Camp Roberts Area Designated Critical Area for Housing

The Camp Roberts area in California has been designatecl a critical defense area for housing, and creclit controls will be relaxed to help provide l-rousing for in-migrant families of military and civilian personnel stationed or employed at the Camp.

The designation was made by the Defense Productiorr Administration on findings of the DPA's inter-agency Critical Areas Committee.

Pursuant to this designation, and r,vith the concurrencc of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Systenr, the Housing and Home Finance Agency announced that credit cont:ols will be relaxed on 25O units of housing irr the area to help relieve the housing shortage there.

The acute housing shortage in the area grows out of tht: reactivation of Camp Roberts as an Army training center, which has placed a severe strain on communities in the area. The Camp is located three miles from the town of San Miguel, 12 miles from Paso Robles and 23 miles from Atascadero.

Programmed for the area under the relaxed credit terms are 190 rental units and 60 sales units. Of the rentals, 35 will be one-ltedroom rvith a maximum shelter rent of $60. 140 of tr.vo-bedroom rvith a top rent of $67.50, and 15 of three-bedroom rvith a $75 maximum rent. The 60 sales units will consist of 50 two-bedroom houses witl-r a maximum sales price of $8,500 and 10 of three-bedrooms rvith :'. maximum sales price of $9,500.

"The housing programmed for relaxed controls does not reflect total housing demand in the area but rather is limited by the ability of the communities in the area to absorb permanently the type of housing needed," Administrator Itaymond M. Foley of the Housing and Home Finance Agency said. "This represents the maximum assistance that can be given under existing legislation."

Terms of the relaxation are the same as those for areas in u'hicl-r credit restrictions rvere previouslv relaxed. Veterans using loans guaranteed by the Veterans Administration receive more favorable terms than non-veterans who buy ' or build with Federal Housing Administration-insured or non-Government aided loans. Tables showing those terms -for FHA-insured, or VA-guaranteed and non-Governrnent-aided loans-rvill be furnished to lending institutions in the area upon request at the Los Angeles office of FHA, r,vhich will administer the program.

Builclers rvho 'rvish to build rental or sale housing unde;the relaxed controls may obtain forms and other additional information from the Los Angeles office of the FHA, which will be ready to accept applications on July 10, 1951.

Initial approval of applications may be limited to 20 nnits for rent and l0 units for sale for any one applicant. The applicant may, however, apply for additional units which u'ill be considered for approval in order of receipt of application in case the initial distribution does not exhaust the quotas.

Up to 1O units of the sales quota will be days for individual defense workers rvho single units for their orvn occupancy.

A Memory System

Forget each kindness that you do, As soon as you have done it; Forget the praise that falls on you, The moment you have won it; Forget the slander that you hear, Before you can repeat it; Forget each slight, each spite, each sneer Wherever you may meet it.

Remember every kindness done To you, whate'er its measure; Remember praise by others won, And pass it on with pleasure; Remember every promise made, And keep it to the letter; Remember those who lend you aid, And be a grateful debtor.

"Uncle loe" on Book Agents

"Ifncle Joe" Cannon, famous Speaker of tJre House for many years of his life, once paid for a set of book he had purchased from a smooth agent. He paid with a check, and on the back of the check he wrote:

"This check is in full paJrment both legal and moral for sixty volumes of books. The books are not worth a damnand dear at that. We are never too old to learn, but the way your gentlemanly agent came it over your Uncle Joseph is worth the fult amount."

Hubbard on Health

"People who strive for health are headed for the sanitarium, for vitality plus comes only to those who do not think about it; and character likewise is evolved best by those who forget character and lose their lives in service. Dyspeptics are people who have no faith in their digestive apparatus."-Elbert Hubbard.

Herbert Spencer's Philosophy

Herbert Spencer, the great English philosopher and naturalist, taught that our thinking and our well-being are inseparably allied to one another; that .,as a man thinketh, so is he," is a practical, everyday fact of living and enjoy_ ing life.

He believed that cheerful, happy emotions are compa:able to sunshine on plant growtlr-they create health and harmony and as such are constructive. Good will he de_ clared to be sanitary; kindliness to be hygenic; friendship works for health. These happy emotions secrete, says Spencer, a quality in the blood calted anabolism, which is essentially vitalizing and life-producing.

On the other hand fear, hate, and all emotions of un_ kindliness evolve a toxin which tends to clog circulation, disturb digestion, congest the secretions, and stupify the senses; and aims to the dissolution and destruction of life. He believed that all that embitters, saddens, and disap- points produces a chemical change that makes for disaster, and hurries death.

"A poison," said Spencer, ..is only a concentrated form of hate."

"God feeds the birds; but He doesn't throw the food into their nests."

Never Agcin

Be Your Best

If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill, Be the best little shrub by the side of the rill; Be a bush if you can't be a tree; Just the best bush you ever could be.

If you can't be a bush, be a bit of old grass, Along the old road; someone happier make;

If you ban't be a Musky, why then be a bass, Be the liveliest bass in the lake.

'We can't all be captains, we must have a crew, There's something for all of us here;

There's a big work to do, and a lesser to do, And the task we must do is the near.

If you can't be a highway, why then be a trail, If you can't be a sun, be a star;

It is not by your size that you win or you fail, Be the best of whatever you are.

-Douglas Knott.
