Uncle Sum,'s Aid
Helps to Explain
Housing Progress

The Government is deep in
the housing field.
For example:
The Housing and Home
Finance Agency has loaned
or committed itself to loan
$50 million to local COM
munities for slum clearance,
and can loan a maximum of
a billion.
The same agency has made
capital grants" to local
communicates has agreed
to make them-amounting
to SAT million for aid in slum
clearance. ~ :: has authority
to make such grants totaling
a half billion.
The Federal National
Mortgage Association owns
| $2,241 million in home
mortgages which it has
bought from private lending
| institutions for eventual re-
sale. If the CT and FILA in.
terest rates go up, some
people think there will be
little chance for FNMA to
sell this portfolio. The
| agency has committed itself
to purchase 1922 million
more in mortgages, and can
purchase up to a maximum
| of $3.50 million.
The Home Loan Bank
System has outstanding in
surance on $16,732 million
of deposits in Federal savings
and loan institutions.
FILA has mortgage insur-
ance outstanding on $14,669
million in home mortgages.
The Public Housing ADJ
ministration has 1899 million
outstanding in loans to local
housing authorities, and can
loan a maximum Of $500
million.
These and other activities,
plus VA loans, have been be-
hind the housing boom. They
have helped make it possible
for thousands of builders to
sell millions Of homes since
the end of World War II
and thus partly to alleviate
a severe housing shortage.

Here's New Adhesive

News 10 Handymen
By D. M. Derwin

To those legions of home own

leisure moments, a new adhesive
will be good news.
1t just seems that more and

repair tasks to which one assigns
oneself call for finished work that
mustn't show an honest nail or

This new synthetic resin emul-
sion is an ideal wood adhesive
and has many advantages over
animal glue. Stronger, perma-
nent, clear, water-resistant joints
can be made with no elaborate
preparation. It sets quickly, is
always ready for use, requires
no heat, no glue-pot and no
thinning.
The adhesive sets and dries
by the removal of water from
the emulsion. The length of

material to be bonded, as well
as the atmospheric conditions.
Soft woods can usually be ma
chined in about 20 minutes
after bonding with this adhesive.
Maple and other hard woods
take longer to set. For this
adhesive to bond at full strength,
at least "a hours drying time
is required.
In using this adhesive. it is
well to take a few precautions.
Keep from freezing. because
freezing of the liquid destroys
the emulsion. Do not bond OBJ

lower than SO degrees Fahren-

thought that the securing of a
new high school for Browning
was an impossibility and there
were those who thought of the
new school in terms of higher
taxes, but for the most part the
