GOVERNMENT
HOUSING ACT
GETS STARTED
BY DUANE WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

] WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. = The
government, with a $1,299, ,445 $40
stake in America S homes, set out
virtually to double that investment
today in a billion dollar fix it"
drive.
Today any home owner in the
land can walk into his neighbor-
hood bank and ask for $500 to re-
pair a leaking roof. Because of
the billion-dollar campaign, he
stood a good chance of getting the
money.
! If the owner is a reasonably good
credit risk, the bank will loan the
money at per cent or less. Back
of the home owner stands the gov
ernment guaranteeing the loan up
to 90 per cent. And if the bank
after making the loan needs cash
it may discount the home owner s
note with the government at face
value at the same interest.
James A Moffett, housing ad-
ministrator, hopes that home own
ers will call on the banks for a
billion dollars or more. The goal
of the campaign is re-employment
of 100000 men and new life for
the construction industry, giant
laggard of the recovery drive.
Need for the modernization and
repairs is known thoroughly. Gov
ernment surveys have shown
startling percentage of homes in
bad condition. Every sort of re-
pair is needed The staff Of the
National Emergency Council has
been enlisted to speed up the drive.
Regional directors and field work.
ers will acquaint home owners
and banks of the details of the
plan.
The housing campaign starts
just a little more than a year af-
ter creation of the Home Owners
Loan Corporation which was or
ganized principally to save homes
from foreclosure and release mort
gage assets.
Chairman John H. Fahey of the
HOLC announced today that 431,-
702 loans had Leen made totalling
81 ,299, ,445, $40 (B).

THROUGH A
.omanIs Eyes

BY JEAN NEWTON

THE town of Amarillo, Texas,
= has added a new holiday to the
calendar: "Mother-in-Law's day"l
The slogan of the town on that
day was: "a mother-in-law Is a
mother who has made good" The
mayor Issued a proclamation call
Ing for city-wide observance. The
leading theater gave entertainment,
ana business houses contributed IA
vors and prizes. Awards went to
the Oldest and youngest, the pref
test mo~ther-in-law, and the one
with the greatest number of chill
dren married.
The important question, 1t seems to
me, Is who started 1t. Is Amarillo
a town so distinguished for happy
marriages that the men have band
ed together to honor the mothers
who so brought up their wives to
make them happy? Is 1t with
grateful sons-in-law that the move
ment started for "Mother-in-Law's
day?
Sadly, no. This is how 1t hap
pened: Some of Amarillo's prom
inent matrons, encouraged by Gene
A. Howe, newspaper publisher, have
organized the Mother-in-Law's club
of Texas. The clubs president
says, "a mother-in-law Is one who
has brought up her daughters In
such a way that they want to marry
and make homes, and have enough
appeal that men want to marry
them"
Most Of the mothers-in-law |
know would be a bit embarrassed
/ think, by such a movement on
the part of q woman's club In their
town. Mothers (and therefore
mothers-in-law) are people who do
not have TO advertise. They give
as they do of themselves because
that giving is a part of them. And
there Ia nothing they want out of
life, as a rule, which selling them
selves" could obtain for them.
Mothers are human, Of course,
and 1t warns their hearts to know
that they are appreciated. 1t Is a
great Joy to a mother to know that
she has the affection of her daugh-
husband or her sons wife.
But 1t is the spontaneity Of this
that brings them satisfaction and |
think the rank and file Of mothers
would not be greatly en-.
Unused over a holiday H. their name
sponsored by a woman's club.
