Higgins Plans 'ThermonameF Homes Soon CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-AVAn- drew J. Higgins, best known as a boat builder, is going to build low-cost, quftkly erected houses that, he says, "will be there for ever and are an architect s dream." Higgins, in Chicago to address the National Association of Home Builders tomorrow, told a news conference he was negotiating with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for purchase of the Higgins aircraft plant in New Or leans, where he hopes to begin production of the" nouses within 90 to 100 days. Constructed of a building prod uct termed by Higgins "thermon amel." the houses would have high finish, durable walls, iden tical inside and out, with two porcelain-coated metal layers spaced to any desired "thickness and fill ed with an expanding liquid con crete Which hardens into "ther-mo-con,' a cellular material. This material fills all space between the walls and makes the house, Higgins said, clean, airtight and vermin proof and of class A fire proof construction. The concrete acts as an insula tor and sound proofing materials as well, he added. A house with "thermo-namel" walls, ceiling and roof, filled with "thermo- con," would cost about 20 per cent less to erect than a "cheap frame and plaster, house," and would cost about $2 monthly to heat or cool, he stated.

IS A uGroat Oaks from Uttlo Acorns Grow" AW AT tJF I I O Almost every community in the United States today aspires to be an industrial center. All want industries that provide jobs and pay-rolls and which sell their products to the far flung corners of the nation or the earth, bringing in cash and thus giving our community a "favorable trade balance." Every community including ours has the opportunity to acquire artd develop such industries. This company has long realized that its own opportunities for growth come through the growth of such industries, and we are especially pleased that our area now contains many fine industrial pay-rolls which provide livelihoods for thousands of our customers, and whose taxes and expenditures build our communities into better places .in which to live. All Butinru Start Small But'Chilc we glory in these splendid industries, let us not overlook the Little Industry the shop with one or two or half a, dozen men. For practically every great industry today started from just such humble beginnings. Who can say that, the Little Business with a man or I wo with a lathe or sewing machine or a laboratory will not within a few years become another one of dtir great enterprises. There are a thousand things that Oregon and Oregonians can do as well or better than they can be done elsewhere. We have some handicaps, such as dis- rtoeattt fsysnrisi tmXoj SO awa tmitj. Mifhlil eUy SOS t yan fna saw tance from national markets, but such problems alreadf have been overcome by many Oregon enterprises. Unique Opportunitie lierm But just look at the things we can do better: Where, for instance, is there a better place for textile production, for soft wood products, for line specialty food products, canned, froen, dehydrated or fresh ; where a better setting for fine arts or crafts or for inventing new products or for research or laboratory development or for the skilled professions. These are but a few of the many commercial opportunities in which Oregon abounds. Let us look well to the Little Business. A large number of Little Businesses equals a Big Business, and every ono of them might themselves grow into Big Business within just a few years. We have seen it happen before, and wa will see it happen again. It is through such multiplication and growth that our community will grow evergreater along the pattern lines all of us wish to see realired. PGE's opportunity for future growth inevitably is bound with the economic future of this area. If you prosper, so does PGE. That is why it extends to the manufacturer, to ths farmer, to the merchant, a cordial invitation to consult or advise with members of its trained technical staff on any problem of electrical application. Through lit industrial and engineering service departments PGE offers consultation and adilxor? services tn the application of power to the needs of manufacturers. This service is yours for the asking. PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY A
