reasons also help to explain the

building material lines now are

All Items Scarce
Lumber, except for the finished
products, has not been very high
on the list of critical materials
here, it is indicated. Overshadow
ing it are practically all other
items needed for building, includ
ing cement, plumbing fixtures,
glass, nails, plaster and rock lath.
Contractors have been forced to
turn down applications of many
would-be home-builders because
these materials are not to be had.
Commercial building is hitting
snags in obtaining reinforcement
iron and steel sash, required by
the building code.
One builder said that the only
way to obtain tne ditticult ma
terials is by a never-ceasing hunt,
possible on individual projects,
but prohibitive for contractors
with a large number of jobs on
hand. When obtainable, these
items usually are in small lots
only, probably enough for just one
house. Many builders are turning
to boards for batting for siding
and using plywood for exteriors.
Little Hope Seen
Very little hope is held out for
immediate easing of the situation.
More and more housing projects
are being held up at a time when
need never has been so great. The
demand has been building up
since as far back as 1929.
The vicious circle is completed
In this area, where the housing
shortage is keeping out the work
ers needed for production of
building materials. Particularly
hard-hit are the veterans, for
whom the government building
program is supposed to be aimed.
Many veterans trying to build
their own homes are finding it
necessary to scour the country
side for everything from the
ground up, and innumerable
houses are sitting uncompleted be
cause of some small item.

Young Girl
Fire Heroine
Twelve - year - old Darlene
Owens, ertically burned by ex
ploding coal-oil, braved the
searing pain to rescue two small
children from a burning home
destroyed Tuesday night.
Darlene was employed at the
home of Loren E. Foote, Rt S,
Junction City, to look after the
two children while their mother
worked In the bean fields. At 8
p.m. the girl was starting
kitchen fire with coal-oil when
It exploded, igniting a box of
matches in her hand and cover
ing her with burning oil.
The girl doused herself with
a nearby bucket of water. Then,
despite severe burns on her
head, arms and body, she ran
around the house to where the
children, one two years old and
the other four months, were
sleeping in a bedroom.
Ira Foote, their grandfather,
reported they would have died
in the fire, which destroyed the
house within a few minutes, if
Darlene had not rescued them.
Neither child was injured but
Darlene is in a Eugene hospital
as an office patient. She re-
ceived first-aid treatment from
a Harrisburg doctor before be
ing brought to Eugene Wednes
day morning. She was reported
badly burned but not in dan
gerous condition.

ject but discussions Tuesday dis
closed to xnem inai 11 i s"
and will require a separate appro
priation.
Study Slay Help
A study will De made on rec
tifying this situation, Morse and
Elisworth said. Elmo Chase, for
mer member of the Willamette
River Basin Commission, suggested
that when the Army Engineers
make a report near the first of the
year on a resurvey of the Willam
ette nroieet. the time will be op
portune to have the Jasper unit
included in tne general project
Ivan Oakes, engineer-analyst for
the commission, also pointed out
that a similar attempt can Be maoe
when the next authorization bill
In considered.
Rep. Ellsworth, ealling the
House appropriations committee a
tight, hard-fisted body, declared
the Oregon delegation was lucky
to get as much in appropriations
as it did obtain lor the Dorena
and Meridian projects.
"If the President wants to cut
expenditures and would first cut
down outlays on obviously un
necessary things at wasrungton,
then we would take reductions on
these dams in good grace," Ells
worth said. "But we don't have
many votes In the West and so we
take a cut. However, I've had no
word that he's cut down anywhere
on unnecessary spending."
Asks Bid Approval
Morse disclosed that on Tues
day he wired Director John Steel-
man of the Office of War Mobil-j
ization and Reconversion, backing!
a position of local flood control j
leaders, urging that Army Engin
eers be authorized to advertise for
bids on the $525,000 Willamette)
River channel improvement pro-J
ject so' that when the moratorium
is over, contracts for the channel
work can be awarded at once. ;
Ellsworth and Sen. Guy Cor-i
don were complimented highly by
Morse for their work on behalf of
the project, while both Ellsworth
and Morse paid tribute to Dod
son for his work on behalf of
Oregon projects. Dodson told the
group the future of the area west
of the Rocky Mountains is de
pendent largely on water "and
we in the Northwest have more
than anybody. The Willamette
Valley project should bring this
area the greatest prosperity any
part of this region has ever had."
Several speakers stressed the
fact that time is the important
factor, and Dorns declared Ilia; in
the next flood the Willamette Riv
er is likely to take a short cut
through Springfield.
Delay Termed Fatal
Dr. A. T. Oberg, chairman of
the Eugene Chamber's flood con
trol committee, warned that on
such projects as the Meridian Dam
it will not be possible to speed up
work later to make up for lost
time, because work must be done
in units and the second cannot
start until the first is completed.
He also called attention to the fact
that 20 miles of Southern Pacific
roadbed must be relocated and
that it will take many months of
settling before the new one can
be used.
"We want to see that when the
moratorium ends, the Dorena and
Meridian projects are in the bald
headed row," he declared.
Others at the gathering included
County Judge Clinton Hurd, Com
missioners Allen Wheeler and
Walter Holland, Carl Robertson of
the Eugene Fruit Growers Assn.,
