The Youth Tour is over, but for64 people who went, there will bememories for a long time.

l believe one young mansummed it up very well when hewrote "Seeing the places ofinterest in our nation’s capitol,learning more about the work ofthe electric cooperatives, thefellowship of other young people.and, getting all I wanted to eatfor nothing, made this trip awonderful, worthwhile experiencewhich I shall never forget!"

The Youth Tour actually beganlast fall when 12 of our electriccooperatives conducted an essaycontest among the Junior English

Seven fun filled days were in store forthis group as they boarded twoTrailways Buses on June 7th for theYouth "[our 1"o Washington.

classes of those high schools intheir area whose teachers wishedto participate. With cooperativepersonnel furnishing referencematerial many groups took this~ssay on the subject"Our ElectricCooperative- A Partner InProgress" as a class project. Prizesfor winning essays varied with thesponsoring cooperatives, but onJune 7th sixty-four essaywlnners,’~Miss TECA," English teachersand other chaperones took off for7 glorious days of sight-seeing.

The two chartered buses leftNashville under direction of T. O.Walker, TECA’s Director of PublicRelations, about 7:30 a.m. onSaturday, June 7th. Four stopswere made to pick up participantsas we drove thru their areas, andlate that evening we rolled intothe world famous Natural Bridge,Va., for our first night’s stay.Many new acquaintance s had beenmade on that day and here theywere assigned permanent room-mates with not more than fourper room.

After dinner the group marcheddown the path to the naturalbridge, which is one of the sevenwonders of the world. As theevening twilight settled over thehills we witnessed the "Drama ofCreation," a most impressiverendition of the seven days of cre-ation using magnificent coloredlighting on and around the"bridge" with recorded music andnarration floating down from highabove.On Sunday morning after

breakfast we returned to the"bridge" for pictures and daylightobservation.

Historic places such as Mt. Vernon, home of George Washington,are always a thrill to these boys and girls who have read andstudied about them.

Shortly thereafter we gatheredat a band shell, cut in the side ofthe mountain nearby, for a fewmoments of worship and prayerled by Morgan Lorance of DuckRiver E. M. C. and then sang the

.hymn "How Great Thou Art."Few church choirs have ever sungwith more inspiration.

At noon on Sunday we ate lunchin a Charlottesville, Va., cafeteria.In the line behind our group wereseveral local couples who wantedto know all about the tour. Weswelled with pride when thesepeople remark ed--" You have oneof the nicest mannered groups ofyoung people we have ever seen,and we see quite afew of them herein our college town." This was sotrue and we were never embar-rassed by the actions ofourYouthTour boys and girls. One of theEnglish teachers who accom-panied us on the trip expressedit this way in a letter to hercooperative manager -- "Thiswas a chance to see over 1000clean-cut, wholesome, ruralAmerican youth invade Washing-ton, D. C .... "

Before leaving Charlottesvillewe drove out to Monticello, thelovely home of Thomas Jefferson.Taking the guided tour, our groupwas amazed at the engineeringabilities of this great statesman.

Late Sunday afternoon with adrizzling rainfall we drove intoArlington, Va., and many got theirfirst glimpse of our nation’s capitolcity with its stately monumentsand buildings just across thePotomac River. That evening thegroup went swimming, exploringthe huge Marriott Motor Inn, and

meeting some of the 1000 YouthTour delegates from the other 27states.

Everybody was up early Mon-day morning when our tourbeganwith the changing of the guard atthe Tomb of the Unknown anda visit to the graves of PresidentJohn Kennedy and Senator RobertKennedy in Arlington Cemetery.Later in the morning we visitedthe headquarters of the NationalRural Electric Cooperative Ass’n.and our young people saw howtheir cooperative back home wasjoined with more than 975 othersin the nation to give strength tothe rural electrification program.

Monday afternoon we drove outto Mt. Vernon the home of ourfirst President. While the youthwere touring the grounds, Irelaxed on the huge veranda in arocking chair and fell intoconversation with a gentlemanwho worked for a private powercompany in a sister state. Hewasintrigued by the story of our tourand remarked--"I wonder whymy company doesn’t do somethinglike this."

That evening we joined severalother state groups for a mostenjoyable, starlit boatride up thePotomac River.

On Tuesday we visited ournation’s Capitol and the offices ofTennessee’s Senators and Con-gressmen. Youthful eyes dancedwith excitement as many beheldthe grandeur of the Capitol forthe first time, and as someonesaid, "I never thought I wouldhave the chance to come here."Both of our Senators were out of

Have you toured one of today’smodern all electric mobile homes?If you haven’t, you may be in fora surprise. No longer are mobilehomes small, cramped temporarytrailers. The only thing today’smobile homes have in commonwith their predecessor, the trailer,is wheels. Today’s electric mobilehomes are attractive, comfortable,and convenient.

A very basic reason for thepopularity of mobile homes is theirlow price and easy financing. Onecan see these two reasons areparticularly important to theyoung married couple. Most youngmarrieds have little extra cashor savings to acquire furnishings.For one monthly payment, theyhave a furnished home in which tolive and are also working towardsownership.

Mobile homes are also enticingto retired couples. Less space isneeded for them, and there are farfewer maintenance problems tocope with.

The current average retail priceis $5700 (12’ x 60’) or about$8 per square foot, depending uponfurnishings and equipment.

Mobile homes are fully equipped;major appliances, furniture, drap-eries, lamps, and carpeting are ailincluded in the initial purchaseprice.

Total electric mobile homes aretotally equipped and ready tomove into. Once the home islocated, only three connections arenecessary -- electricity, water,and sewer.

Total electric mobile homes havea ~Gold Seal" affixed to them toindicate that they are total electricand of high quality.

In order to qualify for a seal,the home must conform with theseminimum requirements:

1. The mobile home must useelectricity as its total energysource.

2. The mobile home must bebuilt to comply with the require-ments of the U.S.A. StandardA~[ 19-1 and the National ElectricCode.

3. The mobile home must beinsulated so that its heat loss willnot exceed 184 watts per squarefoot per degree design tempera-ture differential (difference be-tween inside and outside tempera-ture).

The latest features of mobilehomes include durable brand-name vinyl floors, hardwood pan-eling, sliding glass doors, tiiebaths, prefabricated fireplaces,central vacuum cleaners, andbuilt-in stereo and intercom sys-tems. Once inside, it is hard todistinguish a mobile home from aconventional home.

Floor plans are available withone, two and three bedrooms. Bed-rooms range in size from eightto twelve feet square. Bathroomsare more than ample size. Manyof them are large enough to ac-commodate a two-sink vanity. Oneand a half and two bathrooms arenot uncommon in today’s mobilehomes.

Most women are more interestedin the kitchen than any other roomof the house. All electric mobilehome kitchens are attractive andconveniently arranged. Like itscounterpart in any conventionalhome, the kitchen is planned withthe triangle rule in mind, allowingthe homemaker to move from one

work area to another- usuallyfrom refrigerator to sink to range.These kitchens come in a varietyof shapes--U-shaped, L-shaped,~arallel wall and others.

Every inch of kitchen space iswell planned for maximum use.There appears to be more pre-planning in mobile home kitchensthan in many conventional kitch-ens to insure maximum use ofspace.

Cabinets are built right in, somecontain lazy susans, slide-outshelves, tray slots and china cab-inets. Planning desks are an in-tegral part of many of the mobilehomes.

The mobile home like its stand-still counterpart has coordinatedkitchen colors. Dependable elec-trical appliances come in a choiceof gay colors--avacado, harvest,coppertone and white.

Modern electric ranges, refrig-erators, exhaust hoods, andwaterheaters are standard features intotal electric mobile homes. Ad-ditional features which are op-tional include dishwashers anddisposers. With all these elec-trical servants, Mom can breezethrough meal preparation andspend more time with her family.

Have you been surprised atmany of the features that all elec-tric mobiles have to offer?Today’smobile homes are a far cry fromthe first ~trailers." Many peoplestill have the unattractive trailerimage in their minds instead ofthe totally new, spacious, electricmobile home. Now or inthe future,remember fresh, clean, modern,electric mobile homes make familyliving more convenient and com-fortable.

A Co.opHome Economist

Speaksoj Many Things

By Floyd RobertsElectrification Advisor

Gibson County E. M~ C.

One afternoon recently, I walked into the officeof Mrs. Robbye Nowell, home economist of GCEMC,who was being interviewed by Mrs. Nina Cash,home economics instructor at Peabody High School,Trenton, Tennessee. Upon listening to a recordingof the interview, I felt that this information wouldbe of interest to many of THE TENNESSEEMAGAZINE readers in that it will help thembecome more familiar with the many services offeredby this cooperative and other cooperatives.

What was the purpose of this interview? Upontalking with Mrs. Cash and Mrs. Nowell, I learnedthat it was one of the requirements of a course ineducational psychology which Mrs. Cash is takingat the University of Tennessee at Martin. She wasto have an interview with someone in the pro-fessional field of her choice; thus Mrs. Cashinterviewed the home economist with the GibsonCo. Electric Membership Corporation.

This story features that part of the programcarried on by the home economist of GCEMC andwill differ somewhat from programs conducted byother cooperatives throughout the state. Eachcooperative is an individual organization and, ofcourse, the service which it renders to its membersis designed to meet their needs.

Mrs. Cash will use this recording not only for thecourse she is taking at the University but also inthe classroom.

I’m sure the poet Shakespeare had never heardof a home economist when he wrote--

All the world is a stageAnd all the men and women merely playersThey have their exits and their entrancesand one man in his time plays many parts.

Yet how perfectly he describes the work of a homeeconomist in the electrical industry.

In any successful program, she must play manyparts. She must be a cook, a laundress, anedt[cator, an artist, a journalist, a promoter, afriend, and good will ambassador to all with whomshe comes in contact.

The first objective of the Public Relations De-partment of Gibson Co. Electric, of whicl~ Mrs.Nowell is a member, is to help provide maximumservice to its members- promoting goodwill-noting the members’ needs and planning ways theCooperative can help meet these needs.

To begin the recording, Mrs. Cash first asked

Robbye Nowell shows the features of an electronic ovento Miss Mable Countess, Mrs. Joe Page and Mrs. Joyce Orr.

Mrs. Nowell if she could have her permission to usethis recording in her classes at school since sheplans to teach a unit on careers in home economics.She felt this would be very helpful to the girls bygiving them first-hand information from someone inthis area of work. Because the Public RelationsDepartment is interested in helping educate theyouth of this area, Mrs. Nowell graciously gave herconsent.

Following are some excerpts from the interview.Mrs. Cash: ~’What are some of the main reasons

one would choose to become a home economist?"Mrs. Nowell: ’~Possibly one of the main reasons

is there are many fields wide open to any girl whochooses professional work as a home economist.She can pursue careers in home economicsinstruction, home demonstrations, dietetics, re-search with appliances and textile manufacturers,interior designing, costume designing, or with homeservice departments of distributors of electricalenergy to name only a few of the fields open to her.Since the field of home economics is a growingprofession, there is a constant demand for morehome economists. Another reason for choosing sucha profession would be the pleasant environment inwhich she will work. For many, the reason wouldbe a desire to be helpful in raising the standards ofliving. In choosing this profession, one must beinterested in people, be interested in the family,and interested in helping to educate them so thatthey may live better in their communities, and intheir homes, thereby helping to improve standardsof living."

Mrs. Cash: ~What are some of the responsibilitiesand duties of being a home economist?"

Mrs. Nowell: ~’There are many for the homeeconomist with an electric cooperative. Some arepreparing lighting, wiring, kitchen planning, layouts.helping people know what they need and wherethey need it, demonstrating proper use and careof electrical equipment, to keep members informedof new developments and better uses of electricity,participating in planned activities of the stateextension service, vocational home economicsdepartments~ 4-H Clubs, and civic organizations.We also cooperate with appliance dealers,distributors, and manufacturers in promotingelectrical equipment. Another responsibility is thatof purchasing the five major pieces of equipmentfor the more than 20 home economics departmentsin the GCEMC area and the development and

Page 11: Youth Tour to Washington See Pages 6°7€¦ · number and rneH to The Tennessee Magazine, Box 7232, Nashville, Tenn. 3721 0. THE TENNESSEE MAGAZINE ;s published monthly as an educafionai

directing of a training program for instuctors in the~.se and care of new equipment. Then at the end(,f the year execute the sale of this equipment. Ofcourse, there are always articles to be prepared forTHE TENNESSEE MAGAZINE. There are radioand television programs to be presented as wellas the preparing of materials for news medias. Atthe present time we are involved with helping tomake final arrangements for the Annual MembersMeeting of the Cooperative which will be heldAugust 21. There are still other duties andresponsibilities too numerous to mention."

Mrs. Cash: "I’d like to know some of thequalifications of a home economist with an electriccooperative."

Mrs. Nowell: "This varies with differentcooperatives. For GCEMC she must have a BSdegree in home economics from an accrediteduniversity being well versed with skills andtechniques in all areas of this profession. She musthave a knowledge of electricalhousehold equipment,lighting, wiring, and electrical usages. Naturallythe one who fulfills this position will have specialinterest in public relations and public speaking."

Mrs. Cash: "Does one have to have furthertraining other than a BS in home economics to beemployed by an electric power distributorT’

Mrs. Nowell: "It is possible to secure this jobwithout further training, but the cooperative wouldcertainly do some training before you were sent outinto the field to do the work."

Mrs. Cash: "How would you suggest that girlsmake application for jobs such as this?"

Mrs. Nowell: "My suggestion would be that sheshould secure names of cooperatives needing homeeconomists and then contact the managers of thesecooperatives."

Mrs. Cash: "Has electricity made any differencematerially in rural or urban centers?"

Mrs. Nowell: "There are as many conveniences inrural areas as there are in urban areas. Because ofthese conveniences, we fred many people movinginto the rural areas. Electricity has played atremendous role in making these conveniencespossible to those living in rural areas. Conveniencessuch as water systems, heating and cooling,refrigeration and taking the drudgery out of manytasks. Other things that have helped rural livingare the paved highways, telephone service, andmodern modes of transportation."

Mrs. Cash: "Is there a real demand today forhome economists?"

Mrs. Nowell: ~’One of the greatest demands todayis in that of teaching, yet at the same time moreand more home economists are needed in businessand industry. In the electrical distribution industryin Tennessee, there are at least four electric co-opsnow looking for qualified home economists."

Firs. Cash: "Would you say that your work ismore or less ~outine ?"

Mrs. Nowell: ~Certainly we could never say it isroutine because it is so diversified and varied. Notwo da~,s are the same."

Mrs. Cash: ~’By listening to what you have saidtoday, I see there is never a dull moment."

Mrs. Nowell: ~This is what makes my work sointeresting."

~esMrs’t Cash: "What are some of the things you likeabout being a home economist?"

Mrs. Nowell: ’~The main advantage is that weare privileged to work with members in this evercbaaging world of ours that they may live better

electrically. Many times we feel that science isspending all its time developing ways and meansof getting to the moon, but at the same time theyare busy developing ways that we can live betterwith less effort and have more conveniences thanwe have had."

Mrs. Cash: ~’Most of the time, do you work justan eight-hour day?"

Mrs. Nowell: "Well, there is always an eight-hour day, but many days there is a need to worklonger. You don’t work just from eight until five,I’ll say that."

Mrs. Cash: "I thought that was what you wereindicating. Is your volume of work steady or areyou busier at one time more than another?"

Mrs. Nowell: "I can’t say that I am busier atany particular time because there is always a jobto be done."

Mrs. Cash: ’~How does this type work affect youand your familyT’

Mrs. Nowell: "In most instances I can be at homeeach night. Very seldom do I have to be away forlong periods of time."

Mrs. Cash closed the interview by expressing herappreciation and thanks to Mrs. Nowell for a mostinformative interview and assured her that this willbe most helpful in the course she is taking at theUniversity as well as in the classroom.

It is my hope that you as a reader will also findthis informative.

Floors Are For Walking On...So How Do YOL Keep T/ em. Clean?

Floors have a way of being walked on--the home-maker notwithstanding.

For those who decry the effort and cost involved inkeeping their floors and carpets bright looking, theproblem may well be solved with an electric floor pol-isher. The "back break" has been taken out of floorcare and for the first time it’s a stand-up job. And anelectric floor polisher will pay for itself if you get onethat also cleans rugs properly.

If you figure the sizes of your rugs and multiply thearea by 10 cents per square foot, the average cost ofprofessional in-home cleaning, you will probably findthat you will pay for the rug cleaning electric floorpolisher in just one using. Then you’ll also have theappliance for easy maintenance of hard surfaced floors.

Altb~ugh floors are constantly underfoot, manyhomemakers are not aware of the simple guide linesthat can keep their floors ready for inspection all thetime. Regular care of carpets should include quickpickup with a carpet sweeper, frequent vacuum clean-ing, quick attention to spots and occasional rugcleaning.

Light vacuuming requires three individual strokesover a given area of carpet--forward, back and for-ward. Thorough vacuuming requires up to sevenstrokes, especially if you use a cleaner which providessuction only. The best vacuum cleaners combine strongsuction with a carpet agitator bar.

If you can identify what caused a spot, follow thecarpet manufacturer*s directions for removal. If youcannot identify the stain, apply a solution made of oneteaspoon each of a neutral detergent and white vinegarto a quart of warm water. Use clean cloth and wipegently from the edge of soiled area toward the center.Blot with a dry cloth at intervals. Dry the carpet. Ifstain still shows, apply a dry-cleaning fluid such asused on clothing, dry the carpet and brush the pilegently to restore texture.

When cleaning your carpets with an electric rug(:leaning scrubber-polisher, do it before the carpet be-comes too soiled and use the liquid ahampoo recom-mended by the. manufacturer. It is best to move furni-ture to one side of the room, waiting until the carpetdries to do the other half. If furniture must be replacedon damp rug, put aluminum foil or plastic film underthe legs.

Carpets should be dried as quickly as possible byraising off the floor in the case of rugs or by directingthe air blast from a fan or vacuum cleaner nozzleagainst it. Rugs receiving heavy traffic should becleaned two or three times a year, since clean rugswear longer.

On-location cleaning is a great convenience and it isalso economical, eliminating cost of taking up and re-|aying carpet and minimizing shrinkage. For re-dyeng,repairs and special spot removing, profesisonal cleanersshould be used.

For hard surface floors, an electric floor scrubber-polisher provides complete care. Unlike self-polishingwaxes, the polishing type can ~e re-buffed many timesso it always has a just-waxed look. The National SafetyCouncil recommends a thin, even coat of any wax thatmust be polished as the safest. The more you polish it,the harder, drier and safer wax becomes.

Water is th~ enemy of wood floors. The best protec-tion is provided by paste or liquid wax and an electricbuffing machine. If floors are dirty, a cleaning waxshould be used. Two thin coats of wax are better thanone heavy coat, but wax should be thoroughly dry andbuffed before the second application. Stains and oldwax can be removed from linoleum and vinyl floorsin a breeze with a scrubber-polisher. Most good floorpolishers have dispensing systems for the cleaningsolution.

If light spots appear, on wood floors, rub with a dampc~oth, dry and rewax. Heal and caster marks can beremoved by rubbing lightly with fine steel wool andrewaxing. Use the same s~eel wool treatment for waterspots and ink stains. If warping, unevenness or darken-ing occur with wood floors~ eliminate the source ofmoisture, sand, refinish and rewax with solvent-basedwax.

If an orbital action electric floor polisher is used,it will leave no streaks or swirl marks and you canclean right up to the walls an.d baseboards withoutsplashing.

MANAGEMENT |S KEYTO MILK PRODUCTION

Special attention to every management detail is necessaryduring hot weather to keep dairy cows from going into acostly "summer slump" in milk production, cautions RaySpann, University of Tennessee Extension assistant dairyhusbandman.

Dairymen can help ovecome this slump by feeding highquality forage with an adequate amount of a low fiber grainration, he continues. Recent research has shown that dairycows perform better on a low fiber, high energy rationduring hot weather.

"Hay consumption of dairy cows exposed to daily tem-peratures of 90 degrees was only half as much as cows ina 50 degree environment," Spann says. "Therefore, onlyhigh energy feeds should be provided so that animals willget enough nutrients for maximum milk production. Droughtypasture or tough, over-mature grasses are major factorsinfluencing the summer slump."

Providing adequate shade and plenty of fresh water is alsoimportant in maintaining milk production, Spann adds. Cowswill drink three or four times more often on hot days andwill consume up to five times as much water.

SOIL TEST FALLSEEDED PASTURES

A good fertilization program is a key factor for success ifyou plan to sow permanent pasture this fall, says Joseph N.Matthews, University of Tennessee Extension assistantagronomist.

"The first step in your fertilization program is to determineyour lime and fertilizer needs by soil testing," he continues."Send the soil sample to the University of Tennessee SoilTesting Laboratory for testing. Based on the soil test results.the laboratory will make a fertilizer and lime recom-mendation. Recommendations will ~be made for applicationsat seeding and for annual maintenance applications."

Fertility problems can be corrected more efficiently beforethan after seeding, the agronomist points out. Prior toseeding, fertilizer and lime can be worked into the soil tothe depth of plowing. This method assures better distributionof plant nutrients in the soil and helps insure success fornew seedings. If you wait until after seeding, these materialsmust be surface applied and more time will be required forr~utrient deficiencies to be corrected.

The annual fertilizer applications recommended will main-tain the fertility level of the soil and will provide nutrientsfor continued productive growth, he concludes.

Don’t forget, the new address of the Soil TestingLaboratory is 5201 Marchant Drive, Nashville, Tennessee37211.

START FITTING 4-HDAIRY HEIFERS NOW

Any 4-H Club member who plans to show a dairy animalshould start fitting the heifer now for her to look her best~t the fai~s this year, reminds Herbert Holt, University of

AUGUST, 1 969

Tennessee Extension assistant dairy husbandman."The time is near when 4-H Dairy Club members will be

entering their dairy project animals in competition in thevarious shows and fairs across the state," he says.

Holt points out the following areas that need immediateattention if the dairy animal is going to look its best:

(1) Close inspection of the animal’s feet. If the feet arelong, now is a good time to trim them because thiswill give the animal a.mple time to learn to walkcorrectly.

(2) The heifer should be broken to tie and lead as soon aspossible. The youngster is urged to be especially care-ful that the animal does not get loose. Once the heiferfinds she can get loose, she will try it often.

(3) The heifer should be kept in the dairy barn during theday time, then turned out in a dry lot during the night.This wi!l help condition the hair coat which usuallyrequires about six weeks.

(4) High quality hay, such as timothy or orchardgrass-clover mixture, should be fed in small amounts severaltimes each day. The amount of concentrate fed willdepend on the condition of the animal.

Leading the heifer, keeping the animal’s head up, stoppingand posing properly, teaching the animal to back up a step,brushing, clipping and grooming are also important in pre-paring the dairy animal for showing.

The 4-H Club member’s primary objective should be tomake the animal look her best and win on the day of theshow, Holt emphasizes. To achieve this goal, the youngstermust start preparing the animal in plenty of time.

FARM BRIEFS

The beef cow herd needs attention throughout the year.Failure to do the right thing for the cow at the right timecan affect profits drastically.

Although exports of beef from the United States to Japan,nay not be large now, there seems to be a good op-portunity for our beef industry to profit from a trade of thistype.

A waterless period can mean trouble for crops, but a lackof water can spell disaster for homes and farm buildings incase of fire.

The dairyman should remember that good sanitation ’andchemical fly control go hand-in-hand. Chemical fly controlshould not be used as a substitute for good sanitationpractices around the dairy buildings.

Another member of the almosttwo thousand commercial cus-tomers served by the UpperCumberland Electric MembershipCooperative is the Neda LampCompany, which manufactures anattractive and economically pricedhousehold decorative larhp forstores in the South. Like theirlarger industrial cohsins, Mr. andMrs. Adams, who run the plantproper, and Mr. A. B. McCall,the owner, keep a close eye oncost of production. Here againas a similarity, you have peopletaking a basic material and pro-cessing it through an assemblyline to turn out a finished productfor marketing. This, however, ismore of a hand operation inwhichmen and women utilizing semi-artistic skills in molding, finishing,baking and spray painting thehydrocal plaster of paris lampbases turf/out avariety of designsfrom Spanish to traditional.

Mr. Lewis M. Adams is the PlantManager while his wife, Rachel,takes care of the office routine,which can get quite busy whenthe capacity of 200 lamps finishedand packed for distribution to suchpoints as Atlanta, Ga., and Nash-ville, are shipped out of theCarthage factory. One of thelarger buyers of the Neda Lampis the makers of mobile homes inthe area. And of course, as youmight expect, the lamps areproudly displayed and sold in thestore of the owner, A. B. McCall.

Electric power use is growingsteadily in the mid-state areaof Carthage and while therea~’e some gains in population, itappea~rs that industrial andcommercial use of cooperativeservices is the key to this growth.Continuing ~o meet the demand ofthe large industry and smallfa(:tory helps to set the stage forc~m~munity growth and createsadditional employment.

(Editor’s note: The ConsumerCredit Protection Act, popularlyItnown as the "Truth-in-Lending’"law, was passed by Congress in1968. But it wasn’t until July 1that the law actually went intoeffect. The following article tellswhat you should look for the nexttime you borrow money or buyanything from a TVset to a house, . time payments.)

t’hinking of borrowing moneya-ain? Or trading in your oldjalopy for a new beast and 36monthly payments?

If you do, you should see adefinite change from years pastin the documents on which youput your legally binding, never-to-be-erased signature. Truth-in-lending is finally here.

But that doesn’t mean you canjust sign that loan or time-pay-ment contract without reading itcarefully. The Federal law thatwent into effect July 1 requireslenders and sellers to tell youa lot of things they didn’t haveto before. You may be surprisedto fmd out how much you weren’ttold.

Loons

On future loan contracts thean:nual percentage of interest andthe total f’mance charge shouldbevery visible.

These are two basic figureswhich many lenders don’t like toput in print, let alone big clearprint. They’d much rather say 2per cent interest a month insteadof 24 per cent interest a year.

CASH

They’d much rather say 10 pay-ments of $12.72 instead of a loanof $100 with total finance chargesof $27.18. But now, they won’thave any choice.Remember that the words

~Tmance charge" don’t mean justthe interest you are paying. Thosewords also may include loan fees,finder’s fees, time price differ-entials, investigation fees, creditlife insurance, points and similarcharges. These additional chargesare to be included in the financecharge ~o give you, the borrower,a better idea of the total amountof money you are paying in orderto borrow.

But some costs, the new lawalso says, may be excluded fromthe finance charge if they areitemized and disclosed to thecustomer. Examples includetaxes, license fees, registrationfees, notary fee s, title examinationfees, appraisal fees and deedappraisal fees.

Charge Accounts

The information above applieswhen you borrow money. Supposeyou have a so-called "open end"charge account onwhich you makepayments of $10 or $20 a monthplus finance charges. From nowon, the department store will haveto tell you a lot more about thatfinance charge.

You must be told, in writing:The conditions under which a

finance charge may be imposed.The time period during which

payment must be made withoutincurring a finance charge.

How the store determineswhat your balance is when itimposes a finance charge.

The method of determiningthe finance charge.

-- The periodic (usually month-ly) interest rate and the annualinterest rate.

--The conditions (for instance,¯ late payment) under whichadditional charges may beimposed and how those additionalcharges are determined.

--A description of any lien thecreditor may acquire on thecustotner’s property.

You won’t find the above onevery monthly statement youreceive, but you must be told itat least once, in print. The monthlystatement should include thefollowing:

--Your unpaid balance at the.beginning of the billing period.

--Amount and date of eachpurchase and a brief description,unless it was provided earlier.

--Any payments you made andany returns, rebates or adjust-ments.

--The finance charge in dollarsand cents.

--The periodic interest rate orrates, used to determine thefinance charge.

--The annual interest rate.--The unpaid balance on which

the finance charge was computed.--Your unpaid balance at the

end of the billing period.

"Big Ticket Items"

The new law also applies whenyou buy a ~big ticket" item andagree to make monthly payments,for instance, on a car or colortelevision set. Here, again, youmust be told in print the annual~terest charge and the total~’h~ance charge, and these otherfacts as well:

~\ UGUST, 1969

--The date on which the financecharge begins.

--The number, amount and duedates of payments.

--The sum of these payments(except in the case of a firstmortgage on a home.)--The amount, or the method

of computing, default of late pay-ment charges.

--A description of any securityinterest of the creditor’s in theitem purchased.

--The .method of determiningthe charge for early repayment.

A Note on Real EstateAny person or organization that

lends money or extends credit toindividuals in amounts less than$25,000 (except for real estate)is covered by the law.

This includes banks, savingsand loan associations, creditunions, consumer finance com-panies, departmen~ stores, otherretail stores, automobile dealers,credit card companies, mortgagebankers, hospitals, doctors,dentists, plumbers and elec-tricians.

Wilful violations of the law willbe punishable by a fine of up to$5,000 and up to a year in jail.In addition, a customer may suea violatior for twice the amountof the finance charges, court costsand reasonable attorney’s fees.

If you need more information,write to the Federal ReserveBoard, Washington, D. C. 20551.

qA statement of any chargesdeducted from a rebate or refund.

Transactions CoveredOne thing lenders won’t have to

tell you is the total finance chargeon a home you are buying. Tellingpeople, Congress felt, might welldiscourage them from buying ahome. But you must be told theannual interest rate.
