HUD assists home repair
Owners of homes with
structural defects may. in
some circumstances, be able
to have the defects reme
died at the expense of the
Federal Government.
Under a provision of the
Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974.
the Department of Housing
and Urban
Development
has issued regulations set
ting
up
procedures
by
which certain homeowners
may learn whether their
houses qualify
for
this
assistance.
The following groups of
houses are potentially eligi­
ble. They are:
• Those with mortages
insured under Section 235
of the National Housing Act

• Those with mortgages
insured under Section 203
or Section 221 of the Act on
or after August 1st. 1968,
and before January 1st.
1973, and which are located
in older declining urban
areas.
In addition, the homes
eligible for assistance must
have one or more structural
defects that existed on the
date of the mortgage in­

use and livability as to
create a serious danger to
the life or safety of the
inhabitants of the dwelling,

been expected
to
disclose them.
Also, the
houses must have been at
least one year old at time of

Clarence Mitchell, chief of

are
opposing pressure on the
White House to fire John L.
Powell, Jr., chairman of the
Equal Employment Oppor

In separate letters to the
Washington Post, which has
in effect asked President
Ford to remove Powell
from the EEOC chairman
ship, Mitchell and Dawkins
have urged a correction of
total administrative prob
lems of the agency rather
than the "mere replacement
of one individual."
Each of the two national
leaders have su b m itted
suggestions to the Post.
They both think the prob
able tendency not to con
solidate rases, because the
agency's budget is based on
caseload, can be overcome;
that the commissioners are
in a kind of limbo because

Homeowners who believe
that their homes qualify for

an application with the

jurisdiction over the area in
which the property is lo­
cated.
For mortages insured un

cation must be filed not

their quasi judicial functions
have been transferred to
fed eral judges, leaving
them time to become en
tangled in administrative
matters.
Also they say that the
independence of the general
council of EEOC should be
modified; and that attacks
on agency's lawyers by
some in the Justice Depart
inent are hampering the
anti discrim in atio n work.
Further. Mitchell and Daw
kins suggest that a clear
channel of communications
between EEOC and the
President be established;
and that it is natural for
newer agencies to make
some mistakes, but when
EEOC's errors are com
pared with some of the
older ones, it seems like a
model of efficiency.
In addition. Dawkins calls
on Vice President Rocke
feller to look into the
conflict between the chair
man and the members of
the EEOC commission.

“Hike Bike for the Mentally
Retarded" has been sche­
duled for Sunday, April 6th,
at Portland International
Raceway in Delta Park.
Hikers or bikers may start
their ride anytime between
9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
The event, sponsored by
Portland's Westside School,
the Oregon Association for
R e tard e d
C itizen s
and
various o th e r non p ro fit
service organizations, is an
effort to draw attention to
the needs of our mentally
retarded citizens and to
raise
funds
for
badly
needed programs.
The Hike Bike campaign
calls on volunteer citizens of
all ages to either “hike" or
“bike" for the retarded over
a measured
twenty mile
course around the raceway
at Delta Park. Participants
will
ask
individuals
or
businesses to pledge so
much per mile for each mile
walked or ridden.
Volunteers who wish to
p a rtic ip a te may obtain
pledge forms at any Port
land Public School or at
metropolitan branches of
the U S. National Bank. If
tra n s p o rta tio n to D e lta
Park is a problem, the
Oregon A rm y
N a tio n al
Guard will provide shuttle
services between Portland
high schools and the race
way on the day of the
event.
Youngsters, adults and
entire families are invited
to participate, and local

numerous prizes to those

number of pledges.
The
individual who turns in the
most pledge money will be
given a 10 speed bicycle,
while weekend lodging on
the Olympic Peninsula will
be the prize going to the
family accounting for the
most pledge money.
In
addition to many other
prizes, all participants will
be awarded a prize simply
for taking part in the event.

It happens every
heating season.
Think of it! If your home
is built over an uninsulated
crawl area, you can be losing
as much as 10c per square fool
annually in unnecessary heat
ing costs. That's $100 spent
each year for wasted heat in
any home with 1,000 sq. ft.
of living space.
The answer to cutting fuel
costs and conserving energy
in winter is the same. It's
insulation Actually, insulation
ays for itself all year long.
ou not only save on (he heat
ing bill in winter, but cut the
cost of cooling in summer as
well. And, because you use less
?
energy to do a better heating
and cooling job, you save
critically needed electricity.
If you can save that much
just by insulating underfloors,
imagine what you can save by
insulating your entire home
sidewalls and ceilings, too.
If your home is heated
electrically, and you know that
the insulation in your home is
inadequate, caZZ your nearest
Z’GA'office. Just say that you
want to talk to someone about
insulation We can help you!
Between us we can figure out
where additional insulation
should go, give you an esti
male of what it will cost, and
tell you how much you should
save a year in heating costs.
One more thing If yours
is a single family dwelling and
you heal electrically off POE
lines, Portland General Electric
can help you finance your
insulation project through
the insulation contractor of
your choice.
Your first step is this:
Either write POE at 621 SW
Alder Street. Portland. OR
97205, or phone any POE
office for your free copy of our
brochure, "Insulate Your
Home! We'll mail it Io you,

someone about the insulation
situation m your home, call

necessary arrangements.
