REMODELING
NEW YORK —(AP)— American
families will have spent $835,000,~
000 in one year for new front
porches, berakfast nooks and sec
ond bathrooms” by the end of
1950. That outlay for structural
additions and alterations to homes
is estimated by the Tile Council
of America.
A report, based on government
surveys, shows that the most com
mon structural additions are
porches, garages, extra rooms and
bathrooms, in that order. Porches
alone account for 18 to 24 per cent
of such additions, New garages ac
count for 14 to 19 per cent, and
the addition of rooms for 13 to 17
per cent. Conversion of space into
baths or showers, and the addition
of a bath as an extra room, con
stitutes 8 to 10 per cent of struc
tural changes.
Telephone wire may be laid in
advanced areas in times of war
on the tops of trees or across open
country by an airplane with an
elongated wire-holding eylinder
attached to its underside. This
cylinder will hold a considerable
number of coils of wire, positioned
in tandem, with the ends spliced
to form a continuous length of
wire.
George Whitmire Named Manager

~ George T. Whitmire assumed

and a half years, having come to

Clarke County Veterans Receive
New Program For Home Financing
Veterans living in 143 Georgia
counties where GI home loans are
not available from private lenders
may now apply for direct fi
nancing through the Veterans Ad
ministration, Vaux Owen, VA’s
Georgia Regional Manager, an
nounced Wednesday afternoon.
The areas from which applications
for direct loans will be accepted
include none of the state’s larger
cities, VA studies indicated that
in all metropolitan areas, adequate
four per cent mortgage financing
is available from private lenders.
The designated areas were se
lected on the basis of records of
availability of GI home loans from
private sources. The Housing Act
of 1950 authorized VA to make di
rect loans in areas where adequate
four per cent financing from pri
vate sources is not available, Prior
to passage of that law, VA could
not actually lend money for GI
loans, but could only guarantee a
portion of a loan made by a lend
ing agency. In the larger cities,
Owen explained, the VA guarantee
is sufficient ‘to encourage lenders
to make housing loans at the low
four per cent interest rate.
In many other parts of the state,
particularly in rural areas, virtual
1y no private financing was offer
ed veterans, Owen said. Thousands
of veterans have thus been de
prived of their GI loan bkenefits.
Owen emphasized that direct loans
will not be made promiscuously
and that both the property and
the credit of the veteran will have
to meet VA standards.
The VA manager estimated that
approximately one-third of the
state’s World War II veteran pop
ulation lives in the counties where
direct loans have been authorized.
In some counties, direct loans were
authorized for suburban and rural
areas but not within the corporate
limits of the county seat.
Here are the conditions which
must be met for direct loans:
1. The veteran must not pre
viously have used any part of his
Athens. The company will be the
only complete service-type tire,
home and auto supply concern in
Athens. A full line of Firestone
tires and home and auto supplies
will be carried. Six men, in addi
tion Manager Whitmire, will staff
the company.
Mr. Whitmire is married to the
former Johnnie Whitehead. Both
are natives of Gainesville, Geor
gia. They reside here at 382 Green
wood Dr., and have one daughter,
Janie, three-and-a-half years of
age. Mr. Whitmire is a veteran of
four years service with Army Ord
nance, and holds the rank of Cap
tain in Organized Reserve Corps.
Athens Tire and Auto Supply
Company is now open for busi
ness, and the public is cordially
invited to come by and inspect
this newly renovated and reorgan
ized aufo and home sales estab
lishment.
GI loan guaranty entitlement.
2. The loan may not exceed
SIO,OOO.
3. The veteran must be a satis
factory credit risk, and the month
ly payments on his mortgage must
bear a proper relationship to his
income.
4, He must show that he is un
able to obtain four per cent fi
nancing from other sources, in
cluding loans from the Secretary
of Agriculture in the case of farm
housing.
As in the case of other GI loans,
the VA direct loan bears four per
cent interest, may be made re
payable over periods of up to 30
years, and the veteran receives a
gratuity credit of four per cent of
the amount which . ordinarily
would have been guaranteed by
the VA, up to a maximum of $l6O.
Owen said that veterans who
wish to apply for direct loans
should write to the Loan Guaranty
Officer at the VA Regional Office,
105 Pryor Street, Atlanta, stating
the location and price of the prop
erty and the amount of the loan
which will be required to finance
the purchase or construction of
the home, The VA Office will sup
ply an application form. .
