(COLLEGE KEPOKTKK)
Client speakers at a special as-
sembly Wednesday evening in the
Breckenridge branch of Hanger
Junior College were the Honoiahle
Keginald Thomas Pollard and Eli
James H.iiiison of Australia.
They w>i;. accompained by Dr.
i Ashton of Ranger Junior College
; ar.d Mr. and Mrs. Hubert llousel
of the local Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Pollard discussed school sys-
1 tern in this part of the country.
He was particularly impressed with
the secondary school system here
such as the Ranger Junior College
[atfoids for those wishing to fuith-
l er their education.
Through the graeiousness of the
local Chamber of Commerce, Mr.
f'ollard was able to witness our pio-
g.essiw sch'wil system, and it is
his desire to take this idea back
1 to Australia. Mr. Pollard has been
fighting for this very principle in
! '.he parliament of Australia, which
! we take for granted.
The second speaker, Mr. Harri-
son was, like Mr. Pollard, very
impressed w ith our schol system.
Mr. Harrison pointed out a truth,
• which we all know hut refuse to
1 face, the fact that the l". S. has
; been a tremendous help to his coun-
j try and others, yet we are stiil a
I wasteful nation.
It is his fondest hope that the
i generations which follow him will
final a way to sh.:re surpluses with
nations that are legs fortunate. It
is true that while people are starv-
, in:;, produce is being thrown away
or plowed under Mr. Harrison feels
that these problems can be solved
! through better education of the
i young generation.
The students enjoyed the speak-
j ers greatly and are looking for-
ward to moie programs of th,s
calibre.

WASHINGTON .,P> The Kisen
hovver administration is weighing a
new federal housing administration
program under which mortgage
lenders would set the interest rati-
and FHA would insure only 2i
per cent of the risk.
Housing administrator Albert
<'ole announced this today in Wash-
ington. He* told reporters that if
the administration decides to re-
commend the plan and Congress
adopts it. FHA would not enforce
the same structural stindards
which now protect home buyers.
He said the plan would not
change or displace the existing
F. II. A. insurance program under
which the govei n'nent insures Hhi
per cent of the lender** risk but
imposes a ceiling of 5 and a quar-
ter iter cent on the interest rate
he can charge.
Cole unveiled the plan in
speech prepared for the convention
of the New Jersey League of mu-
nicipalities at Atlantic City, ifui-r
explaining it to reporters ill Wash-
ington. H<' said in the speech:
"The program would permit low
dov n pay ments and low monthly
payments. One of the principal
aims wouiid be avoid the prohib-
itive expenses of second-mortgage
financing that is becoming increas-
ingly. and dangerously, prevalent.
It would greatly leduce the chalic-
es of the home owner losing his
home."
Cole told newsmen that no defi-
nite decision has been made, but
that the plan is under concent rut ed
discussion in the government.
The idea was ex|iected to arouse
quick opposition in Congress, where
Democratic legislators have resist
ed lifting the interest ceiling. They
consider this ceiling a protection
for veterans and other home pur-
chasers, even through the ceiling
has been blamed for a shortage of
credit available for FHA insured
inert gages.

Increased Demand For Beef Will
Bring Profit From Feeding Cattle
For peace of Mind . . S
TRAMMELL - SWANSON
INSURANCE AGENCY A4T.
By OVID A. MARTIN
(A. I . FARM EDITOR)
i
| WASHINGTON I.fr— The Agri-
culture Depaitmerit said today the
chances aie go >d that faimers will
make at least average profits from
feeding of slaughter cattle next
year.
Ill fact, the agency said, there
is a possibility that profits may
exceed present expectations.
officials explained at a farm
outlook conference in Washington
attended by state extension work
ers arid educator* that a new cattle
"boom ' is in the making. By this,
they mean that the demand for
beef is strong enough to encourage
farmers t i produce more beef. As a
consequence, mane producers are
holding back for breeding purpos-
i#, es cattle w hich otherw ise would
i go to market for daughter. They
are encouraged to d i this by the
strong consumer prices and by the
declining prices of livestock feed.
But past experience shows, of
I ficials. said that there is a danger
that producer* may overexpand.
' Then would come a decline in cat-
tle, prices with feeding >perations
j causing losses rather than netting
I profits.
! This is a case, officials said, of
|"enthusiasm out-i tinning prudence."
| They emphasized, however, that
j this shift from condition* which
i prov ide profits t i those which
i cruise losses usually takes more
| than on eyear to he made.
' Officials predicted that the low
■ point in prices of tattle fattened
this winter for next year*r slaugh-
ter market* vit! come Inter than
! the n irmal Femuaiy. I hat is be-
J later start this season than nor-
' ma I.
