For most families, the peak
need for housing occurs at a
relatively early age, well before
peak eartiings are reached by
the family breadwinner and

- cften while the wife is temporarily out of the labor force, raising young children.

Present mortgage standetds
of the Federal Housing Administration and ether groups are
based largely on present earnings of the family breadwinner. Future increase in his
earnings @r work by a wife undor 40 years old are not taken
into account.

Says Morgan: ~These~ rules
make it impossible to make any
allowance for situations where
the wife plans to work between
the periods when she is having
babies,

~Particularly among families
of minority races, wherein-laws
are frequently available in the
home or néarby to take care of
children and where the wife
works at jobs where it is easy
to set her own schedules~paid
housework, for example~-such

could be counted as part of
~effective income vor mortgage
purposes. Some consider7t'~+

might be given to this situation:|,

Certainly, it means a reduction
of the risk that the family income will be cut so low as to
make the family unable to meet
mortgage payments.

~In a similar manner, people
whose incomes are almost certain to rise within the mortgage
petiod~and rise substantially~
may be forced to settle for a
house that is too small for their
needs. They must then either
face the incotivenience and cost
(including brokers~ fees) of moving, or live in quarters that are
too small.

~Particularly. for highly educated people, there can be predicted substantial increases in
income during the period of
mortgage payments. For them,
restricting) mortgage loans to
amounts which seem reasonable
in relation.to currént income
would appear unnecessarily cautious and restrictivel.~

When we. consider the present

the avowed:responsibility of the

that if allowed they would demand more.

A Christmas Dividend

Do you want an extra dividend in Christmas joy and
happiness?

Then share your baad fortune with a less fortunate
person in your community. |~
You can do this easily by
making a contribution to
The ~Salvation skal Christmas Appéal.

Your. ~dividend~ | may ~be
declared in the form of a

a Christmas remembrance;

the renewed hope of a lone-|

Army center; or in the thank

he. receives a visit from a
friendly Salvationist bringing candy, a gift and scriptural words of comfort, and
knows that there is someone:
who cares about him.

Your, dividends will be

servicemen who must spend
Christmas away from home;
in the hearts of veterans in

Labor Neglects Civil

SAN FRANCISCO ~ Civil
rights proposals were conspicuous by their absence from the
1-point program urged for theh
86th Congress by the AFL-CIO
Executive Council. The Council
described its program as one
to ~give the people the program for which tthey have voted.~

Implementation of the full

Recorder~s Judge John P.

Scallen, who is President of the
Old Newsboys~ Goodfellow Fund
of Detroit, stressed the need for
an all-out effort this year, pointing out that ~due to~ the economic recession of 1958,
welfare of more underprivileged
children jis at stake than in previous years. That~s why, Judge
Scallen continued, we are hoping Detroiters in every walk of
life will support the Goodfellow
campaign even more generously
this year than in the past.~

~Truly,. there is no sadder
sight at Christmas than a child
forlorn and ~forgotten.~ Detroit~s
underprivileged chiildren have
looked to the Goodfellows for
their Christmas joy for, the past
44 years, and this year we must
do everything, within our power
to keep our pledge~~Ne Child

have since 1914 when the Goodfellow work started. And remember,~ he added, ~we are

ABOUT 6.1. HOMES 2

GI homes acquireg by Veterans Administration are sold in
the same way that Houses are
usually sold by individuals ~
through local real estate brokers,. Lloyd H. Jameson, VA~s Regional Office Manager in Deiroit, explained today.

Obtained from leriders in. connection with claims. paid on GI
loans, the houses are sold by VA
to recover as much of the Government~s guaranty payment as

possible, he said.

Sale cf these homes may be
financed by the Government on

liberal. terms, including low
down payments and long repayment periods, Mr.. Jameson

pointed out, and the purchasers
need not be vetsrans.

Contrary to a widély-held belief, the houses are sold at their
current market value and not
on a ~Government surplus~ basis, Mr. Jameson emphasized.

Since the GI! loan. program began in 1944, VA. has sold 29,868
homes throughott the~ nation..

As of September 30, 1958, VA
had 4,642 houses~ available for
sale.

This total of 34,150 ligtises represents a mrere two-thirds of one
per cent cf the 5,159,667 GI
