Private builders blamed for housing gaps says Governor Williams
Governor Williams argues private industry cannot solve the housing problem and supports public housing with taxpayer subsidies. Detroit housing needs rose by 144000 units while private builders delivered about 117000 units, leaving many Detroit families without adequate homes. Michigan home builders counter that hundreds of veteran homes are available with VA backing and favorable terms, urging Congress to raise veteran mortgage rates to match non veteran rates. The debate centers on public versus private roles and whether subsidy programs meet demand.

Woodchuck shooting tips by Ted Kesting and Col Whelen
The piece extols chuck shooting as the premier rifle sport and cites Col Townsend Whelen on gear. It compares 22 Hornet and 22 3000 R2 cartridges for long range accuracy, noting small targets, precise mounts, and steady prone positions. It ends with a sardines in oil analogy.
