New Legislation To Help Curry County Families Get Housing
ITie U, S. Department of Ag­
riculture’s Farmers Home Ad­
ministration is (tetter equip;>ed
to handle the housing credit
needs of low and moderate in­
com e Curry county fam ilies as
a result of legislation recently
signed into law, acccrding to
Wm, F. Slingsby, Farmers Home
A dm in Istra t ion county su;>ervis-
or.
Slingsliy said the Demonstra-
t i o n Cities and Metropolitan
D evelo|snent Act, signed last
m o n t h by President Johnson
makes It ;>oesible for a broader
range of Curry county fam ilies
to qualify for housing credit un­
der ex|>anded housing Ioan auth­
orities of the Fanners Home
Administration.
The new legislation Slingsby
continued, makes
m ore m e r t-
gage credit available to low and
moderate income fam ilies in
Curry county by Increasing the
level of activity of the agency's
rural liousing loan program.
Here are some of die other
changes in the rural housing loan
program administered Irv Curry
County Farmers Home Adminis­
tration:
—Many Curry county fam ilies
wholiad to go the long route of
planning,contracting and build­
ing a itouse can now buy newly
constructed bull dings. Be fore the
new legislation, these fam ilies
could only purchase previously
occupied buildings.
— Qualified low-incom e fam ­
ilies can now obtain housing
credit from Farmers Home Ad­
ministration on the basis of a
cosigner. Previously, only those
rural persons 62 years and older
qualified for this assistance.
—The new legislation increas­
es from $1, 000 fo $1, 500 the
maximum amount of assistance
die agency can make for em er­
gency repairs or improvements
to owner-occupied rural hour in?
or farm service buildings. This
credit Is not designed to upgrade
a building but only to remove
hazards to the health and the
safety of the family and the
community.
—Rural fam ilies on the verge
of losing their homes through
foreclosure m a y s a v e their
homes if a sound basis can be
developed by the Farmers Home
Administration to r e f i n a n c e
their debts.
—Financial assistance can be
given to construct rental hous­
ing for low and moderate in­
com e rural fam ilies of all age
groups. Previously, rental hous­
ing financed by FHA had to be
occupied by rural people, 62
years and older.
Loans by the Farmers Home
Administration are made to
Currycounty applicants who are
unable to obtain credit they
need fr o m private lenders at

coming 1967 season. These doc­
uments are available at all l i ­

Clerk Changes
Record Process
With the December 13, 1966,
installation of a Recordak sys­
tem in the office of County
Clerk B.L Mather, Curry county
records are now being placed on
m icrofilm.This replaces th e
photostat method in use since
1953.
Curry county's first recording
dates back to September of 1856
when Oregon was still a terri­
tory. This was done laboriously
and sometimes beautifully in
longhand until January of 1908
when a typewriter was brought
into use. typing was continued
from that tim e until the 1953
installation of photostat equip­
ment.
The present move is an effort
by the County Clerk to save
space in the storage of records
. . . o n e cabinet of microfilm
being sufficient to hold copies
of all the records now in books
in the record room. It is planned
that the old records w ill gradual­
ly be placed on film also.
An additional feature of the
microfilm process is the matter
of security. A copy of each roll
of film w ill be stored with the
State ArchlvLst in Salem to
guard against any possible loss
through local catastrophe.
For anything recorded up to
December 13, 1966, the public
will continue to use the present
books and for instruments re­
corded thereafter a film "view­
er" Is provided for operation by
the customer. The viewer is
easy to operate and any assis­
tance needed w ill be provided
by the Clerk's office.

The Christian Troubadours
have become the nation's num­
ber one country gospel quartet.
The large bus that carries this
group of ambitious young men
has been seen in many cities and
towns in the United States and
same of the largest auditoriums
in the world, including the fam ­
ed Hollywood Bowl J ubilee A ud-
itorium of western Canada, the
Farm Show Arena in Harrisburg,
Penn., the E l l i s Auditorium,
M e m p h is , T enn., the Opera
House, Seattle, Wash., w h e r e
t h e y appeared at the Seattle
Worlds Fair. The list goes on of
outstanding appearances that
have been made by this group
of dedicated young Christian
men who have the song of the
Lard in their hearts.
Uncle Same chose the Chris­
tian Troubadours to present gos­
pel singing to the Armed Forces
in die Pacific War Theatre in
1965. Countries visited were
Japan, Korea,Taiwan, The Phil­
ippines, Okinawa, Guam, Hawaii
and Alaska. This caused the
Troubadours to become
the
m ost-traveled gospel quartet in
the world. Pioneering gospel
singing in this part of the world
was taken in stride by the Troub­
adours who are used to unusual
situations because they are the
most unusual gospel quartet in
the entire field of gospel singing.
The Ttoubadours can now be
seen daily in color on 21 TV
stations, with the world famous
"Chuck Wagon Gang. "
U.S. Savings Bonds
Sales At New High
"Local and national U .S.
Savings Bonds sales are contin­
uing to climb," the Curry coun­
ty Savings Bonds chairman re­
ported here today.
County sales, according to his
report, amounted to $6, 355 for
the month.
The state total for the month
was $2, 252, 462 as compared
with $2, 102, 378 for November
of last year. During the January
through November period of this
year, $30,425, 109 w o r t h of
bonds were sold in the state as
compared with $27,492,142 for
this 11-month period a year ago.
N ationally,$368 m illion worth
of bonds were sold during the
month as compared with $338
m illion last year.
T o t a l holdings of Savings
Bonds nationally are at an a ll-
tim e high of $50 billion.
The chairman said since the
beginning of the Savings Bands
program in May, 1941,more than
$150 bill ion worth of bonds have
been sold. Of this total, about
$ 100bill ion have been redeem ­
ed by owners to make down
payments on homes, to educate
children, to supplement retire-
m e n t income and to cover a
thousand o t h e r day-to-day
needs.
The Savings Bonds program
demonstrates the qualities cf
thrift and patriotism which have
helped make our country great.
$1, 000 or imprisoned not more
than three years. "
This applies to all m ail re­
ceptacles and the m ail in them,
even though the boxes are bought
by c itizens and are their person­
al property, Postmaster Baker
emphasized.
"Pranksters—and especially
children who do not know any
better—should be made to real­
ize the seriousness of their ac­
tions, " the postmaster said. "A
$1, 000 fine or a term in jail is
enough to take the humor out of
any prank. "
Often the thallbox damage is
the work of youths, who do it for
"kicks". And the courts have
shown little sympathy for this
youthful means of expression. In
Michigan, a justice sentenced
two 18 year-olds to 10 days in
jail, including two on a diet of
baby food. The diet specifica­
tion, explained the judge, was
because the youths "acted like
babies. " They were also fined
$25 each plus $15 costs.
In New York state, five youths
were fined $25 each plus resti­
tution or restoration, plus no
driving for an indefinite period,
plus an 8 p. m. curfew, plus a
written analysis by each of a
magazine article entitled "A
Judge gets Tough on Hoodlums."
Two Iowa youths who damaged
39 m ailboxes were required to
personally apologize to e a c h
boxholder in addition to making
repairs or providing a new box.
In Missouri^ three 17 year-
olds lost their ariving privileges,
were given a 9 p. m. curfew, ana
had to report twice weekly to
juvenile authorities. They had
damaged 63 mailboxes.
And in Arkansas, four juven­
iles faced the following: 1-no
driving until further notice, 2-
a 10 p. m . curfew, 3-return to
court in a month with letters
from their school principals re­
porting on grades and attitudes,
4 - full restitution of all damages,
5- wear a sign for 30 days stat­
ing "I have not learned to re­
spect the property of others. "
Angling Rules
