 Query from L. E. S., Waterloo, Ia: "Is it possible to get a loan under the CT Bill in sufficient quantity to pay off an existing loan and make repairs on house?"
 Yes, provided the existing loan is a delinquent indebtedness" and has teen for at least 50 days. In other words, if you are at least 50 days behind in your payments on the loan you now have, and if you can show the VA that it's financially impos- sible for you to keep up the pay ments, then you can re-negotiate by means of a GI Bill loan. And you could borrow in the same deal enough extra dough to make those repair:.

As the District public high football
race goes into its third week with

. year for power. With only two
weeks Of series competition under
way. only two teams-Central and

two have suffered losses to nom
series elevens.
Graduations struck like hurri-
canes, stripping the two preseason
favorites, Central and Anacostia, to
mere skeletons of power and level
ting the other six teams to practically
no experience. Central and Ana
costa each could field one expert
enced team and last weeks tilt
between the two loomed as the most
important game of the season. The
Indians, however, were no match for
the Vikings and lost by two touch
downs, while the Vikings maintained
their superiority only when fielding
the first eleven.
Central still ranks the favorite,
but the state Of affairs makes 1t i'm
possible to overlook Western, Tech
and AnacoStia. The Vikings will
play host to Coolidge Friday. The
Colts have been beaten by both Ana
costa and Eastern, but they began
practice week after the other teams
and may just be getting into shape.
Also on Friday Western entertains
Eastern. The Raiders own wins
over Wilson and Roosevelt, while
Eastern mas beaten Coolidge and
