Does Not Make Housing Loans Clarification of the National Housing Act, in order to avoid a common impression among some people that the Government itself lends money to citizens who want to build or buy newly constructed homes, or modernize home they now live in, is made by the Fed eral Housing Administration. The money for these purposes is loaned by financial institutions on the basis of Government insur ance for the lender. As one Fed eral Housing Administration offi cial puts it “the Government simply stands behind the financial institu tion making the loan.” The Government insurance system involves Government inspections of construction and modernization from the original planning through to completion of the project, thus assuring the individual of Govern ment approved value. The Government insurance fea ture as worked out in the revised National Housing Act now effec tive, is the provision that has o pened the possibilities of home own ership to more people on a more attractive basis than ever before. Womans Club Has Meeting At Hollister The Hollister Woman’s Club held the May meeting in the home of Mrs. A. M. Shearin on Tuesday, May 24th. Mrs. B. C.

Mrs. Vaughan is supplying the flowers and shrubs for the garden. Everyone of these exhibitors are making every effort to make their booths most attractive and it is expected that when the exposition opens Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. the exhibit spaces will be a perfect arena of beauty, educational and instructive features.
