Carver Ranches is IL years old.
The 18th anniversary was on Feb
ruary IL, 1853, which was VAL
entine Day. On this particular
day in 1941, a fellow, girl and
a pup decided they were tired of
the hustle and hustle of the city.
So they packed bag and baggage
and came to a small house on
Orlando st. to make their home.
That was the beginning of the
growth of a new city and how it
has grown! The fellow and girl
are still here, but the pup has
gone where all good doggieS 90.
But fine young man has taken
the place of the pup, which makes
them all very happy indeed.
The city of Carver Ranches
might have grown anyway; but
this fellow and girl feel like they
are partly responsible for at least
bit of it.
There has been quite some dis
agreement on the subject. So to
get everyone straight, I decided
to give you this much informa-
zion; and believe me, l should
know, for I know this fellow and
girl better than any one else.

First World War lasted only APP
proximately 10 months while the
present action is now in it's fourth
year.
Battle casualties are not as high
as they were during World War |.
1913 men from Mississippi were
killed and 1880 wounded in World
War |, while in the present action
297 have been killed and 1861
wounded.
This increase in the veteran pop
ulation of the state is matter of
concern to those agencies dealing
with veterans affairs. Present hos
pital facilities of the Veterans Ad-
ministration are inadequate to care
for World War and World War ii
veterans suffering from tubercu-
losls and nervous disorders. The
additional load Of potential bene-
ficiaries who had service since
June 81, 1850 will tax hospital ac-
commodations far beyond their
capacities. No solution to this
problem has been offered by the
present Congress.

Inspection Program Of Officers And
Equipment Started In Highway Patrol

In statement to the Press to-
day, Colonel T. B. Birdsong, out
lined new phase of operations
within the Patrol. The Program is
regular inspection of the men
and their equipment, which includ-
es, wearing and condition of uni
form, firearms, car and all equip
ment in car. A Monthly 1nspec-
ton is made by each District Com
mander and annual showdown In
spections are made by a team of
Staff Officers from Headquarters.
Each Unit is graded as to the con-
dition of all equipment; for ex-
ample, if you were to look into a
Patrol Car, (Which is the Patrol
mems workshop and office), you
would find accident reports, Sum-
mons books and many other re-
ports which he has to make. You
would also find fire extinguishers.
flare, flags and fusees and First
Aid Kits. Also each officers car
has regular work clothes, which
he has to use in case of manhunts,
all types of emergencies, etc.
Just recently a team of Staff
Officers made a statewide Inspec
ton of all men and equipment.
While all men and equipment came
up to standards, two cars were rat
ed SUPERIOR.
Colonel Birdsong says, eve feel
like since this Program was in
augurated, the men are taking bet
ter care of all equipment, and
therefore saving the taxpayers
money, and this Program will be
continued"

All loans closed prior to May 5,
1858 will be continued at the
percent rate under which they were
negotiated.
Kinds explained that even
though the law now permits loans
with no down payment, veterans
seeking loans are apt to find that
many lenders will require down
payments in varying amounts or
percentages.
The amount of down payment
and the length of the repayment
period are matters to be agreed
upon between the veteran and the
lending institution making the
loan.
Prior to the action removing con-
trolls on April %, 1858, veterans
were required to pay at least 5 per-
cent down in most cases and the
maximum loan usually was re-
stricted to 20 or rs years.
Credit controls were first applied
to G.. |. Loans in 1850 shortly af-
ter the beginning of the Korean
conflict as an anti-inflationary
measure.
Kinds said if veterans apply in
advance for certificates of eligi-
giltiy for G. |. loans, it will reduce
delays in processing the loan APP
plications later, when the veteran
is anxiously awaiting completion of
the deal or is pressed for time to
close the loan.
Certificates of eligibility are the
means by which VA certifies as to

Burma Fight

Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1953-08-01

the eligibility of veterans for G. l..
loans.
In the past, veterans generally
have submitted their discharge or
separation papers to the lending
institutions making the loan. They
in turn would submit them to the
VA on behalf of the veteran, often
times with the loan applications.
However, since the passage of
the Gorean G.. |. Bill which extends
the loan guaranty benefits of the
World War ii G.. l. Bill to veterans
with service since June 81, 1850, to
establish the veterans eligibility
VA must have information not pre-
viously needed.
Now, to pass on veterans eli
gibility, VA must know whether
the veteran served in World War III
or since the start of the Korean
conflict, or both; what prior use
ne has made of the loan guaranty
benefits, if any; the status of any
prior c.. |. Loans, and whether the
veteran still owns real property
purchased with any prior loans.
By applying to the Jackson VA
Center in advance, veteran may
provide this information, and thus
save considerable time in the later
processing of the loan applica-
ion by lender
Kinds said most World War III
yeterans have until July %, 1857
n which to apply for G. l. loans
lnder the original G. |. Bill, but
Jeterans with service since June
Z, 1850, the beginning of the Ko-
rean conflict, have until 10 years
from the end of the current en-
Urgency in which to apply.

Direct Loans From Veterans
Administration Again Available

BY recent act of Congress the
direct loan program of the Vet
Grams Administration has been ex-
tended to June 80, 1854. The al
location of funds to the Regional
Office in Jackson for the purpose
Of financing these direct loans for
the months of July, August and
September is approximately $780,
900.
There is backlog of about 900
requests for direct loans running
back as far as January of this
year. These requests are being pro-
cessed by the Veterans Admins
tration according to the date in
which they were received.
We believe that it is wise to
review briefly the requirements
Of the Veterans Administration
which must be met by World
War II or Korean veteran to be-
come eligible for direct loan:
1. (a) Direct loans may be made
only for the purchase or construc-
ton of residence or a non-farm
home, or
(b) The construction, repair or
remodeling of a farm home.
(c) Direct loans for the repair
or remodeling Of non-farm home
will not be made.
2. Direct loans for the construc-
ton, repair or remodeling of a
farm home will be made only if a
loan for such a purpose has been
refused by the Farmers Home Adj
ministration.
3. The veteran must be a good
credit risk.
a. The veteran must live in an
area where guaranteed loans are
not available.
These direct loans, when grant
ed, are at the rate of Az 20 Just
as are guaranteed loans.
AS has been pointed out funds
available for direct loans in Mis-
sissippi are rather limited. Appli-
cations are processed in the or
der in which they are received.
1t is, therefore, suggested that vet
Grams desiring direct loans write
directly to the:
Loan Guaranty Officer

Jackson, Mississippi
These letters will be acknowl
edged and filed in chronological

Have You Checked
Your ). ). Account!

When a deposit is made in your
savings account at the bank, you
always check the bank book to
make sure that you are receiving
proper credit on your account. This
is a good practice to avoid costly
mistakes.
1t is also good practice to
check your social security account
once a year, or at least every three
or four years to make sure that
you are receiving credit for all
your earnings that can be credited
to your social security account.
Your employer may have failed to
report your correct name or social
security number. The Social Sc
curity Administration office in
Jackson has free post cards which
you can use to check on your rec
ord.
If you fail to check on your ac-
count, it may be costly to you or
your family. The payments you
and your family will receive in the
future will be based on the record
Of your covered earnings as they
are reported to your social security
account.
Make sure that the social securi-
ty record of your earnings is cor
rect. Your account with the Fed
eral Government is as important
as your bank account, because it
means dollars and cents to you and
your family in your old age, and to
your family in case of your death
at any age.

Veterans Face New Conditions And
Requirements For G. |. Loans

JACKSON, Miss.-Veterans APP
plying for G. /. loans today are
confronted with different condi-
tions and requirements from those
which prevailed only a few weeks
ago.
In response to many inquiries,
William X. Kinds, Manager of the
Veterans Administration Center,
explained the two main changes
affecting veterans are:
l. The maximum allowable inter
est rate on G.. |. loans guaranteed
by VA has been raised to 4 p per-
cent from 4 percent effective May
5, 1858.
2. Credit restrictions on G.. l..
home loans have been removed
making it permissible for veterans
to obtain such loans with no down
payment and with a repayment
term up to 80 years at the discre-
ton of the lenders.
In addition, Mississippi veterans
who now plan to seek G.. |. loans
from private lenders for homes,
farms or businesses should apply
to the Jackson VA Center, Lind
bergh Drive, in advance for Ger
tificates of eligibility.
Kinds emphasized that the new
AZ percent interest rate will apply
only to loans closed on or after
May 5, 1858. The new ruling does
not affect the rights of any veteran
who has a firm commitments from
a lender to make a loan at a lower
rate
