ment Go per cent or less) that
this program has provided to
millions of veterans in the post
war period.
Without this program, like
wise. many hundreds of thou
sands of potential buyers have
been squeezed out of the mar
ket, because the keys to mass
buying are low down-payments
and low monthly payments.
The CT program kept MONTH
ly payments and down-pay-
ments low, and, therefore, with
in reach of uncounted families
who would find it impossible to
scrape up the money needed on
a conventional mortgage.
An illustration will make this
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-02

clear:
A $4,000 house bought un-
der the CT program might re-
quire a 5 per cent down-pay-
ment ($750) and a 30-year
mortgage loan of $14.250 at
Az per cent. To carry such a
mortgage. a family would have
to pay about $72 on principal
and interest every month.
The same house under con-
ventional financing might re-
quire a third down ($5.000)
with $4,000 left to pay at 51a
percent for a period of IS years.
The monthly principal and
interest payment, in these cir
cumstances. would amount to
about $73 (around the same
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-02

as on the CT loan for $14,-
250), but unless the family had
saved $1,000 as a down pay
ment, it could not buy the
house.
Under CT terms, a $4,000
mortgage for 80 years at Az
per cent interest would require
a monthly payment of around
$51 for principal and interest.
AS a practical matter. of
course, homes offered at CT
terms carry the advantages
cited above: Lower interest pay
ments, possibility of a longer
mortgage term, and possibility
of a smaller down payment.
There aren't too many left
and. for the present. at least.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-02

there doesn't appear to be any
chance that money will loosen
up to the point of renewing the
supply.
Thus, it would appear that a
house still offered today on CT
terms is a relatively rare market
item that can be bought adj
vantageously. if it has a COM
petitive price, by many veteran
families who could not other
wise make a purchase in to-
days market.
It would also appear that the
existing small supply Of homes
with such financing will not
last very much longer, in view
of the Discrimination of lenders
to continue making such loans.

IZMIR. Turkey. Feb. 4 (P.-
Quick rescue work saved nearly
$50 passengers from the Turkish

GRAIN ELEVATOR
NEARING CAPACITY

Combined grains being brought
into the Co-Op's new grain ele-
rator are nearing the working
capacity of the elevator, it was
announced this week. To date
over $4,000 bushels of grain
have been brought in for drying.
Although the $4,000 elevator has
a capacity of 10000 bushels, its
working capacity has been set at
about $4,000 bushels to allow
for shifting of grains from one
bin to another as needed. It is
expected that the $4,000 bushels
will have been received by the
end of this fall season.
The dryer is capable of process
sing $50 bushels of grain per
hour, removing from five to six
percent of the moisture each
time. Some grains must be run
through the dryer a number Of
times to lower the moisture con-
tent to the desired 16 per cent.
Quality of the grain is very
good, said Lew Hanks, district
agent with the Extension Service
He pointed out that the new dry
er and elevator are the basic I'M
IT for a good feed mill establish
ment. According to Virgil Eckert
OF the Coop Building and Farm
Supply (under whose department
the grain elevator is being hand
led additional rolling and mixing
mahcinery is enroute to Alaska
to supplement equipment now on
hand.
Most of the grain will be pre-
pared in a standard mix; suppl
mented as needed to. bring the
grain up to or to surpass grains
now being shipped in from the
States. Special mixes will be
made as desired.

grain produced in the Valley this
year proves the feasibility d

Hospital Collections
Still Tagging,
Latest Report Shows

The third quarterly report Of
the Valley Hospital Association
shows that cash collections at the
valley hospital are still slow
coming in even though the en-
ployment situation in the area
has improved the past few weeks.
The hospital has been able to
make the payroll each period,
but is experiencing difficulty
keeping other accounts on cur
rent basis.
1t was announced in the report
that another Palmer firm has
notified the hospital that they
would no longer extend credit,
thus joining other local firms
who have adopted this policy.
When the Coop wrote off the
hospitals $4,000 indebtedness to
them and when the Matanuska
Electric Association granted a
special low electrical rate, both
included as part of the agree
ment that the hospital meet cur
rent monthly obligations to them.
Unless money comes in il IS inn
possible to pay the bills, the re-
port reminded.
AS friends and neighbors, the
employees and board members
of the hospital realize that in
many cases illness and hospital
ization can be financially disas-
trous to a family. Because of
this, we cannot urge too strong
" that each person In the COM
munity seriously consider the
purchase of some sort Of prepaid
disqualification plan," the report
urged.
It was pointed out that Blue
Cross, the non-profit organiza-
ton set up by hospitals to pro-
vide low-cost prepayment, is
available at the Valley Presby-
terrain Hospital. Although the hos
pital receives nothing for writ
ing the policy, they are happy to
provide this service both for the
patients and the hospitals bene-
fit, it was stated. Advantages

Civ Plans Action
On Gas Pump Problem

Mayor Kenneth Lynn Tuesday
night named Councillors William
Zahradnicek and Bertram Duff
to work with him a. a commit
Tee. to determine what action is
to be- taken by the City OF Pal
mer regarding the removal OF gas
pumps from street right-away ait
the. Palmer Automotive. City At
torney John Shaw was requested
to sit In on the meeting to con-
fer with the committee. III was
pointed out that the purpose OF
the committee Is to find a solu-
ton using court action as last
resort.
The problem has been facing
the City and AT King property
owner, for several weeks and no
workable solutions have been
found to date. At the October g.
meeting Of the City Council King
made three offers to the City:
Purchase Of his property by the
City for 100000; compensation
for the removal Of his gas pumps
$4,000; or the City pay the cost
ESTIMATED at $4,000 for the re-
moval of 20 feet from the front
of the garage to- the rear. Mem
bers Of the budget and finance
committee stated the City is in
no position to pay any Of the pro-
posed amounts
City Attorney John Shaw
pointed out that .condemnatory
action would mean the City
would have to pay King for his
property but that the Court
would determine the amount, af-
fixing fair price. He pointed
out that even though he and
everyone concerned feels very
badly about the situation, that
King is in a rather bad situation
because Of a clause lii his deed
which states that space be allow
ed for a Six-foot sidewalk and
this part of the deed was not
complied with at the time of con
struction several years ago.
The problem was first present
ed to the City several weeks ago
when the Bureau OF Public Roads
notified the City that no gasoline
could BE- dispensed On the paved
highway which is to run from
the Glenn highway to the Wasil-
la highway. Because Palmer
Automotive gas pumps are 80
situated it would not be possible
for King to dispense gas without
the vehicle being on the highway.
1t was pointed out at the Octo-
Der meeting that unless the City
complies with BPR demands, the
paving will not 60 through. I'VE
must determine which Is the les
ser Of the two evils, said Coun-
Gilman Jan Koslosky. There i

involved here the BPR paving

and 100000. Can we ask the tax

by large rock which apparent
" had been deliberately thrown

gals pointed out that operating
on such a limited budget does
not allow insurance to cover such
damage.

asked public assistance in report
ing such incidents and joined

al public to help keep an eye on

ings in the city which by neces-
sity must be left unattended after

CAP Personnel Here
For Public Meefinq

All adults interested in avia-
ton are invited to attend the
public meeting being held tonight
in the Coop club room at 8
pm. at which time Major Petee
Silver and other Civil Air Patrol
personnel will be in attendance.
Discussions will include the
formation Of an adult CAP unit
in this area. All interested per-
sons 81 years of age or older, are
invited to attend. It is hoped
that it will be possible to deter
mine the extent of active inter
est in an adult group in this area.
Persons interested in learning
more about the adult and cadet
CAP groups are cordially invited
to attend without feeling commit
ted to participate in either pro-
gram.
Because of new Air Force
regulation it was not possible for
the CAP group to fly teachers
this past Sunday, however, it is
hoDed that all teachers who had
signed up for the flight will be
given another opportunity later
this fall, weather permitting. The
new regulation stipulates that
civilians flying in military air
craft must be cleared at Airforce
Headquarters 20 days in advance
of the flight.
