FILA Insured Mortgage
Plan Available To
Potential Homeowners

Under wartime conditions, when new
nome construction has been sharply chr
tailed by material shortages and wbe,
war housing is necessarily reserved TO
occupancy by the most essential wal
workers, the maintenance of a sound
financing system for older home prop
critics has become increasingly import.
ant, W. 7. Pate, State Director of the
Federal Housing Administration, said
today,
For most Durant families who find
1t necessary to move into new quarters
during wartime, existing homes repre-
sent the only supply of housing that
will be available for the duration of
the war, he pointed out. In such cases,
i families desire to purchase houses,
The FILA insured mortgage plan offers
a sound, protected financing method
With many protective safeguards for the
buyer.
Under the FILA plan, the mortgage
debt on the home is steadily reduced
by equal monthly payments, which also
include interest (limited to "A maximum
of AZ per cent on reducing balances)
and the FLA mortgage insurance pre-
MUM of one-half of l per cent. These
payments also include amounts suffi-
cient to accrue real estate taxes and
hazard insurance premiums in advance,
thereby protecting home owners against
default on these important items.
Under the FILA plan, existing homes
which meet FILA minimum standards as
to physical s%oundness and location are
eligible for insured mortgages covering
up to so per cent of the FILA valuation
of the property and may run for as Ions
as 20 years. Mr.. Pate pointed out that
ON such a loan, the monthly payment
per $1,000 for principal and interest and
FLA mortgage insurance amounts t.
1918, based on a maximum twenty yeaI
loan. To compute the total monthly pay.
ment, he said, it is only necessary t.
add 1fl2 of the annual taxes and lil2
of the annual fire and other hazard in,
surance premium.
Those who wish to ~refiuance the loar
on their present homes or to buy a home
on the FILA long time insured loan plar
should contact local lending institution,
requesting an FLA loan, or write tn,
Jackson office for information.

Two Million New Cuses
Gonorrheu Per Yeor

Gonorrhea is a disease separate and
distinct from syphilis, but. like syphilis,
is transmitted chiefly through sex re-
lations. Estimated to be at least four
times as prevalent as syphilis, gonor-
rhea has an incidence in this country
OF about 1000, 600 new cases each year.
principally among young men and WON
en-.
Gonorrhea is the cause of much blind
ness, and if allowed to 20 unchecked
often results in other forms of m
emit damage. Sterility and arthritis
are complications frequently caused by
the spread of gonorrhea infection in
the body.
Delay between exposure and treat
ment lessons the chance of speedy re-
covery from a disease that can cripple
It's victims for life. With early, effec-
tive treatment gonorrhea can be cured.

THROUGH
HAZE
EYES
BY z BRANNON
A PRAYER

Dear Lord
Lest I continue
MY compliment way,
Help me to remember
Somewhere out there
A man died for me today.
Al long a. there be war.
then must
Ask and answer:
An I worth dying fort
The above lines, author unknown, ex-
press our thoughts regarding those oys
fighting and dying in France, Italy ano
the Pacific war zones today. As we DO"
our heads in prayer for their DIVINE
guidance we feel so unworthy OF tne'r
sacrifice.
Those men and boys did not ask 70
a.. b,t many of them will. And
avery American soldier will give a gooo
account Of himself.
II we ms a nation do not experience
a rebirth of ideals and principles upon
which we were founded then thelr
blood will have been shed in vain We
need to get back to those principles To-
dav. more than anything else . per-
sonal integrity, independence, truthiu'-
ness. thrift, trust in God and our iei-
,owman. We have become too cynical
too blase and worldly for our own GOOD.
Only as we recover those principles
individually and collectively as a natioh
will our future loom bright.
Fred Smith, Ripley attorney, deliver
ed the keynote address at the Demo-
cratic convention in Jackson last week.
He made a masterful defense Of states
rights and constitutional government.
Eloquently he pointed out existing
threats in America today to human
liberty and individual rights. Plainly
and concisely he defined the errors OF
a government gone bureaucratic. NO
reference whatever did he make to the
president. In fact if Mr.. Roosevelt's
name was called throughout the con-
yention we did not hear 1t.
The action Of our state convention III
demanding the preservation oil states
rights, enactment of certain planks IN
the national party platform, and res
toration of the two-thirds rule in con-
~yention procedure, may be taken as a
declaration of war on the home front
war against an administration that
has no conscience about matters AFFECT
ing our section of the country when
those matters may offend politically
minority pressure groups in the north
The success of this war on the home
front is as vital in its way as the sue
cess of our boys on the battlefront.
What will it profit them to liberate the
peoples Of Europe and Asia If they
come home to find their own liberties
gone?

CARD OF THANKS

The Red Cross wishes to thank
all those who have worked SO
faithfully in the surgical dress
ing department. Especially the
faithful supervisors and those
who have given many hours a
week to the work. The record is
something that fills us with
pride.
There will be no need to make
surgical dressings again until
the first of the year, so the
folding rooms of the surgical
dressings department will be
turned into a cutting room.
Here the helpers will be able to
cut while they are seated if
they wish. We are asking all
who possibly can to rally to the
cutting program and to help if
possible with the sewing.
