10000 Lending Firms
Ready 10 Finance
Postwar Building

More than 10000 private financial
institutions throughout the United
States are ready to help finance
the Nations postwar home build
ing and modernization program with
the aid of Federal Housing Admin
istration insurance SIS materials
and labor become available, RAY
mond M. Foley, FILA commissioner,
said today.
FHA has 80 field offices, including
81 insuring offices, one underwrit-
ing Office, 81 valuation stations and
five service stations scattered
through the 48 States and Alaska,
Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
With the war over and war hous-
ing insurance virtually exhausted,
Mr.. Foley said the FILA is return
ing to its program of home mortgage
insurance under Title II and looks
for an early expansion in all normal
peacetime operations, including
home modernization and repair
loans insured under Title I.
All Types Participate.
Approximately 8,40O institutions
in all States have originated Title
II loans to finance the purchase or
construction of private homes, and
the latest report shows that $500
institutions hold Title II mortgages
In their portfolios.
All types of financial institutions
are participating in the FHA pro-
gram-commercial banks, both ma
tional and State, savings and loan
associations, mortgage companies,
insurance companies, savings banks,
State investing institutions, founda-
tions and others.
These institutions have advanced
more than $500, 900 900 under the
FHA program to aid more than
10000 American families to buy,
build or improve homes. At present,
FILA has authority to insure ap-
proximately $4,000 900 600 of home
financing, and the President has
been empowered by Congress to in
crease this another billion dollars
as soon as the need becomes ap-
parent.
Mr.. Foley pointed out that the
FHA does not itself lend any money,
but insures loans made by private
financial institutions. In insuring
mortgage loans, it aids the lending
institutions and the home buying

Gichner explained. 1.-The productive

Now the girls sit on their own steps and every

Future plans include snow" forts made by
slicing some of the big pipes lengthwise; many
playlogs set at different heights; some narrower
tunnels, just wide enough to wriggle through.

pouring in from interested citizens. One man who

Educators, psychologists and rec

are inexpensive and indestructible,
and give the youngsters plenty of

district. He found the young clients were bored
with the usual playground gadgets. They told
him they preferred lettering along the tops OF
walls and scrambling around unfinished struc-
lures
Moffat's answer was to build, right on the
playground, a ur-foot-high wall of concrete
blocks, with ellis and cross sections that made the
big gadget look like house foundation. He
dubbed it the "Dodger" after Brooklyn's base
ball team, and it is smash hit with the six to
l4-year-ol patrons. They use it as imaginary
hangers, garages, houses; play tag around and

Moffat was sent overseas with the Red Cross,
but his idea caught on. Catharine Lansing, recre-
alton expert, and Jacob John Spoon, landscape
architect - both of the City Housing Authority
- branched out with additional gadgets in an
other Brooklyn housing project at Fort Greene.
They built bigger Dodger, with the wall broken
into different levels. And they added other things
the kids wanted: set of steps called What
not and pipe tunnels. All of these devices are
illustrated on this page. Immediately the Fort

To Face Murphy HI
On Home Gridiron

After romping over the Long
Beach eleven 40 to 6 in the Open
ing season game last Friday, the
Pascagoula Panthers settled down
this week to correcting defects
common to opening games and
smoothing out rough edges. The
first game of this year was play
ed at the home stadium before a
large crowd of enthusiasts.
The Panthers are looking for
a hard-fought game with Muir
ply High school of Mobile to-
night, Friday, also to be played on
strongest and most formidable
the Pascagoula grid. The Muir
ply team looms as one of the
eontenders that the Panthers will
have to face this season and the
local team is out to reverse their
last year loss to the Mobile team.
Coaches Dobie Holden and
Harry Dennis have been putting
the boys through rough and in
tensive practice in order to polish
up the intricate ''T" formation
installed this year and to espec-
tally improve the pass protec-
ton and down field blocking.
One of the largest crowds
ever to see a game here is ex-
pected ttNlight and additional
stands are being erected to take
care of an overflow of Coast
fans.
The band, under the direction
of w. H. Goodwin, will make its
debut for this year having been
unable to perform at the open
ing game due to the fact that in
struments sent away for repairs
had not been returned.
