Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE Q. What is the proper length of time between the announce ment of an engagement and the wedding? A. There is no definite rule of etiquette regarding this, and the length of time would naturally depend upon circumstances. Usu ally the maximum is six months, and usually a couple anticipating a greater length of "time will postpone the announcement of the engagement until they are fairly sure of the date of their mar riage. Q. How full should the water goblets be poured, and where should they be placed on the table? A. About three-fourths full, and placed above the knives. Q. What apology should one make after a sudden sneeze in public? A. "Pardon me" is sufficient. Q. What should a girl do if her family cannot afford an elabor ate wedding? I A. She can plan a very simple ceremony in her own church, and invite only relatives and a few close friends. College Alumni Boast Big Supply of Millers BRIDGEWATER, Va.

July 23 XSS3 9 Builders I ' Troubles Getting Home Mortgages i NEW YORK CP) Difficulties in financing jnortgages are ac companying scattered slumps in new home construction across the fiation, an Associated Press survey showed Saturday. I Home builders tend to blame the construction letdown on financing troubles. Experts disagree on whether it will be easier pr harder to get a mortgage loan in the future. Only in recent months has con- struction eased off in many cities during the early months of 1953 he biggest construction boom in J.S. history rolled on almost un i -hecked. A whopping 16 billion dollars vorth of construction was listed or the first six months. That pace Equalled the building rate of 1952 when total new construction reached a record 33 Vi billion dol lars. Building Falls This ear . ? But in the first quarter of tftis ; rear, home building failed to hcjld ts own. There were 245,000 new lousing starts in the first three months of this year, compared to 246.500 in the same Deriod last year. Second quarter figures, now being compiled, may show home building lost still more ground in he April-May-June period. I The Associated "Press survey of 22 cities scattered from coast to toast showed 13 of them are strug gling with mortgage money troubles. Eleven cities said new h&me construction either is declin ing or heading for a drop. I Only seven cities said the money rnarket is adequate. A meager three out of 22 reported construc tion still at boom levels. Two oth ers said construction is proceed ing at a normal pace. i In New York, one of the nation's largest building activity centers, construction is heading downward. The number of completed houses has declined from 11,396 in 1951 lo, 10,285 last year. Some Seek Public Projects One big builder believes the 1953 .total will drop under 10,000 in 1953 Unless construction activity gets some help from public housing pro jects. Builders in almost every section of the country blame the home con struction slowdown on financing dif ficulties. Contracts and promoters say banks and other institutions aren't interested in real estate Joans because government and cor poration bond offer, higher interest i-ates. j Many oinciais ot money lenaing institutions, however, deny there is such a thing as "tight money." pthers say the country is under going an adjustment period and that more money will be available .for loans in the future. Here are some of the factors in volved: ; The government has raised the interest rate on G.l. loans from A per cent to 4 "4 per cent. G.I. Loan Increase Disappoints - In several sections of the. country. the increase has disappointed build ers by failing to have any immed iate effect on the amount of mortgage money available. In most areas, borrowers must expect to pay 5 per cent to interest money lenders. 1 The new law extending housing loan guarantees gives the Presi dent the right to order easier terms on moderate priced homes which are bought with guaranteed mort gages. f Before July 1, the required down payment on a $12,000 house was 20 per cent. Under the new law, the president can cut that to 5per tent and extend the repayment beriod from 25 years to 30. The effect of these changes on the mortgage market is hard to judge since opinions of experts vary. Government Could Help f David Picket, president of the Gotham Construction Corp., in New York, looks for a recess in build ing unless the government steps in put says the total number of new houses still will exceed the mil lion mark this year. J In 1952, 1,125,000 new dwellings were started. It wa the fourth ronsecutive year in which the mil lion figure was passed. If 1953' also surpasses that magic total, builders' can mark it down s a very good year. In the pre-war years of 1938. 1939 and 1940. the average was around a half-million housing starts a year. I Some more builders think the ac tual needs for new housing will fun around 750,000 units a year in the future. I Picket declared a building de JUST ARRIVED DINNERWARE : ' I "' BILLINGSLY j ROSE BUD i CHINTZ BUTTERCUP ROSALIE .
