Page Two Three Millionth Gl Loan Is Guaranteed Total of 19.6 Billion Dol lars Made In Nine Years Three millionth GI home loan was guaranteed by the Veterans Adminis tration during the month of May. VA reported 3,004,157 home loans totalling $19.6 billion have been made to World War II and post-Korea vet erans during the nine years the GI loan program has operation. Os the $19.6 billion, VA has guar anteed or insured about half that amount. Nearly 13 per cent of the 3,004,157 home loans, or 383,053, have been completely paid back by veteran bor rowers. VA also reported that only 16,218 home loans, or less than sixHenths of one per cent of the total, have resulted in claims paid by the Government, proving that veterans have been out standing credit risks. VA said that the average size of all GI home loans made to date is $7,371. In addition to the more than 3 mil lion home loans closed thus far, VA has guaranteed or insured 64,888 farm loans and 204,287 loans fpr business purposes. Those two types of loans total more than SBOO million. Most World War II veterans have until July 25, 1957 in which to apply for GI loans under the original GI Bill, but veterans with service since June 27, 1950, the beginning of the Korean conflict, have until ten years from the end of the current emergen cy in which to apply.

But perhaps the man who had the best explanation was the one who when asked why he’d lived so long, quipped, i “Dunno ... I guess it must have been - because I didn’t die young.” Corrine Justice Grimsley, State Col , lege Extension specialist in family re , lations, says that doctors are helping ’ us to live longer today. In 1900 the [ average person in the United States lived to celebrate 45 birthdays.- Today the average person lives 22 years lon ! ger. ». 3 ' But even though medical science is prolonging life, many people who don’t die until they reach their 70’s or 80’s actually aren’t living longer. They don’t enjoy being alive, that is. They continually find fault with their families, friends, and relatives. They ' criticize the young and withdraw' from activities. Such an existence really isn’t living, Mrs. Grimsley says. Growing old is a complicated pro cess, says Mrs. Grimsley, and no one ' likes to think that he is getting old. Naturally you will change as the years go by, but there is no one day on which you will suddenly become old. Your body doesn’t begin to age all at once—it’s a single organ or tissue that ; starts. Your eyes actually begin to ; age during your teens, your hearing becomes less acute during your twen ■ ties; your muscular strength decreases in the thirties. And it’s hard to admit it, explains : Mrs. Grimsley, but there comes a ■ time in your forties or fifties when : you can’t do as much W'ork as you ■ once could. Staying young, Mrs. Grimsley concludes, isn’t dependent upon pep pills, but upon keeping your mind alert, and interested in the ac tivities going on around you. 5 !
