Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1962 Page Three Additional $700,000 Allocated to FHA Loan Program An additional $700,000 has I been allocated for the continua-tion of the Farmers Home Ad-ministration operating loan pro-gram in Utah, Senator Frank E. Moss (D-Uta- h) announced. The amount is Utah's portion of a $50 million contingency fund which has been released by the Bureau of the Budget for FHA operating loans, Moss said. ne stated tnat in utan, as in many other States, the additional allocation is needed to continue operation of the program. And the Farmers Home Administra-tion, in answer to an inquiry by the Senator, said that even this amount may not meet all the requests from qualified farm and ranch aperators through the fis-cal year which ends on June 30. Senator Moss said that, for the fiscal year, Congress appropri-ated $275 million for FHA oper-ating loans for the nation, an increase of 60 per cent over the Eisenhower budget recommen-dations. Of this, $225 million was made immediately available to FHA. The balance of $50 million was placed in the contingency fund which the Bureau of the Budget is now releasing. The en-tire amount appropriated for the previous fiscal year was $232 million. In Utah, these amounts were available for FHA operating loans: in fiscal 1961, $2,397,000; in fiscal 1962, $2,750,000, to which the $700,000 allocation is being added. Two cows were grazing along side a highway when a tank load of milk on its way to the distrib-utor happened to pass by. On one side of the truck in big red letters was a sign which read, "Pasteuri-zed, homogenized, standardized, Vitamin A added." One cow then turned to the other and said, "It makes you feel sort of inade-quate, doesn't it?" Theme Correctors Seen As Aid to Learning Writing The only way for young people to learn to write well is to write copiously, get careful individual criticism and then rewrite. But overburdened English teachers can't possibly handle the many papers pupils should be writing. Consequently far too many young people are not learning to express themselves well. Prince ton, New Jersey, is one of 120 school systems working to solve this vexing problem, thanks to the efforts of volunteer theme correctors in a school-sponsore- d plan. Suzanne Hart Strait describes the project in Parents' Magazine. Its purpose is to increase the quantity and improve the quality of student writing, without add-ing to the burdens of already overworked teachers. College-educate- d housewives with a background in English work individually with half a dozen pupils each. They grade at home compositions assigned by regular English teachers and written in classtime. Every two weeks the theme correctors hold individual ten-minu- te confer-ences with their youngsters, and each mistake is gone over and marked. Since rewriting is considered the most valuable aspect of the program, students rewrite their papers, which are again discussed individually. Improvement for the most part is "magical," says Mrs. Strait. She believes that cajoling, scorning, reasoning and joking with the youngsters plus bad marks, mostly for careless-ness, bring about noticeable im-provement. There are just not enough regular English teachers avail-able to take care of all our pres-ent and future students. Volun-teers like Mrs. Strait help fill a big need, devoting time for in-dividual attention which makes all the difference.
