 Of all these proeessed loans. only 62l have gone bad. Only 62l vet erans have decided, for one reason or another, that they couldn't meet the terms of the loan. When this happens, the property is put on the auctioneers block and sold to the highest bidder, or the mort gage is taken ever by another home buyer.
 That's good success average But there may be danger ahead

vETERANS' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL


 Can you get loan under the CT Bill to buy yourself a home providing, of course, there is a home available for you to buy?
 Maybe yes, maybe no.
 Judging from the flock of let tens to he Guide, many people think that every veteran has Tight to borrow $4,O00 from the government to finance the purchase of a home.
 No veteran has that right, or if he does it's a right which doesn't derive from the CT Bill.
 Other people think that every veteran who wants to buy home can go to any lending agency and automatically come out with a check for S4,00O given him as a loan under the CT Bill
 These people are slightly con- fused. Here's how it works and the reasons why 1t works the way it does:
 Congress knew that after the war thousands or millions of ser vicemen would be coming home to get married-and to raise famil- ies. Congress knew these ex- servicers would have to have some place to live
 But Congress felt that. since many of them would have spent two to five years in the service, few would have been able to save enough dough to make down payment on the loans they'd need to buy their homes.
 Without a down payment it's almost impossible to get home loan.
 That's where the CT Bill pro- visions step up and fill a gap. Congress felt that If lenders banks, building and loan com panies, etc) knew that a certain amount of each loan they make to a veteran was guaranteed by the government then they'd be more likely to make a loan with out demanding a down payment
 The guarantee, in effect, is a de- layea oown payment. It means that il the veteran cannot, keep up the payments on his loan, and the lender has to foreclose the mortgage, the lender will have a guarantee of getting back a good part of the money he had loaned. The future resale of the house should bring in the balance.
 Congress decided that the guar antee should equal 30 percent of the total loan, but ill no case should exceed $4,000
 The guarantee on a $6,0O0 home IS $3,00o. On an $8,o00 home. $4,00o. Or $12,o0o or S15,0o0 home, it is still $400o, the maxi mum.
 But there never was any inten- ten of having the government make the loan. Loans were to be made by the concerns which have always made loans--banks and trust companies, building and loan com- panies, insurance companies.
 The guarantee would be all the secuiity they'd need, and down payment wouldn't be necessary. That's the way it's worked out in many cases.
 Why, then, can't some veterans get GI Bill home loan today without making a down payment? Why are they always met with the same question, How much can you put down?'
 There are several reasons, but before giving them, here's little history to show how the home lean provisions have worked out.
 The VA has approved 1,l56,00o home loans, of which 996,510 have been processed. Applications are HE zx7zz2

The mass X-raying of Sitkans was started Monday morning, continued throughout the week, mornings, af- ternoons and evenings, and will be continued next week until complet- co. Sitka has established an admir- able record in percentage of popula- ton turning out; in number of peo- pie X-rayed daily and in organiza- tion.
 This fine record is due almost en- tirely to the wonderful work done by members of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority in canvassing the town, making ap- pointments and in indeXing cards. Everywhere one hears the highest praise and appreciation for the girls handling of difficult task
 Other local organizations assisted during the x-raying, working eight members per shift By Thursday afternoon about 1,500 people had gone through headquarters and more registering daily.
