WIDE INTEREST
IN PROGRAM

Widespread and growing inter-
est in the Better Housing program
is shown by the daily barrage of
questions received by letter, wire
and telephone from property
owners in all sections of the
country. chiefly concerning mod
,ernization loans.
According to FHA officials,
taxes are among the chief worries
of the questioners, the most fire.
quent being whether part of a
modernization loan may be used
to pay taxes. The answer to this
is definitely mo-" Every dollar
of every modernization loan must
go directly for payment of re-
pairs, alterations and improve
ments of real property.
A companion question is whether
property owners, delinquent in
their taxes, are eligible for
modernization loans. The answer
is that the matter is left entirely
to the discretion of the bank or
other lending institution, with
the one proviso that no part of
the loan itself must be used to
pay these taxes.
Some inquirers who want to
move their houses are told that
loan for such purpose is eligi-
BILE, although there is a rule
against loans on movable" prop
erty. A house is considered per
manent" in spite of its shift of
base.
Many questions concern nova
BILE property. There are numerous
inquiries concerning loans on
portable overhead irrigation chan
nels. The answer to these ques-
tions is that a portable channel
is not eligible.
Several recent inquiries were
about sound equipment for thea
tres and churches, the answer be-
ing that the wiring for sound
equipment is eligible but that the
actual sound machinery is not.
Oil burners, gas burners, air con-
AAVAO4AAA4S " = AAA . IL " hAGC11C11
ranges and similar equipment are
eligible when built.in.
Some dilemmas are quickly de-
cided and some are rot. One man
who lives in one city and owns
property in another wanted to
know in which city to apply for
his loan. The answer was in
either city.
Another unique problem was
presented by a property owner
whose four sons earned all the in
come for the family. He wanted
to know whether he could get a
modernization loan on the income
of these four sons. The answer
was to take this particular prob
lem to the institution to which
application for the loan would be
made.
In many instances, it was point
ed out, the only way to get final
answer is to apply for a modern
ization loan and let the lending
institution decide. The lending
institution is authorized to make
the loan at it's discretion, within
the liberal regulations made by
FHA, and is never under the least
compulsion to make loan against
its Judgment.

EASY AS PIE
is SOMEWHAT
SHY OF TRUTH
Perfect Pastry Possible
Only With Careful
Preparation.

When a thing is as "easy as pie"
Just how easy is it? Certainly it's
very easy if it refers to the eating
of a good pieI But making that per-
feet pie isn't so simple matter.
However, it isn't so very difficult
either, if you know how. The main
consideration in pie-making is the
crust. If that is f1aky, tender and
delicately Drowned. the pie is sure
to be a success.
The crust may be baked separate
" for cream filings, fresh fruits
and so forth. Or the filling may be
baked with the crust.
The shortening used is very i'm
portant. Lard produces the f1akiest
and tenderest of cruSts and is con-
sidered the ideal shortening for this
purpose. 1t is a soft fat which may
be worked at a wide range Of tenn
perature.
The method Of combining the fat
and the flour has an effect upon the
f1akiness of the crust. The two
should not be over-mixed, that is,

flour and fat stick together when
gently pressed.
The number Of tablespoons which
will be required can not be foretold
exactly since this depends upon the
amount of moisture already in the
-four, the size Of the fat particles
and the temperature.
Be careful not to add any more
than is needed in order that the
do Ugh may be shaped into balls.
The dough may be chilled before
rolling it, though it is not necessary
to do this Use the rolling pin and
board with a very little -four.

the art Of making good pie crust

the fat should be left in bits. Then
when it melts it separates the -four
so that the crust is haky.
The mixing may be done with the
fingers or the fat may be cut in with
knife.
Take a knife in each hand and
cut back and forth between the
knives, in scissors fashion, until the
particles of fat are about the size
Of wheat kernels.
Next the moisture is added, n
very small amounts Sprinkle a
little water over the fat and flour
mixture and toss it with a fork, then
add a little more moisture and con-
tinue cautiously until the dampened

new ENGLAND
DISHES REDUCE
/ COST OF FOOD
Boiled Dinner Makes Use
of Both Meat and
Vegetables.

New England housewives have an
Inheritance Of thrifty. tasty ways Of
preparing food. one Of their dishes,
TO which this section Of the country
has given its name. IS the famous
New England boiled" dinner. The
vegetables are boiled, but the meat
is slmmered. one reason for its
perennial popularity IS that the fla
vor Of the meat is used to enhance
that of the vegetables. Another rea-
son is that a large or small amount
Of meat may be used and variety
Of vegetables may accompany 1t. It
is a convenient, economical as well
as hearty and nutritious dish
Corned beef is the meat used for
a New England boiled dinner.
Vegetables are potatoes. cabbage,
beets. turnips and carrots, with
onions also, # desired.
COrned Beef Suggestions
The meat is put into a kettle and
covered with cold water, which IS
rapidly brought 10 a boiling tenn
perature. Il is then SKINNED, ano
the temperature reduced so that
the meat SINNERS until 1t is tender
Then the meat may be removed
from the kettle and the vegetables
cooked in the water. Or about an
hour before serving time, some or
the liquid may be removed to an
other kettle and the vegetable
boiled in that.
The beets should be cooked Sepa-
rately so that they will not color
the other vegetables.
Fresh pork cooked with vegetables
is another favorite dish with New
England housewives. A fresh pork
butt is used. 1t is simmered for z
hours. One hour before serving
time, place carrots and parsnips, cut
lengthwise, and a red cabbage,
quartered. in the kettle and cook
until tender.
The pork is served in slices in the
center Of a platter with the vegeta-
bles arranged around it.
Pork and Gravy Popular
Fried salt pork and milk gravy is
a popular New England dish. The
salt pork is sliced very thin and par
boiled for five minutes in boiling
water. then fried to a golden brown.
Remove the meat to warm place.
Pour of all the fat except i table
spoon. Sift in l tablespoon flour,
brown and add l cup milk Season
with pepper and salt If needed. Let
the gravy thicken and serve in
gravy dish.
Sliced onions and potatoes cooked
in their jackets are a popular COM
bination with this.
COrned beef hash is another
economical dish which New Eng
and housewives prepare in delicious
fashion. Here is one way of serv-
ing it:
Beef Hash With Peppers
1 cup chopped eorned beef
1 small onion. minced
tablespoons minced parsley
salt and pepper
2ik cups chopped cooked potatoes
tablespoons green peppers, minced
\ cup soup stock
u teaspoon mace
Mix all the ingredients together
thoroughly. Put in a buttered bak-
ing dish and bake for about forty
five minutes in a moderate oven. If
desired the meat mixture may be
baked in green peppers. In that
case, the peppers are not added to
