Wrangell Declared
Disaster Area by RFC
WASHINGTON, <yP)—The Re
construction Finance Corporation
Monday declared Wrangell, Alas
ka to be a disaster area, Delegate
Bartlett told a reporter.
Wrangell was the scene of a
million-dollar business district
fire earlier this month. Bartlett
said the RFC designation would
liberalize RFC loan provisions to
permit rehabilitation loans.
Like thousands of couples, my hus
band and I are looking to the day
when we can build our dream home
in the country. So we jumped at the
chance to visit one of my dearest
friends, Mona, who has just built a
long, rambling ranch house about
ten miles out of town.
Hubby and I were mighty im
pressed — because it was a darling
place, cut wnat
really amazed us
was to find hot and
cold water every- 4
where — just as
if we had never
left the city limits.
“How do you do
it?” I asked excit- *1
edly. f
In a corner of ^
the basement, we
found a small elec
tric pump and
tank, as neat and
streamlined a unit
as the most modern appliance. Ana
the motor was so silent we could
scarcely hear it.
“That’s the answer to a suburban*
ite’s prayer,” Mona said proudly.
She admitted that she and Ted —
that’s her husband — had spent a
lot of time looking a/id finally de
cided on this improved Rapidayton
electric water system.
Frankly, it was all Greek to me,
but Ted explained that this Rapi
dayton pump has axial flow —the
same principle used in jet engines.
He said it was the first major im- |
provement in centrifugal pumps in j
fifty years. Although I couldn’t fol
low him completely, I could certain
ly see that farm folks and suburban
ites can now have water service
which is just as completely depend
able as that enjoyed by their city
cousins. And a look at Mona’s elec
tric bill proved it is really econom
ical, too.
So when I build my own dream
home, I know I can have all the
water I want, when I want it. And
if you live on a farm or in the sub
urbs, maybe there's a tip here for
you,too!
