FHA LOAN PLAN T . BOON 10 BUYER SAYS DIRECTOR Portland "tinder wartime conditions, when new home con struction has-been sharply cur tailed by material shortages the maintenance of a sound finan cing system for older home properties has become increas ingly important," Folger John son, state director of the Fed eral Housing Administration, said today. "For most civilian families who now find it necessary to move into new quarters exist ing homes represent the chief supply of housing available," he pointed out. "In such cases, if families desire to purchase houses, the FHA insured mort gage plan offers a sound, pro tected financing method, with many protective safeguards for the buyer. "Under the FHA plan, the mortgage debt on the home is steadily reduced by equal monthly payments, which also include interest '(limited to a maximum of iVi per cent on re ducing balances) and the FHA mortgage insurance premium of one-half of 1 per cent. These payments also include amounts sufficient to accrue real estate taxes and hazard insurance premiums in advance, thereby protecting home owners against default- on these important items. "Under the FHA plan, exist ing homes which meet FHA minimum standards as to phy sical soundness and location are eligible for insured mortgages covering up to 80 per cent of the FHA valuation of the prop erty and may run for as long as 20 years."

This month their answer is .at hand. For it is already "a hundred years from now." The i.Young Men's Christian Asso ciation founded in 1844 by George Williams, then t dry goods clerk of 22, and eleven associates is now celebrating 'its centenary. Its first hundred ears to be sketchy, indeed las meant world growth . . . 10,000 YMCAs, everywhere . . . 2,500,. 000 participants in the United States and Canada alone . . . first organized social work in Amer ica for young men, boys, sol diers and sailors, railroad men, Negro men and boys. And many other "firsts." Both bas ketball and volleyball most popular of all indoor sports were born in YMCA gyms. Now today the YMCA means so many vital things it's fiossiblc to give only a sample, t is, for instance, doing out standing work among the young men who are prisoners of war and there are six millions of them! That alone would justify any organization, and as took place at Queen Victoria's hands knighthood for its' founder. What the YMCA will mean another "hundred years from now" none may foresee exactly. No doubt its second century will surpass our imagination as its first century outran the dreams of George Williams and his friends. This much we know its foundations of mind-body-spirit are broad enough for anything. About that, there's do "supposing." And the-strength of the YMCA is the strength of young men working together in all lands, among all peoples, under all religions. 1 hat's a kind of strength to outlast the centuries however many' I (tat. rC 'M' Y"W?:i'V"VV.J I' f1..;..-. . n-.. r-. i,,,;,; y - tf vASi '-J (Acmm Radio-Telephoto) INVASION CASUALTIES WhDe casualties were reported comparatively light for Allies, some men no more than stepped ashore In France before they were bit.
