Blodgett, president of the Na tional Lumber Manufacturers' as sociation, who says that the Unit ed States is the leading honfe-own-ing country of the world. - f ; . These statements are' ' closely related, for' It Is the abundance and suitability' of lumber ' as a structural and finishing material and its cheapness that have made ns a nation of home owner," Mr. Blodgett declares: According to', computations made by the division ' of bnilding and hooslng of the de partment of commerce, the- per centage of lumber built homes in 11 different representative states ranges from 59 te 97' of all dwellings in towns 'with a popula tion of over ,2500.--In the rural" regions, including towns of ' less than 2500 inhabitants,. , lumber built , dwellings constitute about 9S of the whole. V , t "These are facts which should' prompt the prospective home build er to consider carefully, whether a frame house will not be more suit able .to his peculiar requirements, than any other? It is not merely because lumber Is relatively cheap and almost universally obtafnable that it is so freely used In Amer- i lea. It has certain qualities which make it a most desirable material for the varying climatic conditions of this continent. It Is suited to nearly every style of architec ture."

During the first year of the movement, 1922, some 500 communities demonstrated "Bet ter Homes," the following . year about 1000 communities took part, and there are present indications that this number will be surpassed considerably in 1524. This movement, according to President Coolidge. "provides a channel through which men and women in each community can en courage ' thp building, ornament ing and owning of private homes by the people at large. The national organization aims to extend its help to every com munity in the United States, and the rural sections as well. 'This year particular attention is being directed to homes for families of small of moderate means. . In accepting for the second time 'he chairmanship of the Advisory Couneiirthe . President wrote to Mr., Hoover a follows: "I have frequently observed the instructive and inspiring . force which the Better Homes in Amer ica movement is contributing to our national life, and I am more than well pleased with the reor ganization that has just taken place under ybuf direction, by which it has now an Independent and .substantial foundation and I count It a happy obligation to re main chairman of the Advisory Council. "The achievement of Mrs. Wil lam Brown Meloney in managing the movement entitles, her to high est credit- I am glad to know that she will continue asiociation with the work, and the private organ ization that has turned over Its efforts to the new administration has shown a fine spirit., " "The American home Is the foundation of our national and In dividual well being. Its steady improvement Is, at the same time, a test of our . civilization . and of our ideals. The Better Homes in America movement provides a channel through which men and women in each community can en courage the building, ornamenting and' owning of private homes by the people at large. We need at tractive,, worthy, permanent homes that lighten the burden of house keeping. We need homes In which home life can reach its finest lev els, and in which can . be reared happy children and upright citi zens..- . .
