Pegues. His re- marks were followed by a round table diseussion that lasted almost | two hours in which several pros- pective builders took up problems of interest to themselves. Mr. Pegues mentioned briefly the modernization ~ program, pointing out eligible loans under this section of the Act, and dwelt more fully on the “Single Mortgage System’ inaugurated on a nationwide scale by the Federal Housing Admin- istration. Under this system, which pro- vides for murual insurance, any- one with a moderate income, a modicum of savings and yet who have not the necessary cash im- mediately at hand, can build or buy homes which conform to cer- tain fundamental standards. The Federal Housing Administration, he * said, gives to the lender a full guar- antee of payment at maturity of | intention on const i rushed through in si the National | both principal and interest on all offers to the borrower a low- cost finaneing on a long-term bas's loans it insures, and for the first that enables him to own and pay for his home on a basis that is cheaper than paying rent At the conclusion of the meeting | several ind:vidu: expressed the cting their own homes as soon as financial ar- rangements can be made With no committee reports ready, the regular business session was order. Two communications one from a Cali- fornian requesting information about Douglas and the other from a student at the University of Wash- ington; relative to light, water and ' telephone systems in service here, were read by and reported duly attended to by Secretary Kilbuwn. - ‘FRENCHY” DURANT IS SAVED FROM DROWNING The timely assistance of Joe Weh- ren and Adolph Hirsch is all that saved John “Frenchy” Durant, pion- eer miner and fisherman, from drowning near his cabin at Lawson Creek at 1 o'clock this morning Durant had gone out in his skiff earlier in the night to salvage a couple of logs drifting , for fire- wood 2nd in getting a line around the logs to tow them to the beach, ost his ba e and had fallen in between them and his boat. With heavy rubber bo on in addition to his own heavy weight, the man was powerless to do any more than cling to the side of the boat and shout for Thelp. Although the Wehrens, nearest neighbors to Du- rant, live a quarter of a mile or more distant, they were awakened by the calls, and after enlisting the | help of Hirsch from his cabin near- by, the two men went to the rescue f the drowning man, arriving cn e scene as his endurance to heng cnto the boat was about ex- hausted.

Thus commerce would be ir:proved. THEORY DOESN'T FIT? Peek said in a speech a few days ago in Philadelphia that the theory was not bad, but that it did not fit the conditions. In the first place, he asserted America is losing {her position as a creditor and “the |Administration has refrained from |making any particular effort to \collect what is due us on public land private debts.” Instead of buying American goods, Peek said, European inves- tors are buying American securities to regain a creditor relationship. He concedes he has to present a rather involved argument. Recently Hull defended his pro- gram before the Chamber of Com-~ merce of the United States and was encouraged by an indorsing resolution with a peek-like hook on it which recommended that the program be operated so as not to bring in products competing with American agriculture. = g 3 | ATTENTION, DOG OW!} Be sure that your dog carries a 1936 license tag by June 1.
