Easy Cure

It's clear that the young lady
Is perfectly right: she made the
correct play, and I assume she
made her game contract.
The defense can get q Club,
q ruff, and one diamond trick,
but then South can lead q
trump to dummy's ten in order
to discard two hearts on the
good clubs. South's line Of
play should gladden. the heart

The point is that South goes
down If she draws three rounds
OF trumps. East can then refuse
the first two clubs, and the

courage lending agencies to be
more liberal than they would
be ordinarily, since they are
protected against loss. So you
can usually obtain mortgages
with lower down payments and
over longer periods than you
might get otherwise.
There are several disadvan-
tageS to Government insured
mortgages. The Government
rules are inflexible, and a lend
er who might be inclined to
give you more favorable mort
gage terms cannot do so be-
cause he must follow the
book"
Conventional mortgages. At
almost any time, you can get
a mortgage of this type. 1t is
one the banker makes at his
own risk. If money is scarce,
the interest rates may be high
er than those permitted on the
Government insured mort
cages. More often, lending in
Stitutions charge the same rate
you would pay for interest and
insurance under the FILA plan.
Sometimes you may even get
a conventional mortgage at a
lower rate.
Among the advantages of
conventional loans is that the
lender can use his own judg-
ment as to the value of your
property, based upon his inti-

instead of the few weeks gen.
orally required with Govern
ment- sponsored mortgages.
And there are fewer forms to
fill out with a conventional

Other desirable mortgage fea-
lures. which you should get if
you can, include: -
Pre- payment clause. Some
lenders will let you pay off
the face amount of the mort
gage at any time without pe-S
nalizing you. {
"Open-end" feature. When
making an original mortgage,
some lending institutions will
agree to consider advancing
you amounts in the future to
improve the property, provided
the total loan does not exceed
the original amount of the
mortgage.

adjustment. Owning a home
probably could give you its
traditional satisfactions a
feeling of security.
What Can You Afford?
How much you will have to
pay each month under a mort
gage plan will depend upon
these factors:
Amount of your down pay
ment. Obviously, the more you
pay of the full price of the
house originally, the less you
will owe, If you invest $4,000
of your own in a $4,000 house
your monthly payments will be
much less than if your down
payment is only $4,000.
Interest rate. While rates be-
tween lenders in any locality
do not vary widely, one insti-
tuition may charge half a per-
centage point less than an
other. Over a 20-year period,
this can amount to hundreds.
1t may add several dollars to
what you will pay each month
for the entire 20-year period.
Length of the mortgage
Some institutions will not lend
for longer than 20 years. 9th
ers will make loans for 80
years. The longer period of
time you are given to pay off
the mortgage, the less you will
have to pay each month.
What About Mortgages?
Two basic kinds of mortgages
are generally available at pres
ent. Both work on the monthly
repayment principle. They are:
Government insured mort
gage. Under certain conditions
the Federal Housing Admins
tration or Veterans Admins
tration insure or guarantee
that a bank or other lending
institution will be protected if
you fail to make your pay
mentS as specified. Thus the
bank will recover part or all
of any balance you are un-
able to pay.
These Federal programs en-

you deduct local taxes from
your income tax as well as the
interest you pay on your mort
gage.
Lending institutions also
make it attractive with mort
cages you can pay off month
by month, like rent.
AS a result, when you buy
a home you generally get more
for the money you spend on
housing and you own it free
and clear after 20 or 25 years,
when your last mortgage pay
ment has been made.
Good Way to Save
Gradually paying off a mort
gage. therefore, is one of the
best possible ways of saving.
Moreover. you pay a lower rate
of interest on the money you
borrow than on any other loan
you can make.
Owning a home has many
definite emotional advantages.
1t gives you a feeling of Sc
curity-a sense of belonging to
your community. which renters
seldom or never achieve. It
gives you freedom. You can
improve your property without
fearing that the landlord will
force you to move next year
or won't like what you have
done. You can work around
your house, making necessary
repairs knowing that you-and
not someone else will benefit
from your efforts.
But home ownership is not
for everyone. Even if you can
easily afford. to buy a house,
you may not be the type.
To determine in which cate
CORY you belong in here are
some questions you should ask
yourself:
care you reasonably secure in
your job?
care you likely to stay in the
same town where you live now?
0Can you take financial re-
Sponsibilities without undue
worry?
oWill you be happy living in
ont place for a long period
perhaps Is or more years?
care you willing to give your
house your personal attention?

What Colgate W. Darden, jr, and
other members Of Virginia'S State Board
of Education had to say about the made
quacy of college courses leading to
degrees should cause a stir in higher
educational circles - and, we hope, a
tightening up on the awarding Of college
degrees.
The former Governor Of Virginia
and former president Of the University
of Virginia blamed the colleges for what
he bluntly called the unbelievable
mediocrity" in the teaching profession.
He told fellow board members: you've
got big stake In this because teacher
pay scales are based on degrees. You've
got faculties with string Of degrees
behind their names that is little short Of
a fraud" And Board President Leonard
G. Muse concurred, stating: We've
reached the point where we're assuming
that every holder of PhD. is compe-
tent teacher. That's whale Of an as
sumption" third board member, DR..
William H. McFarlane, declared some
school administrators would rather not
Rave PhD'S on their STATS, because Of
inadequate training"
DR.. McFarIane haStened to state
that the board hopes to be able to do
something about this deplorable Situa-
ton. An advisory committee has been
asked to study the degree problem and
make recommendations for assuring
that the recipient of a higher degree
really is qualified to use 1t after his
name. Until this assurance can be had,
school boards throughout the State

CONGRESS VS.. Conqress

what Congress says and what 1t
does are not always in consonance.
However, Postmaster General Day has
q right to assume that Congress meant
what it said in 1858 when it passed the
Postal Policy Act. This act DEGREES that
postal rates and fees shall be adjusted
from time to time as may be required
to produce the amount of revenue ap-
proximately equal to the total cost Of
operating the postal establishment,
less the amount deemed to be attribut-
able to the performance Of public
services. :"
What has happened since the adop-
ton Of this policy? The gap between
the cost Of running the postal service
and the income from users of the
service has widened alarmingly. Mr.
Day told the House Post once Com
mittee that the deficit now is approach
ing 5000 million year At the present
rate of increase, the deficit before long
is likely to reach a billion dollars a
year. Such enormous shortages even
tually could wreck the Post once
Department, Mr.. Day warned.
The Postmaster General was testify
ing in support Of President Kennedy'S
request for higher postal rates, including
a fve-cent fee for flrSt-cIass mail. Mr.
Days plea was received favorably by
Committee Chairman Murray Of Ten
neSSee, but when the chairman urged his
colleagues to take prompt and favor
able" action, there was noticeable lack
of enthusiasm. This is regrettable, but
not surprising. For in the past Con-
gress usually has shown remarkable
reluctance to face the politically touchy
problem Of raising postal rates. the
Postal Policy Act Notwithstanding. 1t
will probably take a lot Of pressure from
the White House to cause Congress to
practice the deficit-reducing policy that
1t breaches
