Make 1t The Eberly Plan
All The Way
Whether Repairs-Renovising-
ModerniSing
1t is an organization of specialists
who perform their various tasks in
conformity with an Organized system,
refined and perfected by 90 years of
experience.
Just as the canvasses of the immortal
artist bear the telltale stamp of his
genius, so you can readily identify the
technique of The Eberly Plan - in
simple repairs, or in the more
elaborate renovizing and intricate task
of undermining.
The Eberly Plan minimizes costs, for
it involves only ONE modest profit. 1t
interlocks, instead of overlapping work;
and focuses to ONE responsibility on
all that is done-OURS.
Speaking of undermining, why not
enjoy full use of your home? Turn the
present "cellar" into an attractive
recreation room. Let us bring you
actual photographs of many Eberly Plan
transformations - "before and after"
pictures.
And anyway, right now, let us send
an Eberly Plan supervisor to check up
on needed repairs. An Eberlyized home
is always a comfortable home.

Washington, ID. C. August II
The number of low-income fami-

munities throughout the country.
Loan contracts to defray 80 per
cent of the development costs
Of these projects now amount to
$472, 745, 900.
Under terms of the new loan

YES-BANKS WANT TO MAKE
LOANS

A short time ago Gurden Ed
wards. Director of the Research
Council of the American Bankers
Association, had an extensive sur
vey made to find out just how in
terested banks are in making
loans. And here. according to the
published report, is what wss
found:
L A very high percentage of
commercial banks are making ac-
tive efforts to stimulate the use
of bank credit by both business
concerns and individuals.
2. They have made liberal adap-
tations of their loaning methods
and policies to meet varied re-
quiremenhs of individuals and bus
mess concerns applying for
credit.
3. The needs of small borrow
ers in the fields of business and
personal finance alike are being
we'll taken ARE of by the CONNER
cial banks.
This shouldn't come ms a sur
prise to anyone who has thought
about banking. Loans are COM
mercial banks main source of
livelihood. They pay the overhead
and the profits, if any. They help
the community to grow. which is
necessary to the growth of the
bank.
No banks want to refuse any
loans, but there is a percentage
of loan applications which must
be refused-because they are un-
sound or unsafe, would endanger
the depositors' savings, and per-
haps be illegal. After all, the BAN
ker doesn't own the money, and
the protection of his depositors,
who do own it, must come first.
But that doesn't obviate the fact
that banks are more than eager
to make sound loans, for any
productive, legal purpose.

Journal Of Education
We would like it to be "in the

the existence Of The Journal OF

University, Washing on, d. c.
When the beginnings of Negro
education are considered, and 1t
is recalled That some persons are
IL
living today who remember the
small beginnings in this field;
and when such valuable cultural
adiunets as this Journal of Ne

it must be remembered that still
we are far from the full enjoy

The Low Down
From Hickory Grove

A coupIa years ago this coun-
try, it figured that the folks were
going a little too far, there in the
Old Sp~endthrift City on the Poto-
mac, so everybody ups and writes
ksis Senator. And brother, it work
ed wonders.
But they are kinda getting in
n rut, down there, and it looks like
they have maybe halfway forgot
ten about the Supreme Court.
We expect our Congressman to
go down there and look out after
our interests and be as smart as
they claimed they were, during
the campaign. But when some OF
sem get so far from home, they
forget who sent them there, and
also whose money they are SPEND
;ng-kinda like a freshman away
from home.
But most Senators and Repre-
extstatives, they understand arith-
smetic, and if they were to get e.
nough postcards telling them to
lay off passing any more laws
and come on home-or else not get
re-elected-they would savvy.
And for the ones who cannot
count any too well, tell them the
melons are ripe, or the sweet corn
is in, or anything-but get them
home. And then, maybe, we can

Although recorded in 1926, the

stars as Leonard Davis and Sid

late Jimmie Harrison, greatest
trombone player in jazz history,
who takes tremendous solos on
both sides. The growl work of

hear. Patricia Norman tries
swinging the Gilbert and Sullivan
tune. SWEET LITTLE BUTTER

Stribling Walk, at the United
States Naval Academy, Annapolis,

statue of Techumseh, known to
the midshipman as the God of
2.5.'
This aristocratic old Indian
Chief was once the f~igurehead of
the U.S.S. DELAWARE. Now the
wooden Indian is referred to as
the guardian of the wooden mid
shipmen who are doubtful as to
whether or not they can make 2.5
in their examinations, a mark that
on the scale of 40 is the minimum
passing mark at the Academy.
Before exams those who are
in dangerous waters often try to
bride TECUMSEH to get the nee
essary 2.5. He hears the prayers
of the ~'unsats' and the plebes.
When the regiment of Midship-
men leave to attend football games
away from the Academy, they
always march past the statue and
when the platoon commanders
give the order Left hand, salute
they shower TECUMSEH with
pennies to ask his aid for a Navy
victory.
The original statue of wood
was badly weathern-worn when
the Class of 1891 came along
and provided a bronze replica
with the brains, heart, arrows
pipe. and tomahawk hermetically
sealed inside along with a Glass OF
