Windell, who examined the schol- astic records of 1287 athletes, re- ports that football players are the poorest students. Windell studies the records of athletes of seven southwestern . schools for information to incor- porate in a thesis at Southern Methodist University. He divided the athletes into those who took part only in foot- ball, basketball, baseball, track, tennis or golf and those who let- 'tered in two, three, four or five sports. For single sports, the tennis players had the highest average grades. The order for remaining isports was track, golf, baseball, basketball and football. | Windell decided that students participating in sports requiring | individual effort outrank those who | compete in sports involving team play. The one man of the 1,287 who made letters in five sports made the highest grades of them all; but Windell did not consider this con- clusive evidence that five-sport men are the best athletes.

The project authorized in the Act for Skagway will provide a rub- ble breakwater 1,800 feet long across the tide flats just east of the| mouth of the Skagway River; cun-" tinued on the north by a revetted | earthen dike extending upstream 6,700 feet to high ground on the jeast side of the river. This Is ex- pected to adequately fulfill the; double purpose of preventing shoal- ing of the harbor in the vicinity of the dock at Skagway and pro-| vide flood protection for the town | during flood stages of the Skagway fRiver. The estimated cost is $105,- | | 000. i | The Act authorizes a small-boat | | basin wifh space for a seaplane | ramp at Valdez. The basin will be | dredged to a depth of 12 feet at |mean low water with an area of | 1400 feet by 300 feet between the |city wharf and the cannery wharf. | Cost of the work is expected to be | ‘nhouL $68,500. 5 [ The harbor improvement at Un- |alska will provide for the removal |of Tuscarora Rock and the south |tip of Miuliuk Reef to afford an {entrance channel to the harbor not |1ess than 350 feet wide and 25 feet |deep, at an estimated cost of $60,000. | | | learning.

People who own their own homes as a rule know that the deepest pleasure and gratification from home ownership can be obtained only when their property is kept in good repair and up to date. Home own- ers generally are people with a sense of responsibility, and derive a keen enjoyment from living in homes which not only maintain an at- tractive appearance but also offer the essentials of comfort that are today required. That is why Title I of the National Housing Act was re-enacted re- cently by Congress; the FHA has established this plan whereby home owners may obtain funds at reasonable rates and under convenient repayment arrangements for financing improvements to their property. Homes are living places, but they will not grow of themselves as will other members of your family. Your home must have help from you if it is to keep pace with the growth of your family. You, as the home owner, are responsible for seeing that your home has all the advantages of modern care and improvements. You must see that your Jome keeps growing as fast as your family, that it furnishes room and 1appiness for all. But, you do not need now to face your home-owner's responsibilities alone. FHA is at your elbow to help you help your home. You, who own homes, have probably been considering all sorts of repairs to your homes. That is only natural, as homes are always in need of proper maintenance. You may, for example, have been thinking of fixing up the roof—perhaps replacing some of the shingles or installing new gut- ers and down spouts. Then again, you may have been figuring on fix- ing up the walls, or mending the cracks in the chimney, or strengthening the foundations. Well, for making any such repairs you may obtain funds under the FHA Property Improvement Plan. Loans under this plan may be obtained for painting jobs, for remod- eling jobs, and for all sorts of alterations. You may obtain funds to re- paint the' interior as well as the exterior of your home. You may want to convert the attic into a study or extra bed-room. You may want to fix up the basement, and make a recreation room out of it. You may want to add a porch or sun room on the house. All such improvements are eligible for credit notes insured by the Government. Then many of you may be interested in adding some modern built- in conveniences. Builtin cabinets, closets, shelves, breakfast nooks, medicine cabinets and ventilating fans, and similar equipment which becomes a permanent part of the house, are also eligible for loans under the FHA Property Improvement Plan. The FHA itself does not make loans. These loans are made to you by your own private banks, finance companies, and other lending insti- tutions which are insured against loss by the Federal Housing Adminis- tration. If you have steady income and can show a reasonable ability to repay the amount you borrow you are eligible to participate in the plan. The terms under which these loans are made are the lowest ever available for this type of financing, and arrangements for repayment are convenient. You make your repayments in installments—in relatively small monthly amounts. You may borrow up to $10,000 for property im- provement and spend the money where and as you believe you will re- ceive the most. You are under obligation to no one firm or agency to buy through it. Visit any FHA-Insured financial institutions right here in Juneau. They will be glad to give you the details and to discuss your problems with you. Or, if you prefer, address your inquiries tothe District FHA ,Agent in Juneau. F. H. A. Development Committee
