Twenty Needy Boys
And Girls Clothed;
Four Are Adopted

Approximately 20 children have
received clothing during the past
few weeks through the March to
School which has as its aim the
Quitting of needy children SO
that they can attend school.
Although some of these boys
and girls had perhaps a few ar
ticles of clothing and needed only
supplementary articles, most Of
them were in need of complete
outfits, Mrs. Manuella Taylor, in
charge of the drive for the Young
Women's Business club, sponsor
ing agency, said.
Two boys and two girls were
adopted by the VIEW and the
VIEW Auxiliary, respectively, last
week and these organizations will
be responsible for clothing these
four children during the winter.
The outfitting of a child totals
a minimum of $40, members of
the YWBC committee, said. AL
though most of the hardship
cases have been cared for there
are a number of children in the
county who need various articles
of clothing to clothe them suffi-
GENTLY for school. Used clothing,
wearable and clean, is still being
sought by the Jackson County
Welfare Department which is dis
tributing the clothes from the de-
partment office. Cash funds con-
tributed to the March to School
are used to buy articles not avail
able in the used clothes pool.
Needy children are referred to
the YWBC committee by the We'll
fare department which does the
necessary Investigation to estab-
lish true cases. Parents of chill
dren who are not sufficiently
clothed to attend school this win
ter are requested to contact the
Welfare department for aid.

pants during the 30-day prefer

vember lst.

Carry FILA Loan
The Eastlawn houses carry a
Federal Housing Authority loan
commitment of $4,000 and the
Gulfdale houses one of $1,000.
This means that financially re-
sponsible purchasers must pay
the difference between the loan
commitment and the Gales price

the remainder is guaranteed by
the FILA and can be paid in in
stallments ranging up to 20 years.

be for the personal use of the

ans of World War II only, PHA

of during the present 30-day Pc
riod they will be temporarily
withdrawn from the market, MIR,
Johnston said.
He added that under present
federal regulations all PHA
housing must be disposed of by
January LIST. 1850. If this regula-
ton is not changed or extended
and the houses cannot be dis
posed of through sale to individ-
uals, then the only recourse left
would be block sales to invest
ment s~yndicates in which the
projects would be disposed of as
a whole.
More Units Are Sold
Mr.. Johnston also said that
seven two-story temporary build
ings in the Maritime project con-
tanning So dwelling units, and the
remainder of the temporary Be-
lair project containing 264 dwell
ing units had been sold to the
Rochester Atlas Wrecking Co. of

part of this month.

the present time when the re-
mainder of the Maritime project
will be put up for sale. He also
added that no plans have been
made as yet for the disposition
of Carver Village and that the
Grant Circle housing would be
the last to be put on the market,
All of this housing is considered
