‘RATHER BE RIGHT'
Henry Clay, American
statesman who was instru-
mental in preparing the
Missouri Compromise (1820)
and the Compromise of 1850,
retorted; “I had rather be right
than be president," after a U.S.
senator declared support of the
Missouri Compromise would
ruin Clay's chances for
president.

Revisions in
Rural Housing
Law Explained
"The purpose of this news
article Is to explain some new
revisions In the Rural Housing
Law and to let people know that
we still have plenty of money to
build, repair , or purchase
houses," said ftank B. Stroud,
County Supervisor, Farmers
Home Administration.
“The Mg change,' explained
Stroud, "la the maximum ad-
justed Income allowable has
been raised to $9100.00." Pre-
viously $8,000 had been the
maximum, VThis new maximum
should permit a good many more
families to ba eligible now,"
said Stroud.
The total Income per family
Is used in determining the gross
adjusted income. This means
that the wife s Income Is used In
determining the gross adjusted
income. However, only one-half
of her Income,, Is used. Addi-
tionally, expenses actually paid
for the care of children ami
certain other dependents are
deductible If the person making
the payments does so to enable
him or her to be gainfully em-
ployed.
The other deductions used In
arriving at the adjusted gross
Income are 5% of the total for
social security and $300 for
each minor dependent. "This
is another Mg help In qualify-
ing applicants for this new in-
come limitation of $9100. Brief-
ly, these ere that a person b»
without a house or their house
la not worth repairing due to
obsolescence or- state of con-
struction. If a person rents, but
doss not own Ms house this
makss blip eligible on this re-
quirement, pointed out Stroud.
Additionally, the house must not
contain mors than 1400 square
feet of living area unless the
family Is unusually largs.Next,
the family must not be able to
borrow the ir.eney from normal
sources of credit at rates and
terms he can reasonably be
expected to repay. "It should
be5- emphasized here," said
8trood, "that we do not compete
with private cfedlt at all, but
extend or augment where pri-
vets credit la unable to lend."
* A family 4s expected to use all
of their resources towards ac -
qulrlng their home. Present
regulations do prohibit buying
a house that la over five years
old unless It la a most advan-

BIGGEST WORRIERS , -
Austin — Who are the

Psychology students.
