Additional Funds
For Farm Housing

An additional $50 million
has been made available to
the Farmers Home Admins
tration for farm housing loans
County Supervisor Walter E.
Strider announced today.
He said that the new loan
funds assume an adequate
supply of this type of credit
for eligible farm families dur
ing the balance of the fiscal
year. Loans made so far this
year plus those being process
sed had practically exhausted
the funds previously available.
Farm housing loans are made
throughput the rural areas of
the United States. The loans
provide farm families with an
opportunity to acquire an ade-
quate house and efficient Ser
vice buildings.
Applications for farm hous-
ing loans may be made at the
county office of the Farmers
Home Administration, Mr..
Strider said. The loans bear
four percent interest and are
repayable over periods up to
33 years. The major demand
in Mississippi and Holmes
County is for loans to con-
struct and modernize farm
houses, and most of the funds
are used for new construction.
improvements financed with
the loans include the install
lation of central heating, and
pressure water supply sys-
tens, the addition of bath
rooms and the modernization
of kitchens. Many local far
mers also use the loans to adj
just their service buildings to
the changing requirements of
agriculture.
To be eligible a farmer
must own a farm that will
annually produce for sale or
home use at least $500 worth
of commodities based on 1914
prices and be of sufficient
value to adequately secure
the loan. In addition, he must
lack the resources needed to
obtain credit elsewhere and
have sufficient income to pay
farm operating and family
living expenses and met pay
ments when Cue on his debts.

now. If this rate of deprecia-
ton continues, the dollar will
lose half its value in 80 years

There are two ways of re-
acting to these facts. One is
the popular view of How aw-
full! This must be stopped at
once!" The other view is. ITS
not ideal admittedly, but how
does the United States dollars
record comare with the rec
ord Of other currencieS? How
have most Americans made out
during this period? Why has
the dollar lost value this way?"
Second View Studied
Let's pursue this second view:
How does the United States
dollars record compare?
The United States dollar
ranks in seventh place among
43 currencies in the rate of
annual depreciation between
1850 and 1860, a new compila-
ton Of the First National City
Bank of New York reveals.
Ahead of our dollar are the
currencies of the Philippines
and Ceylon. with annual rates
of depreciation compounded

per cent.
Showing the same rate of
losS-2.l per cent-are the cur
rencies of Germany. India,
Lebanon. Slightly behind with
an annual shrinkage Of % per
cent is Canada's dollar.
Considerably behind are the
currencieS of Japan and the
United Kingdom, Norway,
Sweden, France. And in an or
bit Of their own with losses
ranging to SO per cent in one
decade are the currencies of
Argentina, Chile, Bolivia.
If you'll study these COM
parsons for an instant, one
point that will emerge clearly
is that the record of our dol
lar is on a par with or better
than any other industrial ma
tion. Not one of the nations
with a better record than ours
is a major power, not one can
be put in our class in size,
responsibilities or character.
Our dollars record has not
been ideal but it hasn't been
bad either-and much of the
criticism is simply not justified.
Most Beat Decline
How have most Americans
made out?
The majority of Americans
have beaten the loss in the
dollars value. The annual rate
Of increase in pay checks, prof
its. dividends. rents, has ex-
ceeded 81 per cent. Social Sc
curity payments also have been
increased steadily and substan-
TALLY.
By any yardstick, m ost
Americans are ahead.
Why has the dollar lost
value?
The dollar has been shrink
ing in buying power because
we have built into our eco
nomic system forces whic h
tend to keep the cost of living
and general price level In an
upward creep.
It has been shrinking be-
cause we have been fighting a
great cold war and little hot
wars, and wars drain a cur
rency'S buying power.
Although the annual rate of
loss, hopefully. will .dwindle,
these explanations emphasize
that what has been the dol
lars recent past is likely to
be the dollars near-term fu-
ture. But we can live with this
and most Americans can beat
1t too.

High Value From Pioneers
By VAN ALLEN BRADLEY

AS I have written many
times in this column. the
first editions Of pioneering
works in any field Of human
knowledge are likely to be
very available.
Such a book is William
Gilbert'S famous treatise on
magnetism. published in
London in 1900. In it Gilbert
summed up everything that
had been discovered to that
date about magnetism and
electricity. This earned him
the title. the father of mod
ern electricity"
The book appeared entirely
in Latin. It's title page reads,
in part. as follows:

your reason for not studying

l. It's no use. The teacher

Of the foregoing answers, you
need help in organizing
learning into knowledge.
Next the treatment. II dates
are your major trouble. try
this:
l. Get a large piece Of
paper. Brown wrapping paper
ID or "a inches wide will do
well. Draw a line across this
from one side to the other.
Let the left side of the line
represent the beginning of
any period you are studying.
Let the right side represent
100 years later, or even 200
years.
2. Put on this line all Of
the dates that you know
from your history lessons
which fall into this period.
Label these dates with names
and places.
3. Refer to your text for
other dates which you can
add to help fill up the line.
Throw the whole thing away
and do the same thing again
tomorrow.
Time lines are Just one
means of helping you organ

seem to be so elusive when
you're trying to recall them
to answer questions.

Here's another sure-fire
way Of organizing learning
into knowledge.
l. Read the first chapter
Of one of your textbooks and
from memory write a one
page outline Of what was COW
cred. What did the author
talk about? Keep your out
line in short sentences.
2. Check this against the
table Of contents and the
chapter heads. What did you
leave out? Correct your out
line.
3. Now try to incorporate
the second chapter with the
first and still keep your writ
ten-from-memory outline in
just one page. Check the new
outline against the book and
correct as necessary.
4. Start over and include
still another chapter - but
prepare the same page-length
outline.
S. Perhaps this brings you
up to date in the course.
Then there's Just one more
thing to do: read ahead one
more chapter.
II you need to know how to
organize learning, these
things will help you.
In conclusion, a word of
consolation: You aren't the
first student to experience
organizing trouble and you
have a great deal of present
company.

young for a real interest in
ballroom dancing.
My daughter started all
types of d dancing lessons
when she was seven years
old. She is now IA and is
still taking ballet and tap,

1 believe a child should
have tap lessons right along
with the ballet lessons,
though the ballet teachers
will probably disagree with
me, However, if you have
been around teen-age girls
who have had only ballet les
sons, you will see that a lot
of them walk around in
fourth position. which is
with their toes pointing out.
Needless to say, this is an
ugly walk.
If the girl has had tap les
sons along with her ballet,
she will walk gracefully, with
her toes pointed straight
ahead.
There have been times
when my daughter has
wanted to stop her lessons,
but she hasn't done this.

which your aging parents
can play a role. There are
a thousand and one church

Your parents may need a
push to go into any of this.
They may be reticent at first.
But go ahead-give them a
push Gust as they once
pushed you when you needed
it,. A feeling of usefulness
will add years to their lives,
and life to their years.
Often the entire matter of

the question of whether your
aging parents should live by
themselves or in your home.
That actually is not the

live miserably. Some, on the
other hand, are quite happy
living under separate roofs,
and to some this is misery.

Warm. human contact with
your aging parents is really
the vitamin they need
whether you are living I'M

1t is certainly possible for
them to feel lonely and iso-
lated even in an upstairs

other hand, they can feel
close to you even If they live
