The egg hunt will be staged at 10

"We have not abandoned the

it," he said.
The official was responding to
questions concerning Carter’s
forthcoming budget cuts that
are expected to sharply reduce
aid to the cities, youth
employment and other urban
rehabilitation programs.
"You will get a dismantling
of those programs and a
casting aside of the whole
agenda" if inflation persists,
the official said.
The official also said “unless
the Democratic Party gives
evidence it is concerned with
how tax dollars are spent, it is
going to undermine a national
consensus."
Press secretary Jody Powell
told reporters Thursday he did
not know "if any program
would be a complete casualty.”
As to why Carter did not
slash defense spending in the
anti-inflation process, Powell
replied, "The security of our
country has to be the presi-
dent’s No. 1 priority."
Apparently with some eye on
the Tuesday primary, the
administration has given assur-
ances to New York Mayor
Edward Koch concerning urban
cuts. Powell said he was sure
the administration "would be
responsive" to other cities
seeking information on how
much of a budget cut they will
be forced to take.
Carter told a gathering of
business, union, community and
civic leaders Thursday he is
working "hour-in and hour-out"
to reach final agreement with
leaders of Congress and mem-
bers of his administration on
how to balance the fiscal 1981
federal budget.

MRS. MOORE HAS
THERAPY IN TULSA
Mrs. Lloyd Moore, 707 Four-
teenth street, has begun extra
therapy in treatment of an arm
injury suffered Feb. 7 in a traf-
fic accident near Sulphur.
Mrs. Moore is a patient in
room 5120 at St. Francis hospit-
al at Tulsa. It is hoped the extra
treatment will prevent bones in
her forearm from moving to-
gether. The rotating motion of
the arm could be impaired if the
bones shift together.
Mrs. Moore’s mother, Mrs.
Ada Truscott, Kellyville, injur-
ed in the same accident, has
been dismissed from the hospit-
al She was scheduled Thursday
to return to Tulsa for a check of

Noble county commissioners talked about possible estab-
lishment of a Noble county Home Finance trust authority in a
meeting Thursday at the courthouse.
rhe commissioners have placed the matter on their April 7
agenda for further discussion and a possible decision w hether to
proceed
• George Klein, chairman of the board of county commission-
ers, said the commissioners are interested in the trust idea
because it could provide a means for help on home building
interest rates for medium and low income families.
In setting up the trust, the commissioners would have to
adopt guidelines including the maximum income a family could
have and still be eligible for help within the finance authority
program The commissioners are giving some thought to setting
$22,500 annual income as maximum income and below
Klein said local bankers and finance institutions, real estate
people and builders have shown some interest in the trust idea
and had representatives present for the discussions Thursday
Attendance at the meeting included three Oklahoma City
attorneys experienced in setting up trusts of this kind in
Oklahoma City They had been invited to the meeting by Frank
Ley, representing a local finance group
Commissioner Klein stressed that no county tax money
would be involved in establishment or operation of the trust The
Oklahoma public trust act permits establishment of such an
authority on a county-wide basis, he said.
Klein said the trust could bring a sav ing in interest to future
home builders within the city of Perry or outside the city within
the county
Under the operations, a trust would issue bonds that could
be bought by banks or lending agencies. The county government
in no way would be responsible for repayment of these bonds,
Klein said
As home builders qualified for loans through their banker or
lending agency, they would become eligible for a lower interest
rate Klein explained interest rates through the trust program
would be three percent less than whatever the market rate on
interest may be
Klein explained operations by such a home finance
authority are contingent upon federal funds becoming available
in the future to help people building houses. There are no federal
funds available for this type program at present However,
federal funds could become available in the next federal fiscal
year Establishment of a trust now could make Noble county
eligible for assistance when the federal money should become
available, Klein said
Klein explained that a reduction of interest by 3 percent on a
30-year home loan for a medium priced house could bring a
