Ground Broken for Dwellings Milton Kauff man has announced that ground has been broken for 600 popular-priced homes In El Camino Manor, in commodate more than 100 automobiles. Space has been provided for California landscaping on three sides of the building. Freight and rail shipment are made convenient as result of the building haying its own railroad spur as well as the close proximity of the airport.

11 11 Ilia the Gardena-Hawthorne area reportedly one of the largest -communities of homes to be This region has been a bright light indeed in. the somber national building picture of the last six months or so. That's the pleasant view suggested by the following statement by President William P. Atkinson of the National Association of Home Builders here a few days ago: "The home buyers of this region are very fortunate in that the home builders here made such financial arrangements in time as have enabled them to continue brisk building activity as this year has advanced." He warned that this area, however, would begin to feel the Impact of Regulation by the middle of this summer. And that might bring considerable reduction in production of new dwellings, as already has been the case in so many other parts of the nation.

That doesn't mean the building industry is passively accepting any and all regulation wallops. On the contrary, it and its various affiliated businesses are right out in the front rank battling to bring clarifying of the nationwide curb situation and opening of the way to new building activity where national welfare demands it. Certainly this region is on of the foremost of such places. President Atkinson, who of course keeps a close finger on the national bujlding pulse, told us there is "a strong demand in most American cities for homes a demand that could use 1,000,000 new homes annually for the next few years at least." The mortgage-money situation and the building regulations will decrease the supply of new homes to far short of demand later in the year, he pointed out. That's what they'll do if continued.

No one can foresee what the trend of the national emer-. gency will be, but there is some optimistic feeling that a favorable readjustment of the mortgage market and the regulations will be brought about. An encouraging fact is that the annual Home Show here, opening next Thursday and continuing to June 2 at the Pan-Pacific Auditorium, again will be an event of wide importance for all Southern California. It will be the sixth such show here again a fascinating presentation of home building and equipment. Also of deep interest is the announcement of plans made for National Home Week observance from coast to coast Sept.

9-15 inclusive. That's the time when nationally the building industry and community developers put their products and achievements on parade. Thi3 and other Southland regions provide splendid opportunity to view home developments the year around. Their Home Week participation is mighty impressive. That the Home Show and Home Week, are star events on the 1951 calendar evidences the confidence, ability and invincible spirit of the building Industry and its affiliated industries and businesses.

Their activities stress the fact that the right to supplv, quip, buy and own homes is Inseparable from the American way of life. built since the war for the general public and not restricted to veterans. 7, Your Mart Home for Money!"
