MARKED GAIN IN
JUNE HIP. LOANS;
FARMERS BENEFIT

Figures released by Hon. J. L.
Ralston, Minister of Finance,
show that more than 110,000 loans
have now been made under the
Home Improvement Plan. The
volume of these loans to June 30,
1940, now stands in excess of $44,-
000,000. During June, loans num-
bering 3754 were reported to the
Department. The volume of these
loans was $1,516,270, or an increase
of $118,300 over May.

An analysis of the June applica-
tions discloses.a wide variation in
the type of improvements being
undertaken. Loans range from $36
for insulation, $100 to redecorate,
$250 for a new kitchen, and $400
for a sunroom and additions, to
$600 for a new heating system and
painting, and $1.750 to convert a
single family house to a duplex.
In the case of rural properties,
improvements to the other farm
buildings as well as to the house
may be financed. Loans to owners
living in rural communities rang-
ed from $50 to paint the house,
$80 for a new well, $150 for re-
pairs to the barn, and $300 to in-
stall electricity, to $700 for plumb-
ing and a complete water system,
and $1000 for additions and im-
provements to the house.

“SLIM” WEBB STILL
AT THE OLD STAND

A number of people, either read-
ing or hearing of the announce-
ment that Herbert Webb, proprie-
tor of a service station in Matsqui
village, had sold this business, are
reported to have confused him
with Alvin W. “Slim” Webb, who,
though no relation, has long oper-
ated a service station on the Mats-
qui boundary of Abbotsford. In
an announcement in this issue,
“Slim” Webb emphatically clears
up any doubts on the subject.

NHA LOANS FOR
600 UNITS SHOW
GAIN FOR JUNE

_ The Hon. J. L. Ralston, Mini-
ster of Finance, announces that
National Housing Act loans num-
dering 594 were approved in June.
This is an increase of 47 loans
over the number approved in the
same month last year. The num-
ber of family thousing units finan-
ced was 618, and the volume of
loans was $1,807,981, bringing the
total hbusing units financed to
June 30, 1940, to more than 17,100,
and the volume of loans to above
$58,500,000.

Of the 618 family units approv-
ed, 230, or over 37-per cent., were
financed by loans of $2500 or less.
The number of small 90 per cent.
loans approved to finance single
family houses valued at not more
than $2500 was 120. A special fea-
ture of June operations was the
extension of the lending ‘facili-
ties to eight additional communi-

All Canadian Red Cross supplies

shipped oveaseas are going to
Britain as it is impossible for the
Canadian or British Red Cross
Societies to make shipments to
Europe, F. W. Tuffrey, B.C. Red
Cross Commissioner, announced.
Blankets collected for suffering

refugees and wounded soldiers in
France ‘have not been sent to that
country as the Red Cross could
not take a chance on their falling
into German hands. The first
shipment authorized before the
French armistice was diverted to
England, where they will be stor-
ed until needed. The remainder,
about 60,000 will be held in Can-
ada. Already the Dominion Gov-
ernment has asked for the loan
of a quantity of them to equip
colonist cars carrying overseas
children to their destinations in
Canada.
WILL MEET CHILDREN

If British Columbians expecting
overseas children would notify the
Provincial Red Cross Headquarters
at 213 Marine Building, Vancou-
ver, every effort will be made
through the Nova Scotia and Que-
bec Red Cross Divisions to see
that these children are met and
looked after at the ports of Hali-
fax and Montreal,

MARVEL AT WORK

Members of the Chilliwack Red
Cross branch are marvyelling at the
workmanship of garments knitted
and sewn by Indian residential
school children at Sardis. The
most successful Rose Show ever
put on in the town netted $50 for
the branch treasury.

Red Cross branches have now
been instructed to accept “good as
new” washed or cleaned used
clothing, to be remade if neces-
sary and stored locally for use of
refugees in Canada. No used cloth-
ing is being shipped overseas.

A steady stream of tourist traf-
fic over the Big Bend highway has
resulted in a big up-turn in Revel-
stoke’s business.

There were 352 more new pas-
senger autos licensed to the end
of May than in the same period
in 1939.
