Has Paid GI Lgan
•
h 11 Years VA Has
Underwritten Loans
Totaling 4,599,«85
The' millionth veteran has repaid i
hia s3l loan in full, Veterans Ad-1
mjpistration has announced.
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. VA said the net
less is subject to further recovery,
either from the veteran or from the
liquidation of tangible security.
Os the 40,035 loans on which
claims have been paid, 24,558 or
slightly more than one-half of one
per cent of the total number guar
anteed, were home loans. Allowing
for repaid-in-fufl loans, amortiza
tion payments and claims paid, VA
estimates that $24.5 billion of the
oroginal $34.4 billion borrowed by
World War TT and Korean conflict
period veterans still is outstand
ing.
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).
Jphen mix hot towels into blan

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.

ano, so buy me a bicycle.”
“What for?”
“So that I can go riding while
she practices.”

“ ... 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

The National Association of

Dr. Robert C. Turner, professor of
business administration, Indiana

of the College of Business Admini

concerning these expected changes.
Dr. Turner said, in part:
"... (4) Household Appliances.
