KEEPING THE CHIN UP

There is deal of satisfaction
to be got out of seeing people
whom life has rolled pretty hard
back on their feet with their
chins up. And a smile on their
faces. We have met several OF
these folk during the past week
and they are a tonic for anyone
who thinks he is having a tough
time.
And all of them will tell you
that the very best has come to
them thru the hard thing they had
tC endure. The reason is that
they accepted the situation and
made the best of it, asking for no
sympathy, and allowing no self
sympathy. They have assumed an
attitude toward what life deals.
1t is the attitude of taking it on
the chin. An attitude that gets
you back on your feet and keeps
you going.

Loan This Week

After more than six years of re-

accepted a title two home build
ing application in Florence under
the Federal Housing Act on a
loan presented by offices of Valley
National Bank.
The loan was granted to Pete
Grubb of Florence for the con-

block home on Butte Avenue.
Arizona banks and other lending
institutions signified their willing
ness many years ago to accept
Title 2, FHA building loans in
Florence while officials of the gov
ernment agency seemed just as
unwilling to recommend the loans.
There have been many Title 1 j.
FHA loans made in Florence but
loans under this title are made
for remodeling purposes only and
do not permit of new construction.
