The Baldwin County Better Hcus-
inc program has created county-wide
interest. People from all sections
have visited the administration office
; n the building on Wayne street next
to the Express Office where Mrs.
Lawson and Sam Edwards are kept
busr compiling records and answer
ing* questions of callers. Business
firms are copying some of these
records in order to contact prospec
tive customers who will be in the
market for paint, building material,
etc. The office is open every day
except Sunday from 9:00 to 2:00.
Many buildings will be repaired
and repainted. As the campaign
progresses indications are that more
than one hundred thousand dollars
will be spent in this county for con-
.■-truction. The four census enumera

The National Housing Act is the
Nation’s challenge to the forses of
depression which have left ip their
wake lagging construction and cap
ital-goods industries.
Explaining the objectives of this
highly important legislation today. J.
A. Home chairman cf the Better
Housing Campaign Committee point
ed out that the prorgam is more
than a plan to revive a single in
dustry. "It is", he said, "a broad
recovery measu-" regarded as one of
the most far-reaching in importance
that has been enacted by Congress
since the National Recovery Act."
"It is a plan to remove the larg
est remaining obstacle in the way
of full recovery” Mr. Home declared,
“cne which is destined to restore
to useful private enterprise the
largest group of workers still un
employed."
"No single man or Industry pro
posed the National HoaBr»r.g Act. It
is the work of a group of leading
business men, among them the heads
of the largest commercial organiza
tions. banks, and insurance com
panies. and representatives of im
portant manufacturing and trading
interests.”
“Early last winter these men be
came concerned with the slow prog
ress toward recovery of certain
basic industries. They found that
whereas consumer goods and made
a substantial come-back since the
bank holiday of 1933. there were
other industries, principally those
dealing in heavy or durable goods,
mat were falling far behind. The
most important of these was the
construction industry." It was found '
that new home building had drop
ped nearly 90 per cent from the 1926-
29 level, and that nearly one-third
of all families then on relief rolls
were families of workers normally
engaged in building. It was to solve
this situation that the National
Housing Act became law.”
Tlie Federal Government, through
the Housing Administration, will in
sure lending agencies against 100 oer
cent of all losses, provided the total
t.f such losses does not exceed 20
per cent of the aggregated amount
cf funds advanced for property Im
provements. This insurance is vir
tually an ironclad guarantee of pro
tection for the financial institutions,
since the highest known loss ratio
on similar types of loans has not ex
ceeded 3 per cent. Experts in this
field have expressed the opinion that
it is hardly conceivable that these
credits, extended by prudent institu
tions. could result in losses greatly
exceeding this previous experience.
The insurance, they agree, is tanta
mount to a complete guarantee for
financial institutions. That is, if a
lending agency acquires notes ag
gregating a total volume of $100.-
000. it will be insured against 100
per cent of loss on all items up to
total aggregate losses of $20,000.
E°sst < of thi s proportion have never
keen approached in America on this
type of business, even in the worst
depression years.
