New construction financed this
year under the FHA-insured mort
gage program has carried forward
the steady trend toward more and
lower-cost small homes, FHA au-
thorities announced Saturday.
Proof that soundly constructed
new houses are being produced for
American home-oWners at the low
est cost in recent history is afford
ed by the continued decline in the
average amount of mortgage loan
covering new homes constructed un-
der the FILA plan, officials said.
In the 10 months ended October
81, the 1878 new-home mortgages
accepted for insurance by the FILA
under Title II of the National Hous-
ing act averaged $4417 in principal
amount. In 1899, neW-home mort
gage loans accepted for insurance
averaged $4511, as compared with
$4601 in 1888, $4638 in 1887, SAIL
in 1886 and $4824 in 1885.

This is the season when
big time college teams get
that Bowl Look" in their
eyes. Once there was only
Pasadena's Rose Bowl-now
most every section of the
country tries to stir up a
little extra fracas around the
first of the year. The result
is that football players sit
around like Cinderella, wait
ing for someone to invite
them to the ball. There's no
pumpkin to be changed into
a coach, but there is big
melon in the form of gate re-
ceipts to be split up-and
that interests most coaches.
i often wonder why they
don't name one of the games
the Gravy Bowl.
