Veterans Loans in
State To Be Less,
Director Reports
Salem - Oregon veterans'
farm and home loans were
granted to 198 veterans in
Jackson county in 1959 in
the amount of $2,073,000, H.
C. Saalfeld, director of the
state department of veterans'
affairs, reported this week.
Starting this year, however,
Saalfeld said, loans will be
reduced about 65 per cent be
cause of a shortage of loan
funds. This could mean that
only 73 veterans in Jackson
county will receive loans to
taling $767,000 during 1960
if the reduction were uniform
statewide.
Actually, veterans' loan ap
plications are being scheduled
for funds statewide on a "first
come, first served" basis.
Loans for all of Oregon will
be limited to about 120 a
month, starting in April, as
against the average of 430
loans granted each month last
year.
Shortage to Continue
Saalfeld said the shortage
will continue through 1960,
because the state veterans' de
partment has reached the
constitutional limit of bonds
it may issue to finance the
program. It may now loan
only the money it receives
from veterans' monthly loan
repayments, after paying op
erating expenses.
Whether the shortage con
tinues next year will depend
on the outcome of a measure
on the ballot in next Novem
ber's election to increase the
limit of bonds that may be is
sued. The loan program re
quires no tax funds ana is
self-sustaining.
Since the state veterans'
loan program started in 1945,
a total of 1,019 veterans in
Jackson county have bor
rowed $7,988,100.

St. Mary's of Medford spurt
ed to - a safe margin in the
last 3V6 minutes last night to
turn back an improved Tal
ent high basketball team 43
to 33, and remain undefeated
in the Jackson County B
league.
Prospect held off Butte
Falls 50 to 46 in the other
league fracas.
St. Mary's will be host to
Prospect on Friday night
while Butte Falls journeys to
Talent.
The Crusaders of Medford
went into the last quarter of
their tussle here leading by 28
to 23. A long pusher by Tal
ent's Ed Seaver made it 28 to
25. St. Mary's widened to 32
to 25 on jump goals by Bob
Evans. Then Seaver and SM's
Dick Evans traded long push
ers. Seaver followed with a
pair of free heaves for 34 to
29.
Bob Evans touched off the
Crusader cinching surge with
a jumper. An interception by
Ron Daley set up a fast break
and Al Yates scored. Bob Ev
ans netted a long jumper and
Yates added a jump from the
side for 42 to 29.
A stubborn Talent zone de
fense and cold SM shooting
limited Crusader scoring in
the first and third periods.
The visiting Bulldogs also
pestered the Medford team
with a weave and drive of
fense and Seaver's long and
mid-range firing added to the
Talent threat. But Crusader
defenders gave the Talent
club fewer shooting chances
than they themselves took.
On offense SM shoved in 20
field goals to the Bulldogs'
14. St. Mary's had only three
points on free tosses while
Talent had five.
The Medford parochials
broke away from a 9-each
knot at the end of the first
quarter to head by nine point
margins. They led by seven, 24
to 17 at halftime and were
outshot 6 to 4 by Talent in
the third quarter.
Seaver was high scorer with
19 points. For St. Mary's the
Evans brothers, Dick and Bob
each had 12.
Prospect made good on
more than 50 per cent of its
field shots in the first half to
get a good bulge on Butte
Falls. The Cougars had quar
ter gaps of 18 to 12, 34 to 21
and 44 to 35.
