EXPERT IS FOR
BETTER HOMES

Naturally, the matter uf home
building. home repair and home re-
Mobilization has its place In any
Happy Kitchen event, says Mrs
Beulah Mackey Yates. who will con-
duct the Seventh Annual Browns
vile Herald Happy Kitchen. start
ing on Tuesday afternoon OF this
week.
And again most naturally any Or
~ganization which has for its pur-
pose the improvement Of living con-
ditions has the unqualified endorse
ment OF the Happy Kitchen and OF
Mrs. Yates personally. she states.
Home comfort centers around con-
venient arrangements Of the kitchen
and adequate kitchen facilities, al
Of which may be made possible by
taking advantage OF the loan feature
OF the Brownsville Savings and Loan
association or by using the facilities
offered through the various work
ings Of the Federal Housing Admin
iStratiOn.
With the depression definitely on
the way out, II Is time that people
began TO live and to live comfort
ably, paying more and more atten-
ton to the conveniences and pleas
ures Of life. says Mrs. Yates, and all
OF these are made possible through
the Brownsville Federal Savings and
Loan association DR. through Federal
Housing administration loans which
may be made through al Browns
Vile material men
The Happy Kitchen thoroughly
endorses every phase Of the activity
which has for its purpose the en-
couragement Of better homes" Mrs.
Yates states.

of G. c. Henderson, Ben Proctor and
Colgin.
Two facts stand out as important
In organization OF the association.
The first is safety TO the investor.
All accounts Of the association,
whether cash SUBSCRIPTIONS or mon
ey paid under the savings plan, are
guaranteed by the federal govern
ment up TO 5000 per person. No
limit Is placed on the number OF
persons in one family who may
nave accounts OF up TO 5000 guar
anteed by the government, so that
it is possible for a family 70 have
as high as $4,000 or more guaran-
teed by the government.
The second important fact Is
that, through this association, So Is
available, through the Federal Home
Loan organization, for every 81
subscribed for building new homes
in Brownsville. Thus, since the
Brownsville association has a cash
stock subscription OF more than
$1,000, the government viii put UP
a total of more than $4,000, max
ing more than $4,000 available. In
addition, through monthly savings
payments, the government will make
addition funds available for use
by the Brownsville association. For
example, If monthly savings pay
mentS total $500, the government
will make available $500 per
month.
The association Is a local, mutual
thrift and home financing lnsr-u-
ton, chartered by the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board. Savings are :
vested in its shares by people OF
both large and small means. Inc
United States treasury also Is pow
cred TO purchase its shares. Sucn
invested funds then are loaned oy
The association TO home owners OF
sound credit standing In the COM
munity, secured by first mortgages
on their homes.
The association makes possible q
home OF ones own, PAID ior In
convenient monthly sums while the
buyer is living in 1t, with q loan
that never falls due" because II i
gradually paid off in installments.
IL also makes possible extensive
remodeling and improvements on
the home already owned. And the
association provides a safer n
less expensive mortgage loan.
