YOU CAN'T CLIP
A TV PROGRAM!

Dorothy Kilgallen, the colum-
mist and television star, recently
had something pleasant to say
about newspapers as reading
matter.
"You car read on a train cross
ing the desert or on a plane at
1900 feet above the Atlantic
no static, no fading, no blips,"
says Miss Kilgallen. "You can
read in a bathtub or while hang
ing onto a pole in a crowded bus.
You can read as much or as little
as you want, as fast or as slow
ly as you want.
And if you read something
you Like, you can tear it out and
save it to read again some day.
l enjoy radio and television, and
I am gainfully employed by both,
but / must admit they have their
drawbacks. Did you ever try to
clip a television program and
paste in in your scrapbook?"
Here's why the newspaper
holds its dominant place in the
homes and hearts of Americans.
And here is why - to touch on
the world of commerce from
which all of us draw our livings
the newspaper remains an un-
surpassed means of advertising
goods and services.
Gil LOANS REPAID
The Veterans Administration
recently reported that, as of April
25th, full payment had been made
on 853,54I CT home loans. This
represents about twenty per cent
of the CT home loans made since
the program began in 1914.
We think this is an excellent
record, and speaks well for the
CT home loan program. At the
same time, the VA reported that
the percentage of repayment of
farm and business loans is
much higher, because most of
these loans were made on shorter
terms.
More than half of these loans
had been repaid as of April of
year, according to VA fig
ures.
Interesting is the figure re-
leased by the VA showing that
CT home loans were re-
paid in full during the month
Of April, of this year. During the
same month, about $4,000 new
81 home loans were made.
Considering the fact that most
If these CT home loans were for
periods of twenty years, or more,
he fact that twenty percent have
been paid up only IL years after
been made speaks well
or the program. AS a service TO
is veterans, this program seems
o have justified itself, and ex-
ended opportunities to service
nen who otherwise might not
ave been considered good home
ban risks.
