Three had twins and one other

gage in order to reduce the

When buying a house al
ready occupied, it is often
possible to take over the
mortgage arrangement of the
person living in it. If you do
this. always have a title search
made to be sure the property
is free and clear of encum-
branceS.
Consult Lender Early.
If you plan to build. consult
your lender first. It is vir-
tually impossible to get con-
struction financing after you
start to build a house. Arrange
to get the financing and the
type of loan you want before
any building begins, with the
details in writing covering all
arrangements with respect to
the architect and builder. A
great deal of misunderstand-
ing can occur otherwise.
Building a house yourself
could be more expensive than
buying one already built be-
cause of problems that can
arise in the course of construc-
ton. When you buy a house
already built, you know what
the exact cost of the house
will be. However. in this case,
you can only buy what is
available.
When borrowing money on a
mortgage, it is wise to arrange
the terms so that you will
have the right to make pay
ments in advance, without
penalty. You can also prescribe
that this money paid in ad-
vance shall stand as a reserve
to protect you in case, at any
time in the future, you are un-
able to meet the current
monthly payments.

The President insisted that all

difference between the
philosophy of his administration

was not to say, Gen. Eisenhower
made plain. that all things done
by the Democrats when in Office
were necessarily evil.
1t was at this point that the
President summed up the phi
loSophy of his administration.
A lot of confusion about the
of number of terms
has arisen, he said. For example
there is the term liberal and the
term progressive.
The people in his administra-
ton, Gen. Eisenhower said, be-
lieve in being liberal when it
comes to dealing with humans.
They believe in being conserva-
tive when dealing with economy.

The discovery is a big short
