No let-up~ in the flood Of
CT appraisal and loan guar
anty requests to the Veter-
ans Administration is fore
seen in the near future by
the director of the VA loan
guaranty program.
In a talk before the Ma
tional Savings and Loan Lea
que meeting in White Sui
phur Springs, w. Va, this
forecast was made by T. B.
King, Veterans Administra-
ton assistant deputy adj
ministrator for loan guaran-

ment by predicting there
may be some customary sea-

mates.
The increased supply of
mortgage money available
for CT loans this year has
kept most VA offices flood
ed with work, King said. He
added that the agency has
not been able to employ
enough qualified technicians
to relieve the press
caused by new loan BUSINESS,
with the result that back
logs of work have persisted
in a number of VA offices.
Many lenders who could
process CT loans on an au-
tomato basis still prefer to
have VA give prior approx
al to loans, he pointed out.
For the most part, Mr..
King said, the Housing Act
of 1864 required VA to make
few changes in it's pro-
cedures. However, it has
eliminated the controls for
merly exercised over fees
and charges made by lend
ers, and limits only those
charges which are allowed
to be paid by a veteran in
connection with the closing
of a CT loan. -
He pointed out that the
new law also made the
| $500 guaranty entitlement
available to all eligible vet
Grams for home loan pur-
poses and permits the use
of any entitlement remain
ing for alterations and re-
pair financed with supple
mental loans.
Mr.. King also said that
VA now requires builders to
furnish a warranty to veter-
ans to the effect that new
homes have been built sub
stantially in conformance
with the plans and specifi-
cations on which VA based
its appraisal.

Desegregratiion And False
Prophets OF Disaster

Nothing not even the false prophets of disaster can
prevent ultimate desegregaton in the public schools

in general
Indignation in public schools is already working in
communities IN Arkansas, Arizona, Delaware, Maryland
West Virginia and the District Coumbia-o name only
few-and in many others, plans are being formulated
to make it reality.
What is needed to make desegregaton work smoothly,
as it should is ambassadors of good will and less
false prophets of disaster The Supreme Court of our
country has spoken and like Caesar what is written is
written The die is cast and sooner or later our public
officials who are to uphold enforce the Law
Will be made to live to their obligation suffer the
consequence for neglect.
Law enforcement officers, including the august
gentlemen of State, who defy the ruling of the
Supreme Court and openly make known their intent to
seek some to circumven it's ruling show only signs of
weakness and tendency to be identified with the rabbe
rousers at time when courageous leadership is so badly
needed
we are confronted with crisis-a great crisis De-
segregation poses of the internal problems

Editorials
JaYcees Initiate Another Worthy Project

A recent move by the Jaycees to have
the Post Office authorities investigate the
possibilities of either city or village deliv-
cry service for our community is highly
commendable.
We feel that Tabor City is large
enough and progressive enough to war
rant some kind of delivery service. Actual
ly, it makes little difference which service
is approved-with the exception of deliv-
ering bulky packages, the two services are
the same.
If there are doubters in our midst who
feel that the town isn't large enough, we
recommend they take moment to check
the postal receipts at the local post office.
For the preceding fiscal year, the post
office showed $23, 900 in postal receipts.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-08-11

perhaps no other town anywhere is harder
to hear over the present lines. You have to
strain every ear muscle to make out what
is being said.
Now we have never been inclined to
prod public utilities or any other enterprise
into action that is economically unsound,
but we do believe that the people of Tabor
City and Loris are entitled to little con-
slderation. There is no doubt that tele-
phone revenue in Tabor City has made a
huge Jump in the past ten years. Without
having acres to any CT&T books, we
would venture a guess that the revenue is
at least twice what it was in 1914.
There's every reason to expect its
continued rise. With this progress evident,
Carolina Telephone should give us some
benefit of service that we are now totally
lacklgn in so far as our neighboring town
of Loris is concerned.
1t seems to us that the new Horny
Coop bent over backwards to cooperate
when they offered to run the line six
seventies of the distance if our North Caro-
lima company would do its little bit. And
1t seems to us that the people are being
unfairly shackled when Carolina Telephone
and Telegraph refuses to cooperate.
We would like to see Carolina Tele-
phone of its own motion remedy this stu
alton. If such action is not taken, we feel
that the citizenry should then use all the
means at its disposal to force the issue.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-08-11
Why Not. Carolina Telephone?

We understand that the new tele-
phone system going into operation before
too long in Horny County has volunteered
to run and maintain line from Loris to the
North Carolina line on Highway 701, Just
mile from the heart of Tabor City. This
agreement made provided that Carolina
Telephone and Telegraph Company, who
serves us here, would run the line the one
mile to the South Carolina border
And we understand that the Carolina
Telephone and Telegraph Company has
Ilatly refused to cooperate. Why, oh WHY.
is our questian to the CT&T Company!
We have often expressed our gratitude
20 Carolina Telephone for the modern sys-
temthat we have and of which we are
Justly proud. But we have the poorest ar
rangement in the world when it comes to
'laclng call to Loris, just seven miles
away. You actually have to go through
Whiteville, Marion and Conway to call
Loris, and we understand that when the
lew system is in operation, that the calls
will then have to go to Florence.
Today it is more difficult to place
call to Loris than it is to New York and it
usually takes longer. There have been
many times when our futile attempts to
reach Loris ended with a cancellation Of
the call and drive down there. It is many
times quicker. AS a matter of fact, pony
express would be quicker on occasions.
Not only is the time element important, but
