Omaha, Nebraska, Saturday, Dec. 8, 1934 TOWNSEND OLD AGE PENSION Perhaps the greatest ray of hope to warm the feeble hearts and unsteady hands of the 10 million old pdople in the United States, to stimulate them to zealous efforts in the evening of their lives is the Townsend Old Age Pension pl^n. On# must indeed by Outside the pale of Christian brotherhood to sit idly by and watch the work and efforts of these people in an endeavor to carry the message of the Towu send Pension plan, without lending unstint" ingly every means at his command to help carry the message to all of the people. all sides see aged people in their feeble attempt to inform the public of the Townsend Old Age Pension plan and what itmeans, not only to the aged who have at best a dark and dismal future, but also what it means to the reliability ion o these United States . We j readily lend our assistance in placing before the public his plan calculated to steady the faltering steps and make secure the declining years of those who have given a full measure of devotion to these glorious United States. Dr. F. E. ToWnsend, city physician of Long Bench, (kilif., in caring for the indig ent sick whose life’s savings have been swept away or whose daily toil was hardly suffic ient to furnish necessities of life, felt him self impelled to devise a cure for two of soc iety’s menaces want and proverty in old age, nnd the depression. Dr. Townsend’s plan rovides a retirement pension for all citizens of the U. S. over the age of 60 in the sum of $200 per onth. This money made available to traile and industry will at once become a prime factor in the manufacture find purchase of commodities. It will go into the regular channels o trade for clothing, home and other necessities of life. Some of the essentials of the plan are: the pensioner must be a citizen of the U. S., over 60 years of age, and must retire from gainful occupation, his or her record must be free from habitual criminality and the entire pension must be spent from month to month / within the LT. S. ^ This plan as proposed, will remove from the field of industry eight million workers and will solve the unemployment problem. Two billion dollars spent monthly in all sections of the country would give the entire population of the IT. S. additional $14 per capita in spending ability each month, enough to raise the stand ard of living very materially from the present low level, but quite within the nation’s ability to provide. Alms houses would be closed and the necessity for the present dole system would be a,t an end. Democracy Is on trial. Shall we be Christians enough to provide means and sus tenance for the down trodden, aged, and de crepit citizens who lived a glorious past, but face a very uninviting future. We should re tire our old people to the great security of a competency in their old age under their own vine an dfig trees, all fear of proverty, priva tion, and penury gone forever with plenty of money to pay the bill when it shall come due, thereby making our lives a grand example for our posterity. “Lives of great men oft remind us, We may make ourlivessublime, And departing, l^ave ,,a Footprints on the sands of time, Footprints that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main A forlorn and ship wrecked brother, Seeing may take hold again. ” DOES YOUR HOME NEED REPAIR? For the past several years homes In Am erica, and especially homes of Negro citizens, have gradually become in a state of dispair. Many have dejfM^ l impovements on homes because of the economic upheaval that has tested the fiber of the people at large. One may easily look around him and see needed improvements in his home, notice dis comforts that he is suffering because of lack of finance to make needed improvements. Possibly a new coat of paint, a new roof, plumb ing equipment or a newr heating plant would add greatly to the comfort, the appearance, or rentability of the home. The time to make these improvements or repairs is now. The National Housing Act w®s specifically designed to improve one's pro perty, increase its value, appearance, and use fulness. It is possible through this Act to make needed repairs and improve the surroundings for the family. Any property owner may apply for a lo*8!!. He may apply for a loan from $100 to $2,000, depending on his ineome, improvements on any one piece of property. The loan may be extended for a period of thirty-six months. The only security needed is that the borrower have an adequate, regular income. The note need be signed only by the property owner and his wfrfe, if he has one. No raortgage is re quired. The only assurance necssary to be given is that the borrower is the owner of the property, that his income is at least five times the annual payments on the note, that his mort gage, if anv is in good standing, and that there are no past due taxes, interests,or lien against his property, that the proceeds of the loan will be used solely for the improvement of the pro perty. The interest charge on the loan is deduct ed from the loan at the time of making. The entire obligation is payable 36 equal install ments. For example, if one needs $285 for improvements, he may sign a note for $300, payable in 36 equal monthly installments. In tliis case the note would not bear interest the first of the year because the maximum charge permitted, $15, would be included in the face of the note. The payments Would be one thirty-sixth of the entire amount of the note with the new interest charge being made at the end of the first year on the balance due. No other charge need be paid. This type of loan is insured to the lend ing agency by the federal government under the Federal Housing Act. At this season of the year a great waste Off M is occasioned by'attempting to heat homes with furnaces that should be discarded. Plumbing, electrical, and bath room fixtures in many cases could stand replacement. It would no doubt behoove every proprty owner to look about him. No doubt he will find many needed improvements which he does or has not had the money to make, but has promised himself that at the first opportunity those repairs would be taken care of. The #ne chance to keep faith with him self, to insure health and a pleasant home for his family is now through and with the assist ance of the federal government. Cooperating in this governmental enterprise are many fin ancial concerns.. Possibly some owners have made applications -without obtaining results. We therefore are anxious and willing to assist in furthering this project. The columns of our paper ina short -time wnll carry the names of financial institutions who are anxious to help in our immedate community. We hope that owners will feel free to call upon us for any direction needed in helping to make more liv able the American home. THE FLORIDA LYNCHING Lynching of a Negro near Marianna, Fla. a few ights ago for an assault upon a white girl is being declared by all who still believe that this is not the civilized method of dealing with criminals, although it is generally admitted that the same crime for which he was lynched was of such a nature as to justify speedy pun ishment. Meanwhile the movement goes forward for a federal anti-lynching law. Since the state laws and state courts do not seem to be suc cessful in stamping out lynchings which con tinue not only in the South but in the North and as far westward as California, it would seem that the time has eome or the federal gov ernment to deM with the situation bv offering quick justice, such as that which has'been pro vided for kidnapers and other classes of crim inals.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK (Continued from page one) his intention to institute a study into the possibilities of employ ment stabilisation in the industry The President's statement, in p«rt read: “The manufacturers themselves have taken important steps since I first discussed the subject with them some months ago. In addition to whet they have done and are doinp in omitting their national shows and staggering the introduction of new j models, I believe that we should de_ i velop further facts on the se**sonal p : ks and valleys of production in tlmir bearing upon employment. I have not asked the manufacturers to apree that such an inquiry should be made. I have thought it better to bring the inquiry about under my executive powers-” The President ex. , pressed the hope that labor «nd man agement would consider with an open mind the suggestions whi' h may arise out of the inquiry.
