LOANS
Continued from Page p

Continued from Page p
has often been enormously inter
preted to mean that the Interest
is 5 per cent"
Interest May Vary
This is not, and has never been
the case. The interest can be any
amount that the private financial
institution desires, but no matter
what arbitrary figure is set fol-
the interest, it cannot charge more
for that interest and all other
fees than is represented in the $5
discount per $1O0 borrowed
Actually, this rate is far lower
than has ever been known in fl
nancial history for personal, I'M
secured loans. A good statement
on the inexpensiveness of these
leans comes from Carlisle David
son, staff member of the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers AS
Sociation, who has written:
with the promuIgation by
the Federal Housing Admins
tratiOn of its table of caIcula-
tiOns' of allowed interest
charges for insured mOderniza.
tiOn loans, prepared for the in
formation of financial inSti-
tutiOns, there was heard no
little comment concerning the
rate.
CRITICS ACTIVE
without waiting for Suffi-
cient information critics rushed
into print with the statement
that merely because bankers
were allowed to discount these
loans instead of figuring in
tereSt on diminishing balances,
they were assured of a net re-
turn greater than the per
cent originally contemplated.
"This 0uzz Of criticism, in
stead Of increasing to a roar,
Subsided to a chirp when it
was pointed out that the small
installment loan borrower was
really nothing out Of pocket by
paying his interest in advance.
"Despite all the fuss made
because he received but sos in
exchange for his one-year $1O0
note, and had to begin paying
the loan back in a month,
with continuous monthly pay
mentS at the rate of 1884
each, the fact remains that
he suffers no loss because there
is small likelihood of his find
ing any opportunity to invest
such a sum for a short time
with safety at a return worth
collecting. On the other hand
lenders say that their net in
come, after all the costs of
handling, will not be more
than 4 per cent.
"The chief error lay in COM
pairing these loans with COM
mercial paper or with mortgages
backed by gilt-edged security.
These rates for unsecured, unin-
dOrsed installment loans can
hardly be compared with
charges frequently exacted in
the past from the small bOr-
rover who had no security to
offer other than his good name
and his income.
However, laying aside the
matter of discount versus inter
est. there is no question that
the home owner will save many
a dollar by taking the plunge
quickly. by going ahead without
delay to effect needed repairs
or to treat himself and his
family to such new beauty,
comfort, and convenience in the
home as his desire and status
in life indicate to be necessary
or advisable.
"FOr the cost of effecting
changes now is so low by COM
parisOn with what it is likely to
be in the future that any quib-
bling over a few pennies in in
terest or discount seems almost
irrelevant and immaterial.

Hal Kemp Will
Play Dance Here He re-
Wednesday Night

The appearance of Hal Kemp
and his internationally known or
chestra here on Wednesday even
ing, where they will play for a
dance at the city gymnasium, will
be in the nature of homecoming
for Mr.. Kemp, for it was here that
he started his musical career
which has taken him to the top
of the dance orchestra profession.
Kemp and his orchestra were
always favorites here and a ca
pacity crowd is expected to at
tend the dance on Wednesday
evening. -.
Mr.. Kemp is a native North
Carolinian, and while at the Uni
versity at Chapel Hill he organ
lied his first orchestra. 1t was
during the boom days here that
he first came to Hendersonville
for summer engagement.
He played a highly successful
summer engagement here at the
old Carolina Terrace, and despite
minor set-backs. such as the fire
which destroyed the pavilion and
all his Instruments in the summer
of 1927, he gained fame that took
him that fall to the larger eastern
cities where he added to his al
ready fast growing reputation.
Mr.. Kempt and his orchestra
have since played in all of the
larger cities of the nation, and
have been heard in many radio
broadcasts. A few years ago Mr..
Kemp and his orchestra made a
tour through the south as far west
as Texas. Mr.. Kemp and his or
chestra will play in Charlotte, his
native city, prior to coming to
Hendersonville.
