Should the VHMCP COM
mittees be unable to provide
regular CT financing for
homes from private lenders,
the veterans then can apply
to VA for a direct govern

Loans secured from private

bearing the same interest
rate as VA direct loans

Recently, VA took another
important step in speeding

BY MRS. FLORENCE FLEETWOOD

Hello: I hope you missed
me, but whether you have or
not, I've missed you. Well,
I've been sorter busy these
last two weeks and so had to
forego the pleasure of chat
ting with you.
For the last week I, with
quite a few other Roanoke
women, have been lending our
assistance at Booker r. Wash
ington Memorial Post Office.
AS you perhaps are aware,
our u. S. Government issued
a Scent stamp, honoring Mr..
Washington, and the First

you have never seen inside
of a Post Office, or worked
in one, it can be most reveal
ing. (You know, the more 1
learn, the more convinced l
am of how very little 1 know.

Well, back to the subject.
AS l before stated, the work
there is most revealing. We
were engaged to handle the
First Day Issue Stamp. Let
me tell you about it:
When we went there, we
found tables stacked high
with mail. My job, along with

requesting Cancelled cachets
of the First Day of Issue from
the Post Office. We assorted
the incoming mail and pack

1t would have been nice to
see them. Some of them
(cachets) were beautiful.
