Five points of advice were offer
ed by the Veterans AdminiStra-
ton to veterans who feel the
Spring urge to buy their dream
homes under the CT loan program
as follows.
l. Make sure your home is near
enough to transportation, schools
and shopping to suit the needs of
you and your family,
2. Be sure your income is large
enough to pay all costs of home
ownership, including loan princi-
pal and interest, taxes and inSur-
ance, utilities, and maintenance,
and anything you are buying on
installments.
8. Make certain your interests in
such matters as deposits, purchase
agreements, and sales contracts
are fully protected before you
make a deposit or sign any docu-
ment
4. Be sure you understand the
important legal documents you
have to sign when you make "fin-
al settlement or "close the loan.
5. And remember, a CT loan
must be repaid! GI loans offer
you many advantages, but like any
other debt, they must be paid back
on schedule.
Details on this bit of advice and
many other helpful hints for vet

Now as these young boys and
girls grow up, they attempt to
solve their own problems. The
solution that they arrive at is an
unhealthy solution as far as So
ciety is concerned, but, and this
is very important, it is satisfying
to them. We must learn that our
children today are being reared
in different era than that in
which were were reared and
they are being subjected to
temptations that we as boys and
girls never heard of. The rhythm
of civilization is much faster and
because of this, I believe the
burden on us in handling and
working with our children is
greater than il has ever been in
the history of the world.
Those of us who are ATTEMPT

linquency should never forget
the tremendous complexity OF

never forget that the attitudes

Although the Columbus Coun-

been handled by the department.
Without commenting on the case

The John Della Howe School

VIVA steps could the Welfare
Department have taken TO pre-
vent the existence of such condi-
