already passed by the Senate, Is
being vigorously opposed by the
ABA, which is against the estab-
lishment of the National Housing
Agency on permanent basis.
Extension of the authority of the
Land Bank commissioner to make

strongly in favor of the resolution

The Senate Banking Committee
has reported favorably on the bill
authorizing the Federal Farm Mort
gage Corp. to purchase farm loans
which are guaranteed or insured
under the Servicemen's Readjust-
ment Act, the aim being to create
a secondary market for such loans.
The same committee favors the
Senate bill extending indefinitely
FILA insurance on mortgages on
existing construction and the Senate
resolution extending the life of the
RFC to June 80, 1852 All three bills
are pending in the Senate.
Saturday closing the year around
by banks and building and loan

lied by Senate bill 2307, reported
favorably by the Senate District

 ''Same place; just ask for them. But Pete, as soon as we can ar- range it, the manager is coming tc speak before a meeting of our local. He will bring batch of the leaflets with him and hand them out to the members, so that each of us can take one home for the family to read"

Even experts have been fooled by the fabric-like appearance of the inexpensive paper draperies shown above. Two years of rec search and tests produced the soft, flexible Trimz draperies that look and feel like cloth. The new drap. cries combine beauty and economy, are completely hemmed and head ed, ready to be hung on an ordinary curtain rod. They are adaptable for pleats and can be hung with hooks or sewed-on rings. Dusting with a soft cloth takes care of the cleaning problem and no ironing is necessary. The young housewife, above, Is shortening her draperies, cutting of an inch longer than the desired length. This takes care of the bottom hem, which can be sewn by machine or by hand. Matching tie backs are furnished with the draperies, which come two and half yards long and fifty-eight and a half inches wide.
