As of January St. 1956, 1,024,919 loans for homes, farms, and busi natses totaling more than $5.1 bil licft had been repaid in full or near ly one out of every four G1 loans or insured by VA. $n the 11 years of the program, VA baa underwritten 4,599,685 GI loons totaling $34.4 billion. Most of*the loans, or 4,306,515 were for hoinef. Os the remainder, 68.956 vMre loans and 224,214 were business loans. pf the 1,024,919 GI loans repaid in I full, 809,511 were home loans tejaling $4.6 billion; 42,277 were fgfm loans totaling $132 million, and|lT3,l3l were business loans to taling $420 million. In addition to the $6.1 billion re ' paid in full, VA estimates another $3.5 billion has been, paid off in installments by veterans whose loans are still outstanding. VA has paid claims to lenders on only 40,035 loans for homes, farms and businesses. These loans had an original principal amount of ap proximately S2OO million. The net loss to VA has been only sl9 million, or a slightly more than 50 cents for every thousand dol lars borrowed.

LAUNDERING 1 BLANKETS By SYEVIA-C. MATTHEWS Virginia Electric A Power Co. Heme Economist Many homemakers, have asked, ‘•Can I wash wool blankets in an automatic washer and dry them in a dryer?” As a result of these question, the Home Economics Department of the Ohio Experiment Station has investigated and found that wool blankets can be washed in au tomatic spinner or wringer makes of washers by the following meth od: The “Soak” Washing Method J. Inspect blanket. Brush heavi ly soiled spots or streaked bind ings with vegetable brush and warm detergent water. 2. Fill washer with water cotn fortably warm to the hand (about 120° F.). Add mild or all-purpose synthetic detergent (amount used for white clothes) and operate ma chine until it dissolves. 3. Stop the washer action, im merse the blanket and let it soak lS to 20 minutes. Turn over 2 or 3 times by hand. Do not allow washer to operate unless the blan ket is part cotton: then for not more than minute. ,4. Turn dial to “spin” and ex tract water or put through wring-1 er if a conventional washer is used. ,5. Give the blanket 2 deep soak ing rinses without operating the washer for 5 minutes each in warm water of about same temperature at wash water. Turn blanket by hand. Spin or wringer using after eich soak-rinse. * I Drying the Blanket ;Dryer: Preheat direr for 5 m!itutes with 5 or 6 large hath ttfwels (use high setting if dryer oners a choice).

THURSDAY, MAY 10, 190*. 60 -SECOND MB SERMONS HH FRED DODGE ■— 111 ■——> —- TEXT: “The greatest slave serves |; himself.” —Eff Thomas . In the days when train robberies | were common, a band of highway-j men boarded a train and searched | ! the pockets of the unlucky passen j gers. One passenger happened to I be a traveling salesman who, when j j his turn come, handed over $21)0, ‘ I but took $4 from the pile and put j it hack in his pocket. “What do you mean by that?”! I the robber demanded, waving his ; revolver at the salesman. “My friend,” the salesman an swered quickly, “surely you ain’t so selfish as to refuse me a 2 r /< discount on a strictly cash deal like this?” ) Selfishness and conceit are play mates. They always are seen to gether, in single file. Selfish am , bition leads with proud conceit fol lowing close behind, and perhaps • pushing a little. , Nothing destroys a man’s useful : ness more surely than blind, sel ; fish ambition. This form of con- I eeit holds men apart and builds ! walls between them. The man who i is selfishly puffed is avoided by : those who can make him truly im- I portant. I The selfish, conceited man takes honors from others. The wise man i humbly prefers to give honors. It is a surprisingly happy way to live. Me Too, Sonny Mummy, you bought sister a pi ano, so buy me a bicycle.” “What for?” “So that I can go riding while she practices.” , JUST “ ... to soothe the savage beast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.” William Congreve wrote those words more than three hun dred years ago. He wouldn’t be surprised to learn that today music has become medicine. It is pre scribed as part of the treatment of i many different illnesses. i Although rarely a cure in itself, 1 music is included in the total treat ment in many mental hospitals. It ] can provide enjoyment, self-expres- 1 sion, an outlet for the emotions, 1 and is especially helpful in treat- 1 ing those with inferiority prob- < lems. 1 Learning to play a musical in- ‘ 'struraent is often proscribed for physically handicapped, to help de velop stricken muscles and redis cover the necessary sense of rhy- 1 thm in their use. Music and the playing of musical instruments have been used effectively with the blind, with those afflicted with ce rebral palßy, polio, heart troubles, speech disorders, and even with the deaf. The sound of music played be fore general aneslßnsia is given, or ‘during local and spinal anesthesia, helps to soothe patients facing op erations. These new developments in the use of music in hospitals have brought into being a new career— that of the music therapist. Al ready one university is offering a degree in this specialty which com bines as interest in music, medicine and teaching. The music therapist is a kind of musical pharmacist. The physicians, psychiatrist, or py chologist prescribes for his patient and the therapist then mixes the “ingredients” of music called for in the specific case. The music therapist must he a Jack or Jill of many trades. In 1 addition to having sound musical * training, he must be able to work ‘ with individual patients, organize ■ music groups, perform for patients s and even repair broken instru ments. Those who have gone into - the work find great satisfaction in • using the charms of music to help - the sick along the road to recov -8 ery.
