Savings Bonds Trend For Positive Goals Here’s a chance to see how your hopes and dreams stack up against those of “Mr. and Mrs. America.” Write down your principal motives for buying U. S. Savings Bonds, and check them against those of others in your age group. According to Roy P. Otwell, Chairman of the Forsyth County Savings Bonds Committee, the trend is now towards buying bonds for positive goals, rather than simply for general emergencies. Among people aged 18 34, the big “positive” reason is to buy a house. At ages 35 44, the child ren’s education and similar family needs comes first. At 45 64, re tirement is the ma-Jor goal. How do you fit into this picture? “Citizens of our county,” said Mr. Otwell, have purchased $65,403 worth of Series E & H Savings Bonds through August this year. Including growth in value, that’s considerably more than $65,403 worth of down payments on homes, college educations, and comfortable retirements for our thrifty Citizens. More and more people all the time are buying U. S. Savings Bonds ‘for the BIG things in their lives.” Important Notice WHAT —A gathering of the entire membership of dimming Methodist Circuit—WHEßE at Shiloh M. E.

The Forsyth County News OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY & CITY OF CUMMING DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FORSYTH, FULTON. CHICRO KEE, DAWSON, LUMPKIN, HAIL AND GWINNETT COUNTIES. (City Population 2,500) Cumming Georgia, Thursday, Oct., 4, 1956. FHA Personnel Attend Training Meetings On Expanded Credit Recent changes in the laws gov erning the Farmers Home Admin istration will enable the agency to serve the credit needs of a larger number of farm families, Ralph Dunson, County Supervisor said to day. The new law provides broader authority to assist family-type farmers with loans to improve and operate their farms. It also author izes, as a part of the rural develop ment program, loans for operating and developing farms where the farmer has part-time employment off the farm. Included in the broad er authority are loans for refinanc ing existing debts, and an increase in the maximum amount that can be advanced for operating loans. All of the present loan service of the Farmers Home Administra tion which include loans for the op eration, development and purchase of familytype farms, farm housing, soil and water conservation, and loans to meet emergency credit needs will continue to be available. Mr. Dunson said the new policies were explained by State Officials from Atlanta at a two-day meeting held September 18 and 19 in Gain esville. Cy Storey, County Office Clerk at the Lawrenceville head quarters office, attended the meet ing with Dunson. The loans to refinance existing debts will be available until June 30, 1959 to owners of farms no larger than family size. These loans will help farmers who have adequate security and who are bor rowers who have been continuously indebted for 7 years. The new law increases from 7 to 10 years the period which additional credit can be extended in hardship cases when the ability of the borrower to re pay his indebtedness within 7 years is due to causes beyond his control. Loans will also be available for operating and developing less than family-type farms, if the applicants are established, bona fide farmers who have historically resided on farms and depended on farm in come for their livelihood, and who are conducting substantial farming operations and spending a major portion of their time farming. Such operators must have dependable sources of income. The primary ob jective of these loans is to help farmers who live in areas desig nated for the Rural Development program, who are unable to obtain enough land resources to develop full-time farms. The interest rates and terms on these loans for operating and de veloping less than family-type farms will vary depending upon the purpose for- which the loan is ob tained. Loans for operating ex penses will be repayable over periods up to 7 years at 5 percent interest. Loans for real estate de velopment will bear charges of 4 1-2 percent and will be repayable over periods up to 40 years. These loams will only be made when the applicant’s income from his farm and other sources appears adequate to enablehim to meet living and operating expenses and to repay his debts. The new act also extends until June 30, 1959, the authority for special emergency loans. Special emergency loans are made in areas designated by the Secretary of Ag riculture to enable farmers to maintain . their operations when they are unable for a temporary period to obtain needed credit from other sources. In addition to the new loans, the Farmers Home Administration also makes Farm Housing loans for the construction and repair of farm houses and other farm buildings, including farmstead water supplies. All of the loans from the Farm ers Home Administration, will be made only to applicants who are unable to obtain adequate credit from other sources. With most types of loans, supervision in the development and carrying out of balanced systems of farming will be provided. The office of the FHA in Cum ming is located in the Agriculture Building, office hours are from 9 tc 12 on Monday and Thursday. Soil Conservation District News %• ... < I JAMES T. COOTS SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE Miles Wolfe, Supt., of the City of Cumming Waterworks, reports four inches of rain fell last week.

Mer cer Brown, SCS engineer is com pleting this week the field survey on Settingdown creek channel above 9 E highway. It is hoped that the channel of the creek will be- improved by next summer. J. C.

God’s Goodness And My Responsibility If our eyes are only half-way open we cannot help but see the results of the goodness of God all around us. “Every good gift and every perfect gilft is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variable ness, neither shadow of turning”. James 1:17. Life is the greatest gift we have who gave it to us? Who has given us our opportuni ties, influence, abilities? Who gave us the world in which we live with all of its riches and beauty’s. Above all, who sent hs only begotten son to earth to redeem us from sin. Satan desires to destroy the human race. God desires to save all those who come unto Him by faith. Each individual will make his own choice between life and death. God has given us the right to choose so we determine our own destiny by our choice. If we have chosen Him as our Lord and Master we will certainly have respect and reverence for the Lord’s Day. We will certainly be doing our best to serve and obey Him by serving our fellowman in His name. If you love Him you will certainly love your fellowman and be faithful in cooperating with other Christians in the Church He has established. W. R.

Consumers Urged To Study Labels On New Fabrics The tremendous increase in fab ric finishes on the market now makes it more important than ever as well as more difficult to be a wise shopper, Mrs. Zelma R. Ban nister, HDA for Forsyth County, believes. “There are over 500 trademarked and branded finishes on the market today, so it is easy to see why there is more confusion on the part of the consumer as to what can be exjected of fibers and fabrics and how to care for them,’ the HD agent says. She explains that fabrics always have been “finished,” but in recent years the art and techniques of finishing have been developed to the extent that they are almost as important as the fiber content. In Athens, Miss Avola Whitesell, clothing specialist for the College of Agriculture Extension Service, says, “The best aid for the con sumer is the labels or hang tags which most manufacturers supply. The manufacturer of a good pro duct wants you to know the facts about it.” Some of the special finishes, which may be found under various trade names, are these: Shrinkage control —the product has been treated so that shrinkage will be less than one or two per cent. Wlrinkle recovery and creases re sistant—resin finishes applied to cotton, linen, rayons, and blends of these materials, to resist wrinkles and keep the fabric fresh longer. Starchless finishes—giving a per manent crispness to cottons and rayons, making them lustrous and making care of the easier. Texturizing or embossed finishes, resin that give a fabric a different appearance, such as a puckered ef fect or glazed surface. Cotton can be made to look like satin, linen, leather, or wall paper. Color-fast ness-signifies the type of dye used and how it was ap plied. Because no one can tell just by looking at a fabric what kind of dye was used or how fast the color is, a lable guaranteeing color fastness and giving instructions on how to care for the fabric are valu able. Vat dyes are considered the most resistant to fading from washing and sunlight. Water repellents—does not mean water proof. Read the label to see if it tells the number of dry clean ings the garment will take before losing its repellency. A non durable water repellent finish may be re placed by most laundries and dry cleaners. Flame resistant finishes —a finish applied after the Flamable Fabric Act of 1954, enacted to eliminate highly dangerous fabrics from com mercial sale Insulating finishes—a metallic coating applied to lining fabrics to give warmth without increasing weight. These linings should be dry cleaned unless label reads otherwise. Moth control—a rinse developed by U. S. Department of Agriculture called “E-53” used under various trade names, which will prevent growth of moth larvae in all stored washable woolens for at least a year, if applied properly. Hygienic finishes—retard the for | mation of odors by inhibiting bac- I terial growth. County Population 15,000. Number 40. Transatlantic Cable Now Serving The Foreign Countries The transatlantic telephone cable which was placed in operation Sep tember 25, 1956 will greatly im prove telephone service between North America and Europe, Hugh A. Fleming, local manager of South ern Bell Telephone Company, said today. . “Conservation between the two continents can now be carried on with the clarity and ease of a local telephone call,” Mr. Fleming said. “Last year over 683,000 overseas telephone calls were made from the United States,” Mr. Fleming said. “About 68,000 of these originated in Southern Bell territory. The State of Georgia makes an average of about 190 overseas calls a week. Mr. Fleming pointed out the sim plicity of making an overseas call. If a person in Cumming wanted to talk with someone in Paris, his op erator would call an overseas op erator in New York. The New York operator would probably make the connection via the new transat lantic cable. The local telephone official said that the new transatlantic cable will improve the quality of overseas calls to Europe. The underseas cable will not be affected by sun spots and storms as radiotelephone systems have been in the past. The cable will be able to carry 36 con versations at the same time, almost tripling the capacity of the older system. Three overseas telephone offices are maintained in the United States. They are centered in the Miami area for the Caribbean and Central America, in the San Fran cisco area for the Pacific islands and the Orient, and the New York area for the rest of the world.
