The National Re-employ ment Service And The National Housing Act The National Housing Act passed by the last Congress and recently signed by the President, is designed primarily to simulate employment in the capital goods industries. This legislation should result in a definite increase in the number of workers re quired by all types of building and construction trades and allied indus tries. The National Reemployment Service a Federal agency operating directly under the U. S. Department of Labor, maintains an office in nearly every county in Nebraska and is organized primarily to serve employers such as will operate under the National Hous ing Act. Nearly 140,000 persons are registered with the Reemployment Service in Nebraska, and of this num ber about 04,004 are still seeking em ployment. A majority of the applicants are listed as having had past experience in the Building and Construction trades so that various local building con cerns and contractors will find a well organized and efficient service at their disposal to serve them in their em ployment needs. The National Reemployment Service will furnish workers to building con tractors and other employers strictly on the basis of their qualifications for the job. Home owners will also find the Reemployment service a valuable agency when they wish to secure qual ified workers such as carpenter, paint ers, paper hangers plumbers, elec tricians, gardners etc. Employers who make use of the facilities offered by the Reemployment Service to carry out the aims of the National Housing Act will be assured of securing local citizens who will spend their pay-checks at home with local merchants. One of the aims of the Housing Act is to make home financing, on reason able terms to the borrower, immedi ately and permanently safe and at tractive for private capital. In areas where local home financing institu tions do not have sufficient funds to meet the need, privately organized mortgage associations will help bring capital funds in where home mortgage money is now scnrce. WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE MOTORIST? Reports indicate that 1934 is seeing more men, women and children killed in automobile accidents than in any previous year. Figures supplied by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters show that for the first six month of this year about 20 per cent more people were killed than in 1933, and the worst driving months are yet to come—September, October and November. In 1933 near ly 31,000 persons were killed. If you add 20 per cent to this number it will amount to 37,200, with more than 1,000,000 persons injured. The econ omic loss will jump into the billions. What is the matter? It is not pos sible that the drivers of the country have ceased to think. They would not admit that they are willing to wipe out or cripple the population of a large city every year. Yet, they do so, and seemingly they don’t care. There must be some kind of a new germ in the air which infects us all. Perhaps it is the speed bug. In any event, it compels us all to dash some where or nowhere in our cars day or night for no pressing reason. Then we come back to the same place in the same hurry. If a man, woman or little child gets in the way, it is just too bad. If another car, or bus, or tree, or stone wall is in the way, that is just a tough break. Our authorities have been liberal in the matter of driving rules and regu lations. On the whole, drivers are legally allowed plenty of speed at all times. But this liberality does not extend to the point where the author ities are willing to have an army of people killed every year. The motor ists of America should realize that the time will come when the author ities—representatives of themselves and their neighbors—will pass strict er regulations and enforce more stringent penalties. If people will not exercise care for themselves, society as a whole must exercise it for them. There appears to be no other way out.
