From Childhood Acquainted...'


Most people, when they are
grown up, like the foods they
learned to eat when children. If
you never learned to eat rhubarb,
or hominy. or squash, or oysters,
when you were little, you aren't
going to be very fond of them,
probably. after you are grown. It
is exactly the same way with the
Bible. As a rule there are eXcep-
tons. of course), the Christians
who get the most out Of the Bible
are those who. like Timothy, We're
from childhood acquainted with
the sacred writings The first and
best start toward knowing the
Bible and loving it and getting the
most out of it. all your life. is to
hear it and mcmorize it when you
are small CBy the way, it is never
too late to begin committing Bible
passages to memory) The best
thing Christian parents can do for
their children is to see that they
are as familiar as possible with
Gods book. the book to grow by.

COMMISSIONER,
Federal Housing AdminiStr alton.


Two men were making their
way to neighboring apartments
after a very late party. They
made a couple Of wrong turns
that got them onto a railroad
track.
Unperturbed. they began to
plod their way along the track.
In due course, their progress be-
came wearisome, and one Of
them said. This is the longest
stairway I've ever SEEM"
The other said, "Just thinking
the same thing-and do you no.
tice how low the handrails are?"
People longing for a home Of
their own have too often found
the stairway ahead of them long,
and the handrails low.
The Housing Act Of 1854
shortens the stairway to better
housing for more people, at the
same time making the protective
handrails higher.
Many thousands of additional
families will now be able to buy
homes because of the new hous-
ing law. It shortens the STAIR
way in many ways. I am conf
dent it will encourage America S
people to set new records, both in
the building of new homes and
in the rehabilitation and sale of
existing homes.
Calls 1t Great Achievement.
The new housing legislation
is one of the great achievements
of President Eisenhower's pro-
gram. And as much as any other
measure it emphasizes the i'm
portance your government at
taches to human values.
The President has said that
the housing measures enacted
by Congress will make certain
that every American family has
an opportunity for a decent
home in a good neighborhood.
Both the President and the
Congress have told me tot make
the FILA work for the benefit of
the people of America. / am
going to try to do this.
The new law permits smaller
down payments and longer
terms. The minimum down pay
ment. on $4,000 home, for
example, now is $1.200-just
half what it was under the pre-
vious legislation. This will help
our newly-formed families. and
others who have been unable to
accumulate big savings. to have
homes of their own.
The period for paying back the
loan has extended to 80 years.

Stable D. {. Economy
Is Reflected in
Demand for Homes
Fall improvement
Joins Evidence
U. S. Jobs Are Firm
By Donald B. HodIey
Financial Editor of The Star.

Stable conditions in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area, de-
spite earlier worries of Govern
ment job reductions, have heart
ened both business and civic
leaders here.
The increased confidence is re-
flected particularly in all seq
ments of the home building and
improvement industry. It also
has been a major factor in a fall
upsurge in retail trade.
The autumn improvement ar
rived after sales Jagged in the
last half of 1853 and the first
half of this year. 1t accompanied
evidence that Government en-
ployment had been stabilized.
However, all through the pc
riod of nervousness which fol-
lowed the installation of Re-
publican administration. basic
barometers of business activity
have shown remarkable stability
as growth of the Washington
Metropolitan Area continued.
Public utility figures have sup
piled the best evidence of this
growth. Small declines in the
District itself have been much
more than Offset by gains in
adjoining Maryland and Vir-
ginia suburbs.
Bank deposits in the District
stand only slightly below their
all-time records, while those in
the suburbs have scared to new
peaks. Bank clearings and bank
debts also have set new records
so far this year.
Assets and share accounts of
savings and loan associations
have expanded steadily to new
highs. Life insurance sales in
the District were well above a
year ago and postal receipts
moved into new high ground.
While District sales of new
automobiles were slightly behind
1853 in eight months, August
sales forged above a year ago.
Used-car sales in both periods
were up substantially. Vehicular

U. 5. Employment Up
Slightly in Area
To $4,000 Jobs
TotoI Is Expected
To Remain About
Same in Year Ahead
By Joseph Young

Government employment in
the Washington area promises to
remain pretty stable in the fore
seeable future.
With Government the main
industry in this area, this sta
bility of employment augurs well
for the community's economy.
The present number of Federal
employees in the Washington
area is 227,112.
It is about $4,000 less than
when the Eisenhower admin
istration took Office ain January,
1853. But after a series of econ
omy layoffs during the past 81
months which mad the whole
Washington area jittery, Gov
eminent employment has leveled
off to its present figure.
In fact, Government employ
ment here has increased slightly
during the past few months.
Administration officials say
they expect the present number
of Government jobs in Washing
ton to remain about the same in
the year ahead.
Of course, there are factors
which could change the Govern
ment job picture here, but these
would increase rather than de-
crease employment.
Another shooting war like Ko-
rea or a full-scale war, or even
an intensification Of the defense
program, presumably would
bring thousands of additional
workers to Washington.
Administration officials &C
knowledge that, whether one
likes it or not, big Government
Is here to stay. They see no early
end to international tension, and
as long as this is true, Federal
employment will be high. The
defense agencies alone employ
nearly so per cent of Federal
workers in Washington.
1t is apparent that there will
not be a return to the pre-1941
total of less than 10000 Gov
eminent workers in Washington.
Federal employment here went
over the 100000 mark during
World War II, then dropped to
slightly below 100000 in 1947.
During the Korean war 1t
xoomed to $685. 900 In 1851.

market facilities for home mort
cages, and provides for the grad
ual substitution in 1t of private
investment for federal invest
ment.
In addition, it establishes
new voluntary home mortgage
credit program. Now the average
citizen who wants to borrow
money for home from his local
lender will be much more likely
to get it-wherever he may live.
Not only will this channel money
into the small communities, it
will also make mortgage money
available to minority group fam
lilies.
FILA is now prepared to ex-
tend it's benefits to thousands
of additional families.
The new Act provides sub
stantially the same FILA bene-
fits for buying older homes as
those provided for buying new
homes. On a $4,000 older home,
for example, the down payment
under FILA now is only 5000
just half the former amount.
The more liberal terms for
existing homes will encourage
the enlargement and moderniza-
ton of homes and the purchase
of larger older homes They will
permit people to trade in their
old homes for reconditioned
like. new" homes.
All honest Americans applaud
