AUGUST 1W-I BOOM LIKELY A sui'voy cl cfiiiditions in Con- nocticut sliuws that sumo 300,000 thvo'll- iny units shotikl IJL- and bettor homos after the war.

The question is many of the; uwn- ors arc yoiiiic to the- replacing. M'auy homo owners iimlmiljtoilly would like very inucli to remodel or replace their present dwelling but' l-'H'o'e number nf tlioin will probably feel they cannot afford to do so ill existing price levels. they may lie better able to make the desired changes when building materials nre easier to obtain and if construction costs are reduced. But many others, no doubt, will be of the opinion that the old home, poor as it may be, will continue to satisfy them so long as they live. One thing seems certain, however, and that is America is to have the biggest building boom in its history after the war is over.

A large percentage of those who have been making big money during the world conflict are already planning to build or remodel homes when peace comes. They can be depended upon to play an important part in that boom, even though numerous buildings now considered as unsuitable are left'to stand as long us wear and tear of lime and the elements permit them to remain. Here in Xaugnluck there has been much building of homes in late years, It continued up to the time that priorities caused a postponement of all such construction except that on which t'hei-r was permitted. will be resumed as soon as possible after the war. WILL BE MUCH-NEEDED IMPROVEMENT AVI i on the Naugatuck post office was erected in 1917 it was large enough to meet all its requirements.

Since that time, however, the population of our borough lias grown to such an extent that enlargement of the building is absolutely necessary in order to properly handle the increased business which is transacted there daily, It is gratifying to learn that plans have been approved fur a two-story addition to the local post office and that the structure will be enlarged the war. The neu- addition, when completed; will fill a long felt want and will be iippwci- ated by 'Postmaster Frank T. Green, his assistants and I ho publjc in general. SQUIRREL MENACE A sober chronicler of the news is puzzle a little by such a story as came the other day, under the auspices of the dignified Associated Press. squirrels, it appears, have turned belligerent and declared war on the human at, least on the poo- pPe of that region.

The County Health Department vouches for the statement that a girl walking along a road, thinking no harm and bothering nobody, was attacked by a squirrel which, bit her on the ankle and then climbed her dress to bite her on the wrist. And then when she fought it off, and ran to escape the rapacious beast, it chased her for some distance. It does sound a bit squirrel Iy, but you never can tell in these weird and perilous times. By some subtle spread of evil, even once harmless animals may be turning against man and opposing his rule of the earth. They could make a lot of now trouble if they banded together.

It has been hot, but it is hotter under the French and Italian sun, and in the Pacific. BUY another "War Bond. TRUCKS AND BUSES Many people are badly worried the automotive situation. Truck equipment been maintained for military purposes, but there is a serious famine in non-military vehicles and equipment. Some alarmists fear a breakdown of truck and bus transport.

Replacements are hard to get, and thousands of trucks that could still be operated are stripped of important parts. Here is another warning for the utmost care and economy. If DO YOU REMEMBER?
