chased by the Salem school district for the purpose of con
structing an administration building. Among the four
houses located thereon is one erected in 1841 by Methodist
missionaries and occupied by Rev. Gustavus Hines on
October 28, 1842, when Jason Lee called a meeting there
to sustain Oregon Institute, which inspired Willamette
university. This dwelling was the second or third to be
built in Salem.
Vacation of their present quar

new building will be ready by
that time.
The transaction was handled

Interest Rales
(Continued from Page 1)
The higher FHA rates are ef
fective immediately. Those of
the VA go into effect Tuesday.
Increase Loong Sought I
The increase in rates has long
been sought by banking and
real estate groups. The agita
tion Increased after the govern
ment floated last month a new
billion-dollar bond issue at S
per cent, the highest rate for
such bonds in 20 years.
Veterans Administrator Carl
R. Gray, Jr., said the VA in
crease was ordered "reluctant
ly and only as a last resort"
after higher rates elsewhere
"have resulted in a drylng-up
of the supply of 4 per cent
money, making it Increasingly
difficult for veterans to secure
homes on that basis.
Braces Money Market
For the FHA, Commissioner
Guy T. O. Hollyday, said the
new rate will remove "the in
decision in the mortgage money
market" and that "the industry
can now resume its activity."
There had been a widespread
slowing down in the making ol
home loans in atlclpation of the
higher interest rates.
Gray said that even at the
iVz per cent rate "the GI loan
will still give the veteran fin
ancing at a lower cost than
other borrower groups can
usually obtain."

According to Frailer, his or

public health Jurisdictions as
well as to medical licensing
boards. The tests are admin

have shown that such a pro

Frazler indicated that new de

Frazler said that the great
