on it at
any price because it works so much better."

Why Don't We Have Lumber
For Home Building?
There are plenty of trees, plenty of
lumber mills, but very little lumber
for Home Building. WHY?
Here are the simple facts behind
the lumber shortage—these facts are
stopping home building:
]# Over 50% of our lumber was once
cut by small mills. Thousands of
these mills were put out of busi-
ness during the war by OPA ceil
ing prices. OPA still clings to
wartime policies and these mills
are still out of business.
2. OPA’s blind "hold the line” poli-
cies, plus lack of enforcement,
have led to the development of a
huge black market in lumber.
“Black market" lumber is lumber
that costs the people more money
than they would pay if lumber
were flowing to them through the
normal channels of distribution—
the retail lumber dealer.
3. Wartime ceiling prices made it
profitable for the lumber manu-
facturer to cut sizes of lumber
suitable for war uses, but not
. suitable for home construction.
As OPA continues this unrealis-
tic policy, manufacturers contin-
ue to cut lumber sizes which are
unsuitable for home construction.
In some cases premium prices
granted by OPA encouraged pro-
duction of lumber not usable for
home building. Proper peacetime
adjustments have not yet been
made to encourage production of
home construction lumber such
as flooring, ceiling, siding, mill-
work, plywood — all essential
items in home construction. This
.situation affects all lumber pro-
duction.
4. The manufacturers of lumber
have been provided with a hidden
premium on export lumber. The
OPA has made it more profitable
to produce lumber for export to
foreign countries than to produce
lumber for home construction.
These are merely examples from
the lumber field which indicate the
type of OPA action that is blocking
the production of home building ma-
terials in many fields.
The fact remains that homes can
not be built by any industry or Gov-
ernment agency without materials.
Homes can not be built without
lumber—whether that home be wood
frame, brick, concrete or stone.
The lumber and building material
dealers, and the contractors of the
nation can build all the homes need-
ed—IF they have the materials. But
the flow of materials must be un-
blocked. Only increased production
of building materials can solve the
so-called housing problem and the
unrealistic pricing policy of OPA is
the biggest present block to in-
creased production!
☆ ☆ ☆
Any government program*, that
does not FIRST remove the obstac-
les blocking production of materials
will simply add additional difficulties
to the problem facing the building
industry.
