WILL SUBSCRIBE TO STOCK IN HOME LOAN BANK Armf ield Attends Meet ing In Greensboro Tuesday Night WILL HELP LOCALLY At a meeting at the King Cotton hotel In Greensboio Tuesday night, approximately 160 representatives of building and loan associations from a dozen counties gavo their unquali fied support to the new federal home loan bank system in conformi ty with a motion presented by Leon Cash, of Winston-Salem. C. G. Arm field, secretary of the local Elkin- Jonesvllle association was among the representatives. O. K. La Roche, of Raleigh, super visor of the building and loan di vision of the state insurance de partment, was the chief speaker, who explained the workings of the home loan bank, which will make loans through local lending agencies such as building and loan associations, and not direct, except in very rare cases, as has been the general opin ion.

The bank, Mr. Armfield said, will have the tendency to relieve the home owner who wants to hold his home, but is financially unable to do so.

The fe'deral home loan banks, Mr. Armfield said, will provide an out let )or the handling of real, estate first mortgages, and will occupy, for the mortgage companies, the posi tion of the federal reserve banks, to its members.

BUSINESS HORIZON IS BRIGHTER LOCAL MERCHANTS THINK Better Spirit Prevails As Majority Stop Talking Depression ARE OPTIMISTIC With both the Chatham Manufac turing company and the Elkin Furni ture company running full time with nice orders, and the newspapers carrying daily stories of improved business throughout the nation, the bug of optimism has apparently bit ten local merchants and business men, the majority voicing the opin ion that better times aro slowly but surely coming back. Six months ago only a tale of woe greeted the listener when the topic of business was brought up, every one seemingly of the opinion that business was on a slide which had no bottom but today a more cheer- I ful outlook is in evidence locally. Many Elkin business men, when approached on the subject, have stated that business has been better and although not yet anything to get excited about, pointed to the fact that, the business horizon is be ginning to show signs of light. Some have wanted to place the credit for the upturn upon the nomi nation of Franklin D. Roosevelt for president, while others are firm in their belief that Mr. Hoover is sole ly responsible. However, regardless of who or what is responsible, the fact is there that locally people are talking better times —a sure sign that'confidence is returning and that sooner or later prosperity will find that corner it has hunted so long— and > ill turn it.
