Housing was another serious economic
problem. Chuck took small room in Brad
ford home for SIS week Most of the other
players board out in private homes, too.
Almost all of them asked for $40 or SIS in
advance of their first pay checks.
''None of us talked about it much," Chuck
admits, but we all worked for one thing -
the major leagues. During practice I'd work
trying to shift my feet behind the plate 50 my
body would always be behind the pitch in
stead of off to one side An outfelder would

CHUCK'S catching and hitting were bit
spotty. He'd look good in one game and
mediocre the next. But whenever he was dis
cowaged his dream of the majors kept him
going. Sometimes he had a big moment.
More than thousand fans filed little Brad
ford Park one night for game against the
Wellsville, N Y, Nitros. As Saverine lobbed
the ball back to his pitcher, warming him up,
he looked around his typically young D-league
infield. Pitcher Roy Face and Third Base
man Dick Young were both Fl years old.

Veterans Guide

Or the veteran might ref1nance
the mortgage with a CT loan. In
this way payments could be ex-
tended over longer period. Most
mortgages are for 20 years, but
CT loans may be made with a
maximum 80 years to repay. And
the four per cent CT interest gen.
orally is less than conventional
interest.
Now here's an exception: Ralph
T. shops around for a CT loan, but
no lenders in his town are making
them. He can do two things: (1)
wait for the VA direct loan pro-
visions to go into effect July 10
or CD take a conventional loan.
Ralph gets conventional loan
at five per cent from bank. Then
within so days he puts IN applica-
tions for a FGI loan at several
other lending agencies in town. A
year or so later one of these agen-
cies-a building and loan associa-
tion-notif1es Ralph that it now
makes four per cent CT loans.
The VA will let Ralph's conven-
tional loan be refinanced as a CT
loan by the building and loan as
sociation. Why? Because Ralph
applied there for a CT loan within
go days after getting his conven-
tional loan. This regulation is de-
signed to take care Of vets who
can't get CT financing but want
to go ahead and build without
waiting for the loan market to get
better.
Few conventional loans are re-
financed with a CT guarantee, and
the regulations don't allow any
CT loans to be refinanced. But in
some cases where a veteran be-
comes delinquent on his CT loan,
the VA will avoid foreclosure by
taking over the mortgage and CIV
ing the veteran a direct loan (not
to be confused with the direct loan
of the 1850 Housing Act). The VA
isn't in the home loan business for
profit, so it can afford to be more
lenient with a veteran.
In any case, II you already have
a conventional mortgage, you
can't run to the VA just to get
cheaper CT financing.

A 4O-year-old World War II vet
telephoned the other day.
Major" he said, "I'd like to
send my son to college this fall,
but it doesn't look like I can if ]
have to keep up these heavy pay
ments on my prewar mortgage.
Could have it refinanced with a
CT loan to extend payments over
q longer period and maybe lower
the interest a little?"
VA regulations state no loan to
refinance an Indebtedness will be
guaranteed unless the original
loan becomes delinquent (the bor-
rover falls behind on payments)
Furthermore, the delinquency
must be bona f1de" (in good
faith. You can't be earning
enough to meet payments and stop
making them just to get your
mortgage reflnanced as less ex-
penSive CT loan.
So I had to tell the veteran the
best thing he can do is persuade
his lender to refinance the loan
point out how he wants to pay his
sons college expenses but leave
the VA out of the picture.
Don't fall back in your pay
ments deliberately" I said. THAT
wouldn't be in good faith"
The home loan provisions in the
CT Bill were not designed for vet
erans who already had homes.
They were for vets who wanted to
buy or build after they got out of
service.
But maybe vet making pay
mentS on a conventional (non-GD
mortgage loses his job because of
a layoff or a shutdown. He's go
ing to be tightly squeezed flnan-
cially, and chances are he'll miss
payments for couple Of months.
Probably the last thing his
lender wants to do is foreclose. It's
costly and it's bad public relations.
Nobody likes the man who takes
away q neighbor's house, particu-
larly veterans house.
So the lender will try to find a
cure. Maybe he'll defer payments
until the veteran starts working
again. Maybe the veteran could
borrow some more to meet the
payments.

Dashboard sat back on her lean
launches and said placidly, "Mrs.
McNabb. you can fire me eight
hundred times a year and you
know it. But as long as the doctor
and the children need me III be

Mrs. McNabb swung on her heel
and marched into her bedroom,
slamming the door behind her.
The day had arrived for Bill Nc

hiding behind a stethoscope.
"I'll put it to him squarely," she
thought rebelliously, Either Mar

miles within the Arctic circle was
completely devastated by the retreat
ing German Army which was fleeing
from the Soviet Army.
The Soviet Army came into Nor
way through the thirty mile Nor
weeian-R Russian border which is To-
Gated in the eastern part of Finn
mark. The Russians did not ad-
vance very far into Norway, so that
after a hasty retreat of about go
miles, the Germans settled down to a
systematic destruction of the re-
naming towns in Finnmark.
Norway was occupied by the Ger
mans between 1910 and 1915, and
consequently suffered all of the psy-
Geological shocks which occupation
brings-not to mention great~drain
on the normal economy.
In the postwar period the bulk of
capital has been going into recon
struction of the fleet. AS result
domestic production has suffered and
very little money has gone for the
purchase of foreign foods and other
items which go to make up higher
standard of living.
Without a doubt Norway's econ
omy is much more austere than that
of Great Britain. Rationing is still
very complete in both food and cloth
ing. Only shoes and clothing acces-
sories are ration free. Although
the Norwegians are not too happy
about their situation, they do very
little complaining.
