Tho Supervisor Of Form Purchases
Mr.. T. B. Fatheree, of the Farm Sc
curity Administration was the Ro-
tary Clubs speaker last Friday. He
stressed the fact that at the time,
after World War /, when farms were
daily being sold for debt, Congress
set up the F. S. A. in order to make
credit available to any farmer who
could reasonably prove his will to
make good in ownership of farm
and could not obtain credit else
where. If he could get credit any
where else the F. S. A. wouldn't
take MIN. So, while selected with
care, the man with no credit was
given the benefit of the doubt. The
idea was to make small farm own
ers who would earn more than a
living and gradually pay for homes.
The interest rate was go and the
time was 40 years. Mr.. Fatheree
stated that out of 10000 home loans
400o had already, only 8 years from
the start of the first loan, paid in
full and that few or none were be-

plank. Burr disclosed that the trip
was the elimination of a dream
that had its beginning during his
high school years in Muskogee,
Okla, he said.
The idea of going abroad as an
educational worker struck me in
my teen-age years. AS a result I
shaped my entire educational pro-
gram along lines designed to guide
me into such a field. That ambi-
ton is now being fulfilled. I believe
that the type of boys work 1 am
going to institute will take root
and make some contributor to the
advancement of the people in In
dia".
AS its start, he said, his assign
ment will be to establish a stand
ard YMCA program among boys
of high school age. Once this de-
monstration has proved successful
he will then lower the age level to
include youngsters of elementary
age.

loud that Uncle Mike was the

Anyhow, Roxborough is out and

he can or not depends upon the
rule which is law in some states,

his record, such as gambling,

Selective Service
Registration

Reports received from a num-
Der Of counties in the State indi-
cate that quite a few young men
who r arriving at the age of IS
years are very negligent and dila-
tory in reporting to the Selective
Service System for registration,
Brig. Gen. Guy ~. Henninger,
points out that the Selective Ser
vice Act provides severe penal
ties. both fine and Imprisonment,
for delinquency under the Act.
Failure to register within five days
after arriving at the age Of is
years Is a violation of the Act. The
General said that he did not care
to throw out any threats to pros
pective registrants, but he does
wish 70 caution them that careless
ness and ignorance of the Law are
no excuse. Delays in registration
have a tendency to disrupt the
preparation Of records in the local

PUBLIC WARNED AGAINST
FAKE "Charity" SOLICITORS

The Better Business Bureau is
sues a warning to the unwary
against contributing clothing or
food to unknown solicitors repre-
senting unfamiliar drives. The
Bureau reports that a scheme has
sprung up whereby solicitors ask
housewives to give clothes for the
needy of Europe. The unsuspec-
ting housewife, familiar with the
unhappy plight of many Europ-
can countries, gives all her old
clothing to the solicitor. who has
created the impression that his is
a civic project to clothe the needy
whereas it is really nothing more
or less than the old clothes busin-
ess Promoters of this business
readily admit that collectors are
authorized to pay for the cloth
ing which they receive. Upon OBJ
tanning the clothing, the operator
promptly sells it to a New York
pool and it is then taken abroad
and sold in Europe to everyone
who has money to pay the price.
There is nothing illegal in the sale
of the clothes, but solicitors have
frequently obtained them under
false ~pretenses from the house
wife who thinks she is donating
to charity.
Collectors for these drives usual
ly infer that it is a part Of some
local or nationwide effort to
charity. This should be a warning
to the contributor, because a gen
uine non profit collection is usu-
2lly hieralded with considerable
publicity and it is not solicited
from door to door. Usually COM
plete information is given in a
bona fide drive as to where the
garmests are to be taken. So to be
sure you r really giving your
clothing to a charitable .organi-
alton, if you have any doubts at
all, get free and impartial infor-
