The fact that the guild distributes
slly new clothing is one of its distin-
gushing features.
Many of the persons who receive
clothing from us have never had any,
thing new before" one of the members

it's good to give new garments. And
it's always thrilling to see the pleasure
this causes, particularly among chill
dren"

clears them through the Council of

WHAT ASSETS MUST BE OWNED TO BE
ELIGIBLE FOR A LOAN?
None. The FSA is set up to help the farmer who
needs but cannot buy the things he must have to farm
A rehabilitation loan provides enough money to pur-
chase essential equipment which the farmer needs but
does not own. A farmer who already has his equip
ment free indebtedness could probably borrow from
other and would therefore not be eligible for
a rehabilitation loan.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1938-09-15
WHAT IS MEANT BY A FARM PLAN?

The rehabilitation loan is based entirely on the need
shown in advance plan worked out for the years

down with the FSA supervisor and maps out plan of
work that WILL if carried out retire the payment that
will be due the loan at the end of the crop year and
provide cash living not provided in the loan
The plan provides for best of the soil to provide the
most income possible without depicting the soil de-
pending single crop Supplementary activities such
poultry and livestock production and truck
planned where possible to augment the income.
Every item of expense and income is budgeted to give
