 Jammin' Joe Howell and his band of inspired Reds just keep on roll- ing, stacking up victory after vic- tory, until now their win streak has reached the staggering total of 15 straight games. This great record has carried them from ten games in the rear to first place tie within the space of five weeks.
 Mighty Mite of the Reds attack is Johnny Garunio, who has been showing the way for his mates dur ing the amazing streak. However, Johnny hasn't been carrying the team, although sparkling 1t indeed. Every member from Tess Yourchyck down to Anchorman Howell has done his or her part and to single out an individual hero would be un- fair.

Base Home Buying
ON Bud get Income

The Federal Housing Admins
tration plan is ideally suited to
defense industry workers who
are buying their own homes
since the monthly payments re-
quired by the FILA may be syn
chronized with the installments
of the workers income.
The old home financing sys-
tenn, predicated on the theory
that families would be able to
accumulate lump sums Of money
to repay their mortgage indebt-
edness, is entirely out Of line
with modern conditions accord
ing to officials Of the FILA.
Hazardous Plan Replaced
The old short-term high-inter-
est rate renewable mortgage
proved hazardous to home own
ers and mortgage lenders alike,
it was pointed out, while the
FILA plan has made it possible
for families to purchase homes
with small down payments and
to repay their mortgage indebt-
edness over periods running up
to Is years.
Through measures designed by
the FILA to encourage private
lending institutions in making
loans on low-cost homes. the OPP
portunities for families of mod
crate income to have q place of
their own have been broadened
even further.
In 1910, more than half Of the
single-family homes constructed
under the FILA plan were valued
at less than S., 900. This is an in
dication, FILA officials pointed
out, Of the success Of the FILA
program In reaching families Of
modest incomes through sound
and liberal financing terms.

The National Housing Act was
recently amended by the addi-
ton of Title vi which is designed
to encourage an additional vol
ume Of low-cost home construc-
ton by private capital In areas
where defense activity has Gre
ated an urgent need for addition
al housing.
Under Title vi, II the buyer
lacks funds to make the entire
10 percent minimum down pay
ment at the time Of purchase,
the builder remains obligated on
the mortgage until the buyer
accumulates the necessary equity
by extra payments. Title vi also
provides for more rapid amorti-
zation Of the principal of the
mortgage during the first s
years, with the result that
monthly financing costs are re-
duced by one-sixth thereafter.

Minimum Requirement.
Protect Owners

The minimum property stand
ards required for dwellings in
surable under the FILA program
are designed to provide assur-
ance that the property on which
the mortgage is executed Is eco
nomically sound, according to
officials of the Federal Housing
Administration.
In d e a ling with long-term
mortgages it is necessary to take
a farsighted view of the ;ecurity
and of the factors which influ-
ence its preservation. The prop
erty must be the ultimate basis
of the security, and its physical
characteristics must be such as
to presume desirability far into
the future.
The standards set up by the
FILA provide for dwellings
which are substantial and dur
able in structure, convenient and
efficient in arrangement, attrac-
tive in appearance, and appro-
pirate in eighborhood setting.
They are carefully considered
in relation to visible trends in
housing development so as to
offer protection not only against
undue physical deterioration but
also against the obsolescence
which may be threatened by
prospective changes in habits of
living.
The FILA also requires that
these dwellings be located only
in neighborhoods which possess,
in considerable degree, security
from those disintegrating influ-
ences which are more certain
than defects in the buildings
themselves to destroy property
values.
