PAGE TwWo Its Rapid Strides Toward Normaley Praises England For Mr. and Mrs. William Pearce have just returned from a several weeks sojourn in England and Scotâ€" land, where they were deeply imâ€" toward the return to normaley. ‘The Pearce‘s, who reside at 48 N. Greenbay romd, were both born in England, but have been United States citizens for the past twentyâ€" nine years. Expressing their views on their recent trip, they said: Wlndlnglud.wuwu‘ every hand evidences of prosperity by her building projects. Whereevâ€" er we traveled, north, south, east or west, we saw workmen‘s houses being erected near industries. In Dagenham, near the Ford factory, 6500 of these municipal houses have been put up. These shouses .are subsidized by governmental aid, covering a period of from 14 to 16 years. They have 4, 5 or 6 rooms, are modern and well built with from 75 to 100 feet of garden. They rent for 12 to 14 pounds ($60 to $120) per annum. "The face of London and its subâ€" urbs are being completely changed. Wherever you go private houses are being erected for sale, and a large number of stream lined flats which are rented even before completion. Large estates throughout . the country are being broken up, many of them having been hunting Lounds for centuries. "Most of our traveling was done by auto and comches.

The roads however are being widened all over the country. "There are of course distressed areas and unemployment especially among the boys and girls leaving school, but there is a very good government ‘ruling that if : these young people can not find work, they must go back to school. "We feel sure that England is righting this subnormal condition, and the general expression of the people is that she is fast regaining normaley." Rubbish Fire At Reliable Laundry Endangers Naphtha A rubbish fire, presumably startâ€" ed by children outside a window at the Reliable Laundry late Monday afternoon, barely escaped being a disastrous one. Had the 150 galâ€" lons of naphtha stored just inside the window become ignited, it is hard to say what might have hapâ€" pened. . Fortunately the conflagraâ€" tion was discovered and the launâ€" dry sprinkling system put into servâ€" ice. Both Highland Park and Raâ€" vinia departments responded to the call. A backfire of a carburetor on a 1933 model Ford, owned by L. A. Simon of 41 Windsor road, caused the local fire department to answer a second call Monday evening.
