H Applications For
Home Loans Jump
Increase of 5,800 Loans
In August Over Pre
vious Month
GI home loan applications received
by the Veterans Administration dur
ing the month ending August 25,
1953, topped the 31,000 mark, an in
crease of 5,800 over the previous
month, VA announced. Under the GI
loan program, a lending institution
agrees to make the loan before it sub
mits a loan application on behalf of
a veteran to VA for guaranty or in
surance.
T. B. King, Acting Assistant Depu
ty Administrator for Loan Guaranty,
said: “The August rise indicates that
veterans, may be Ending it somewhat
easier to obtain GI financing, al
though we cannot be certain on the
basis of one month’s experience. Also,
it is still harder for veterans to get
GI loans in some areas than in oth
ers.” Mr. King emphasized that some
of the August increase may be at
,v tributed to the rush of lenders to get
’ loan applications approved by VA be
fore the 4 per cent gratuity was sus
pended after August 31, 1953.
Mr. King expressed hope that the
pick-up in GI loan volume during Au
gust may reflect a gradually improv
ing trend in the GI supply. “We have
been looking for a gradual improve
ment as a result of the increase in GI
interest rates -effective last May and
the liberalized discounts authorized in
July. The Federal National Mortgage
Association ‘one-for-one’ plan also
should help the ability of builders to
get GI financing for their projects.”

He said VA would be better able i
to interpret the significance of the

New Beef Cattle Booklet
Is Available To Farmers
Conditions in general make North
Carolina an ideal state for raising
beef cattle, say the authors of a new
booklet now available to farmers. The
mild climate and heavy rainfall afford
good grazing and economical feed
production.
“Raising Beef Cattle," prepared by
A. V. Allen and J. S. Buchanan, live
stock specialists for the N. C. State
College Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, and C. D. Grinnells, professor of
veterinary scienoe at State College, is
a revision of an earlier manual on
beef production. It contains the lat
est information on dozens of topics,
all of which are important to the
farmer who hopes to make a profit of
his beef enterprise.
The authors explain that North
I Carolina’s Coastal Plain, once a thriv
i ing cattle area, is again becoming an
important cattle region. “In the past
: few years ...” say the authors, “thq
i cattle business in this section has been
. coming back on a much sounder basis
. than originally, and many farmers are
finding it to their advantage to carry
' a breeding herd or to fatten some cat
. tie as an enterprise supplementary to
, cotton, obacco, peanuts, and other
cash crops.”
The authors point out, however,
■ that “the best natural grazing is lo
cated in the mountain areas . . ”
' Free copies of “Raising Beef Cat
tle” are available upon request to:

' tion, N. C. State College, Raleigh.

' Accidents Cause Loss
- 250 Million Man-Days
i A million workers would have to
- toil more than a year to make up for
f the time lost in 1952 due to occupa
s tional accidents, according to the Nat
i ional Safety Council.
“Accident Facts”, the Council’s sta
, tistical yearbook just off the press,
; shows that time lost last year as a
f result of work injuries amounted to
250,000,000 man-days. This includes
hnot only time lost by the employees

who were injured, but also that lost
by those who stopped work to help
the injured or out of curiosity.
Fifteen thousand workers were kill
ed and 2,000,000 injured in 1952, ac
cording to the Council, but last year
still was one of the safest years in
history for the nation’s industries.
The Right Doctor
He was dug out of the wreck of his
automobile and carried to the nearest
doctor’s office.
“I can’t do anything for this man,”
said the doctor. “I’m a veterinary
surgeon.”
“You’re the right man, doc,” said
the amateur motorist. “I was a
jackass to think I could run that ma
chine.”
