Principles Involved in tho Fight Today, Says the Congressman at Enthusias¬ tic Meeting in Flourtown—Boyd and Zimmerman   Speak.
"principles, and not peisonalties, are inviilveil In the polituial comii.ilKn to¬ day," said Congressman l>itter ad¬ dressing a gathering of 50 or more workers of tiie \\"hitoniarsh Valley at ]>lourtown on We.lneKday night of last week, and he continued; "These prin¬ ciples depend upon the nuiintenanee cf representative government. They depend upim the continuance of a legislative branch of the government whi<'h will seek to represent the people rather than blindly accept a program provided ty the White House. The absolute cndor^)^mcnt by legiislative candidates of executive dictation nuUi- lies the spirit of representative govern¬ ment and makes the legislative branch of our govermnent a most expensive luxury. America dloes |not neec^ a House of Kepresentatives and a Sen¬ ate, if it is simply to be a rubber stamp of approval for executive dom¬ ination   and   dictation."
Mr. Oitter deplored the use of pub¬ lic funds for the spread of political and party propaganda, citing an article issued by the federal adminis¬ tration through its department of agriculture. It is ostensibly an infor¬ mative bulletin on the benefits to be derived by the farmers as a result of the program of the Agricultural Ad¬ justment Administration. In ¦ fact, it was a piece of political propagandn. Throughout the pamphlet exception is taken to those who have not accepted and approved the Sovietized plan ad¬ vocated by the Department of Agri¬ culture The pamphlet should have Veen paid for by the Democratic party's campaign committee, but the expense tliereof is liorne by the tax¬ payers of our nation: "The taxes which you pay and which the citizens of our county .and state puy helped to provide the funds for the prepara,- tioii, publication iind dissemination of ihis piece of political propaganda. It ivas paid for by the vvoi'klng men who, *s a result of increasing taxes, must pay more for the necessities of life ns a result of the administration's progi-am. It was paid for by those who face diiriculty and distress throughout  this  land  of ours."
State Senator lioTd stressed the im¬ portance of voting the straight Xte- publican ticket in order to "maintain the commonwealth .ns begun by oiu' forefathers and not to allow any form of centralized power to gain a foot¬ hold and thus jeopardize the govern¬ ment."
Wm. n. Zimmerman, candidate for the assemi.ly dwelt upon the .abilities of the candidates for public oflice, pointing out the value of competency and experience in the discharge ot public business. lie paid tribute to each of tho candidates on the Re¬ publican ticket and urged the work¬ ers to advocate experience .and com¬ petency upon the electorate in the choice  of  candidates  for  public  office.

Chairman Ralph E. Frey Outlines Methods of Obtaining Such Loans for Property Improvements—Owners Asked  to   Make  Survey  of   Needs
The .N.mbler Mettor Housing Com- mitlee .announce that _the Ambler Trust Company ajid the Ambler Na¬ tional IVank are the local agencies authorized by the Federal Housing Administration to make loans under Title I of the National Housing Act, .and .are re.ady t'> go ahead In accord¬ ance with the rules and requirements of  the  Housing  .Vdniinlstration.
Tlie mone.v is made a.valInble;4o bor¬ rowers as "chai-iicter Icuuis" through those lending agencies only, according to General Chturman b'rcy of the Ambler Better H<mies Program. Nevler does the borrower deal directly with the   Federal   Hou.sing  Administration.
Property owners who receive a regular income and Avho are found to be good credit ri.sks may borrow. Financial agencies are insured by the Federal Housing Administration
against 100 percent of all I'-Jss, pro¬ vided the total of sucli lo.ss does not exceed 20 jiercent of the total volume of   credits  advanced.
R.'ilph E'.. Frey gives a concise tuin- mary of the method of obtaining a loan, as follow:
1. A Modernization Loan is solely tor the purpose of repairing, altering, or Iniiirovlng your home or i>thei- buildin^gs. Diversion of the money to other  purpose is  prohibited.
2. The loan coniiot be foi- loss than $10C or more than $2,000. The (borro^ver must have a regular source of Income equal to at least live times the .annual rePii.vments on the money ^borrowed.
3. The loan can be made for terms of 1 to 3 years (.5 years in( special cases), but lm,a,v be paid in full earlier than the maturity date if the Borrow, er desires.
4. Ma.'iimu.m clia.rges, including in¬ terest and all foes, cannot exceed an amount equivalent to $5 per $100 of tlie original .face amount oit a 1-year note,   deduelible   in  advance,
n. The property owner must file a I'roperty Owner's Credit Statei^ent, showin.g his linancial condltiun, sources and amount of income, and other intorm.atio.n nece.s<ary to deter¬ mine lliis ^ibility to rel>ay the loan.
If the l>ank considers the improve¬ ments advistible, and the property owner able to meet the jiaymenls when due, it can Aidvance the money on .the personal note of the property owner. No mortga.go or .eollatefi-al se¬ curity is necessary unless the bank oftin-ials deiniand it (or state laws re¬ quire  it).
t'haii'm.an Frey asks eacli property owner to do the>3e things:
"l-iook over your properties, espec¬ ially j'oiir lionie, and determine what imprrVements are necessary or ad- vifable. Get the exact estimates on their costs. Take these estimates to your \xi.n,k or other lending institution and apply for a Modernlzatioin Lonn, whiich you should gsrt If tbe Imiirove- ments are justifiable and your inco'me sutllclent to repay the loan. Then sign tho n'te and tell the contractor to .start at once. II you are doing the job yourse'lf, buy the materials .and go aheiid   with  the   work.
".An imiHU-tant point, loo," Mr. Frey .said, "is that every repair project un- idertaken now results in a saving to the propei'ty owner in two ways: I'irst, reconditioning tliut seems of minor imivirtance at the present time will ir.'cvcnt ,,co;^tlier >epa,lr 'Jobs latta- on; and second, the cost of buiidltig material.^ and labor ai-e likely to rise as 'business conditions im¬ prove."
watch for the opening date. A con¬ tract had Ixien signed with the Uni- ver.sal Producing Company to put on a show entitled, "In the Money." The date of which will be announced later.
Ueafrirmin.g their previous an¬ nouncement to support the Ambler ^¦elebrations' Committee Hallowe'en parade and celebration 100 percent, tlie members agreed to have the post i detail a uniform unit lo assist in policing  the   parade.
