The other coun ties were not made eligible be cause private concerns ’ in these counties are now making 4 per cent loans. Tlje new program, which went lished for the benefit of veterans, who could not get home loans at a 4 per cent interest rate. $150, 000 000 has been alloted for this purpose and from information re ceived, Wrenn said many of the county’s veterans are expected to jair<c advantage of the program. In addition to the location; the; following conditions must be met: 1. The veteran must not pre viously have used any -part of his GI loan guaranty entitlement. 2. The loan may not exceed $10,000. 3. The veteran must be a satis factory credit risk, and the month ly payments of his mortage must bear a proper relationship to his income. ^_4. He must show that he is un able to obtain a four per cent loan from other sources, including loans from the Secretary of Agriculture in tfe case of farm housing. In addition to these original stipulations, recent restrictions put on by the President this week will require a 5 percent down payment on homes built or oc cupied after July 1. This does not apply to homes Oh which construction was started before July 1. . . Veterans who wish to apply for a direct home loan should write to the Loan Guaranty Officer at the Regional Office, stating the location and price of the property and the amount of the loan which will be required td finance the .purchase or construction of the home.

The VA further' cautions each veteran not to invest in land of building material or make any cash deposit on the assumption that he will receive a direct loan.

Chapel Hill Decision Casts Shadow On Building Plans Negro Group Resists School Curtailment Chapel Hill — A bleak outlook for th? l ema.ndei of the eounty . school and courthouse building programs was painted this week by county officials following a meeting hc«» Monday to settle a controversy over construction of the new Negro High School. The concensus was that all pro posed school and courthouse con struction might be held up in definitely as result of war pres sures and rising costs which make planned construction impossible within the limits of available or authorized funds. In solving the Negro School issue, the Board of County Com missioners voted to let contracts for the school immediately to the extent possible within the $235,000 appropriated, eliminating from the immediate plans construction of the- auditorium-gymnasium, . sike improvements, the paved parking area, l- ckers, certain types of tile and floor coverings in order to bring the bids within the limits of the appropriation. Neg& spokesmen at the meet ing of the Commissioners and the County and ...Chapel Hill school boards resisted to the end the de cision to eliminate some of the = construction, despite assurances that the entire building would t>e built as planned as soon as it is_ possible to do so. j One spokesman, the Rev. J. ft. Manley spoke of strong feelings on the matter “grown almost to passion” among the Negro group. He and others said they felt the entire building could be construct ed as plannAi and indicated that if it- were not “we don’t know 'that the . feeling of our people will develop into;" _Architect Archie K. Davis ex plain ed plans of the new building—— which are“sufch that the eliminat ed items will not jeopardize the heart of this modern school plant and can be added to the building when" money fcr -available- -min - Inuujl costs. Dr. C. W. Thompson. III. a re presentative of the Negro group, proposed that money from the bond issue set aside for the .white Schools be used. to augmerit the Negro appropriation to enable the construction as planned. He was advised that this could not be con sidered in view of equally pressing needs of the White Schools and committments made during the Bond Election. r'lior iu vnc uvuaivm, uitr miss loner? were advised by the Chapel Hill board that the State Schoolhouse Planning Commis sion had recommended that bids submitted on June 28 not be re jected in view of current world conditions and set up a priority iij construction programs as fol lows; (Unnecessary classrooms.
