HOMEoWNER BEWARE
Check on Reliability of Contractor

is given directly to you by the
lender. You're on your own.
Don't let the contractor talk you
into indorsing your check over
to him. Don't fall for a large
down payment before the work
starts unless you know the con-
tractor well. FILA regulations
don't require a down payment.
If you pay the contractor in
stages as the work progresses,
be sure you are paying him
only for the part of the work
ALREADY done and only for ma
terials that he can prove he
has already paid for.
Don't pay him off Just be-
cause materials have been de-
livered, They may not even
be suitable for your job.
When you're deciding on the
type Of FHA-insured financins
you want, remember that il
the contractor arranges it, the
bank or savings association
which makes the loan deals
only with contractors on theil
approved list. This is a protec-
tion for you. Further, if you
have a justified complaint
against the contractor, the
bank or savings association will,
help you.
If the loan is paid directly
to you, you have to determine
the reliability of the contractor
yourself and you have to resist
all his efforts to get you to pay
him off before the work is
completed.
Compliance on Work
The work is not satisfactorily
completed if it fails to meet
the specifications of your
building inspector. To make
sure that the work does CON-
ply, you should do these
things:
Find out if you need a per-
NIT. Insist that you see the
permit before the work starts
Compare the description of the
work on the permit with the
description of the work in your
contract. Be sure the descrip-
tions agree. If the permit says
the work will be done "as per
plans" insist on seeing the
plans. Where additions to a
house are concerned, there
should be an exact drawing
Finally, before you sign a COM
pletion certificate or pay the
contractor in full, ask your To-
cal building inspector to make
a final inspection.
If you sign for a loan and
then decide to pay in cash
don't just hand the money to
the contractor. Get back your
note before you give him any
money.
If you have exhausted all
other possibilities for financing
and have to put another mort
gage on your home. don't sign
a deed of trust note until the
| work is completed The signed
note is Just as negotiable as a
check.
Remember: It's your money
we're talking about. 1t takes
only a second to sign your
name. 1t may take years to
pay back all the money you
obligated yourself to pay when
you signed.

Drug Fair at 5401 Lee highway
Three demonstrators arrived
there at ITO pm. and sat down
at the fountain. Following the
same practice used at other
stores earlier, the management
quickly removed seats from
other stools around the foun-
tain and quit serving customers
At 1905 pm. today, seven
of the group walked into the
Drug Fair at 1915 Lee highway
A colored youth sat down at
the fountain and was soon
joined by two young colored
women.
Some Customers Leave
Many of the 20 or so persons
at the counter left without fin
ishing their lunches. The dem
onstrators quietly talked OF
read Bibles while William Orri-
son, assistant manager, began
removing the seats from all the
other stools.
After the seats were removed
three other persons joined
those at the fountain by sitting
on books placed on the stool
bases. Two of them departed
leaving a white couple and col
ored couple.
A dozen or SO persons stood
in the store watching quietly
while a policeman or two kept
an eye on proceedings.
Fountain employees left with
out serving the newcomers. A
sign was placed announcing
the fountain was closed.
The same procedure was fol.
lowed at the Peoples Drue
Store at 4700 Lee highway
also a target for yesterdays
demonstration.
There four men and one
woman arrived about 1918
pm. and took seats at the
fountain. One of the men was
white. The management i'm.
mediately removed all Other
tops of stools and put up 6

fountain area was roped off.

How to Get Your Moneys
Worth

Here's the don't" that will
save you the most heartache
Don't pay your contractor the
full sum you owe him until the
work is completed satisfac-
torily.
The precautions you use de-
pend on which type of loan
you get.
If your contractor arranges
an FHA- insured loan for you
with a bank or savings associa-
ton, the lender will pay the
contractor after you and the
contractor both sign a paper
certifying that the work has
been satisfactorily completed
This is called a completion
certificate. Once you sign that
paper, the contractor gets the
money and you start paying on
the loan. Once the contractor
gets that completion certificate
signed, you may never see him
again. Note to wives: Don't
sign the completion certificate
till your husband gets home
He may spot defects you missed
A phony contractor may try
to get you to sign the compile
ton certificate when you sigr
the original contract. That's
why you must read every paper
carefully.
If you arrange the FHA- in
sured loan yourself, the money

the roof leaks. You also will
find out whether guarantees
are honored or ignored.
Watch out for extravagant
guarantees. A guarantee is nc
better than the contractor be-
hind it. Often the longest-term
guarantee is the one least likely
to be honored.
Before you settle finally on
a contractor, call your Better
Business Bureau. If a BIB of
ficial says the contractor
doesn't cooperate with the
Better Business Bureau" take
it as a warning.
Call your bank or savings and
loan association. If your bank
makes a lot of home improve
ment loans and tells you that
I'VE don't do business with this
contractor" take another look
before you leap.
Be sure your contractor has
an actual place of business in
the Washington area, not just
an answering service. You
might arrange to meet him
there. Ask how much of the
work his own crew will do, how
much has to be subcontracted
See if he's listed at that ad-
dresS-or any address-in the
telephone book. Your main
goal with these inquiries is to
make sure that he is an estab-
lished contractor, not a fast
talking, fast-moving promoter
Check His Insurance
Ask your contractor if he is
insured and with what COM
pany. Call the company to
verify it. If he's not insured
and a workman gets killed fall
ing from your roof, you may
be held responsible.
Before you sign your home
improvement contract, look it
over closely. Does it have ev-
erything you want done in spe-
cific terms? Does it say what
materials will be used and the
manufacturer of these mate
rials? Does it specify the actual
work involved in installation =?
Beware of contractors who say
they haven't got room for all
that in their contract. Don't
go by what they tell you orally
but don't put in writing. If
they tell you they're going to
scrape and caulk but don't spell
it out. don't sign. If it's not
in the contract, the chances
are better than even that you're
not going to get it.
Just remember: You're not
going to get something for
nothing. They're not doing you
a favor. You're doing them a
favor.

How To Finonce
Your Home Repoir Loon

Once you're satisfied with
the contractor, you should TO-
Gus on how you're going to
pay for the work.
If the contractor says he
will arrange the financing find
out the name of the lender he
plans to use. If he says it is
to be an FHA-insured loan,
call the bank or savings asso-
citation he names and ask If
he is on the lenders approved
list.
If he suggests that you get
the FHA-insured loan your

self and don't mention my
name" watch out. He may
have been rejected as a con-
tractor.
Find out exactly what the
job is going to cost you, COM
plete with finance charges.
Don't under any circum-
stances sign any papers un-
less they are completely filled
in without spaces left blank
Look on both sides of the
paper. Beware of papers
handed to you like a deck of
cards with the salesman simply
pointing out spaces where you
are to sign. You may be Sign

Dozens of Methods
There are half a dozen off
ferent methods of financing
home improvements. Ask your
bank or savings association
which is best suited to your
needs.
Be wary about split financing
two different loans to finance
your home Improvements. You
face two monthly bills that way.
II a contractor takes you to
a private banker to arrange a
financial DEAL" watch out.
You may have 10 per cent
added to your bill and you may
not like the financial deal he
works out.
Don't sign any document
deed Of trust. affidavit, promis-
sary note-until and unless you
fully understand it.
Get in writing the exact size
of your monthly payments and
how much time you have to
complete your payments.
Remember: A second mort
gage or deed of trust on your
home is the most expensive and
the least protected method of
financing.
