WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.— !
The FHA has grown, in its five |
years of mortgage insurance opera- (
tions, to be the key factor in the
nation's new borne financing and !
construction. Administrator Stewart [
McDonald said today.
Early calculations indicate, al-
though final estimates are not yet
available, that pbout one-third of
he non-farm dwelling units con- 1
structed during 1919 were financed fill p . —
with FHA-insured mortgages. This Hplrj SlinflrW Ffir
waa a marked increase over 1938, / *
which iq tprn gained over 1937.
In the small home field, the
FHA's position is even nwre domi-: -
nant. Mr. McDonald estimated that FoneraI services will - be held
approximately two-fifths of all prl- Suflday at 2:30 for Wa,_

Another oil test of interest to
many in this area is the Gillespie,
Harper and Knappenberger well on
the Oliver Loving Estate, li miles
southeast of Jermyn.
The hole is 3280 feet and six feet
of well saturated oil sand was drill-
| ed into. Pipe has been set, cement-
, ing has been done and the operators
l are ready to drill in as soon as
weather will permit.
This is an offset to the Loving

The rising temperature today
cheered oil operators of this terri-
tory.
Most of the activities in the great
oil fields around Graham had been
reduced to almost the minimum for
the past three days due to unus-
ual low temperatures. Water lines,
pu p ps and other equipment had
frozen, making it impossible t& con-
tinue many operations.
Several wells are ready to come
in now in the Cosden pool, four
miles east of Graham and several
are also being drilled in the Knox
extension, eight miles northeast of
Graham.
Another well being watched close-
ly and expected to be drilled in any
day now is the wildcat test being-
drilled on the Stovall ranch a few
miles west of Newcastle and which
has been logging favorably.
Extensive operations have
a favorable log and j under Way and will be resumed
expected soon.
