Loans for the purchase of pre viously occupied dwellings and building sites in the past were available only to rural people 62 years of age or older. The act reduces to 3 percent the interest rate on loans made to nonprofit groups for senior citizen rental housing. Pre viously the interest rate on loans for nonprofit groups for rental housing for senior citizens was 3-3/4 percent. The act permits rural housing loans to be made in rural towns with populations of 5,500 or less. Previously the maximum town size was 2,500 population. It au thorizes up to $50 million in. grants for housing for domestic farm labor during the next 4 years. The act continues the authori zation to make direct loans at 4 percent to individual senior citi zens for rural housing, to low income families for minor home repairs, and to low-income fam ilies who build homes under a special self-help housing pro gram. The act also continues the authorization to make direct loans at 3 percent interest to rural families whose buildings have been destroyed or damaged by natural disasters. Under the insured loan pro gram the Farmers Home Admin istration will make and service rural housing loans from funds provided by private investors with payment guaranteed by the Government. Previously such loans were made from funds borrowed from the U. S. Treasury. Loans totaling $300 million can be insured each year for fam ilies in low er moderate income levels.

C., giving continuous inland passage from Trenton, N. J., to Florida for coastwise small craft. Good progress was reported on the beautification project for Franklin Square here in South port. There was a front page feature, complete with picture, of Ran dolph Scott, star of action movies, who had been station at Fort Caswell during World war I.

McGlamery was listed as one of the outstanding candidates for the local CCC basketball team. An explanation of why some yachts tied up here to spend a few days each fall was given in our issue for November 20, 1940. The story said that the Insurance contract on these vessels made a penalty charge if they were South of Capo Fear prior to November 15 each year.

Nursing Homes Required To Meet Standard i Nursing homes in North Caro lina will qualify more readily for Participation in the new Medicare program than nursing homes in states with less stringent li censing requirements, a state lealth official has predicted. Dr. J. w. R. Norton, state lealth director, said nursing tomes licensed by the State Board pf Health already closely adhere to requirements of the federal add program, which becomes ef fective in nursing homes on Jan uary 1, 1967. The nursing home now under construction in Southport is be ing build under state specifica tions. It will be owned and op prated by Mr. and Mrs. Sam Watts. Walter Sellers of Supply Is the contractor. “Nursing homes in North Carolina are considered to be medically-oriented facilities that are under continuing medical su pervision,” the health director remarked. He said licensing standards for nursing homes in North Carolina are "generally considered to be among the high est in the nation.” Dr. Norton pointed out that while North Carolina appears to cave fewer nursing homes than the national state average, “it Is quite likely that many nursing pomes in other states would not lualiiy as nursing homes in North Carolina, “due to the high li censing standards in this state. He said other states consider poarding homes and homes for the aged as nursing care facilities. The state now has 78 licensed nursing homes, with 15 others under construction. Including 13 additional nursing care facilities pperated as chronic long-term aospltal units, the state has some >,819 nursing beds located in 40 rar Heel counties. An estimated 1,515 additional peds will be provided by nursing tomes under construction and 10 pthers now being actively con sidered, Dr. Norton revealed.
