The Committee said many
farmers and ranchers had come
into the FHA office for forms to fill
out were under the impression
that they had until June 30, 1973 to
file for the emergency loans,
according to provisions of a law
signed by President Nixon on Aug.
16, 1972.
However, the emergency loans
program was one of the rural
agricultural programs eliminated
by President Nixon in his recent
budget cuts.

two days before the day he
received the notice.
This means that many of the Lee
County farmers and ranchers who
had planned to file before the
June 30, 1973 deadline are no
longer eligible for the loans, due to
orders received from the FHA
office in Washington, D. C.
The local FHA Committee said
they regret that they had no
advanced notice to allow farmers
and ranchers a chance to get their
applications filled out before the
deadline had passed.
Those who had their papers
filled out and in the local FHA
office by Dec. 27, 1972 are still
eligible for the emergency loans.

The Lay Witness Mission is said
to be a 42-hour experience that
benefits a church in many ways. It
is an experience of sharing and
giving oneself openly in the work
of the church.
The Mission causes a new depth
of fellowship and creates a desire
for involvement in the church.
Another result is that it stimulates
a desire for visitation, both with
members and with those who are
not church members. Contact .
with members encourages parti-
cipation, which in turn generates a
new feeling for the church by the
participant.
Out-of-town guests who have
signed up to attend the Giddings
meeting Friday through Sunday
come from many sections of the
state. Homes have been found for
all of the visitors. General
chairmen for the Giddings Mission
are Dorman Sell and Ronnie
Steen.
