have been reamortized for longer
terms in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida, ac
cording to a statement today by
Julian H. Scarborough, president
of the Federal Land Bank of Col
umbia.
Most of the reamortization ap
plied to Commissioner loans. Mr.
Scarborough said. These loans, he
said, were originally amotized for
relatively short periods and re
quired principal payments that
heavily - encumbered farmers
found impossible to meet. He ex
pressed the belief that reamorti
zation over a longer period of
years would re-establish the
sound the soundness of the loans.
In North Carolina 3,156 loans
have been reamortized; in South
Carolina 2,595; in Georgia 5,737
and in Florida 2,023, making a
total for the four states of 13,511,
Mr. Scarborough said.
Mr. Scarborugh said that ream
ortization of the loans had given
many heavily-indebted farmers
a new lease on life and they are
taking greater interest, in their
properties because of the oppor
tunity to remain on the land and
re-establish their equities.

Familiar Words
Used In Classic
“We call the world we live in
civilized,” says the leading char-j
acter in the curent screen offer
ing. “Yet men are using all their,
energies to destroy one another.]
A little man with an insane am
i
bition has set out to conquer Eur.. 1
ope, not caring that a million I
young men will be killed as a
result.”
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Yet
the speaker isn’t mentioning pres- j
ent-day conditions. He is Thomas I
Mitchell, famous character actor,
currently playing the resolute fa
trer in “Swiss Family Robinson”,!
now showing at the Palace TheaJ
tre; and the “little man” he re-j
fers to is Napoleon—for the per
iled is that of 1811, when the Lit
tle Corporal was threatening the
domination of the whole Euro
pean Continent.
The dialogue is part of Mit- 1
chell’s in the film, when he
makes up his mind to take his
family away from the hectic and
snobbish society lef London and
to seek a new career for them in
far-away Australia.
