BUILD A BUILDING NOW PE MAY NOT TO BE BEHIND IN MOVEMENT THAT IS GAINING HEADWAY ALL OVER COUNTRY . New Department of Star and Wave Will Aid Residents of City and Country in Carying Out Balding Plans. "Build -a building." That‘s to be the slogan thr sughout the country during the coming spring and summer months. And there‘s a reason, and a good one! No building other than that which /was absolutely necessary has been done during the past year, | Government restrictions, made necessary by the war emergency, practically stopped all construction work. Now these restrictions have been removed and there are mafy reasons why building plans should be revived and carried out as specdiy ms possible. The buildings are needed, their construction will add to the genefal prosperity of the community and, last but not least, the work will provide employment for the soldiers who are now being discharged. Cape May should mot and undoubtedly will not! be behind other communities in this particular, Many residents not only of Cape May but of the surrounding country were planning new homes or other, build ings, or inprovementa on old build~ ings when the war put an end to these activities. Now there is no reason why these plans should not be revived and, as stated above, there are many reasons why they should be carried out, New Home Bullding Department. For the benefit of its many readers who will want to make home plans on another page of this issue. On this page we will publish each week an artical written by Williem A. Radford editor of the American Builder and one of the best known architects and greatest authorities on building: sub jects in the United States. Each of these articals will present . detailed plans and drawings for a home, or, in some cases for barns, poultry ‘houses and other farm buildings. Readers of the Star and Wave will be able to obtain from this department not only ideas but definite plana for any type of building they may have in mind. The Star and Wave wishes, also, to print all news regarding plans and and building operations in Cape May and vicinity, and asks its readers to give information of their own plans or any other of which they may have knowledge. News of this kind is of of general interest and its publication will benefit /the entire | community. Construction work of a useful charac» ter is a boon to the community, It puts money into circulation where it will do the most good-at home. It im« proves labor conditions and brings added prosperity to every resident of the community. Government Behind Movement. The United States government itself is behind this "Build a Eullding" movement. Wiliam B. Wilson, secretary of labor, Seaved a statement recently, calling on individuals as well ms state and municipal authorities to begin at once the building projects that have been stopped to release labor and matterial for war purposes. . Secretary Wilson summed up the situation when he said: "Lack of dwelling accommodations and lack of public conveniences in the way of roads, bridges and public build~ ings are ascrious detriment at this time, when we are anxious to pass through the reajustment period with all affeed.. There is another and equally seriqus side, however, namely that (Continued on Page 8)
