MUCH PROGRESS
MADE BY Home
OWNERS ASSN.
FIFTH ANNIVERSARY FINDS
GREAT PART OF IT'S WORK
HAVING ALREADY BEEN
ACCOMPLISHED
. Especial to The Citizen,

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 13.
With more than 100000 Dor
rowers making satisfactory pay
ments, borrowers who a few
years ago were faced with the al
most certain loss of their homes,
the Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton reaches its fifth anniversary
today with a great part of its
work accomplished.
Looking back to the troubled
days when the Hole granted its
loans, when the average borrow
er was two years delinquinent in
both principal and interest on his
then existing mortgage and far in
arrears in taxes, General Mana
ger Charles A. Jones revealed
records which show three-fourths
of the million harassed persons
who sought aid are on the road to
debt-free home ownership. More
than 100000 others are still being
aided in their struggle, while
more than 10000 already have
paid their loans in full.
The records of those borrow
ers not only brought from Mr.
Jones a tribute to men and wom-
en- who could fight their way
back from the worst depression in
American history, but an endorse
ment of the present housing drive
and IFS. offer of the most liberal
terms to encourage home owner
ship.
1.-THE home owner has been
proved good security, said Mr..
Jones. MANY arguments are be-
ing offered the home buyer to-
day-arguments that he should
take advantage of the best terms
and the lowest interest rates ever
offered. Those arguments are
true. AT the same time, il should
be pointed out that American
home owners have shown they
deserve and can be trusted to car
ry out those liberalized contracts.
The records of the Hole are ade-
quate proof.

CAMERA CLUB
ARRANCES To
MEET TONIGHT
SESSION TO BE CONDUCTED
FOR PURPOSE OF PERFECT.
ING PLANS FOR COMING
EXHIBITION

Tonight in the county court
house at 8 O'Clock members of
the Camera Club will gather for
their regular semi monthly bust
ness meeting. The meeting will
be held in the jury room on the
second floor and for the purpose
of perfecting plans for the COM
ing exhibition to be held by the
club.
Prints will be submitted for
judgment to the jury chosen for
the purpose and the subjects
nominated will be chosen for the
gallery showing on July 2. Since
all the members are interested in
the coming showing it is expected
that the jury will be hard pressed
to select the best pictures from
the many good ones which will
be entered
Each picture that is chosen for
hanging will be attractively mat
ted and titled so as to show the
subject to the best advantage.
Full technical data on the shot
will also be another feature OF
the display. 1t is extremely inn
portant that pictures, or mega
tives, to be submitted, be brought
to the meeting tonight as the
amount of time left for complet-
ing the work of arranging the
many details incident to such ex-
hibitions is limited.
It is also understood, it is said
there is no limit to the type OF
subject matter that may be ex-
hibited. The decision of ,sthe pic
ture jury will be final. There is
a possibility that the picture re-
ceiving the largest number OF
votes at the exhibition may be
printed, along with the picture OF

OLD GLORY HAS WAVED over NATION l6l YEARS

EDROUDLY waving over our ma
ton for 161 years, Old Glory
will celebrate another birthday on
June IA. Our forefathers gloried
in this beloved symbol, which has
been handed down from genera
ton to generation as the priceless
heritage of a liberty-loving peo-
pie.
Born amid the first flames of
Americas fight for freedom, it
has continued to wave through
troublous or tranquil times, and
to lead the way to our nation as
year by year it has marched with
a renewed hope and high re-
solve along the Road of Destiny.
Much of our flags early history
is shrouded in mystery. We know
that flag of thirteen stars and
stripes was adopted by the Con-
tinental Congress on June Ia.
1777, but we do not know posi-
lively by whom it was designed
or where it was first flown. A
popular legend attributes the
making of the first Stars and
Stripes to Betsy Ross, flagmak-
er of Philadelphia.
Flagmaking materials were
scarce in those days and this was
often assevere handicap to those
who wished to display the new
banner. When John Paul Jones
was at Portsmouth, N. H., prepar-
ing to sail abroad on the Ranger,
the young ladies of that seaport
fashioned out of their own and
their mothers gowns beautiful
Star-Spangled Banner which was
flown to the breeze in Ports
mouth harbor on July.4, 1777.
Another flag was fabricated a
few weeks later by the defenders
of Fort Stanwix, N. Y, when an
officer donated his cloak for the
blue field, soldiers gave their
shirts for the write stripes, while
the red stripes were fashioned
from the petticoat of a soldiers
wife. This flag was flown from a
flagstaff, raised on a bastion near
est the enemy on August 3.
These are well-authenticated
accounts of the early, yet prob
ably not the earliest. displays of
our national flag afloat and
ashore. We may smile little at
these primitive efforts at flag
making, yet we cannot forget the
pride and patriotism which in
spired the makers.

fortress of the Old World when
