Ownership
Loan Service
Now Expanded

The farm ownership loan SER
vice which has enabled many
Richland county farmers to buy,
enlarge, or improve their farms
with 40-year loans has recent
ly been expanded to enable the
Farmers Home Administration to
serve the credit needs of a larger
number of farm families, Gale
Dorm, the agency's county super
visor, explained today.
Under recent legislation loans
may now be made primarily to
refinance existing debts of own
perpetrators of farms no larger
than family-type. In the past the
agency only refinanced loans
when the refinancing was Incl
dental to the making of real es-
tate loans for the purchase or
Improvement of family = type
farms.
MI. Dorm said the loans for
refinancing will help farmers who
have adequate real estate security
and who are otherwise in a
sound position but who are un-
able to meet their present OBJ
legations and need credit on more
favorable terms and conditions
than r currently available from
other lenders.
When debts are refinanced by
the Farmers Home Administra-
ton under this program, the re~
payments will be scheduled over
periods up to 40 years accord
ing to the borrowers ability to
repay. Interest, or interest plus
insurance charges, will be Az
percent.
The regular credit services of
the agency including loans for
the purchase and Improvement of
family-type farms are continued.
The new law also provides
loans for developing and improv-
ing farms that are smaller than

ManlSa, Turkey
Sept. %, 1856
Dear Friends,
1t was indeed a thrill this past
week to visit EphesuS, a very his
torical old city. 1t was a center
of the early Christian church and
one of the most beautiful and
magnificent cities of its day.
Many years have been spent I'M
covering the ruins of civilizations
which began more than 1000
years before Christ, and even yet
new discoveries are being made
almost every day.
They had found a marble god
deSs, supposed to be one of the
most significant discoveries in re-
cent years, only a few minutes
before we arrived. 1t had been
carved about 1870 A. d. and was
almost perfectly preserved.
Ephesus is the Biblical city
where st. Paul preached and
where one of the first seven
Christian churches was establish
ed. We visited the ruins of this
great church called the Church of
Councils or Virgin Mary church
and saw the Baptismal Font
where many of the early Chris
tians were baptised. The city is
supposed to have been third in
Importance after Jerusalem and
Antioch in early Christianity.
1t once had a population of
nearly 1000, 900 people and was
surrounded by a wall five and
one-half miles long. The Temple
of Diana, one of the Seven Won
ders of the ancient world, is To-
Gated here also. The newly dis
covered statue of a Goddess which
we saw was probably located in
this temple at one time. The Di-
ana temple is almost completely
destroyed SO that only a few
columns remain but it was a thrill
even to see where it had been.
The Tomb and Church of st.
the disciple, are located
only a short distance from Ephe-
sus. 1t is surprisingly well pre-
served and very large. The tomb
was sealed SO we couldn't see it
The Sidney herald., 1956-11-01

but at least we saw where it is
located.
A short distance in another di-
rection from Ephesus is the house
where Mary, the mother of Je-
sus lived, and probably died. 1t
has been almost completely re-
stored and is now open for pill
grimages. There is a small altar
and bronze statue of Mother
Mary inside the house. Hundreds
of Christians from all over the
world come to visit this Christian
monument every year.
Jesus is considered one of the
prophets before Mohammed and
is revered by Moslems not as the
Son of God but as a prophet. For
this reason MoSlem Turks also
consider Mary's home a religious
shrine and many of them visit
here also.
Many of the beginnings of
Christianity took place in Turkey
and we have had an opportunity
to visit several of these places.
Turks are very respectful and
are attempting to preserve all of
them.
The North Atlantic Treaty
headquarters is located at Ismir,
where we have been for the past
two weeks. There T a large
number of Americans living there
and working with KATO. / even
met a fellow Montanan who is
a colonel in the u. S. Air Force.
He also graduated from Montana
State College so we had a fine
time talking over old times.
Sincerely yours,
Bill LaSSey.

Turks Consider
HI Clubs

Dear friends.
Here in Turkey one can deeply
appreciate the great good thai
organizations like All clubs have
done for rural young people anc
rural life in general in the U. S
Turkey would benefit greatly
from a similar organization and
is now making an effort to get
started, but is having some diff
ficulty. The idea of a club for
young people is new to the
Turks and they do not readily
accept it.

could be taught through boys
and girls who are more receptive
to new ideas,I and who in most
cases here have more education
than their parents, it could i'm
prove village living considerably
as it has in many places in the
U. S.
We are now staying at an Ag-
ricultunal boarding school for
young people 11-16 years of age
= an institution quite different
from schools we have in Montana
or North Dakota. The students
come from villages and spend
three nine month terms here TAX

in Turkey of its kind and would
correspond in age and course of
study with our Junior high school.

places.
All of the expenses are paid
by the government SO there is
no cost to the families of the
students. This makes it possible
for any boy or girl of better than
average ability to attend regard
less of the financial status of the
parents. l think this is a good
practice because most parents
could not pay for the
