Prefabricated houses which can be set up quickly, and later disassembled, trucked to another site and rebuilt within a single day, are the latest solution offered for defense housing at army camps and in rural areas where munitions plants and other war industries are springing into being. Already the Federal Works Agency has approved purchase of about 10,600 of the portable houses, and plans are made for acquiring more units in the future. The houses are prefabricated of synthetic boards manufactured from old newspapers which are processed chemically and pressed into sturdy boards. In one demonstration a single family dwelling containing two bedrooms was taken apart, hauled 30 miles by truck over country roads and reassembled at the new site, all in less than eight hours.
