FILA REDUCES
!. REQUIREMENTS
New Lower Down Payment
Enables VHMCP to Secure
Many More Loans
AID AVAILABLE HERE

The Voluntary Home Mortgage
Credit Program, the agency estab-
lished by Congress in 1854 to as
sist people living in small COM
munities secure government guar
anteed or insured loans to finance
the purchase of a home, is now
in its fourth year.
Through April 80, 1858, it has
secured approximately $500 mil
lion in such loans for over 81 800
people who, except for this pro-
gram, would have been unable to
buy a home because of a lack of
mortgage money in their own
communities.
The assistance of VHMCP is
available without charge to people
living in designated areas usual
ly cities and towns having less
than $4,000 population and to
minority groups wherever they
live or wish to purchase home.
During the first four months of
1858, VHMCP operating in Region
", which serves the District of
Columbia, Delaware, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West
Virginia, has placed more FILA
loans than it did in the entire
year of 1857 This is due largely
to lowered FILA down payment
requirements which are presently
only 3 per cent of the first S13,-
4 500 of valuation. Higher valued
homes require a slightly greater
percentage of down payments on
/ the value in excess of S13,5OO.
FILA financing is available
through the program in every
part of Region ". VHMCP is
anxious to serve, and can serve,
every qualified applicant includ-
ing builders of housing for sale

cation forms may be obtained by

Right Windows
Aid to Comfort
In Hot Weather

Short of installing a complete
air-conditioning system, the av-
erage homeoWner can make his
house more comfortable in sum-
mer with good ventilation.
A house is we'll ventilated
when its windows are arranged
so that inside heat can escape
through an opening at the top
and cooler air can come in
through an opening at the bot
tom.
Perhaps the most ideal win
dow for this type of ventilation
is the double-hung style shown
in the drawing. However, win
dows of ponderosa pine come in
a wide variety of styles which
can be arranged for proper ven
tilation.
Among these are awning and
hopper styles installed in banks

of two or more. The awning
window opens outward, while
the hopper style opens into the
room. Either of these, when in
stalled one above the other, can
be opened to permit the exit of
heat at the top and entrance of
cooler outside air at the bottom.
The awning window has an
other warm weather advantage:
When open, its surface forms
tiny roof, permitting the win
dow to be left open during
cooling rainstorm.
Sliding and easement windows
of ponderosa pine also offer good
ventilation. The sliding style
opens at either end, creating a
cooling draft as heat rushes out
one side and cool air comes in
the other. A easement window
opens completely, offering a
large opening for the passage
of air.

Advice From
Clark Gable

Of the tendency some young film stars
have to use their marriage to advance
their careers.
Long ago we decided that marriage
was not to be part Of our careers but
a part Of our life" says R. J. Clark
Gable gave me the best advice ! ever
got. He said the thing to do is go to
the studio and do your job and then go
straight home.
I'VE allow very few photographers
in the house or on the boat because its
our home and il belongs to Us. We see
no need to share il with the public.
I'VE plan to make films together but
not if the script capitalizes on the fact
that we are also man and wife. We have
our own production company, but
chances are we win appear together in
very few of the films we plan TO make.
Because they are film stars. the
WagneTs have their own special ver-
sion of the ''in-law problem." Their
in-laws are the public, and they have
learned from harsh experience that
everything they do is subject to public
scrutiny and speculation.
No Surprise Gifts
when we were dating. many Of the
things which most young couples in
love cherish were spoiled for US"
recalled Natalie. ''Once | was knitting
an afghan blanket as surprise gift for
r. Us boat. Two days before was to
give il to him he learned Of il in a
gossip column.
Another time he bought me beau
tiful ring as a gift but the jeweler tipped
off a columnist and l read about il.
I'VE keep everything that is personal
behind our own four walls" added
r. J. why should anyone else know
what goes on in our home? Most peo-
pie have their own lives and prOblems
and they are probably q darn sight more
interesting than the r. J. WagnerS. "
