Nearly a third In number
about 240, 000-valued at over

But Fanny Mays Importance
seems more far-reaching than
any account Of its activities
would suggest. Nowadays. when
demand for investment funds
Is high and their availability is
restricted. Fanny May has in
creasingly come to be looked on
las a financial backstop in the
home mortgage field.
Accordingly. mortgage Offer
ings to it tend to vary with the
ease or tightness Of the resale
market for mortgages--which
in turn is strongly affected by
general levels Of supply and
demand for investment funds.
Thus. mortgage offerings to
FNMA are in some degree a
barometer Of the market avail
ability Of long-term funds.
In overall effect, FNMA tends
to improve the marketing OF
mortgages by linking together
more closely the areas of capt.
tai shortage and capital surplus.
In consequence of these ac-
tivities the improved market
ability of home mortgages
undoubtedly tends to iron out
some Of the fluctuations in
home building formerly caused
by sudden changes in financial
markets which tended to
freeze" mortgage funds.
In turn this helps to stabilize

Quirements 1.-THE lending insti-
tuition may now offer it for
sale to FNMA.
Upon completing the sale,
FNNA becomes owner Of the
mortgage. the original lender
will prabably collect the
monthly payments of interest,
principal and taxes for FNMA,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Byers will
continue TO pay the original
lender as though 1t were still
the holder Of the mortgage.
But what has been ac-
complished by this resale OF
the mortgare9
First. Of course, Mr.. and
Mrs. Byers have been able
to buy q home.
Next, the sellers Of the home
have made a sale.
Third. the bank or local lend
ing institution has felt free
to make the loan because they
felt assured Of reselling the
mortgage Il. they needed cash
to continue their operations.
The opportunity for RESELL
ing the mortgage investment
is what 'liquidity for home
mortgage investments" means
to the original lender. It is
obviously of direct benefit to
the buyer and the seller as
well.
This particular activity of
Fanny May is described as q
Secondary Market Operation. {"
Il deals mot in the original or
retail" market-but some-
what like a wholesaler in the
resale or secondary" markets
where long-term investors buy
and resell mortgages.
Currently it is FNMA's most
important activity. Some idea
Of its scope is given by the fact
that since November /, 1854,
FNMA has purchased about
$4,000 mortgages valued at APP
proximately $l.4 billion in this
program alone.
But secondary market op-
erations. though important, are
not Fanny Mays only activity.

In a typical case, this is how

borrowed the rest on q very
short-term mortgage - often
due in as little as three years
in full If financial markets
were tight when the mortgage
came due he was usually out
Of luck. If his own bank
couldn't renew his loan. the
chances Of doing it at another
were often as bad or worse.
This is decidedly not the case
today. First of all. today's
mortgage is usually amor
tized"-repayment of principal
is made on q monthly payment
plan until the loan is repaid in
full. This usually takes longer
than the average family can
pay in 3 or 4 years so the dura-
ton or maturity" Of the mort
gage may be is. 20 or Is years
or longer.
A lot can happen in 20 years
or so. Thus one Of the most
striking Developments in re-
cent years has been the use Of
Government-guaranteed or in
sured mortgages to induce
lending institutions to make
long-term home loans with low
down payments. In consequence,
the FILA and CT loan plans are
household words for countless
American families.
While Government backed
mortgages have helped to as
sure lending institutions against
serious losses from payment
defaults. another problem fac
ing lenders is much less widely
understood. In times Of high
prosperity the demand for
mortgage funds may rise to
levels which cannot readily be

1854 Fanny May was re-
chartered to conduct two other
types Of activities as we'll: ~
Management and liquidating
functions. and ~ special as
sistance functions.
About These Functions
Under its management and
liuuidating functions, FNMA
manages and liquidates a
mortgage portfolio acquired
under arrangements entered
into prior to operations under
the new charter Of 1854. These
functions are carried on solely
for the account Of the Govern
ment.
The portfolio, plus authorize
ton to purchase. amounted to

when the new charter was APP
proved. It has since been re-
duced to about $2.261 .OO0. 900 a
reduction Of $701 million or
more than Is per cent.
Special Assistance
Under the special assistance
functions. Fanny May provides
assistance in financing certain
special classes of home mort
cages. pending the establish
ment Of their marketability. un-
der circumstances in which
private capital is either not
available or is in very limited
supply.
These include mortgages for
housing cooperative groups.
elderly persons. victims of ma
jor disaster, members Of the
armed forces, civilian employees
of defense installations, mort
cages for urban renewal and
redevelopment. and special
area assistance for Alaska and
Guam.
These special functions are
now wholly financed by the
Government either under con-
gressional authority or author
ization by the President.
It is intended. however. that
when the marketability Of these
mortgages can be established
they will be purchased by
private investors, thereby draw
ing private capital into the
operations.

agement specialists from 46

center on the agricultural and
family living outlook for 1858,
and the effects of marketing
changes on the. outlook. Discus

CHOOSE HOME COLOR
SCHEME AS WARDROBE
PLANNED

Choose eolors for decorating
your home as you would plan a
wardrobe, suggests Miss Patricia
A. Middleton, extension home
management specialist at the Uni
versity of Delaware.
In planning a color scheme that
characterizes your family, she
said, select a foundation color to
dominate and tie a room together,
Other colors in the room should
not create unrelated spots, but
blend the whole pleasingly.
Three colors are sufficient for
an interesting room color scheme,
Miss Middleton advised-but these
should not be used in equal guam
titles. The scheme might be one
color dominating, with smaller
parts of the second blended with
accents of the third.
Think of the room as having
three major color elements, the
home specialist said. These are
the background, secondary, an6
highlight colors. The background
color, or walls and ceiling color
sets the mood of the room. Tc
