PRIORITY SYSTEM
ON VETS' LUMBER
Tl
Plan Simple and Will Work
If Builders Cooperate,
Homebuilders Head Says.
The new priority system to ex
pedite construction of new hous
ing for World War II veterans
was explained to representatives
of builders, building material
dealers, sawmills, bankers and
savings ' and loan associations
from Ashland, Grants Pass and
Medford, at a meeting at the
Jackson county Chamber of
Commerce, Tuesday night.
Frank. Hull told the group
that the Chamber of Commerce
wants new houses and that the
chamber will assist in any plan
that will get results.
Slmmt Presides
The meeting was presided
over by L. C. Simms of Portland,
regional vice president of the
National Association of Home
builders; Folger Johnson of
Portland, state director of FHA,
and Carl Henderson of Eugene,
field representative of the West
ern Retail Lumbermen's associa
tion. Simms told the group, "hous
ing is the No. 1 problem in the
United States today. There is
an immediate demand for 2V's
million homes which will in
crease to between 12 and 17 mil
lion for the next 10 years. Ore
gon needs 10,000 homes this
year. We are going to get the
houses one way or another. If
private industry does not build
them we will get the government
to do It. The government wants
private industry to solve the
housing problem. The plan is
simple and it will work if build
er cooperate."
Johnson Explains
FHA Director Johnson, in ex
plaining what is expected of
builders said, "the government
wants to make it an Inducement
for builders to build and at the
same time hold down the cost of
the home to the veteran. We
believe the Job can be done if
all of us pull together.
"The priority applications and
the procedures have been de
signed to effect speedy and ef
ficient operation in such a man
ner as to assure that findings
are consistent and reasonable,"
Mr, Johnson said. He added
that his office will make every
effort to avoid delay in pro
cessing the application, and
pointed out that this processing
if done by the FHA without re

Simplicity Stressed
Simplicity is stressed in the
entire preference rating system,
in an effort to get maximum
construction of moderate -cost
housing under way as speedily as
possible.
The Civilian Production ad
ministration, through the Na
tional Housing Agency, delegat
ed to the Federal Housing ad
ministration the task of process
ing the HH applicants and issu
ing the new HH preference rat
ings under which it is anticipat
ed that about half of the criti
cally short materials produced in
1946 will be made available for
construction of homes for vet
erans. Materials to which HH priori
ties will apply include common
and face brick, clay sewer pipe,
structural tile, gypsum board,
gypsum lath, cast iron soil pipe
and fittings, cast iron radiation,
bathtubs, lumber and millwork.
The OPA has announced that
additions to or deletions from
this schedule may be made from
time to time.
Priority regulation 33 re
quires that applicants must furn
ish description of the structures
they plan to build and the price
or rental at which they will
make it available to veterans.
The FHA must be satisfied that
the proposed sales price or rent
is reasonably related to the pro
posed accommodation.
The regulation further rp.
quires that applicants must show
iney wm De ready to start con
struction within 90 days and de
monstrate that they have effec
tive control of the land, that
financing Is assured, and that ar
rangements have been made for
local building permits, utility
services, and the like.
Applicants must agree to make
the housing available only to
veterans during the period of
construction and for 30 days
thereafter. In his sales agree
ment, the veteran or other pur
chaser is pledged to the same 30
day waiting period in case of a
re-sale, and the sale must be
made at or below the maximum
sales price originally paid.
Conversion Easy
Conversion of existing struc
tures also is made possible by
the regulation, where If is ch
that increased dwelling units will
result. It also covers construc
tion of dormitories or group
housing for educational Institu
tions for the benefit of veterans.
Housing already under construc
tion may be brought under the
neconversion Housing program
if it meets the standards set in
priorities regulation 33.
These forms are available at
the Chamber of Commerce and
all FHA offices for individual
veterans who want to build their
own nomes, as well as for build
ers who want to erect one or
more buildings for sale or rental
for which veterans will be given
preference.
Carl Henderson pointed out
PLANTATION DISTILLED PtO DUCTS, INC. HILAMLFHiA, Pk.
that the new plan wm not make
more housing construction lum
ber available but it will channel
more of present stocks to the
veteran. Henderson urges every
veteran or builder planning to
build to make application for
rating at once. Many states are
ahead of Oregon in making ap
plications. All applications must
be honored by the manufacturer
in the order in which they are
received.
In a discussion following the
talks it was brought out that the
shortages of critical materials
vary in different localities.
Simms said that his organization
is working to get OPA bottle
necks in materials eliminated.

PLANTATION is the name of a
drink that's now on sale - around

In this one drink youH be mindful
of a myriad drink sensations. Youll
have the impression of a mellow fine
brandy . . . youll recall the smooth

a deep body that's suggestive of
rich whiskey.
It's a wonderful base for smoother

AT CONFERENCE
Recommendations on six as
pects of farm life were read by
committee chairmen as approxi
mately 100 Jackson county farm
ers gathered at the Riverside
USO yesterday for a post-war
planning conference.
Miss Francis Clinton, assistant
home demonstration agent lead
er from Corvallis, spoke on
the farm home and rural life.
The committee reporting on that
subject emphasized the lu's per
cent increase in the county's
rural population and recom
mended that every assitance be
given home Improvement. Mem
bers saw need for extending elec
tricity to all parts of the county
and for more extensive food
education.
Suggested by the horticultural
committee was limited apple in
crease, maintenance of present
pear varieties, careful peach ex
pansion, and operating of hous
ing facilities for permanent
workers. The crops committee
advised growing of eubteranean
clover, and alta fiscue or vetch
on low production lands, use of
larger tracts by the experiment
station, production of small seed
crops and limited acreages of
sugar beet seed and maintenance
of corn production as a stock
feed.
Reduction of herds for better
balance in winter feeding and
grazing was asked by the live
stock committee which pointed
out that more extensive road
grading was needed in the coun
ty. A possible explanation- for
the butter shortage is the dis
crepancy in prices offered for
whole milk and churning cream
according to the dairy commit
tee. The poultry committee rec
ommended Increase in commer
cial chicken flocks but decrease
to stabilize market in turkey
production and contemplated a
good market for hatching eggs.
