Farm Housing
Loan Program
Expanded

An expanded farm housing loan
program designed to speed up farm
building construction and improve
ment as we'll as act as an addi-
tional anti-recession measure was
announced to day by T. B. Father
rec, Farmers Home Administra-
ton State Director.
Now an owner of a farm in agri-
cultural production and on which
the operator plans to produce at
least $500 worth of farm commodi-
ties for sale or home use may quail
ify for the a percent long-term
housing loan provided that he
meets other standard eligibility re-
quiriments.
Formerly, an eligible. applicant
had to own a farm that produced
a more substantial part of the OPP
orators annual cash income.
Borrowers may use loan funds
to build, improve, or repair farm
houses or other essential farm
buildings, and to provide water for
farmstead and household use. Mr..
Fatherree said that in addition to
financing major construction, the
loan funds can help meet many
other needs for farm and farm
home modernization such as adding
bathrooms, utility rooms, better
kitchens, and many other improve
ments to the home as we'll as to
farm service buildings. While ten
ants and farm laborers are not
eligible, the owner may borrow to
do construction work or make i'm
provements for them.
The loans are made to farm
owners who need credit to finance
building improvements or repairs
but find that adequate credit is
not available through banks or
other regular credit channels. The
interest rate is percent and loans
may be amortized over periods up
to 33 years.
Mr.. Fatherree stated that ap-
plications for loans and all process
ing actions are initiated in county
Farm Home Administration Of
fices, which are located in most
county seat towns in the state.

North African
Union Sought

Rabat, Morocco, March II - A
Moroccan delegation charged with
laying the groundwork for con-
ference on North African union left
Casablanca today for Tunis
Creation of a United States of
North Africa is now the main OBJ
iective of Moroccan leaders. A
union of Morocco, Algeria and
Tunisia is a vital necessity and
the only means of bringing peace,
stability and prosperity to this
strategic area" according to the
President of the National Consulta-
tive Assembly, Mehdi Ben Barka.
Official Moroccan circles hope
that France will deem it more
profitable to cooperate with q
united North Africa than to con-
tinue to try to hold Algeria by
force.

Many Cancer
Victims Can
Be Cured

Chicago-The story of Lester B.
Granger, one of the 100000 liv-
ing Americans who have been
cured of cancer, is told in the
April issue of EBONY.
Granger, the 61-year old Execu-
tive Director of the National Urban
League was struck with cancer in
1949. He underwent surgery and
treatment which saved him, and he
was pronounced coured of cancer
after being free of the disease for
five years.
According to the American Can
Ger Society, over four million Ne
groes now living in this country
will at some time in their lives
be struck by cancer, and assuming
the present mortality rate con-
tinues, two million of this number
will die of the disease. With
knowledge and means available,
says EBONY, half of all cancer
cases can be cured if victims seek
treatment in time and can get it.
Changers recovery from cancer
and his return to busy creative
life spiritually undismayed and
physically unimpaired, was a quiet
drama in which courage, under
standing, faith, and notably medi-
cal science played important roles.
Of the EBONY article, DR.. w.
Kenneth Clark, Vice President for
Medical Affairs of the American
Cancer Society says: "The inspir-
ing article about Lester Changers
victory over cancer in the April
issue of EBONY reconfirms our
knowledge that many cancers can
be cured. In fact, there are 5000
Americans alive today, many of
them Negroes - who have been
saved from this disease. If the
readers Of EBONY take to heart
the optimistic message in this i'm
portant afticle, it may mean the
saving of many lives"
Grangerb is grateful to science,
he relates jim the EBONY article,
for having conquered the cancer
in his own body not merely be-
cause it prolonged his life but
also because it might give hope
| to others.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: was settin down eatin
ma feesh and drinking my beer
when overheard another one of
those conversations not violent
enough to call an argument that
took me back to the time when l
was boy and used to set up-under
the house playing railroad with
wooden trains with wheels made
of J. P. Coats thread spools, where
| could always hear, if need be,
what the Ole Folks were talking
about This was back in the
years when always during the
spring and summer my mother
would be always warning me about
going over in the woods eating
too many green plums, musca-
dimes and berries and what not,
end coming-up with what the Ole
Folks called in those days
the-running off of -the-bowels
What discovered in the converse
ton about which / started off to
talk about was that since the Su-
preme Court decision a great many
Of Aine Haggar's Chillun has come
up with an affliction askin to what
/ said my Mother used to warn me
about when it come the time of the
year to go hunting for plums, mus
cadines, black berries, etc. The
conversation waxed little bit
warm before it was brought to
rather abrupt end as you shall see
before end this piece One
brother was expounding to the
crowd gathered around the table
with their feesh and beer about
what the S'preeme Coat done al
ready did, and what it gwine-to
do, and looking over at him you
could Sc that if he had any kind
of knowledge at all it didn't add
up to what it would take to make
a digest of what the Supreme
Court has done and what it will or
will not do when all of the law
yers, pro and con have had their
say could also see among
his listeners one brother who
couldn't hide his Impotence and
disgust as the Knowing-On kept
rambling-on with a greater and
greater show of what was intended
to be great profoundly :.
knowing how 'mongst Aine Hag-
gar's Chillun such things sometime
produce sudden violence | kept
keeping close watch on what went
on til the crowd broke-up :.
and here's what did it. ; Taking
a good hard look at the Knowing

1T is EASY TO LIVE A LIFE
FOR CHRIST
Care and life are kin folks
Everyone will make a name
dream
When you fail to have love or care
at home
You will wish | had never seen.
The Holy Spirit dwells in a home
Where care and love both abide
There is nothing in the home you
For husband and wife to hide.
When a man cares for his wife
Love finds him on his way
He does everything he can in life
For both of them to stay.
How can you do the will of God
With no Christ in your home
A humble wife left back behind
And the man always gone.
If we can't live up to Gods will
Christ says | know you not
Thousands are claiming Gods
Heaven
But | am afraid He'll will be your
lot.
If you won't obey the laws of God
Where every day you know and see
How can you expect to get in Gods
Heaven
And from your sins you have never
been free.
You will join the house of God
With your name put on the roll
Never been born of the spirit
Brothers how about your soul.
The Lord is all Love you see
He has mercy on such man
He owns a part in Gods heaven
And don't even own a acre of land.
If you join the House of Worship
You will call it the Church of God
1t is only a place to worship in
Gods church is in the christian
heart.

Facts Help The Schools

The first step toward solving the problem OF hooli-
ganism in the schools is to recognize openly Nothing
is ever accomplished by trying to minimize the facts
It is normal enough for school principals and other
administrators to try to hushhush unpleasant things
This attitude that trouble tends to give
school bad name
But whenever school people are prepared to act ag-
gressively their problems we see reason to be
afraid of letting the public know the facts.

pupils are decent, aw-abding young people, small.
