Mr.. Humphrey said he doesn't

Asked if he and Mrs. Hum

he replied:
I'm some things. In some ways
we use what is the equivalent
of the installment plan"

Over Million
Housing Units
Seen for SO

Houses placed under construc-
ton during November continued
at about the same relatively Low
rate established during October
according TO figures released by
the Bureau Of Labor Statistics
Some 10000 nonfarm houses
were put under construction dur
ing November, the bureau said,
to make it the lowest November
since 1851.
During the first II months of
the year. some l.055.O00 units
were begun. a figure 16 per cent
below the corresponding figure
for 1855, the bureau said.
Privately wned housing ac-
counted for 1882 900 of the total
during the IL months and If this
rate is maintained through De-
cember. the total for the year
should total about IL million

per cent in the interest rate
while rejecting a relatively small
increase in monthly payments
amountS to q substantial sun
over the entire mortgage payofl
period.
A raise of half Of / per cent
in the CT rate would mean that
"a house with a 30-year, $4,000
mortgage would cost a veteran
$3.50 a month more in interest
Over the 3O-year life of the
mortgage this would amount To
a total Of $l.296 in additional
interest.
If you look at the increase in
the monthly payments, it may
seem inconsiderable. If you
look at the total cost over the
years that you pay, it may seem
more important.
Involved too, in any interest
rate increase, is the number of
persons who are disqualified
from buying, as interest rates
go up. This is a factor in the
picture that concerns builders,
brokers and buyers alike.

John F. Austin, jr., president

Christmas CaroEng
% Custom Ulhieh
6egan Centuries ago

Christmas caroling, so much q
part of our p~resent-day observance
of Christmas. is said to have begun
about the 10th century.
The first real Christmas carol is
attributed to st. Francis of Assist,
who made a model of the Bethle-
hem manger to help him tell his
people the Christmas story.
Christmas carols were then sup
posedly taken from Italy to Eng
land by the travelling clergy. The
idea of caroling fitted into the Eng
lish conception of Christmas as a
combination of religious celebra-
ton and a day of good will. 30 it
iourished in that country.
Little bands and groups of sing
ers which sprang up in the towns
and villages were called Waits"
A natural explanation of the name
seems to be that it refers to watch
ing and waiting, for Christmas Eve
is called the Vigil of Christmas.
AS early as December 81, which
is the day dedicated to st. Thomas,
mummers and carolers would be-
gin going from door to door. an
nouncing the great feast at hand.
1t was natural for householders to
offer hospitality to these trouba-
doris, and gradually in many places
the custom of giving and receiving
presents of various kinds was es-
tablished.

How Santa Claus, Ind,
Got a Famous Name

A familiar looking old gentleman
with a redssuit and a white beard
was partially responsible for nam
ing the town of Santa Claus, Indi-
ana
Except for a lucky break, the
town might have had another
name and thus would not have
enjoyed the annual fame that it
enjoys with each Yuletide season
Originally the name Santa Fe
a chosen. but officials in Wash
ington suggested another name be
chosen, since there already was a
Santa Fe in New Mexico.
So it was that on Christmas Eve.
IN 1882. citizens of the nameless
town gathered to select another
name, Suggestions were tossed
about for some time. until Santa
Claus, making his yearly visits
in the neighborhood strobe In to
get warm. He was attired In
proper costume and his arrival
seemed to put one name In every
mind.
And SO the town was named
Santa Claus.
