From ]. C. A. of Mt. Olive,
Ala: "For is years I have been
drawing compensation for a dis
ability which occurred to my
right knee during World War I.
On Dec. Z. 1854, I was hit by a
car, cutting my right leg of
five inches above the knee What
effect will this have on my COM
pensation?"
Since your disability is Of
long standing and you've been
getting compensation for 1t. the
Veterans Administration says
you'll continue to receive pay
ment. Similar cases have estab-
lished the precedent.
From A. j. H. of New York
City: will you please explain
to me why some housing projects
require per cent or 10 per
cert down payment with a CT
loan and why some require no
down payment?"
VA regulations themselves do
not require down payments.
However, VA guaranteed loans
are made by private lending in
stitutions. and the lenders may
require them and set the per-
centage.
From Mrs. H. S. o. of East st.
Louis, Ill.,: "My son was drafted
into the Army in August, 1854.
In February he was sent over
seas to Germany. How long will
he have to stay overseas?"
Under normal circumstances
your son will be expected to re-
main overseas until short time
before his "a months has been
served. Then he'll be sent back
In time to be separated. s
From A. D. of Monroe, La: I'm
1914 my husband, who was a
private in the Army, sent me a,
war savings bond by having the
payments deducted from his pay.
