Watch For the Flu Bug

|CuRGEON-General Leroy E. Burney said
recently that there is good probability
that the country will have a large outbreak
of Asian influenza this fall or winter. The
Surgeon-General believes this is likely even
though new vaccine which is designed to
combat this disease will be on the market
in September.
Burney's estimate is based on the fact
that eleven thousand cases of Asian inful-
enza have occurred in this country already
and. as a result, general spreading of the
virus throughout the country has taken
place
Influenza epidemics have dotted our his

A. Yes, but you may not be
able to claim more than $1,000

will be deductible in 1857. The
reason is that a loss of this kind
from a nonbusiness debt is
viewed as short-term capital
loss. This means that the entire
amount can be used to reduce

Along the same line. Mr..

that such help is necessary to
enable the general economy to
maintain its own stride.
Our members report to us
that except for the home build
ers, who naturally would like to
build and sell more houses, there
is no great concern over the
present BODYBUILDING situation. ("

two, boosting the rate on CT

rate now is Az per cent.

Flexible CT Loan Rate
Preferred by Bankers
Mr.. Reilly said the present
rate of Az per cent on VA loans
is not high enough to attract
loans in the highly competitive
credit market.
I'VE believe that a step which
would go long way toward
elimination of mortgage dis
counts would be adoption of a
flexible interest rate for both
VA and FILA loans" he added.
In this connection, if Con-
gress deems a maximum limit
necessary, consideration might
be gwen to a 534 per cent maxi
mum limit. However, within
such a limit the rate should be
