Portland Plan Proves Popular in i
Other Cities and Movement Is j
General Throughout Country.!
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN OUTLINED
Management of Portland Housing-
Effort Furnishes Advice: and
'Assistance to .. Other Cities.
Judging froin the numerous requests
directed to. i'ortland'H own-your-home
canuilifii bureau for Information as to
tho conduct of local campaigns. It ap
penrs that a large number of cities
throughout the Northwest are planning
toj put on campaigns of a similar char
acter, and are anxious to obtain Infor
mation aa to means and methods. The
press has been requested by O. II.; Skot
Jiemi, executive secretary of the local
..i-ampaign, to publish Information as to
the arrangements made through the
department of labor to furnish an out
line of plans and methods for own-your-home
campaigns;- ; . .
i Organlzatloa of Campaign!
Three months ago Paul C. Murphy of
Portland, for years Interested in own-your-home
work,' was called to Wash
ington, for' the purpose of outlining a
national campaign with detailed Infor
mation as to methods to be available
tovBuch cities and individuals as would
be Interested In promoting homo owner
ship. Anyone Interested in securing this
'Information should write directly to'the
division of public works and construction
development, in the department of labor,
Washington. D. C.
IThe own-your-home bureau In the
division of public work and construc
tion development-will serve as an ad
visory board to the managements of
these local campaigns, where requested,
and will extend the fullest cooperation
to every city in the country which un
dertakes a campaign. Briefly, the cam
paign plan contemplates a general com
mittee made up of civic and Industrial
leaders, with someone whose standing In
the community justifies his selection, as
the chief executive official.
( Work of Committees , J ., ..
. I Under this general committee asm
such sub-committees as have been found
essential. The manual suggests the pru
dence of having vigorous committees
' tn finance, publicity and campaign
methods, mercantile institutions, public
service corporations, education, religious
activities, industrial workers and- labor
unions,, hotels and -restaurants, exhibits
an'd management of headquarters, wo-
f men's clubs, speakers and . meetings,
poster contests, civic bodies, theaters and
: amusements, transportation and automo
belles, industrial plants, music, printing
and supplies and donations. The func
tion of each committee is explained- in
detail in the department's manual, to
gether with suggestions on handling
specific problems twhich invariably de-
rvelop in the own-your-own-home cam
paign. ,- . -!v;-
: In the department of labor's plan of
(campaign the women, , churches and labor-
organizations--play an important
part.' The entire campaign is pitched
-on a civic betterment plane rather than
on a- purely commercial basis and the
"appeal is more on the line of what each
."business group - can put "In," rather
than what It can get "out" of the move
, ment . It Is a 100 per cent greater city
movement, having in mind only the In
calculable permanent benefits to the
"community and the immediate helpful
ness to the nation during the transition
from war mobilization to peace produc
tion. The department jof labor empha
sizes these benefits which may be ex
pected from the own-your-home move
ment. -;-
Benefits Are Varied v . .
The movement will provide better liv
ing conditions, increase efficiency, " en
courage thrift, give greater comfort and
happiness and create individual reserves
: 'for , misfortune and old age. . Every
house owner with his family, whether
rich, poor or well-to-do. becomes thereby
a better cltlsen, with increased self
respect, independence and responsibility
to the city . and nation, and more
vitally interested in the welfare and
prosperity of both. During the read
justment period such a movement has
tens the return of normal conditions ;
1 results in much needed construction for
home and Industrial purposes; provides
work for. returning soldiers and sailors

This little colonial house of the gam
brel roof type was designed by Sutton
& Whitney. The accompanying plans
Bhow four rooms, a living room and
kitchen on the first floor and- two bed
rooms and a bath on the second floor.
The kitchen is well supplied with cup

Church Building
At Klamath Falls
Klamath Falls. April 12. The congre
gation of the First. Presbyterian church
of this city will soon build a new church
home costing in the aggregate; between
$16,000 and $20,000. They have sold their
present site with manse and old church
building, and have purchased another lot
more centrally located here. The new
building will be of brick, 65 feet square,
probably, although the plans are not yet
complete; and will be strictly modern
and up to date in every respect. The
rector. Rev. E. . P. Lawrence, formerly
pastor T; of : Kenilworth Presbyterian
church in Portland, : has Worked inde
fatigably for the ' new building since jie
came here 18 months ago. The congre
gation has planned on' several different
occasions in the past to build, but hays
always been prevented by some cause or
other. Work on the new? building will
be started within 30 days, it is thought.
and for labor changing from war to
peace industries; stimulates all .lines of
business in , each community,, creates
general prosperity.
The fact that all these are patriotic
In purpose does not eliminate the cer
tainty of their being materially profit
able to the local communities, and. In
the long run, the community which
makes it-easiest to build and cheapest
to build will reap the greatest material
benefits. Not only has the department
of labor set out in detail the plan fori a
successful own-your-home campaign, but
it is preparing publicity matter , which
is to be placed at the disposal of the
local committees and will, where com
munities can show such action is neces
sary to the inauguration of the cam
paign, send an expert to assist in or
ganising and getting the movement un
der way. I
The own-your-home movement, as out
lined by the department of labor, was
one of the propositions submitted to the
recent conference of governors and
mayors in Washington, where it met
with enthusiastic encouragement and
support, many of the mayors - and gov
ernors expressing the determination to
return to their districts and interest
themselves In getting' such campaigns
under way. . !
