More than |S,000,OOO,OOO has
been loaned lo more than a mil
lion distreeaed home owners in
the United States since June,
1933 by the Home Owners’ Loan
Corporation. Of that amount 331,-
394,471.12 has been loaned In
North Carolina to approximately
12,500 home owners. Of the to
tal amount loaned in North Caro
lina $80,508.43 has been loaned
to 30 distresBod home owners in
Wilkes county.
Under the Home Loan Act a
fifteen year loan at five per cent
was granted distressed home
owners while the holders of
their defaulted mortgages receiv
ed HOLC bonds backed by the
Federal Treasury.
The work of the Home Owners'
Loan Corporation has shifted
from ‘‘lending’’ to ‘‘collecting’’
and the job is far from being
completed, but the State Manager
of this Agency reports that there
has been no foreclosure out of
the 30 loans made in Wilkes
county. There have been some de
faults by home owners in every
part of the country and fore
closures have been started. How
ever, officials state that collec
tions have’been unusually good
over the entire country and that .

The Incomplete returns show
ed McDonald leading in 34 of the
state’s 100 coanliee. all of them ■
in the east except his native
county, Forsyth and nearby Alle
ghany.
In the first primary, he ran
only about 4,000 votes behind
Hoey, with two other candidate*
in the race, LieuL Gov. A. H.
Graham and John A. McRae,
Charlotte lawyer.
Hoey. hailed by his fellow
townsmen as "governor” Unght
his Methodist Sunday school cla*a
at Shelby as usnal. In thg la*t
15 years he has missed this task
only a few times, and althongli
he made 90 speeches before thd
first primary, he was atoent
from his class on only one v'eek-
end. • , i'
From all parts of the sUto
congratulatory messages shower
ed upon him. So frequent ^wdro
the telephone calls that tn ex

his eating almost continuously to
