Wassam of the Salem credit re porting 'bureau from the federal department of commerce. . The statement points oat that self Interest demands that com munities take action to prevent foreclosures, and shows how the Joint Welfare committee of the Philadelphia Real Estate board found a way to do this, and how the board helped in one way and another 85 per cent of 3.500 cases heard In the past three years. The committee was set np to give the public free advice on real estate and financing problems. It consists of nine members appoint ed Jointly by the president of the real estate board and the presi dent of the League of Building and Loan associations. The mem bers serve without pay. At Its weekly meeting, the com mitte heard from 25 to 125 ap plicants for aid, these including home owners threatened with foreclosure because the mortga gees refuse to renew mortgages coming due; home owners in dan ger because, due to unemploy ment, they are unable to pay tax es or Interest; and home owners whose lowered Incomes force them to seek ways of refinancing their properties. Some seek redress from exorbitant financing charges. A member of the committee helps each applicant fill ont a blank giving essential personal data and information on the prop erty, and on this basis the com mittee determines disposition of the case. Where circumstances seem to justify such action, it re quests the mortgagee to cooperate in working out a solution that will tide the mortgagor over the emer gency. As most hpme loans there are made by building and loan asso ciations, the committee Is able at times to recommend a "reinstate ment" which provides for pay ment by the lender of. taxes in ar rears and reduces monthly pay ments to the borrower to the amount he would pay if a new mortgage had been drawn up to cover the unpaid balance of the mortgage plus the amount of tax es and other advances.

SYMPHONY SIX MILLION AT GRAND Ricardo Cortez, Irene Dunn Featured in Romance of Gotham's Ghetto The world's greatest screen plays and novels are simple stor ies out of life. Fannie Hurst believes that this is true. All of the great books, all of the great plays, have been based on this formula. Bearing this In mind. Miss Hurst wrote a story of the Amer ican ghetto and called.lt "Sym- pnony or six Million. Now, as a picture, this poig nant story of real people Is show ing at the Grand theatre, co-fea turing the RKO-Radlo Pictures' favorites, Ricardo Cortes and Irene Dunne. The part Cortes plays, is that of a boy of the New York Ghetto who overcomes his sordid envir onment to become a famous, sur geon and minister to the wants of his people. Rich in sympathy, the character is human to the core andji one to bring forth an inspired performance. Miss Dunne's role la that of a teacher who brings to the tots of the teeming Ghetto the life and color of the world beyond their push-cart horizon. Miss Hurst makes no rnmnrA. mises in her stories. She writes the truth, as she sees it, and paints her characters from life. Her backgrounds are real. The film is a literal trnifinn of the story by Miss Hurst and maintains the same level of au thenticity and drama which char acterizes her works. Gregory L cava directed Symphony of Six Million".
