THE HOUSING SITUATION
The community newspaper in its
public service role performs many
chamber of commerce functions in
the absence of an active local organi
zation of that type.
One of these functions we’re glad
to perform, but one with which little
success is possible, is that of attempt
ing to give housing leads to prospect
ive Valley newcomers.
Not being a real estate agent and
with no listings but the few weekly

and sale, each day we turn outsiders

away often without a single lead for
possible housing.
The crux of the problem is ob
vious—there just aren’t enough res
idential units available to accomo
date the growing demand. Yet the
expansion of the Valley largely de
pends upon our ability to furnish
housing of some sort to those not in a
position to build a home of their own
immediately.
Valleyites with a little extra cash
stuck away in a moth-eaten sock in
the closet or under the mattress
should investigate the possibilities of
investing in residential income prop
erty to satisfy the greatest housing

from single apartments up to multi
bedroom units for large families.
Typical of housing requests handl
ed by this office is that this week of a
two-bedroom home sought by the new
high school coach and his family, and
another ad placed by Principal Mc
Abee for teacher housing for a one-
child family, two-child family, and a
three-child family, in addition to two
apartments and one board and room.
Housing which can be made avail
able for occupancy in the neac future
should be listed immediately with

Well, What Do You Know?
Do yoa believe in a bunch of old
(ales about lightning — about how
it’s attracted by cats or the warmth
of cattle ... how it never strikes in
the same place tw ice ... or how it’s
liable to turn milk sour? Lots of
people often do—but they're wrong.
Dad Huwkins inspired this col
umn today. He’s really studied up
on lightning since his own cow
barn was struck that time.
"Trouble is, most of us don't
know half enough about the sub
ject ' Dad says. “And about half
of what we do know is false!”

By
From where I sit, Dad's state
ment applies to a lot of things be
sides lightning. Too many people
think they know their neighbor’s
wrong when he votes for his can
didate instead of theirs. Some peo
ple even resent our right to enjoy
a friendly glass of beer if and
when we choose. Opinions based on
misinformation and prejudice, in
stead of being “grounded” on true
facts can cause more damage than
lightning ever did.
