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." Mr. Johnson pointed
out that on such a loan, the
When the news got about
London Town that on a certain
June day an even dozen young
men had formed another Asso
ciation, doubtless some asked
jwith a shrug, "What difference
.will it make a hundred ;carj
I from now?"
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

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
