days ago when interviewing him for
an imDortant piece of news pertain

LOCAL VETS DID
NOT BUY B-BONDS
Postal Savings Here Decreased
During Three Months
Period
By PAUL MAY
Washington, D. C, August 19
Beaufort veterans were different
from the majority of veterans in the
United States, in at least one re
spect, in handling their bonus pay
ments, it was learned today.
Large numbers of veterans thru-
out the country deposited part of
their bonus in Dostal savings ac
counts, so that most of the country'?
postofrlces showed postal savings in
creases for the three months' per
iod between March 31 and June 30,
postoffice department records show.
But in Beaufort, postal savings de
creased during this period.
The drop amounted to $1,366,
from $102,133 on March 31 to $100
767 on June 30. The June 30 fig
ure, officials pointed out, has not yet
been audited, and must therefore be
regarded as "an estimate," though
it represents the total reported to
the department by the local post
master. However, any subsequent
adjustment of this figure will be very
slight, it was admitted.
With the "lift" given postal sav
ings by bonus deposits, the total of
postal savings throughout the coun
try, the total of postal savings ac
count as a whole reached a new
high with the end of the 1936 fiscal
year on June 30. The increase dur
ing the fiscal year was more than 27
million dollars, it is reported.
India now ranks as one of the
eight chief industrial nations in the
world. i : . :j .

EIGHT PER CENT OF
HOMES MORTGAG'D

HOLC Stopped Lending
Money In 1936
By Paul May
Washington, D. C, August 19
More than eight per cent of the non
farm homes listed for Carteret Coun
ty by the 1930 census, had been
covered by mortgages to the Home
Owners Loan Corporation by the
end of the fiscal year 1936, when the
HOLC stopped lending money and
settled back to its long job of col
lecting, according to figures releas
ed by the corporation today.
The exact number of individuals
loans in the county was given as
204 out of 2,695 homes enumerated
in the last census. The value of
the loans maie in the county was
$283,477, the report shows.
For all North Carolina, ths total
number of HOLC loans granted was
12,331, and the total amount of such
loans was $31,394,471.
The figures were piepared by the
corporation for use by the National
Emergency Council as election pro
paganda, and were released for
publication with considerable reluc
tance. Officials refused to make pub
lic figures on mjrtgages, foreclosed,
pointing out such figures arc obtain
