Politics On Parade
Judge Jeptah Tankersley, of Ful¬
ton County Superior Court, remains
serious about making the race for
United States Senator against
Richard B. Russell in 1966. He has
made speeches in various cities
over the state, and is trying to se¬
cure further invitations.
Despite the good Judge’s popu¬
larity and undoubted ability, he
will stand about as much chance
against Senator Russell as the pro¬
verbial snowball.

WHITE COUNTY BOARD OF
EDUCATION HOST OF THE
FIVE COUNTY BOARD MEET
The meeting will be held at the
Dell Cliff Restaurant in Roberts
town. The five counties are White,
Habersham, Stephens, Rabun and
Banks. The-group will discuss com¬
mon problems and solutions used
successfully by each Board.
EVER THOUGHT OF THIS?
Georgia shows up in the national
rating as being a state where the
median citizen has had 9 years
of school. In 1940 he had 7.2
years, and in 1950, he had 7.8
years. The I960 census showed
9 years. “At that rate, it will take
him 30 years even to show up in
the national census as a high
school graduate,” says Dr. Claude
Purcell, State School Superinten¬
dent.
Dr. Purcell points out that this
estimate of the education of Geor¬
gians over 25 years leaves 50
years (since the average life is
about 75 years) to be accounted
in the education reckoning.
“This includes people who went
to school many years ago, when
we did not have in Georgia the
educatioal opportunities we have
now. If we had a picture show¬
ing the education level of those
who have come through the
schools within recent years, Geor¬
gia would show up as much
greater than 9 years as its median
schooling.

Earthquake Making
Is Hard Work
Two shady business men —
known to do most anything for a
buck —were discussing their mu¬
tual problems. “Did the insurance
company come across with that
fire insurance you asked for?”
asked one.
(< No,” the other replied. “They
offered to give me earthquake in¬
surance instead, but I turned them
down.”
“I don’t blame you,’ the first
deadbeat agreed. “It’s awfully hard
to start a convincing earthquake.”

Housing Credit
is Available
To Senior Citizens
Elderly people, if they live in
rural areas, need not give up the
idea of building, buying or repair¬
ing their homes on credit.
This word comes from Millard
L. Darden, Farmers Home Admin¬
istration county supesrvisor, serv¬
ing Habersham, Hall, Rabun and
White Counties. Darden said citi¬
zens who are 62 years or over,
living in a rural community of 2,500
or less, may be eligible for a 33
year loan bearing 4 per cent inter¬
est to buy an older home or build
a new one.
The FHA supervisor said elderly
residents may also be eligible for
.smaller loans for home repairs.
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 son
profit organizations for construct¬
ions of senior citizens rental hous¬
ing units designed for independent
living.
Funds for construction of senior
citizens rental housing units may
also be provided investors with
FHA guaranteeing repayment.
This fiscal year through April 30
Farmers Home Administration has
advanced $5,586,876 to senior citi¬
zens for construction, buying and
repairing of individual homes. The
total loaned is up 17 per cent over
a similar period last fiscal year.
In Georgia Farmers Home Ad¬
ministration has loaned $634,820 to
individual senior citizens to meet
rural housing needs.
Over 1,200 elderly people in the
30 states, Puerto Rico and the Vir¬
gin Islands were able to get loans
for new or improved housing
through the senior citizens rural
housing program of Farmers Home
Administration.
Another $1,248,510 was advanced
by the US Department of Agricul¬
ture agency for the construction
of rental housing units for senior
citizens during the same period,
July 1 1964 through April 30 1965.
In a similar period, $45,250 was
advanced by FHA for construction
of senior citizen rental housing
units in Georgia.
“Farmers Home Administration’s
senior citizen housing loan program
offers citizens 62 years and older
an opportunity to have housing
suited to their needs in the com¬
munity in which they have spent
their working years,” Darden said.
“This program also stimulates the
local economy by providing jobs
for workers engaged in the con¬
struction industry and customers
for local trades and services.”
In 1962 Congress authorized Far¬
mers Home Administration to make
direct loans and insured loans to
individuals and corporations to fi¬
nance rental housing for elderly.
FHA direct loans for senior citizen
rental housing in rural communi¬
ties bear 3.75 per cent interest,
with up to 50 years for repayment.
But loans insured by the agency
for rental housing currently bear
5.75 per cent interest. Borrowers
have up to 40 years to repay.
Additional information about the
senior citizen rural housing loan
program is available at the Fann¬
ers Home Administration office,

Tulsa Editor Urges
Courage, J W:
Involvement
By The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — Jenkin Lloyd
Jones, editor and publisher of the
Tulsa Tribune, has called for ‘cour¬
age and involvement’ to meet chal¬
lenges now facing the world.
In a speech before the annual
convention of the General Feder¬
ation of Women’s Clubs here Mr.
Jones said, “We must be the gener¬
ation of courage. Not flag-waving
courage and fife-and-drum courage,
but quiet determination that great
opportunities will be seized and
horrible possibilities will be recog¬
nized and resisted.
