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. — Sid Williams.

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. White County Board of Health Recommendations JUNE 8, 1965 1. Recommended an anti-rabies program be started shortly, sponsored by Health Depart¬ ment, assisted by Mr. Chamb¬ ers, County Agent. 2. Adopted budget as will be ap¬ plicable to White County’s fis¬ cal year, beginning July 1. County share approximately $5,000. 3. Reviewed responsibilities of a sanitarian. Recommended em¬ ployment of part-time sanitarian as is recommended by State Health Department and as pro¬ vided in present budget. 4. Reviewed possible ordinance for improvement of environmental health at County level. 5. Recognized contributions of ma¬ terial, time and money given to health center by local firms and local medical staff. 6. As part of a possible regional medical services plan — recom¬ mended the appointment of Hos¬ pital Authority by County Com¬ missioners. Regulations specify this membership to be limited to 9 members. 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.” V LETTERHEADS ^ENVELOPES 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, 212 South Sycamore Street, Gaines¬ ville, Ga. _*f - 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.
