Thot Open-End Mortgage Can Be Friend in Need

81 900 can be spread into monthly
payments of $l0.61 at 5 per cent.
If you figure up $31.90 per
month for three years, you'll find
you would pay $148.40 for the
use of $1,000. Spreading it over
10 years at $10.61 per month. you
pay total of $273.20 in interest.
However, If you figure your en-
joyment of a $1,000 improvement
over a period of years worth
$27.32 per year-or little more
than So per month-the interest
charge is offset. Most people seem
to prefer to think in terms of low
monthly payments rather than in
comparatively staggering amounts,
anyway.

Lenders in general are enthusi-
astic about the "open-end" mort
gage idea. When home owners
have their mortgages partly paid
off, the security of the property
is considerably enhanced. The
borrowers have esta blished them
selves as sound risks and open the
way for more investment. Last
year, savings and loan associa-
tions alone advanced $197 million
worth of additional advances on
old mortgages.

This is often too much of a load
on the average family budget.
Consider the finding Of one OBJ
server. He says:
"A typical home owner may al
ready be paying $57 a month on a
$7,100 mortgage. Adding an addi-
tional payment of $31.90 would
bring his monthly payment to
more than $88. This outsize
monthly payment is clearly out
OF the reach Of most home
owners"
Thus" says this student of the
problem. needed property repair
and improvements are neglected
or cut down and the hard-pressed
owner is obliged to settle for the
cheapest materials and the most
inadequate equipment available. !"

The toughest part OF all this
home repair and Improvement
business is that you have to pay
for it.
No matter how badly you need
more rooms for growing family
no matter how urgent a new roof
may be or new heating plant,
if you can't pay for them you have
to borrow the money, pay interest
on it and. eventually. pay it back.
In this day of wonder drugs,
wonder fertilizers and what not,
you'd wonder that somebody
couldn't figure out a wonder home
loan-one that would take the
pain out of the family budget.
Well the experts think they
have. They call it an "open- -end'
or additional advance" mortgage.
Under this scheme, if you live
almost any place outside of Texas,
all you do is to go to the banker
where you have been paying off
your home mortgage, tell him what
Improvement you have in mind
new kitchen equipment, or even
carpets-and he gives you the
wherewithall.
OF course, you still pay, but you
don't feel it SO much.

In the past, many families have
gone into deep water financially
through installment buying and
its heavy carrying charges. This
very thing, which bankers call
"over-extension of short-term
credit" has been blamed by a
Veterans Administration loan
guaranty officer for at least half
of the veterans home foreclosures
in one area.
To help people repair and mod
ernize their homes, Title I Of the
National Housing Act provides for
loans which can be paid off on
the monthly installment basis.
These are popularity called FILA
remodeling or moderniZation
loans. You can find out about
them from your own bank and
you can take three years to pay
them off.
But these are still short-term
credit. Such a loan for $1,000
costs $3.50 per month to pay of
with interest over three years.

THE MONEY, THE
CROWD, SIDE
LIGHTS OF THE
BIG FIGHT

CHICAGO - (ANP) - What
was the actual crowd, and how
much did it pay to see the fight?
This Is a question that may never
be answered publicly.
According to the way the men
were paid - here's the score. A
crowd of 1881 fans paid $685.
458 TO see the brawl. The net
gate was $195, 1875.
Or this net, Robinson received
80 per cent in the sum of $79.631
including 80 percent of the tele-
vision receipts of $4,000. Grail
ano for taking an eight minute
beating picked up $67,192.71 in
Guiding television pay.
Before the above figure was
given day after the fight for
attendance the crowd had been
first announced at 23,785, a new
record for an indoor fight audi
ence- Then an IBC official re-
membering the Chicago Stadium
crowd limit on the basis of the
city fire laws, announced the at
tendance as 1897. This num-
Der, nobody would accept.
Later in the night the atten-
dance figure of 22,264 was issued
by the Illinois Athletic Commits
sion and generally released as, the
official fight crowd.
The accepted indoor record for
attendance to an indoor fight is

MARSH TO GO
GALL OUT
AGAINST CRIME"

John D. Marsh, candidate for
Dade County Solicitor, in a cam
paign talk Saturday promised to
'join with other law enforcement
officers in an about battle
against organized crime" if elect
ed.
Marsh stated, "the Dade Coun-
ty area is looked upon by rack
eteers and gamblers everywhere
as lucrative field for the extern
sion of their activities" and warn
ed that "only constant vigilance on
the part of all law enforcement
officers will prevent them from
extending their operations to
Dade in ever increasing num-
bers." The candidate promised to
develop a hard-hitting office
staff to aid in the fight and again
stressed the Importance Of con-
solidating both the States At
torney's office and the County
Solicitors office to prevent
buck-passing on the part of the
Solicitors office"
The candidate stated that dur
ing the past few years lack of
prosecution of big-time racketeers
and gamblers by the Solicitors
office has been excused on tech
nicalities in indictments returned
by grand juries over which they
had no control. Consolidation of
the two offices should eliminate
any further excuses and place the
responsibility for efficient and
prompt prosecution directly on
the combined office"

duration We would not have any

lation. At least this writer wouldn't
continue to live on the island.
There are 20 many warmer spots
tc the south.
During the recent Norther I
dreamed continually about tine
beautiful coaStwise trip along Gu
ba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic.
and on into sunny Puerto Rico.
Some who read that sentence will
call me a liar because that same
trip is at times exceptionally nasty
with fog and splitting rain. I've
made the voyage in both kinds of
weather but on most days and
nights it is really beautiful.
And sunny Puerto Rico? Is 1t 50
ideal?
Well - as I was saying, was
dreaming Of warmer spots while it
was so cold in Key West. But
Puerto Rico is a wonderful spot
as are many of our friendly coun-
tries to the South. The other day
we talked about Cuba, let's discuss
some of the other places not too
| far away.
PUERTo RICO
When you enter the harb1r at
San Juan there is a rugged MORO
Castle frowning down upon you,
very much the same as going into
Havana. However, the history of
that castle, (really q fort), is much
more vicious than the Cuban pro-
totype. If you have any magma
ton at all, its high escarpmentS,
dark dungeons, and general atmo-
sphere cannot but make you think
of tortures, murders, old fashioned
cannon blazing away at pirates,
etc.
San Juan and Puerto Rico are
more than Moro Castle. They COM
bine the old and the new. They
represent the Latin-American way
of-life that we here in the United
States cannot understand or toll
crate. It is a method of living in
which there Is practically no mid
dle-class.
The squalor Of old San Juan is
pitful. Narrow, dirty streets, fami.
lies crowded together, practically
no sanitary facilities yet the
majority of residents are happy
and extremely friendly to a visi-
tor. New San Juan is as moderniS-
tic as Miami. Here is where your
wealthier people congregate to ex-
tract their money from the poor.
In spite of their palatial homes,
Sumptuous living, and fine clothes,
they are not nearly as friendly nor
as happy.
