Train Crash (Continued from Page 1) the anthracite region. Only yesterday hundreds crowded 'round a troop train at the railroad station saying goodbye to the "boys" of the 28th Division, Pennsylvania National Guard. News of the train's wreck near Coshocton, O., this morning, and the reports of 32 killed struck into more homes here than major battles of World War II. Relatives and friends of men aboard the train flooded newspapers and radio stations with telephoned requests for information on casualties. Throughout the city of 76,000 and its network of suburban communities, many of them clustered around the black slag piles that are the surface mark of anthracite mines, the talk everywhere was of the accident. Deep underground hundreds of men digging coal had little or no information about the wreck although sons, brothers and friends of many were involved. The miners had gone underground before the wreck, and only a little news trickled underground to them over the network of mine telephones. A Simpson, Pa., Army sergeant who was aboard the train reported he pulled screaming soldiers through smashed doors and windows. CONGRATULATIONS, NEW HOME OWNERS!

A Simpson, Pa., Army sergeant who was aboard the train reported he pulled screaming soldiers through smashed doors and windows. Sgt. Joseph Warhola, 22, said he was seated in a coach in the middle of the 20-car troop train when "there was a terrific crash." "I was thrown from my seat against a water fountain," he said. "Just as I reached to grab hold of a seat handle, there was a second crash. I was knocked into the aisle." Unhurt, Warhola said he leaped to his feet, grabbed his camera and rushed to the rear of the wrecked train. "The two rear coaches were smashed like tin cans," he said. "The third coach from the rear also was derailed, but it wasn't damaged as severely as the last two. That's where most of the dead and injured were. "The men from the front of the train pulled a lot of the men out of the coaches," Warhola said. "Some of them we couldn't get out. The policemen burned the hinges off doors with acetylene torches to rescue many of the injured." County Crashes (Continued from Page 1) E.

NATIONAL HOMES WI Home Building in Anaheim Pro To Double Previous Year High Building expenditures in Anahaim this year promise to more than double those of the highest year on record, according to figures compiled by Anaheim Building Insspector R. W. Nuboe. As of August 1, 1950, permits were issued by Nyboe for a total of $4,741,686 worth of new construction. Previous high year was 1948 which saw a total of $2,541,594 worth of new building commenced. Monthly building breakdowns indicate that the bulk of the construction is made up of new homes. In August of this year, permits were taken out for 69 new single family dwellings—a proposed total expenditure of $549,150. July of this year, the largest month in Anaheim building history, saw action on plans for 178 new homes in the city; cost—$1,443,550. In May it was 103 new dwellings calculated to run some $705,072. The building this record year began lightly. Early months of 1950 show 40 new dwellings commenced in April; 17 in March; six in February and five in January.

The closest person can come to exact answer is this—it all depends on the time, the place, and situation. THE TIME. At the present time with the ending of rent control, the balance would tip in favor of the dollar expended for home ownership. THE PLACE. This is important because something besides dollars must be invested in a home. Here the family roots take hold, toders and teenagers find the environment which shapes their interactors as well as their futures. THE SITUATION. This means our economic situation, your family situation, and local situations. The advantages of home ownership are often overlooked when swap rentals are available. There is security. Home ownership carries with it the knowledge that, come what may, you have a place to live. And, of course, family happiness. Home ownership brings with it emotional and psychological stability. Pride of ownership is a factor. "A man's home is his castle." Home ownership is steeped in tradition. It is, in a sense, something of the father-to-son heritage of family custom. All this added up shows the conclusion: Sound practical business judgment dictates home ownership in favor of renting at the present time. The building this record year began lightly. Early months of 1950 show 40 new dwellings commenced in April; 17 in March; six in February and five in January. In general the new homes are designed by builders for the members of the moderate income brackets. The majority of the new homes just finished or now under construction figure to sell from six to ten thousand dollars. Floor plans show the dwellings to be predominantly two and three bedroom affairs. Volume builders, employing modern mass construction techniques which result in a lot of new homes in a hurry, are responsible for a major portion of the current building boom. The first of the many Anaheim tracts was launched shortly after the World War II in 1946 when L. P. Nichols put in 30 new homes back of Anaheim high school on West Alberta and West Sycamore streets. In 1948, two groups of houses, considered to be more of the "custom built" variety, got underway. First of the two subdivisions was commenced by Ralph Maas who built 15 $12,000-$20,000 homes on Kenway Drive between February.
