LETTERS TO A SOLDIER O Dear Jack,— Mary was up to.see us yesterday, and told us all her plans for what you and she will do after the war. I suppose the first thing, after you are married, will be to get a home,, of your own. From what I can see, unless there is a change of Government, people who want houses aitei the war will have to have State houses, which would hardly suit you, as you would want to do a lot of the fitting up yourself, and that isn’t permissible with the Stale houses. If you take my tip, you will set out to get a home, of your own, as you get a lot more satisfaction from the work you put into a house and' garden when they arc your own pronerty. If, as seems likely, the National Party is returned to power at the elections on September 25, your problem ought to be much simplified, as their policy Provides for a housing plan, in which people who wish to own theii homes, and especially soldiers, will be abundantly catered for. I read in theii policy that in the case of servicemen, no deposit at all will be required, though it is always a good proposition, of course, to put down some soil of a deposit if you can. Even if you go into a Slate house,' the National Party will either rent it to you or sell it to you, as you desire, and a further interesting point, which I hope will be of interest to you and Mary in future years, is that if a man in a State-aided dwelling finds it gets too small for him as his family increases, there will be a transfer system so that he will be able to move into another house without first having to sell the original one. The National Party’s housing plan looks a very good one from every point of view, and should certainly have the strong support of you fellows in the Forces. With the very best wishes. —Dad. —Advt.
