best judgment in obtaining a G.
I. Loan so that it will be helpful
rather than a hindrance in fu
ture years.
Calling attention to Inflated
real estate market values, the
North Wilkesboro VA Contact
Office warned that this condi
tion, together with housing
shortages, may cause veterans to
become Involved In real estate
transactions which will be a bur
den rather than a benefit. The
VA office emphasized that veter
ans have until ten years after the
official end of the war in which
te use the loan guarantee pro
visions of the G. 1. Bill.
Ex - servicemen and women
compelled to purchase real es
tate at this time were advised to
consider carefully the following
factors In their Investment:
Do not permit yourself to be
oome obligated beyond your
means, and keep the security and
protection of your family fore
most in your mind at all times.
Do not sign any papers or
forms thatv have not been com
pletely filled out and make sure
that you understand clearly the
details presented.
Do business through well-es
tablished real estate firms in the
locality in which the property is
situated.
If your purchase involves new
construction, check carefully on
the integrity and ability of the
contractor.
When you consult a lending in
stitution relative to borrowing
the funds necessary to complete
your purchase, seek their advice
also as to the advisability of
your plans.
When an appraisal of Jthe prop
erty is made, insist upon seeing
a copy of the appraisal report
and digest its contents carefully.
When you use your loan guar
antee benefit, remember that the
government is only lending you
its credit and that, at a future
date, if trou/ble ensues and claims
are paid under terms of the
guaranty, you are still liable' to
the government for whatever
loss is sustained.

LIGHT
THAT IS ON SEA AND LAND
Light always has been the symbol of protection.
When man began to live in groups, he found that Hghted wayfares
protected him from theft and blows.
When he began to risk voyages on sea or ocean, lights ashore guided
him into harbor.
Today . . . our civic authorities know that delinquency and crime
decrease as public lighting improves.
To householders, a bulb burning noiselessly is a guard at their door.
\
Farmers depend on outside lighting to keep away prowlers. They find
that light lessens accidents during chores that must be done before
day or after dark.
Within the Duke Power Company a staff of light experts work steadily
testing and proving new ways for Light to increase prosperity, safety
and health .. . and to make these new services available ... in every
Piedmonf home, office, store, or factory.
