Walter Winehell has been quoted as saying there is not. a beautiful woman working for the government. He might have employed a little diplomacy and said that alb women working for the govern- ment’ are beautiful, only that some are more beautiful than others.

The mission will find that the act makes general strikes | iNegal, that labor unions must accept ob- ligations imposed by law if they are to benefit from protections bestowed by law, and that they have no right to ineon- venience the public in a struggle to gain their own ends. These desiderata are not included in the Wagner Act of the United States, and that is why the NLRB is meet- ‘ug with so much ill will on the part of business men and the public in general.

The fact is that while it was difficult some time back to. raise. money for build- ing, that is no longer true. M. M. Parrish, | ministration, spent Wednesday night and | Phursday in Key West in an_ effort arouse prospective builders to. take ad- by that agericy. tions of the city; up to $2,500 for buildings such as filling stations, restaurants and stores, without living quarters; up to $2,- 500 for new structures combining both living and business quarters; up to’ $16,000 for new dwellings in the newer sections of | the.cityy. The loaning agency in Key West is the First National Bank. Mr. Parrish is authority: forstheostatement that the bank | will make ‘any loanafter it has been ap- proved. and,authorized by the FHA. Ap- plications for loans for any of the types of buildings outlined by Mr. Parrish must in- clude proper plans, specifications and. esti- mates, and the prospective borrower must meet certain federal requirements as to his | ability to repay the loans. In his statements, Mr. Parrish em- phasized the fact that while the FHA was prepared to authorize loans in the older sections for remodeling, repairing, re- painting and for additions thereto, the federal agency would not make loans for new buildings in those sections. He boint- zoning ordinance, so that the FHA would not be protected against loss through the depreciation of a piece of property be- cause some objectionable type of building was erected nearby. To summarize, if a man owns a piece authorizes it, the local bank must advance the money: «The bank is insured against less. by the FHA. There is no longer any veason for a properly qualified borrower to hold up his building program. |} SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B.
