VIOLET RAYS ON (
OUR WAYS

malice toward none, but with the
common good of all In mind

.More welcome news: the prospect
of more pavfed~>etreets in the town
of Burnsville, according to announ
cement from Mayor Reece Mc-
Intosh, appearing in last week’s
Record. This news will be especially
appreciated by those living along
the routes to be thus improved, as
well as by all drivers of automobiles
within the town limits.
•* • •
♦
There is another class of people
in Burnsville who would just as
warmly welcome some news or
promise of new sidewalks, and im.
provement to some already built
which are in sad need of repair.
There are still quite a few people
here as elsewhere who for one or
more reasons do not jump into a
car every time they need a loaf of
bread from the corner grocery. And
yet these are just as deserving
citizens as those who ride in in
stallment-bought automobiles, fu
eled with gas often bought on
credit. Accordingly, they should
have sidewalks where they ' can
walk in a little safety from heavy
traffic on the streets.
•• • •
Sidewalks should certainly be
extended to the town limits along
the main street and highway.
Costly? Doubtless it would take a
considerable bit of money. But
funerals are also costly. And It is
a matter of common knowledge
that beyond the present limits of
sidewalks on either end of town,
are 35 mile speed zones, where the
lives of innocent people who have
to walk are daily endangered by
reckless and careless drivers, who
seem to take a fiendish delight in
crowding pedestrians off’ the road.
There are numerous instances
where these ickety-split drivers
have splattered the clothing of
pdestrians with muddy water in
rainy weather. And still more ser
ious, there have been several near
accidents, which would most sure
ly have been fatal to one or mbre
innocent and helpless people walk
ing to or from town.
*» * *
By all means pave every street
possible. But please give a thought
to the many adults and children
who still must walk, and provide
a dry smooth surface for them
alongside the streets just as rapid
ly as means will allow. -

I lives, same as in Burnsville an
other places, -they’s ‘bout two
thirds of the autybile travel what
ain’t necessary a-tall. Bust my ‘
galluses, gentlemen, as I ■ alius
says, autybiles hev nigh bank
ripped the kentry. Many a family
c’d a-owned a nice home with what
they’ve spent fer cyars. An some as
aid hev their own homes losted ’em
a tryin to out-do ther naybors in
the fancy autybiles they rid In,
“Me, I were like everbody else, a
thinkin they weren’t no livin
‘thout a cyar. So, I ups an buyed
one, an fust ye knowed, I were
a-doin like most folks, -a-goin bout
twice as much as necessary. Wal,
when Salley, my wife seed how I
were n’giectin the corn an taters ’
phe took an hid the cyar keys. Then 1
come time to git a new tail tag, :
she wouldn’t loan no butter an aig (
money to buy hit with. So, the old
cyar’s a standin out thar kivered
with dust an rust. But as Salley
says, we’uns own the shed what
shelters hit, which I reckon is
mor’n most can boast of.’’ .Nuff Sed.
GI LOANS AVAILABLE
TO VETERANS
Veterans having GI loans on
their homes, farms or businesses
can make extra payments to the
lenders at any time, or can pay
off the entire loan without a pen
alty charge, Veterans Administra
tion announced in response to
numerous inquiries.
The minimum extra payment a
veteran may make on his loan,
VA said, is at least the amount of
one month’s payment, or a flat
SIOO.
If a veteran who makes pay- j
ments in accordance with this pro- .
viso wishes to, he may have the
extra principal re-applied later to
regular payments, provided the
lender agrees. The purpose of 1
this arrangement would be to pre
vent the loan from going into de
fault at some future time, should
the veteran later become hard
pressed for money to meet future
regular payments.
About 1,076,000 loans have al
ready been repaid in full since the
beginning of the VA loan pro
gram in 1946. This represents
about one out of every four loans
guaranteed or insured by VA.

Q —l applied to VA for disability
compensation by a letter. VA sent
me a formal application form to
be filled out. Is there any time
limit on mailing this form back

A—The form should be returned
to VA within one year from the
■ date it. was sent to you, in order
for VA to consider your original
letter as the effective date of
your application.
Q —ls a veteran is going to
school full-time under the Korean
Cl Bill, would he also be eligible
to draw GI unemployment allow
ances, since he was not employed?
A —No. The law prohibits full-
