Of course, I had heard persons talking about the FHA and the new plan for home finan cing, hut I didn't pay much at tention to it. But we decided that this might be an opportune time to build our home, so I went to the FHA office to see about it. , "My first surprise was in be ing informed that the FHA did not make the loans. I was told that banks and other lending agencies made the loans, and that each lending agency must be approved by the FHA before it could parti cipate in the program. After get ting more information concerning the plan, I went to see my banker. I was surprised again in finding that the bank was glad to discuss my plans, and did everything pos sible to help me. "I was told to have my plans and specifications prepared by some one competent to do this work, although it was not neces sary that I employ an architect. It seems that the FHA office has an architectural division, which looks oyer the plans to see that property standards are met, and also checks up on cost estimates. This 6eemed like a good proposition to me, be cause I wouldn't knew much about costs. "I then asked my banker what it was going to cost me to get the loan. At this point I discovered that the FHA controls the amounts that may be charged, and they certainly are reasonable. In fact they are considerably less than I had thought. The cost for title search and recording or filing fees would be about $30. Then their initial charge for handling the loan is variable, but cannot exceed 2 4 per cent of the amount of the loan in the case of new construction. In refinancing a loan this charge cannot exceed 1 per cent. .

We put some of our savings into the deal, and applied for a loan of $3000 to run for 20 years. So he bank went to work then to figure just how much we would have to pay each month. We esti mated our taxes at $120 a year and hazard insurance at $18 a year, and here are the figures: "1. Interest and principal re duction. $19. SO. "2. Taxes (112 of annual to tal), $10. 3. Hazard insurance (112 of annual total). $1.50. "4. Service charge (4 of 1 per cent on monthly balance), $1.23. "5. Mortgage insurance of 1 per cent of loan). $1.25. "Total monthly payment, $33.78. "You can see that the FHA plan is complete in every respect, be cause each monthly payment in cludes all fixed charges against the property. The small periodic payment for taxes and those other things are held by the bank, and when they become due there is the money already available. And you will notice that the total is only $33. 78 a month. Just think of it, here we are paying $40 a month in rent, when for a smaller amount we can be buying a home."

Diphtheria Peril Remains, Warned Few Cases Reported, Need For Immunizing Exists Says Health Officer The menace of diphtheria to young children in Marion county has not disappeared despite the fact that extremely few cases of the disease have been reported in recent years. Dr. Vernon A. Doug las, county health officer, said yesterday. He urged that parents continue to have pre-school chil dren immunized to this disease, which often results in serious complications if not in death. "People do have a false feeling of security during periods when diphtheria are absent," Dr. Doug las explained. "Interest in immun izations has dropped to about 16 per cent of the pre-school children in this county whereas we'd like to have at least 50. jer cent im munized; ideally, all children should be immunized to diph theria." The percentage o! immuniza tion at its peak in Marion county was 21 per cent. In 1930. In 1924 there were 265 cases of diphtheria reported; last year there were none- Dr. Douglas expressed a fear that 1936 would prove to be the return of a six - year diphtheria cycle noted in this county. The last wave of the disease occurred in 1930. Prompt administration of the single toxoid immunization treat ment to all children under five years of age, either by the health department or by the family phy sician, was urged by Dr. Douglas. These immunization treatments are given free each Saturday from 8:30 to 10 a. m. at the health cen ter, 201 Masonic building.
