544 * 444 : Let‘s quit playing Alphonse and Gaston with the veterans‘ housing problem, roll up a few sleeves and do a little down-to-caljth hanaling of the situation. In the last.six months I have travâ€" elled and seen the housnig situation from Sydney to Victoria. Iâ€" have talked with Prime Minister King and the laborer who wheels the cement up the planks to the foundations, I have yei. to ftind cne who is not in sympathy with the veterans‘ housing I blame the many municipalities who have refused to coâ€"operate with the government and the veterans boâ€" dies. Maj. General Hugh Young, head of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation told me recentâ€" ly that there are still many munictâ€" palities where they refuse to even accept Wartime houses. This in spite of the offer to veterans of four and six roomed houses for as low as $27 a month. sympathy problem. But sy A short time ago a delegation of veterans from a small Quebec town came to see us stating that they could buy from War Assets a number of abandoned Army huts which were in good condition and they could live in them. We patiently pointed out how the byâ€"law in this case could be circumâ€" vented.. He was adamant and persistâ€" ed in claiming that the byâ€"laws could neither be added to nor changed. Then we realized that the character was just being plain dirty so we got tough and again showed him how the byâ€"law could be changed. Then he arose, sook his fist in the air and shouted. "If this byâ€"law is changed then I will have another one made to offset it." They were having difficulty with the local mayor and his councillors who refused to cooperate. We manâ€" aged to get them all together at Domâ€" inion Command to thrash the matter out. One of the senior councillors, evidently the strong character of the council, and a landowner, explained to us that the veterans could not live in this abandoned army property beâ€" cause it was against their civic byâ€" laws. 8 6A 4 4 %% 1 I blame the contractors and private house builders who absolutely refuse to accept in part any responsibility for remedying the situation. I know of numerous cases whereby the Cenâ€" tral Mortgage people have offered to finance the contractors and then buy the houses back from them allowing them a straight ten per cent profit The party broke up. We are still plugging for these vets, But it‘s a tough piece of meat to digest and you need sharp teeth. The contractors refused, intimating that the ten per cent was only peanuts in comparison to what they could make on the private market. Read the classified ads. in any newspaper and the prices start at eight thousand and work up to twenâ€" tÂ¥ and twentyâ€"five thousand dollars. It just means that a veteran getting reâ€"established hasn‘t chance in Hades of buying one. I blame the manufcturers and maâ€" terial suppliers for encouraging a black market in nails, cement, soil pipe, lumber and other necessary supplies. For not cooperating when in spite of a government order giving veterans priority on materials, the vets just don‘t get them. And yet all over the land expensive houses can now be bought at any time for a price and hundreds of bowling alleys, cinâ€" emas, dance halls are springing up with no scarcity of building supplies. I blame the labor unions for drivâ€" ing up the wage scale and in return not giving an honest day‘s work. Noâ€" body thinks that askilled man ‘should not be paid well for his work. But again the buyer of the house should not be saddled with the burden of having to pay high wages for the work of a man who is entirely unâ€" skilled and never served any apprenâ€" A Veteran‘s View On The Housing Problem P l tA C C C stt ie P P OAAA By DBoug‘as W.

Neither is it deemed wise for a bricklayer to be restricted by his unâ€" ion for the number of bricks he can lay in a day, or a painter to be comâ€" pelled to use only a certain sized brush. I blame the people of Canada who in a free country tolerate these conâ€" ditions, knowing full well that the veterans to whom they owe at least the opportunity to get reâ€"established are suffering. If people would refuse to buy these expensive houses which in many cases puts a mortgage anchor around their necks that they will rue in years to come; if the people who have it in their power to do so by the exâ€" pression of concerted public disapâ€" proval, then I think that in little time the governments, municipalities, manufacturers, supplers, house buildâ€" ers and unions whose very Aving and survival depends on the wishes of WE ©PEOPLE, the â€" situation would be altered in q Put ‘rovinct He car liminin during VERY THURSDAY ovkkarin} number of bricks he can , or a painter to be comâ€" se only a certain sized lces for Erkki Jarven o died in St. Mary: nins, Friday morning conducted in the Chap Funeral Home on Sat ndad. xt 4 o u.m seems â€"a trifle 1 elaborately beac ve become the m of »Indian art.:: n nland the winner sso Champâ€" lass at the Vvears th lut anada f 1 11 Europe Beats Shortage With Crushed Rock European building mi roofs with peat, have â€" according "Right her "most hous Entrees from all parts of Eastern Canada are expected to enter the daily logâ€"sawing contests, sponsored by the Dapartment ~of Labour to teen ten Eastern Canadian Sawing Champions The champion sawers of pulpwood and swaâ€"logs in Eastern Canada will be decided at the Central Canada Exâ€" hibition in Ottawa during the week of August 18â€"23, it was announced toiday by the Dominion Department of Labour. beddt iar 11 the m bed create interest in woods work place each phalt The â€" Championship to be Held In Ottawa at Central Canada Exhibition. winner in pulpwood sawing and the other will decided the fastest twoâ€" man team cutting through 20â€"inch hardwood sawlogs against time with Asphalt roofing material alone is waterproof and will give reasonable protection from the weather.
