Educational Loan Program Aids Many Farm Children As Offered By Duplin Produotion Credit Asso. Many a rural boy or girl has gone on from high school for college edu cations that prepare them for any of a variety of professional and public careers. Many have trained themselves for modern agricultural operations and home economics. In either category, the individuals and the nation as a whole have ben efited. But it must be acknowledg ed, too, that many such young per sons, earnest enough and withpro mising abilities, have been unable to finance themselves through sch ooling beyond public high school. This year, the Production Credit Associations have inaugurated an educational loan program for farm families that promises to fill this gap for many. The plan will make it possible for parents, or other in terested sponsors, to set up a joint loan fund for the student, in suffi cient amount to cover expenses, and with disbursements and repayments tailored to meet schooling needs and farming patterns. NO SECRET "The need for such financing had long been known to us," said Gar land P. King, General Manager of the Duplin Production Credit As sociation, recently. "We have, of course, made many loans to farm families in the past which included specified amounts for schodling needs. But the comprehensive loan fund plan, as now set up, was aee eral years in the planning.' Briefly, the plan works like this: Assuming the student's four years in college will cost $1,200.00 peg year, a $4,800.00 education loan is set up for parents (or other spon sors) and the student, as joint sig ners. Disbursements are made ae funds are needed and interest se cures only for the amount draws, and for the time it remains "Up standing. Meanwhile, during the four-year run of the fund, repay ments at the rate of $300.00 per year (or one-fourth of principal used the previous year) begin with the second year. At the end of th? fourth year, when the student nor mally would have completed col lege. $900.00 has been repaid on the total loan, leaving a principal bal ance of $3,900.00. This would be re paid over a three-year period ? either by the student, by then em ployed, or by the sponsors. Such figures merely illustrate the loan plan, King explained. "The a mount, more or less," be said, will depend upon the student's plans (Continued On Bask) Trial & Error Mrs. Ruby Kornegay clerk at the Duplin County Board of Health, has been very unhappy this week. Stray dogs killed her three white ducks. She has a small pond in her front yard and the ducks made a picture sque scene, swimming around in the water. The following article was given to me by Mrs. J. D. Kornegay this week, and it is most interesting. "Will History Repeat?" >? read it and see what you think. One of' the most widely read books of all times is "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." Written in 1^88 by Edward Gibbon it setfc forth five basic reasons why that gr#at civilization withered and died. These dtere: v The uwjermtnin* of the dignity and sanetity Of* the home, which is the basis for human society. Higher and higher taxes; the spending of public money for free bread and circuses for the popu lace. The mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every year more exciting, more brutal, more im moral. The building of great armaments when the real enemy was within the decay of individual responsibili ty. The decay of religion; faith fad ing into mere form, losing touch with life, losing power to guide the people. The oft-heard warning that "his tory repeats itself has an ominous meaning in the light of the above. IT DEPENDS ON YOU! The ave rage age of the world's great civili zations has been 200 years. These nations progressed through this sequence: From Bondage to Spiritual Faith From Spiritual Faith to Great Cour age From Courage to Liberty From Liberty to Abundance From Abundance to Selfishness From Selfishness to Complacency From Complacency to Apathy From Apathy to Dependence From Dependence Back Again to Bondage In 14 years the United State will be 200 years old. This cycle is not inevitable - IT DEPENDS ON YOU.
