Book excerpt: Excerpt from Housing Yearbook 1940 A conservative estimate shows that over two hundred persons not on NAHO's staff contributed to the 1940 Housing Yearbook. Most of them are local officials still performing their responsible duties under considerable pressure and with inadequate staffs. To them go the heartiest thanks of NAHO's officers and staff members and, I am sure, also those of hundreds of NAHO members who see the importance of building up authentic records of the needs, methods, and accomplishments of new enterprises and professions. Several members of NAHO's staff, particularly Edmond H. Hoben, Assistant Director, and Mrs. Alice MacDonald, special editorial assistant, did much more toward the final result than did the Yearbooks nominal editor. Composition and production were again under the capable supervision of the Publications Division of the Public Administration Service, of which Farrell Symons is Chief. The 1940 Yearbook follows very closely the basic outline of last year. Again the special articles have been omitted and the accounts of state and local activity and the directory featured. Even with the wholehearted cooperation of many of our members, which has characterized other NAHO undertakings as well, publishing the Housing Yearbook has been a major undertaking for our relatively limited staff and resources. We are very eager to have, therefore, all comments and criticisms that might enable us to increase the usefulness of these volumes to the Associations members and to others who may consult them.
