"OWN A HOME"
('amllaign of Education to Show
IFolly of Rtenting
With more than 100 New Orleans
business men and tirms financially
supporting the enterprise, "Own A
iome'" has been given a whilrwind
Istart, and hundreds of persons have
been given new starts in life through
the message. "Make New Orleans A
City of Homes."
The New Orleans campaign, one
of the very few in which the public
has not been asked to contribute
and which is for the civic and in
(dividaul benefit of everyone, is part
of a national movement.
With wages of workers at the
highest mark, with the subject of
"Own A Home" before every Or
leanian as a result of the big public
ity and advertising campaign, the
campaign leaders believe great and
lasting good will result for the city.
The campaign. purely educational,
is to show Orleanians and any others
the advantages of owning their own
home: the folly of renting, and how
easy it is to become independent of
landlords.
New Orleans is just now striking
hard blows for commercial success,
particularly through the industrial
canal project, and the housing prob
lem will be difficult when the canal
is realized.
An interesting table of rent fig
ures has been compiled by the "Own
A Home" leaders, showing how
much rent amounts to over a given
period of years with interest at an
average rate:
Per 10 15 20 25

The literature on the campaign is
being distributed without cost or ob
ligation from the campaign head
quarters. 413 Carondelet street.
Committees from the Real Estate
Board, the Homesteads League,
Furniture Men's Association and
Contractors' and Dealers' Exchange
direct the campaign. The joint com
mittee, now complete, follows: Mey

LETTERS FROM THE PIOPLE.
El Paso, Tex., March 14 1918.
Editor Herald:
Dear Sir-Will you please publish
the following?
Your March 14 issue reached me
here in Texas today. Under the
heading of "Contractor~' Committee
Makes Statement" appears some
news wherein certain men claim that
Charles J Donner might be sattisae
tory as a clerk, but does not, in their
opinion, possess the general qualifi
cations devolving upon the secretary
of the General Contractors' Assoe
ation. Realizing, as I do, the ability
of C J Donner as a secretary, by his
faithful and eelfficient service for four
years and more as secretary of the
Levee Board under Governor L K.
Hall, forces me to take some stock
in Donner's idea of being persecuted.
The fact that Donner served as
secretary of this General Contract
ors' Association from August 1, 1917,
until January 22, 1918, proves be
yond doubt that his services as such
must have apparently been Natistao
tory. If his services were not satm
factory, or if he did not possess the
general qualifications, etc., why was
he given thirty days in which to re
sign? Why was he not diasmsled
immediately?
fro request an employe to reasig
is O. K., but to may his general quaB
feations are such that he cannot pms
form certain duties is to harm him
In landing a position similar to the
one from which his resignation w
requested.
Yours very truly,
T. 0. HATES,
