‘SWEETHEART CONTESTANTS
Honoring their parents on
their golden wedding anniver
sary, members of the family of
Mr. and Mrs. William T. Cole
man gathered July 17, 1968 at
the parental home on route 1,
Nyssa.
Cecil Ward and WiiiiamCole-
man were united in marriage
July 17, 1918, at Vale. She is
the daughter of John and Ida
Ward, Malheur County pio
neers, while Mr. Coleman came
west with his family from Miss
ouri across the Oregon Trail
in one of the last great wagon
trains in 1897. They settled in
the Baker valley and he came to
Nyssa in 1915. He was in the
U. S. Army at the time of their
marriage.
This was the first time in
twenty-six years thatthepar-
ents and all of their children
had been together. The eight
children are Albert and Bill
Coleman of Nyssa, Mrs. Ralph
(Cecile) Hodges of Seattle, Mrs.
A. F. (Melda) Bippes and Perry
Coleman of Portland, Mrs.
Norma Salzman of Nampa, Mrs.
Richard (June) Mace of Portland
and Mrs. Larry (Shirley) Haney
of Caldwell.
Due to Mr. Coleman’s poor
health, an open house recep
tion was not held. However, the
family and other relatives en
joyed visiting and a potluck
dinner in honor of the occasion.
4,488 OREGON
VETERANS GET
1967-68 LOANS
The Oregon Department of
Veterans’ Affairs granted farm
and home loans to 4,488 vet
erans during fiscal 1967-68 in
the amount of $60,794,600, H.C.
Saalfeld, director, reported
today.
This was the highest dollar
volume on record for a fiscal
year and the second highest in
loans. It was a 14 percent gain
in dollar volume and a 3 per
cent gain in loans over 1966-
67.
In Malheur County last year,
loans were granted to 47
veterans in the amount of
$757,550, compared with 30
loans in 1966-67 for $459,600.
Since the loan program
started in 1945, loans have gone
to 636 veterans in this county
in the amount of $5,724,650.
Statewide, 62,699 loans have
been granted in the amount of
$591,539,124.
Borrowers have repaid
$308.7 million of this in prin
cipal and $105.4 million in
interest, with monthly repay
ments currently averaging over
$4 million. Of the 62,699 loans,
35,199 were outstanding June 30
in the amount of $358,056,038.
Saalfeld said the loan pro
gram continues to earn a net
revenue after paying all
expenses of the loan program
and the service and coordina
tion division, and the State’s
share of costs for maintaining
the rehabilitation programs of
veterans’ organizations and
county service officers.
This net revenue last year
was $2,752,136, bringing the
total earnings since 1945 to
$24,396,353.
By action of the special ses
sion of the 1967 Legislature,
$13,617,574 of these earnings
revert to the State’s general
fund August 15, leaving the
Department $10,778,779 as a
reserve representing 3 percent
of loans outstanding. This
makes a total of $21,635,479
that have been transferred from
loan earnings to the general
fund.
