NEW NIGHT ENTERTAINMENTS
AND 4 DAYS RACING FOR FAIR
T0RNAD0ES RIP LIMA

London residents, who viewed
the overcast skies with little con-
cern Wednesday evening just be-
fore the rain, little realized what
the storm was doing elsewhere

ished a new $165 900 drive in

the air and also the police radio.
Clocks at Van Vert stopped at
Ais p. m, EST and at Lima 4:50
p. M, EST.
The church destroyed in the
blast was the Bethel Methodist
Episcopal. 1t was completely
leveled. A man living near the
church in Van Vert rural area
was reported saying he saw the
tornado strike at least four farms
in few minutes, and that it
looked like a funnel coming down
the road.
He said the wind lifted the
church four trees lengths high
in the air and tore it to pieces in
a continuous whirl.
Most of the persons injured at
Lima were hit by flying glass and
other debris. None was said to
be seriously hurt early reports
indicated. The tornado cut a swath
about eight blocks wide.
The Red Cross set up emer-
gency shelters but most of the

Federal Housing
Takes Fourfo|d
Action On Loans


Kerl w. Kumler, District Direc-
tor of the Columbus Insuring Of
fie of the Federal Housing Admin
istration,. has taken action in ac-
cordance. with the policy of the
President of the United States to
conserve. building materials which
may be needed for national de-
tense purposes and to curb infla-
tion. f'
The action taken by the Federal
Housing Administration, effective
today, is four-fold:
1. Construction cost figures used
in the FHA office for estimate of
costs, were frozen as of July 1,
1850. This means that regardless
of the amount of insurance in
construction costs of property F'HA
costs in future will not be above
that as computed on July ], 1850.
2. Eligibility provisions Under all
mortgage insurance plans are
amended by reducing the ratios of
loans to value by SCI. This means
that the 95% loan to owner oc-
cupant is reduced to 90R the
85R loan to build is reduced to
801s, and the 8OR loan available
on existing properties is reduced
to 75Rs.
8. The top mortgage loan on
single-family dwellings is reduced
from $4,000 to $4,000.
All three of the actions are ef-
fectiye on applications received in
the FILA office on and after July
19, 1850.
The fourth action in connection
with Property Improvement Loans
under Title I of the National
Housing Act requires a cash down
payment. of at least 1917. This
action will be effective with re-
spect to all applications executed
on or after August l, 1850.
Mr.. Kumler stated that the
action taken by the Federal Hous-
ing Administration will substan-
TALLY reduce the number of mort
gagors who can qualify for an
FILA insured mortgage loan by
reason of the increase in the am
ount of down payment required.
