10 COMMANDMENTS
Of Newspaper Reading

1. Read your newspaper every day. Make newspaper
reading daily habit like eating dinner Don't miss
daily inStallment in its story of the world
2 Don't be headIine-happy Headlines give you only
what's on the menu. You can pick your meal from
menu but, for pleasure profit you have to eat it.
g. Don't be page-one-happy. Don't read merely the
first page. Your news may be inside. There's more
news inside than on page one for you, it may be
better news.
f. Don't be one-Subject-hGppy- The one-noters read
their sports crime news or comics for entertainment
Sticking to their chief interests they're picking up
pennies, leaving dollars.
s. Be tGct-Seeker. Look to the news columns first,
for your facts Then play the game of checking up on
the columniStS and editorial writer's. You may be
the better thinker
6. Read Nth both eyes, Note qualifying words and
attributionS. Don't take a charge for conviction a
rumor for fact plan for an accomplishment.
7. Don't be a reading coward 1t takes knowledge
of both sides to make up your mind easily Don't be
afraid to read opinion at complete variance with your
own
g. Get out of your reading rut. Use your newspaper
to give yourself a mental jog. Read at least one
thing daily that's completely apart from your nor
NAL interests.
g. Do your shopping at home Whether you want food,
clothes, a roof your head you'll find the best
buys in advertising columns of your newspaper.
10. ReIar and enjoy the tun Your newspaper doesn't
forget there's lighter side to life and neither should
you. Try the comics. the crossword puzzle and the
word game.

For months, the background Of
the housing and money mar
kets has been pointing toward
this summary. On one side, the
demand for homes has been
declining and cutting into the
demand for mortgage money.
Although some increase in
homebuilding Is anticipated
this year, not even the most
optimistic expects a renewed
BODYBUILDING upsurge soon. On
the other side, the supply of
credit available for home pur-
chases has been mounting. Saw
ings are growing and will be
piling into savings banks, saw
ings and loan associations, etc.
This combination Of q de-
creased demand for mortgages
and an increased supply of
credit for mortgages is made to
order for the homebuyer. Saul
B. Klaman, research director
Of the National Assn. of
Mutual Savings Banks says:

expands, the downward pres

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Easier, Cheaper MORTGAGES
" SYLVIA PORTER

For the first time in all
the years since the end Of
World War II. the supply of
money available for mortgages
is rising above the demand
for mortgages, and in these ear
ly months of 1861 the mort
gage market will be distinctly
in favor Of you, the borrower
Of funds to build or buy a
home.
Unless you are old enough
to have been q homeowner 20
or IS years ago, you have had
no personal experience with
q mortgage market Of this sort
and few families now think
ing Of buying q home were
adults In the prewar period.
Thus. to the overwhelming ma
jority Of Americans, what I'm
writing about here is really
new and Of vital bread.and-
butter significance. For this
means that:
/. Lenders will be seeking
your mortgage in these months
for the simple reason that they
have abundant funds to place
in mortgages and they want
the interest they can earn on
q loan to you.
2. The Stickily high mort
gage rates Of 1959-60 are tend
ing down. There Is no doubt
that II you are Q responsible
credit risk. you can get q mort
gage at o perceptibly lower
rate than 0 year ago, six
months ago or even three
months ago.
Charges on Way Down
Today's mortgage rates may
appear high, and they are high
In comparison with the histor-
ically cheap charges Of the
early 1950s. but you might as
well face the probability that
rates are not going to sink
back to those exceedingly low
levels. The important point is
that FHA-insured mortgage
loan charges are on the way
down and 30 are costs Of con-
ventionally-fin anced mort
cages. The average drop from
the start Of 1860 Is about n
per cent. While the National
Association Of Real Estate
Boards report the average rate
is still slightly over 8 per cent,
1t also reports q rising number
Of loans at 5A and 51a per
cent.
3. Most lenders expect you
to bargain for favorable terms
in this type Of market. Lend
ing institutions across the land
say they are accepting borrow
ers they would have turned
down only q few months back
and are liberalizing contract
terms.
Z. II you have more than
the minimum down payment
for your house, you can get
additional rate concessions. If
you can make q down payment
Of IS per cent or more, you're
in an excellent bargaining posi-
ton.
No Building Upsurge Seen
5. The months ahead may
be the best time in years to
borrow to modernize your
house. An objective of the
Kennedy Administration Is
lower rates on home modern
ization loans and, as the lower
rates appear, you should take
advantage Of them.
None Of this Is RueSswork
