Continued from page u

untrue.
"The facts are that the Federal
Housing Administration has in
sured, and The RFC Mortgage
Company, as mortgage, has made
a first mortgage in the amount Of
$815,O00.00 upon the construction
of 214 apartments known as the
Piney Branch Apartments now
nearing completion at the north
east intersection Of Sligo Avenue
(which is Piney Branch Road ex-
tended from the District of Co
lumbia) and Sligo Valley Parkway
one mile east Of Silver Spring.

The RFC Mortgage Company also
placed a $4,000 second mortgage
on these apartment buildings and
the land upon which the buildings
are now being finished was pre-
viously mortgaged to The RFC
Mortgage Company.
"The $4,000 FILA insured
mortgage represents the usual
procedure followed in the half
dozen instances Of the some
$4,000, 100000 of such FILA in
sured first mortgages on similar
apartments in Arlington County,
Va, in Alexandria, Va, and on
the two groups of the Falkland
apartments at 18th Street and the
District Line in Silver Spring,

projects first mortgages totaling

"No difference in procedure has
taken place incident to the mort
gage placed on the Piney Branch
Apartments and the other projects
of which am aware, and / am
advised that well over a billion
dollars Of this type of apartment
construction has already been
erected adjacent to different cities
in the county financed in the same
general manner.
"The building contract for the
Piney Branch Apartments, under
which the Kanawha Housing Cor
poration is the general contractor,
is for face amount of over
$500, 100000 (the undersigned E.
Brooke Lee is not fortunate enough
to be either a stakeholder or Off
Ger or in any way connected with
the Kanawha Housing Corpora
tion), and approximately $50, 100000
in cash further had to be raised
by the owners and posted under
the control of the FILA for carry
ing charges during construction,
which two items exceed in total
amount the $4,000 listed in the
Independent headline as having
been given to Brooke Lee. The
fact is that more than the entire
$830,000. will be paid to the con-
tractor or for other costs of erect

"For this very definite reason
no money was or can be paid to

PASSING FADS
BY ROSE WAGNER

Not so long ago when grand
mother was a girl, the red and
black checkers were very much
the game of the hour. Now
where are most of them but in
the garbage can!
About 1929 a great game for
every hour was Touring, which,
true to it's name, became out
of date with the touring car.
Picking Up Sticks in the par
lor or in the back yard has gone
out of date with bridge and the
gas stove.
Monopolizing the evening
might have been fun a few
years ago but at present listen
ing to Ell Rancho Grande takes
up the evening.
At the beginning of the Chi
nese-Japanese War, during a lax
moment, one Chinaman took
part of the color chart and some
marbles which became known as
Chinese Checkers. This year
they are slowly losing popular
ity. What will take their place?
Just the same as passing
fads in clothes, jewelry, and
games are the aged years which
clear the screen for the new
years to come in.

bb4 Alumni
High School Has Seen
% Years Of Service

The first high school was
held in 1912. This was in the
grade building when it was
half as large as it is now: There
were no graduates until 1916
and then only three. Those
were Lulu Snow MRS. John
Pickard), Sylvia Logan, and
Tom Rowland. ,
In 1919 and 1920 our present
high school building was erect
ed. J. j. Ping, Nils Ottun, Rob-
ert A. Vickers, Thomas q.
Smith, Harry C. Rogers, c. H.
Asbury, and Franklin D. Tan
ner composed the school board.
The superintendent at that
time was S. R. Logan, while
the principal was c. G.. Fry.
1t was a very up and coming
school. Many classes and activi-
ties we're introduced and al
though some of them were
stopped later, they have since
been resumed, such as the phys
zeal education for boys and
girls, and the four-year agri-
culture course.
In the % years of Hardin
high, approximately 664 STU
dents have graduated from its
ranks. The class of "16" was
by far the smallest, with only
three graduates, while the 49,
class was the largest having
had so graduates.

of the "classieSt" members OF
the basketball squad, Bill plays
football and is a creditable box
er.
George Realbird
This is Georges second year
as a member of the Bulldogs
first five. He plays center. One
of the amazing things about
him is the accuracy with which
he can score a one-handed flip
shot. It has been one of the
best crowd pleasers since George
joined the team.
Bill Dillon
Bill has just recently become
a member of the IA" squad,
being elevated to that position
by his creditable play while on
the b" team. But even so, he
has already displayed a fine
ability to play guard. The fans
found that out by his stellor
performance in the Forsyth
game. Bill is only a soph and
should prove to be a valuable
asset in years to come.
Jim williams
This will be Jim's last year
on the team, and he has al
ways been a valuable clutch
player. When the going gets
tough, Just send Jim in, and he
is bound to click for a couple
of his twist shots from the cen
ter position. Besides being a
shot artist, Jim Is the tallest

USE THE

Probably the most indiSpenS-
able of books to a high school
student is the dictionary. With
out it, it would be extremely
difficult to understand many of
the words and terms which we
hear in our conversations and
readings.
The most valuable service it
renders to a student is an OPP
portunity to increase his vOcab-
ulary. One does not realize the
value of a good vocabulary un-
til he finds himself wondering
about the meaning of a certain
word, without which it may be
impossible to understand an en-
tire sentence or even a para
graph.
Words can be compared to an
artists brush, and a person cap
able of using them correctly can
employ them in the expression
of his ideas. to command the re-
spect of his felloWmen just as
the skilled artist uses his brush.
1t is not necessary to be a
genius in order to master the
proper manipulation Of words.
1t is necessary, however, to have
a thorough knowledge and I'M
derstanding of the words which
are used. That is the primary
function of the dictionary-to
provide us with a source of
words from which we may draw
at will.
Constant use of the dictionary
will aid students in their studies
and recitations, and will en-
able them to carry on a more
intelligent and fluent converse
ton in every day life.
However, in order to do the
most service the dictionary
should be employed freely on
every occasion which merits its
use.

Sometimes in trouble take the

To think that someone is, or

Some day, somewhere, worse off,
It's easy enough to be grouchy
When things aren't coming your
way,
But the prize old growl
Is the man who will howl
When everything's going O. K.
