STATE IS ‘LAB’ FOR 4 WAYS OF HOME FINANCE

Experiment in Low-Rent Work Studied for Fixed Policy.

Indiana has become a laboratory in which four methods of financing public, low-rent housing are being tested, according to Walter E. Stanton, State Housing Board secretary. The experiment has evolved

_ from the efforts of Indiana cities to

solve their slum problems—each in its own way, he said. Still in. the “test-tupe”’ stage, the experiment is being watched by State Housing Board members who believe its results may determine a fixed policy of future public housing financing in the state. Indianapolis and Evansville have built their housing projects with the PWA providing the capital, and the city the land and municipal services. PRA

Make Another Date

} “I guess we've gotten along as well as anyone,” Mrs. Schwalmier decided. “Of course, we’ve had our ‘cat scraps,” but they never amounted to very much. “Sometimes,” she continued, “it doesn’t seem as if I'd ever been single. Then again, these 50 years don’t seem to have been any time at all.” ’ A sort of tentative date was made for another visit and picture on the occasion of their 60th anniversary. Mrs. Schwalmier said they would be there “if the good Lord wants us to be.” : And then, as a parting admoni-
