Wanted ONE ACRE OF LAND IN THE CITY LIMITS NEAR WATER AND SEWER LINE TO BUILD CLUB FOR VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS POST Contact Cecil J. Murray Twin 0*|i| Because of thfe drastic slash in the proposed budget for FHA along with 'other agriecQtUral groups, many farmers in Alle ghany and Ashe counties will be badly hampered in their work. * The Appropriations Committee recommendations for administra tive funds reduced the Presi dent’s recommendation of $30, 000,000 to $18,000,000 or a cut of 40 per cent. The president’s recommendations for* the rest of the program, FO loans and mort gage loans have also been great ly reduced. Officials pointed out this week that unless some of -this can be restored by the Senate before the bill gets the final approval by Congress, the program Will be so reduced that it will be im possible to render the service for which it stands. Not only will much of the planning and super vision work now being carried out be done away with, but loans will also be cut down. A tentative survey reveals that there are a number of veterans now taking advantage of this program as well as many others which it is helping to re-establish in their work. At the present time there are 28(3 farmers being served by the Alleghany-Ashe unit. Figures reveal that in Ashe there are Inactive loans; in Al leghany, 62; a total of 30 tennagt purchase farmers of the two counties and 43 others. Figures further reveal that in the two counties 80 loans total ling $12,735 were made for 1945-1946 as compared to 145 loans totalling $27,735, or an in crease of 81 per cent in number and 117 per cent in total amount,' thus showing the increasing need. Loans made through this pro gram are to farmers, who are unable to secure adequate credit elsewhere. _ Since the program has been activated in Alleghany and sAshe counties, a total of 897 farm fam ilies have been served and this number included 604 that have paid up loans. Farmers have not only been helped to re-establish themselves and become home owners, but to improve their standards of living as well as health through the program.
