FHA Opens Two Day Session In Athens
Farmers Home Administration supervisors and associates from 45 eastern Ohio counties opened a two day meeting at the Berry Hotel to learn new policies for handling Farm Ownership accounts and annual farm ownership meetings. The program includes officials from the FC and ECFL offices and local FHA supervisors in Athens Logan. Local coal strikes show limited impact on Athens with only one dealer having coal and stockpiles kept for heating plants and dairies. City schools conserve heat as rail traffic and electric power supplies remain largely uninterrupted.
