State law requires, lending institutions
are permitted to take q mortgage.
To be insurable, q undermining loan
may be for any amount ranging from
500 to $4,000. It may cover almost
any type of improvement to the prem
ises. including even fences, sidewalks,
grading or digging wells The loans
are not limited to homes, but may
represent work done on stores, fac
tories, garages. farm and other
buildings.
Our total liability on behalf of the
Government is limited to $500, 600, 900,
which means that we may insure up
to 81 o,000,0 600 of modernization
loans.
We have limited the amount Of -in-
terest and other charges to a figure
we'll below rates heretofore charged
for installment credit.
So much for the operation under
Part I of the act.
An entirely different operation will
be required under Parts II and III.

review the maladies to be cured.
Hundreds of thousands Of fore
closures have resulted from transac-
tions where short-term unamortized
first mortgages, with the uncertainties
and expense of frequent renewals, were
combined with second mortgages in
volving exorbitant charges. In many
resulted in unwarranted imitation Of
values. The consequent overlending
brought an inevitable collapse, with
enormous losses to home owners and
lenders alike. Too often the appraised
value of the house was taken as the
sole consideration in making the mort
gage loan, without regard to the bor-
rower's capacity to pay. The result
was thousands of homes held on
shoestring," a constant menace TO the
entire home financing situation.
During the depression we have paid
an appalling price in foreclosures, in
the loss of savings, In the stagnation
of building activity and In unerli-
ployment.
We are today at standstill In
housing. The presence Of thousands
of foreclosed homes on the market
has depressed real estate values far
below normal. Because of this, credit
is seeking to leave rather than enter
the home mortgage field. Because of
this, building is virtually impossible.
Meanwhile, properties depreciate and
values drop even further. To reverse
this trend. to invite capital once more
into the home-mortgage field, to re-
store normal real estate values, to
permit new construction to proceed
again. is the purpose Of the national
housing act.

One important community
problem is that of providing
adequate recreation facilities.
Vigorous play is essential to
growth and development. Exer-
else develops the muscles,
strengthens the heart, improves
the circulation, stimulates the
appetite, promotes good digeS-
ton, and Is conducive to restful
sleep.
On the mental and emotional
side, play Is equally important.
It gives relief from Sedentary
work, furnishes outlets for the
Unborn drives to activity, and
gives satisfaction in successful
accomplishment. Every child
needs to belong" to a play
group, where he can satisfy his
interests and test his abilities.
Warns of Gangs
When children have normal
outlets IN wholesome play, their
attention centerS upon the ap-
pealing things they are doing.
When such outlets are lacking,
"Satan finds mischief for idle
hands to do" # recreation CEN
ters do not provide activity and
entertainment, the streets will
