HOB ART ANDERSON Handicapped Boy Learns To Carve Recently much has been written concerning the rehabi litation of handicapped per sons, and their place in our economy. It is noteworthy that the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown has helped num erous handicapped people to find an outlet for creative abi lity. The carving department, headed by Mrs. Murrial Star rs n, has served these people best, perhaps. One recent example is Hob art Anderson, whose picture accompanys this article. Hobart, who lives nearBlairs ville, Ga? has (or the past ten years, been unable to walk, due to the crippling effects of arthritis. From his brother's wife, he learned of the possibility of whittling something to earn money. Up to that time he said, "I'd made many an old corn-cob pipe, and sourwood whistle." He chose to try something useful as well as ornamental - tea tiles---and after three weeks of trying, following sug gestions for improvement, he began to turn out saleable dog wood and trillium tea tiles! Destroy Still Sheriff Claude Anderson re ports destroying a still made of aluminum and dn on the head of Junaluska last Satur day. No arrests were made in the raid on the SO gallon still.

SEND RENEWAL OF SUBSCRIPTION ' BEFORE EXPIRATION DATE ON ADDRESS Additional Finds Available For Fam Hovsiag An additional $50 million has been made available m the Farmers Home Administra tion (or farm housing loans, Mr. Robert D. Bruce, the agency's county supervisor announced today. He said that the new loan funds assure an adequate sup ply of this type of credit for eligible farm families during the balance of the fiscal year. Loans made so for this year plus those being processed had practically exhausted the funds previously available. Farm housing- loans are made throughout the rural areas of the United States. The loans provide farm fami lies with an opportunity to acquire an adequate house and efficient service buildings. Applications for farm hous ing loans may be made at the local office of the Farmers .Home Administration, Mr. Bruce said. The loans bear 4 percent interest and are repayable over periods up to 33 years. "Hie major demand in Cherokee County is for loans to construct and modernize farm houses, and most of the funds are used for new con struction. Improvements financedwith the loans Include the instal lation of central heating, and pressure water supply ^sys tems, the addition of bath rooms and the modernization of kitchens. Many local farmers also use the loans to adjust their ser vice buildings to the changing requirements of agriculture. A frequent example in this area, Mr. Bruce said, is the conversion of obsolete diary facilities by the construction of a modern milking parlor and loafing barn. To be eligible, a farmer must own a farm that will annually produce for sale or home use at least $400 worth of commodities based on 1944 prices and be of sufficient value to adequately secure the loan. In addition, he mustlack the resources needed to ob tain credit elsewhere and have sufficient income to pay farm operating and family living expenses and meet payments when due on his debts.
