Farm buildings can usually be
re-roofed without removing the
old roofing material if asphalt
shingles are used. Under its Title
I program, the Federal Housing
Administration insures loans for
farm property improvements.
The furnishings in your home are probably worth 5
or 10 times what you think they are.
You’ve accumulated them one at a time—a chair, a
book, a picture, a suit of clothes, a set of dishes—
so you underestimate their total value.
Your insurance on these things is probably only a
fraction of what it should be. For example, just list
the things in one room, and see! Or ask for a form
on which to make a complete inventory of your
household possessions. And we’ll tell you how inex-
pensive complete protection against fire loss really is.
The Dallas News gives you profitable
information on agriculture, livestock,
markets, oil, home making, etc. Enter-
tainment, too; America's finest comics,
cartoons, sports, features, lots of pic-
tures.
On Sundays you get This Week
Magazine at no extra cost.
You'll save thousands of steps and
tons of lifting every year with an Electric
Dryer as a team-mate to your automatic
washer. Just pop the fresh-washed
clothes into your Electric Dryer, set the
controls and your drying job is done. No
wearisome clothesline calisthenics . . ,.
no weather worries or postponed wash-
days. And your clothes look better and
last longer, protected from dirt, dust and
sun-fading. Investigate the advantages
of an Electric Clothes Dryer . . . today!
American “Bill of Rights”
Explained
The American “Bill of Rights,”
consisting of the first ten amend-
ments to our federal constitution, all
adopted at one time in 1791, specifies
in some detail a number of basic civil
rights of the individual citizen. Un-
altered by subsequent amendments
and zealously guarded by our courts,
these privileges must still be re-
spected by our governing bodies to-
day.
Among the most familiar of our
constitutional guarantees are those
relating to freedom of religion,
speech, and of the press. The same
article protects the right of peace-
able assembly and the privilege of
petitioning the government for re-
dress of grievances.
to deteriorate further, the old
roof will expose the barn’s con-
tents, as well as its structure, to
the weather. Protecting the barn
with a new roof of weathertight,
fire-resistant asphalt shingles —
and doing it before leaks start—
will safeguard the farmer’s in-
vestment in-the building, equip-
ment, livestock, and crops.
35 YEARS AGO
(From The Sun January 9, 1920)
John Russell died at the home of
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Rus-
sell, in the Kentuckytown communi-
ty Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Orpha C. Nicely, wife of
Uncle Joe Nicely, died at the family
home northeast of town Monday.
Charles R. Truett has accepted a
position with the City National Bank
at Whitesboro and will move his fam-
ily there soon.
R. S. Morehead will open a confec-
tionery in the Holcomb building.
Rev. and Mrs. Grady May of Cad-
do Mills announce the birth of a son
on Jan. 7. Rev. May is a son of Dr.
and Mrs. R. May of Whitewright.
W. C. Huffines has sold a half in-
terest in his garage to Dan Aldredge.

The farmer who wants to put
a new roof on a barn or other
building gets a break in terms
for repaying a Title I loan guar-
anteed by the Federal Housing
Administration. He has up to 12
months to make the first payment
after borrowing the money.
This provision in the loan reg-
ulations enables a farmer to pro-
duce and market his crops at
least once before any payment is
due. The urban dweller, who
presumably has a more regular
income, isn’t able to do this.
The farmer-borrower may re-
pay a Title I property improve-
ment loan in annual, instead of
the customary monthly, install-
ments if at least 51 percent of his
income is “derived directly from
the sale of agricultural crops,
commodities, or livestock pro-
duced by him.”
A property improvement loan
may be as high as $2,500, with
up to three years to pay. The
FHA itself does not lend mpney.
It insures loans made by banks
or other lending institutions
under the FHA program.
Timely repairs financed by
Title I loans are good business
because farm buildings are a
means of livelihood to the farm-
er. Money spent on their upkeep
is an investment that can pay off
in increased business and profits.
For example, a barn may have
a worn, battered roof. If allowed

Then, to make quite clear to our
governing bodies the underlying in-
tent of the preceding provisions, the
Ninth Amendment states: “The
enumeration in the Constitution, of
certain rights, shall not be construed
to deny or disparage others retained
by the people.”
The Tenth Amendment further
emphasizes this basic theory by pro-
viding: “The powers not delegated to
the United States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the States, are
reserved to the States respectively, or
to the people.”
Thus, that fundamental philosophy
expressed in the Declaration of In-
dependence, that men are endowed
with certain unalienable rights, and
that “to secure these rights, govern-
ments are instituted among men, de-
riving their just powers from the
consent of the governed,” has been
carried forward into the highest law
of our land.
Another amendment secures our
persons, houses, papers and effects
against unreasonable searches and
seizures, and specifies that no war-
rants shall issue but upon probable
cause, and unless supported by oath
or affirmation.
The due process of law amend-
ment encompasses not one but sev-
eral guarantees. Every American is
secured against being placed twice in
legal jeopardy for the same offense;
against being compelled to be a wit-
ness against himself in a criminal
case; and against having his private
property taken for public use with-
out just compensation.
He is also secured against being
held for trial for a capital (death
penalty) or other infamous crime,
unless upon a presentment or indict-
ment of a grand jury. And, of course,
no person may be deprived of life,
liberty or property without orderly
court procedures, on due process of
law.
The right to a speedy and public
trial, by an impartial jury, in the lo-
cality where the crime was commit-
ted, the right to be informed of the
nature and cause of the accusation,
and the rights to compell attendance
of defense witnesses and to have the
assistance of defense counsel in all
criminal prosecutions are secured by
another section of the “Bill of
Rights.”
Excessive bail and fines, and cruel
and unusual punishments, are pro-
hibited in Amendment VIII. Other
articles insure the right to bear arms
