The Reserve board, in a publi
cation, noted contract construc
tion was providing jobs for more
than 2,000,000 workers at mid
year. Even while activity declined
substantially at the nation's fac
tories and mines 'n the spring
and early summer, the board re
port showed, construction was
scoring a more than seasonal rise
from its low winter levels.
That was one factor credited
by the Commerce department
with cushioning the decline in the
total output of goods and serv
ices the "gross national prod
uct" during the second quarter
of 1949.
This output was at an annual
rate of $256,100,000,000 in the sec
ond quarter, down 2.4 per cent
from the preceding quarter and
down 5.3 percent from the peak
reached in 1948's final quarter.
The Commerce department
blamed a cutback in business in
ventories for the decline since
that cutback narrowed the mar
ket for goods and services.
The Reserve board bulletin
credited a pickup in private hous
ing recently to a variety of fac
tors, including:
1. "A small decline in interest
rates generally," and "perhaps
more important" the availabili
ty of federal funds to buy mort
gages from institutions which felt
"loaned up," thus providing them
funds for use in new lending.
2. Availability of new houses
"at somewhat lower prices." a
shift to construction of smaller
homes, and improvement in "the
quality of design, equipment and
workmanship in most areas."
3. The fact that many fami
lies, all set with plans to buy and
bolstered by relatively high level
incomes and savings for the na
tion at large, simply "have be
come reconciled to the high level
of prices."

Converted Solomon Islander Uses
Bible, Battle-Axe In Work For Lord
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON. The son of a former Solomon Island head
hunter, on his first venture out of the south Pacific, says he fears
the life of the cities far more than that of the wildly uncivilized
areas of his native land. Pastor Robert Salau, an ordained Seventh
day Adventist minister of the island of Vella la Vella, speaking in
pidgin English said:
"After all. time dangerous. Country better. Look trees, think
God." In the cities there are movies. He doesn't want any part of
them. There's drinking He made a gesture as If lifting a glass to
his lips. His expression Indicated he imagined the taste pretty awful.
For amusement Pastor Salau '
visited zoos in the cities where he
has been attending Adventist con
ventions. "Better than night
clubs. Home see wallaby, pos
sums, crocodile. Animals big
here."
He was a boy of about 12 when
Pastor G. F. Jones, a veteran
missionary and his gentle, wife
came to his island In a little mis
sion vessel and started a mission
school. Young Salau's father re
fused to let him attend, so he
ran away to the mission. With a
Bible in one hand and a spear and
battle-axe In the other, he has
been telling congregations here
how the work of Christian schools,
medical clinics and evangelism
have changed the outlook of thou
sands of natives in the field he
represents.
He estimates that he has per
sonally converted to Christianity
more than 2,000 islanders, includ
ing his father, a head hunter, who
at one time decorated the rude
hut where he lived with the skulls
of his victims. Pastor Salau has
four children, all named by or
after American Gls he met during
the war.
Here's his pidgin English In
terpretation of the Lord's Prayer:
"Papa belong me fella, stop on
top lone heaven, name belong
You he tabu;
Kingdom belong you, he come
down long ground, alia same be
long on top.
Give me fella kat kat (food)
enough long today;
Forgive "1m sin belong me fella,
alia same me fella forgive 'im
sin belong all;
No let me fella long something
no good, but help 'im me fella
long something good.
Kingdom belong You. Big Fella
