146 loans totaling 88,918.78 to
soldiers on m aneuvers in the
Bend area and to Camp Abbot
troops during July, Mr. Frank J.
Dunning, field director, reported
yesterday. Thirty-eight loans to

handled 394 cases for Abbotmen.
Of the entire am ount, $470
might well be considered an o u t

"G ran ts” were made to 10 sol
diers whose financial position
precludes the possibility of col

made to a Camp Abbot soldier.
