^VeU' Al a service to veterans in the community, this newspaper will publish a weekly column of news briefs from the Veterar.a Admin istration. For more detailed in formation, veterans should con tact or write to the nearest VA Contact Office at Odd Fellows Bldg., Portland Oregon Veterans Use Loans Nearly half of the veterans who obtain G. I. farm loans are en gaging in specialized farming op erations, according to a survey of guaranteed loan transactions made by the veterans administra tion. A study of farm loans closed over the four-month period shows 20 per cent of these veteran farmers engaged in producing grain, cotton, fruits or vegetables; 19 per cent, in dairy products; 7 per cent, in livestock: and 2 per cent in poultry. The remaining 52 per cent were operating gen eral farms with widely diversified products. Nearly 40,000 veterans of world war II had received VA guaran teed loans by the end of 1947, and new applications for such loans during recent months have aver aged about 1400 monthly. Total value of farm loans ap proved approaches $154,000,000, on which the VA’s liability because of guaranty or insurance is nearly $71,000,000. The G. I. bill authorizes the VA “S” stands for Strength—drink it from a glass. No finer food for laddie or lass. Drink more of it—don't be a scoffer. OUR PURE MILK is Nature’s best offer.

MINNEAPOLIS — The race be tween increasing personal incomes and advancing prices is continuing, with income slightly ahead, the monthly Investors Syndicate sur vey of “real income” reveals. The "real income” index is $1.03 com pared with $1.00 a year ago, the .■ urvey shows. "Real income” is the relationship between revenue and living costs. The increase must be judged in relation to conditions a year ago, Investors Syndicate cautioned. Then sharp price increases had out run personal incomes, so the “real income" index was down. The pres ent index reflects a closer balance more than it does an actual gain. Miscellaneous costs continue to increase faster than food, clothing or shelter, the survey discloses. In dications are that any break in the price spiral is likely to start with clothing prices, Investors Syndi cate observed. v "There are now no indications that thé upward trend of prices and incomes wii! be reversed,” said E E. Crabb, chairman and president of brve.-tors .Svnd'cate, which is one of the ehtiorr's largest distr'.i-u- t :s <■( investment certificates. “Tt.vie are many signs that tne ueeris <rf our consumers and the iir rrl'.h rrf our economy will keep the foil produ. tion period going for sortie time,” to guarantee 50 per cent of the loan, up to a maximum guarantee of $4000 on realty loans and $2000 on non-real estate loans. Students Study Abroad The number of world war II veterans studying abroad under the G. I. bill has increased almost 350 per cent during the past year. At the beginning of the current year, 6055 ex-servicemen and wo men were studying in 422 schools and colleges in 44 countries. At the same time last year, the total enrollment abroad was 1307. Veterans are eligible for over seas study under the G. I. bill on the same basis as in the United States. Question of the Week Q. I am negotiating to purchase a home under the G. I. bill. The appraisal value is lower than the purchase price. Will the veter- ans administration guarantee my loan if I agree to pay the differ ence in cash? A. No. The veterans adminis tration will not guarantee a loan on a home where the appraisal value is less than the purchase price. This provision of the law is for your protection.
