Greenstooro.-^Appllcatlons for
FHA insured mortgages totaling
$13,163,400 on 3,045 homes In
North Carolina were received by
the Federal Housing Administra
tion during 1939, according to
Mr. Aubrey G. McCabe, State Di
rector. The year’s totals, Mr. Mc
Cabe said, represented a 20 per
cent Increase In number and near
ly 18 per cent increase lit volume
over the aggregate for 1938,
which was a banner year for the
Federal Housing Administration.
Last year’s applications for
FHA Insured mortgages totaling
$11,390,700 on 2,613 homes,
were received and the 1937 to
tals were 1,606 applications for
mortgage aggregating $7,398,-
376. Since the beginning of opera
tions in the summer of 1934,
the Federal Housing Administra
tion has received appllcatloha to
Insure 10,088 mortgages totaling
$42,802,936 on homes in North
Carolina, Mr. MoCabe reported.
Of the total applications re
ceived during 1939, nearly 70
per cent were for mortgages on
new homes, a substantial increase
over approximately 55 per cent of
the 1938 total and nearly 42 per
cent in 1937.
“The above figures are very
gratifying to the Federal Housing
Administration in North Caro
lina,” M r. McCabe declared.
“They are Indicative of the fact
that North Carolina families are
desirous of owning soundlynbullt
homes which are modern In eve
ry detail, and which are located
in highly desirable neighbor-
In other words, homes
from their very concep
tion, are planned as a part of the
Federal Housing Administration
program for home ownership, and
which assures the owner of the
best value for his home invest
ment.”
Mr. MoCabe took over tne di
rection of the Federal Housing
Administration operations I n
North Carolina last June, and
after having served as a field rep
resentative for Federal Hooislng
Administration in Its infancy. He
lar.er resigned that position to en
ter the private mortgage field as
a broker representing several
large Insurance firms and other
mortgagees which handled Feder
al Housing Administration insur
ed mortgages. Since he took over
his present post, the Federal
Housing Administration

On Wednesday, January 17,
Bill Barker, assistant extension

ty to conduct three demonstra
tions on thinning of timber. These
demonstrations 'will be conducted
at the farms of N. C. Andrews,
Boomer (just off highway 18) at
10:00 a. m.; J. M. Pardue, Ron-

(1 mile from Purlear po:: office)
at 3:30 p. m. The public is cor
dially inrited to attend one or all

thcie demonstrations is to en-
. courage the farmers to thin their
wood land Instead of clear cut
ting as most farmers do. A thinn
ed tract of timber will produce a
crop from 10 to 16 years ahead
of normal - growth! and produc

Many farmers are also anxious
to earn credit on the Agrlcnltural
Conservation Program—’by doing
timber stand improvement work,
and these demonstrations will
aid those desiring to do this
work. In that. It will show them
