Housing credit
available for
rural elderly
Elderly people, if they live in
rural areas, need not give up the
idea of building, buying or re
pairing their homes on credit.
This word comes from William
H. Carter, Farmers Home Admin
istration county supervisor, serv
ing Fairfield and Newberry coun
ties.
Mr. Carter said citizens who are
62 years and over, living in a rural
community of 2500 or less, may
be eligible for a 33 year loan
bearing 4 per cent interest to buy
an older home or build a new
one.
The FHA supervisor said elder
ly residents may also be eligible
for smaller loans for home repair.
He pointed out the increasing
demand in small towns for rental
units designed to meet the housing
needs of older folks.
The Farmers Home Administra
tion can loan direct funds to non
profit organizations for construc
tion of senior citizen rental hous
ing units designed for independ
ent living.
Funds for construction of senior
citizen rental housing units may
also be provided by private in
vestors with FHA guaranteeing
repayment.
This fiscal year through April
80 Farmers Home Administration
has advanced $5,586,876 to senior
citizens for construction, buying
and repairing of individual homes.
The total loan is up 17 per cent
over a similar period last fiscal
year.
Over 1,200 elderly people in the
80 states, Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands were able to get
loans for new or improved housing
through the senior citizen rural
housing program of Farmers
Home Administration.
“Farmers Home Administration
senior citizen housing loan pro
gram offers citizens, 62 years and
older, an opportunity to have
housing" suited to their needs in
the community in which they have
spent their working years,” Mr.
Carter said. “This program also
stimulates the local economy by
providing jobs for workers en
gaged in the construction industry
and customers for local trades and
services.”
In 1962 Congress authorized the
Farmers Home Administration to
make direct loans and insured
loans to individuals and corpora
tions to finance rental housing for
the elderly.
FHA direct loans for senior
citizen rental housing in rural
communities bear 3.75 percent in
terest, -with up to 50 years for re
payment.
But loans insured by the agency
for rental housing currently bear
5.75 percent interest. Borrowers
have up to 40 years to repay.
Additional information about the
senior citizen rural housing loan
program is available at the Farm
ers Home Administration office.
MARTHA SUMMER WINS
VA pensions for
eligible minors
Unmarried minor children of de
ceased veterans remain eligible
for pension payments even though
their mother loses her eligibility
by remarriage, the South Carolina
Veterans Administration Regional
Office reminded today.
The same situation occurs when
the mother becomes ineligible be
cause her income exceeds the limit
for pension eligibility. In these
instances, payments are stopped
to the widow but continued to her
children.
But if the widow fails to apply
for pension, knowing that she is
not eligible, the VA will have no
record of the children who are
entitled to receive pension pay
ments.
VA said that unmarried childr
en of deceased veterans are eligi
ble for pension payments until
they are 18 years of age, or until
they are 21, if they are attending
school, provided their own per
sonal incomes do not make them
ineligible.
Complete information may be
obtained at the Columbia VA Reg
ional office.

FARM-ir^g^
N OfES IfiiBrs
It is no nursery rhyme with our
small grains this year—we must
protect what we make.
This hardly looked like a good
year for producing barley but one
man reports better than 50 bushels
per acre while still another re
ports 70 bushel yields. I believe
these to be exception rather than
the rule for our county barley
yields as most folks here in the
county are reporting the poorest
yields in years. ,
The combines are running wide
open to get the grain in before
rain. Is that the way our storage
bins are—wide open to rats, mice
and birds? Many of us have to
store our grain in an empty house
on the farm but still one can save
money if he will just clean up the
storage facilities he does use.
Clean up bins before placing
grain in them. After cleaning out
all thrash and debris, spray the
bins thoroughly inside and eut.
Use Methoxychlor 50 per cent
wettable powder, one pound to
two and one-half gallons of water
or 0.5 percent of Pyrethrins. Spray
roof and walls of bin before grain
is stored. The ground around the
doors and foundations should be
sprayed with DDT 50 per cent
wettable powder, one pound to
two and one-half gallons of water
or spray with Lindane 25 per cent
wettable powder, one pound to
10 gallons of water. Do not use
DDT OR LINDAN INSIDE THE
BIN OR ON THE GRAIN.
To control insects in grain while
in storage apply one pint of prem
ium grade Malathion 57 percent
emulsifible liquid in two to five
gallons of water for each 1000 bu
shels of grain. Apply and spray
as the grain is being loaded or
turned into final storage.
Make sure the spray is
course enough so that it reaches
the grain and it not lost as
drift.”
The dust form of premium grade
Malathion may be used also. Ap
ply one percent premium grade
Malathion dust at the rate of 60
pounds for each 1000 bushels of
grain.

VEGETABLES ARE IMPOR
TANT TO EVERYONE
1. To the commercial growers
of South Carolina in 1964 a gross
of $17,307,000 was realized from
vegetables.
2. To the small growers (mar
ket gardeners) who sell locally it
means additional income (vine
ripened tomatoes, plants, sweet-
corn, etc.)
3. To the countless number of
home gardeners the home garden
is both an economic asset as well
as a recreational venture.
4. To all of us who eat vege
tables daily, we just wouldn’t want
to do without them.
We know that during the past
10 years the average per capita
consumption of vegetables is up
from 199.9 pounds in 1950-52 to
DAR Chapter

Jefferson Davis
The Drayton Rutherford Chap

o’clock at the home of Mrs. E. E.
Westwood with Mrs. Leon Nich

associate hostesses.
A social hour was held and Mrs.
Westwood, president, presided and
called tht meeting to order.

led in the salute to the flags and
Walter Summer, Jr., conducted the
ritual.
The historian, Mrs. M. F. Bow
ler, presented Mr. Summer, who
is president of the “Eloise Welch
Wright Chapter of the' Children
of the Confederacy.” He gave a
wonderful yearly report on the
chapter and also stated that they
plan to undertake the same job
next year.
The historian next presented
Miss Beth Baker, who gave a most
interesting and historical pro
gram on the life of Jefferson
Davis.
Minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved.
Mrs. L. G. McCullough, treas
urer, made her report.
Mrs. Leon Nichols, Mrs. Ralph
P. Baker and Mrs. J. J. Chappell

ful and fitting memorial in mem
ory of one of our dearly beloved

207.1 pounds in 1963.
The per capita consumption of
fresh vegetables during this per
iod has decreased while the in
crease has come with processed
vegetables both frozen and canned.
One only has to wall: down the
aisle of a modern supermarket to
realize this. Even though the
quality of the processed vegeta
bles has increased, there is still
no substitute for the vine ripened,
fresh, locally grown vegetables.
Fortunately here in South Car
olina we can still get much of
this home grown variety. During
May we can begin to get locally-
grown snap beans. Around the
first of June South Carolina to
matoes and cucumbers will come
upon the scene. Squash and cab
bage are now moving.

TRY THIS SOMETIME
I knelt to pray when day was done
And prayed “O Lord bless
everyone;
Lift from each saddened heart
the pain
And let the sick be well again.”
And then.I awoke another day
And carelessly went on my way.
Ahe whole day long I did not try
To wipe a tear from any eye.
I did not try to share the load
Of my brother on the road.
I did not even go to see
The sick man just next door to me.
Yet once again when day was done
I prayed “O Lord bless everyone”
But as I prayed, into my ear
There came a voice that
whispered clear;
“Pause hypocrite before you pray,
Whom have you tried to bless
today?”
God’s sweetest blessings always go
By hands that serve Him here v
below”
And then I hid my face and cried.
“Forgive me, Lord, for I have lied.
Let me live another day,
And I will live the way I pray.”
