Veterans Can Pay Extra Sums
On CT Home Mortgages

Veterans holding CT mortgages
can make extra payments to their
lenders at any time or they car
pay off the entire loan without
penalty charge, VA reminded
holders of loans.
The minimum extra payment
a veteran may make is at least
the amount of one months pay
ment or a flat 500, whichever is
the less. VA said.
VA added that should the vet
eran later become hard-pressed
for money, the extra principal
already paid may be re-applied
to regular payments if the lend
er agrees, in order to prevent the
loan from going into default.
Nationally, nearly 100000 CT
home loans, or almost one of
every five guaranteed by VA have
been repaid in full, VA said. The
original principal amount of these
loans was $4.5 billion.
VA also reminded veterans of
World War II that they have un-
TIL July rs, 1857, TO take advan-
tage OF the low = interest insured
loan provisions of the CT Bill.
Veterans with service in the
Korean Conflict period have until
1865 to exercise the right to CT
loans.

Farms In Major Cotton States
Show Greatest Increases In Size

Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee,
which grow some cotton along with
tobacco and other crops, showed
only slight increases in the aver
age size of their farms.
For the nation as a whole, the
average size of it's 4,782,393 farms
is larger than it has been in more
than 100 years. Arizona has the
largest sized farms, 4,479 acres;
North Carolina, the smallest, 68
acres.
The U. S. average is 242 acres,
compared with 215 in 1850, and
2O3 in 1850. Following the Civil
War, the number of farms increas-
ed by 100000, and the average de-
creased to 1853 acres. By 1880, the
number of farms totaled more than
four million, or double the figure
of 1860. However, the size of
farms had declined to their lowest
level, 1874 acres. The average size
of farms operated by Negroes has
ranged from 61 to 121 acres for
owners; ana 38 to AZ acres for ten
ants and sharecroppers.

Says Race Policy
Defeats S. African
Enterprise

CAPETOWN, South Africa, Feb.
20-Opposition to the Nationalist
Party government contended in
parliament last week that the coun-
try's racial segregation policies
have discouraged foreign indus
trialists from investing in South
Africa.
The opposition, led by the United
Party, agreed that industrial, agri-
cultural and commercial circles
were beginning to feel strain and
had growing feeling of insecurity
and doubt about the future.
But the Nationalist Party, con-
tending that there is no cause for
alarm, replied that one of the big
gest attractions for investors was
the government policy of keeping
South Africa a white country.
AS evidence of "a deteriorating
financial position" opponents of
the government cited the growing
tendency of private investment
capital to leave the country, the
continued strain on exchange re-
serves, the decline in foreign in
vestment capital and rises in living
and production costs.
In replying to the criticism, the
the general tightness of money and
the fact that in the wholesale and
ertail trades there was steady
increased demand for an extension
of credit.

The Negro And Political Propaganda

With the presidential election coming this year the
by both parties to gain the Negro vote and
for that Negroes already being subjected to
a lot of political propaganda.
To the worst type of political propaganda de-
signed the Negro voter is that being used by
writer's and Spokesman for the Republican Party who
are telling Negroes that under President Eisenhower
the Republican party has done in the matter of
civil rights for Negroes in three years than had been
done under the Democrat Party during the previous
20 years.
We cannot think of single facet of the civil
rights program inherited by the Republicans that
started under the Democrat party administration,
and that well the road to completion before the
election of President Eisenhower and the coming of the
Republican Party to power after being out for 20 years
And in all the years of it's history of power before
the advent of the sustained Democrat Party under
President Roosevelt and President Truman history
shows not single Republican accomplishment behalf
of Negroes in the field of Civil Rights
Moreover before the Roosevelt Truman Era the
Republican Party only appointed Negro to the relative
ly insignificant office of Recorder of Deeds and to
minor Treasury post DR. Ralph Bunche Governor Will
liam H HASTE, of the Virgin Islands, Judge of
United tSaes Appellate Court and other Negro Federal
Judges Herman Moore and Irving Moison both natives
of Mississippi, along with many other all firsts
in such office, and appointed by the Democrat Adj
mnistration
ANY Negro who will allow himself to believe this
Republican Party line in the face of such recent
history is really to bad for to talk about.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 20 -
Greatest increases in the average
size of farms in the South since
1850 have taken place in the ma
jor cotton growing state of the
region, according to Bureau of
the Census report.
The expansion in the size of
farms in the South and through
out the nation is said to be as
ISOLATED with the decline in the
number of small farms and the
rapid increase in agricultural me-
chanization.
In the major cotton growing
states of the South where Negro
farmers make up a sizeable pro-
portion of the operators, the aver
age size of farms increased sharp
ly, compared with the rise which
took place in other states of the

"A man thinks, a mule do not"
When old age rolls around
1t is a life worthwhile
Do not look for a wife
You are once a man, and twice a
child.
Just look for good Nurse
To handle you with care
You will live longer in peace
And have no woman fear.
A wife means no work
How many homes are like this in
town?
God can get glory out of right
kind of home;
In return he will give you a crown.
A home like Jesus is calling,
Is it there?
They are farther and farther apart
You must be born of the spirit of
God
And your heart created in the
Church.
| study Gods word day and night,
Like | study building plan
If you have never been born of
the spirit of God,
Where do you expect to land?
Jesus gives me a chance to go
preach
And his father, l shall glorify
No one should live hypocrite here
And expect a home on high.
The way you live is the way you
get paid
Stop and see if you are living right
Are you doing good to those
Despiteful hate you?
Are you raising hell and want to
fight?
God created both Heaven and
earth,
Made man out Of the dust of the
earth, we are told
Then he blew breath into his nos
trils,
And man became to be a living
soul.
The world is going too fast today
To realize the danger we are in
Man can't stop this bloody war
This world is too full of sin.
Stop preaching we have bad
neighbors
The Bible doesn't tell US this way
A neighbor will stick closer than
a brother
Now what have my brother got to
say?
