Special Service
At Local Church
A s| ecial missionary service is
lo lie held tonight at 7 15 in the
Assembly of God Church Rev Ken-
eth t.arson. missionary educator in
Venezuela, will be the guest speak-
er for the service Rev. Larson is
a graduate of Wheaton College,
Wheaton. Illinois, and having spent
one term on the field is now itiner-
ating on behalf of the school in
which he teaches
The missionary will show slides
of the mission and tell of the dif-
ficulties and successes of the work.
Several of the students under in-
struction are from the much perse-
cuted nearby land of Columbia All
are welcome to attend
.Merchants Assiciation banquet
a-keil h.s hearers, among other
things not to gel panicky
Asserting that in a strange para
(lex the nation has almost suddenly
turned irom optimism to pessi-
mism, because of several factors,
the speaker set fortn a number of
things to do to keep business going.
Included were: take an inventory
of resources and cut out things
that are not making money: use
banks and retail merchants as-
sociation reports; use sound busi-
ness principles: always lake the
1 ustomers advice—he has a dil-
lerent viewpoint; don't forget the
human angle: and the boss should
make it a point to see every one
who asks to see him.
For the young man seeking suc-
cess, the speaker advised: have
knowledge, which is inlormation
reasoned cut to a working point,
develop imagination; do sound
thinking and beware of silly
dreams use imagination—lots of
men die at forty in liusines.s and
still live 30 years longer, and,
last but not least, work hard—
many hours a day.
The speaker was introduced by
Wallace Tosh, president of the local
credit association, who urged mak-
ing use of the reports of the asso-
ciation and asked local business
men to turn in credit information
and "drive out I lie tw in brothers
ol Doom and Gloom."
Tosh praised the work of Mrs.
Dora Harwell and Mrs. A. C.
Adney lor operating the most eco-
nomically run credit association in
I he stale and displayed the Chil-
ton Award won by the local asso-
ciation He reminded business men
that ihe service of the association
is as near as their telephone.
Mrs. Harwell in her report told
of weeding out the local files for
better work, installment of better
equipment: that the association has
increased its membership by one
third, with 30 per cent increase in
income, has made 700 daily re-
poits, besides 2.000 outside written
report* Projects of the association,
she said, are a modern collection
system and an SOS hot check
system. Also to seek the passage
of a garnishment lav. and a stiffer
law on removal of mortgaged
property. She reminded thai it is
credit that makes possible the
American way of life.
Bob Housel, manager of the
Chamber of Commerce, announced
that a public relations school will
bo operated here April 2g-May 1.
sponsored by the University of Tex-
as, with highly regarded E. A.

cal business men to send to the

An expanded farm housing loan
program designed to speed up
farm building construction improve-
ment as well as act as an addition-
al anti-recession measure, was an-
nounced today by Walter T. McKay.
Farmers Home Administration
State director, according to Her-
man Reeves, the agency's local
county supervisor.
Now an owner of a farm in agri-
cultural production and on which
the operator plans to produce at
least 1400 worth of farm commodi-
ties for sale or home use may qual-
ify for the 4 percent long-term
housing loan provided that he meets
other standard eligibility require-
ments.
Formerly an eltgibe applicant
had to own a farm that produced
a more substantial part of the op-
erator's annual cash income.
Loans may be made to build, im-
prove or repair farm houses or oth-
er essential farm buildings, and to
privide water for farmitead and
household use. Mr. R«#vcs « a 1 d
that in addition to financing major
construction, the loan funds can
help meet many other needs for j
farm and farm home moderni-
zation such as adding bathrooms, j
utility rooms .better kitchens, and |
many other improvements to the
home as well as to farm service
buildings While tenants and farm
laborers are not eligible, tne own-
er may borrow to do the construc-
tion work or make improvements
for them.
The loans are made to farm1
ow ners who need credit to finance •
building improvements or repairs.,
but find that adequate credit Is not
available through banks or other
regular credit channels. The in-
terest rate Is 4 percent and loans
may be amortized over periods up
to 33 years.
Eligibility for loan assistance is
determined by the three-member
County Farmers Home Administra-
tion committee, and applicatlens
are now being accepted In FHA
County Offices.

According to information receiv-
ed fit>m A. C. Henderson, local
ASC office manager. Stephens
County has received additional
funds to cover all farmers who
have signed the register to parti-
cipate in the Cotton Acreags Re-
serve program.
The record of discussions in the
; Congress relative to the additional
$250 million authorization for the
1958 acreage reserve program
| shows that farmers who attempted
; to participate by the applicable
' closing date, should be permitted
to do so whether or not they filed
agreements or were registered by
the applicable closing date. Two
basic conditions must be met.
These are:
1. The farmer is able to clearly
•StablUh that he took positive ac-
tion in an attempt to file an agree-
ment or register on Form CSS-823:
2. Funds are available after hav-
ing covered all agreements that
were timely filed and all requests
to participate that were properly
registered by the applicable closing
date. /
Any cotton producer in the coun-
ty who can certify that he took pos-
itive action In an attempt to sign
an agreement or be recorded on the
register and still wishes to porti-
vipate in the program should come
to the ASC Office. Examples of po-
sitive action would be where the
farmer came by the ASC Office or
called the ASC Office and was in-
formed that funds were exhausted.
Positive action would not incl ide
those who just thought they would
sign up and made no effort to do
