19—THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE_________________ November 23, I960 Picture Window Becomes Motif of Local Tavern IRONING CAN BE FUN Byron Davis and Frank “Tex” | Blazek have almost completed the re- | designing and re decorating of the rear wall of the Mill City Tavern to open up a view of the North San- tiam river from the tavern. This Mill City Tavern picture win dow is a delightful and restful sight. One can see the Santiam and its greenery framed attractively. Byron and “Tex” are rather proud of their new window. Patrons find It difficult to ignore the beauty of the scene as viewed from this window. This Mill City picture window is much in the nature of the picture window long famous in the western motif hotel in Bend. Some idea of the extent of the reeent activity carried out by the Ladies Aid Society in a bazaar and dinner in the Mehama Woman's clubhouse can be gained from the above picture of (anyon-folk eating, playing and just plain visiting. Some 100 canyon citizens turned out to help along the community church cause.

Mill City Shufflers Take Another Game Out of the W oods By JIM STEVENS Regulation X . . .

He is nationally known in his business as one of the most efficiently mechanized builders of low-cost homes. He is climaxing a 20-year building career by com pleting 800 homes in 1950. He had built 1,200 in the two previous years. Socialism Masked . , . From such experience and knowl- 1 edge Mr. Dudiak states that “no more [than 25 per cent of our buyers can bring in the amount of cash down payment which Regulation X requires —11,000 on a $9,OOOhouse, $1,333 on “SPEED COOKING“ WITH “PUSH-BUTTON“ CONTROLS! a $10,000 house, $1,666 on an $11,000 I house—and so on up the scale. These are down payments required of vet- ! erans. For non-veterans they run [ still higher. Regulation X is a body I blow to building.” That kind of opinion is tremendous ly important to us’, coming from a high authority in one of our great est market areas. From Stephen Dudiak and his home-buying custom ers comes the money for the pay rolls . of the No. 1 industry of Oregon and I Washington, the orders that pay the freight on railroads and ships, the revenue that pays for tree farms and other industry forestry programs, and which goes into taxes, dividends, interest, commissions, purchases of farm products and other supplies. This Regulation X, of course, is the Federal Reserve Board's new credit rule on home buying, which went into effect October 12. The ex cuse for it is “defense needs.” Mr. Dudiak says, “Such a drastic MASTER Painting and Papering Call Bill Obershaw NOW at MILL CITY APPLIANCE STORE Sit down to your ironing and | inches.

The anti cipated needs for lumber, steel and other materials for the defense pro gram have been clearly stated in the national capital. They are so small in comparison with a 60 to 70 per cent cutback in home building that they in no way shape up as a substantial reason for Regulation X.” It is the socialized housing advo cates, the builder charges, who stand to benefit most from Regulation X. “They will soon be presented with a housing shortage and a demand for houses which they can play upon and build up. The effects of this cutback can not help but provide ammunition for the public housing ideologists. It will serve no real purpose in meet ing needs of national defense.” Slugging Labor . . . The Jersey builder demonstrates with convincing detail that Regula tion X is no more needed to divert manpower into national defense in dustries than it is for diversion of materials. Instead, as he shows, de moralization of the home-building in dustry can set up a chain reaction that would reach from Texas, Iowa, California, New England, New Jer sey, all the way back into the timber of our mountains, and then knock out jobs everywhere. The Secretary of Commerce, along with other business authorities, has pointed out that the construction in dustry is the backbone of American enterprise and employment. Home building alone employs over two mil lion carpenters and specialists of the building trades. Millions more are in the manufacture of forest products and other building materials. Nation wide home building is the main source of transportation jobs in the Pacific northwest. Labor will take a two-way beating from Regulation X, as Mr. Dudiak makes the picture. One blow is labor’s right of new home ownership. The other is at labor’s paycheck. Let men laugh, if they will, when you sacrifice desire to duty.—You have time and eternity to rejoice in. —Theodore Parker. What kind of schooling will the na tion have in the next decade to 1960?
