Long-time FHA employee retires

Mrs. Ruby Rinehart, long-time clerical employee of the Farmer Home Administration Office will retire effective Friday 
after 30 years of service in the FHA.

Mrs. Rinehart said she began work in the local FHA office in 1942 when it was called the Farmers Security Administration 
and was located in the West Carroll National Bank Building.  In 1953 - 54 she worked in the Tensas FHA office  and in the 
East Carroll office in 1955. She moved back to Oak Grove in 1956.

In looking back over the changes in the type FHA loans during the years Mrs. Rinehart said she has seen it move from a mule 
operation in one of complete mechanization in farming. She said the average farm loan when she began to work with the agency 
was $500 and that now it goes into the thousands. She pointed out that when she first started, only operating loans were available 
and now said there are 26 different types.

Fellow workers and their family and those who had worked with her previously honored Mrs. Rinehart with a retirement supper 
at White’s Fish House Tuesday night. The group gave Mrs. Rinehart two pieces of luggage as a retirement present.
