Want to hear about
our space program?
The crisis of over population in the cities, the plight
of the opportunity-starved rural areas . . . these prob
lems affect all Americans.
A solution is presented by the efforts to restore rural
urban balance.
In many sections of the Nation, the Consumer-Owned
electric systems have achieved great success in deve
loping local resources of space and people. We have
helped create home town industries, providing home
town jobs, with home-town payrolls.
About 70 per cent of the people live on 1 percent
of the land. We ought to turn this around, somewhat.
We must continue to develop job opportunities and im
prove the services and facilities in rural areas . . •
build a promise of a future for our local young people.
And in solving a rural problem, we can also pro
vide the space and living room that city people so
desperately seek . . .

Economist Cites
Truth in Lending
Law Provisions
A new law which went into
effect July 1 provides a num
ber of advantages for all users
of consumer credit. According
to Mias Lora Laine, home man
agement specialist with the
University of Georgia Cooper
ative Extension Service, it is
the Truth in Lending Law.
“This law requires all cred
itors to provide easy to read
information concerning the rel
ative cost of credit in per
centage terms and how much
you pay in dollars for credit,”
Miss Laine said.
More specifically, Miss Laine
pointed out the law will do
these things for you:
Show exactly how many
dollars a credit deal will add
to the price of what you are
buying.
Make it easier for you to de
cide which credit source of
fers you the best deal.
Help you make the price
comparisons despite the con
fusing terminology that is
used in credit contracts.
Miss Laine said the true an
nual interest rate is the only
reliable yard-stick for measur
ing one creditor’s lending
charge against another.
A HOME
IMPROVEMENT
LOAN IS
A LOT
LIKE MAGIC I
MAKE YOUR WEAKNESS WORK FOR YOU
The Bible says, “I can do all things through Christ
who gives me strength.” “Ye can do nothing without
me.”
Reverend Bruce Wilson, pastor of First Church,
Waycross wrote the following, which is backed by
the above Scripture: My Mother was a hard-work
ing and very wise woman. Many years ago she ob
served to me, “If you have a weakness, make it
work for you as a strength — and if you have a
strength, don’t abuse it into a weakness.” Through
the years, and in the different jobs 1 have held, I
have seen constant demonstrations of the truth of my
mother’s observations.
A person who chose to call himself frank and
candid can very easily find himself becoming tact
less and cruel. A person who prides himself on be
ing tactful can find eventually that he has become
evasive and deceitful.
A person with firm convictions can become pig
headed. A person who is inclined to be temperate
and judicious can sometimes turn into a man with
weak convictions and banked fires of resolution.
Good habits of health too rigidly followed can make
ybu a hypochrondriac. Hard work, unless balanced by
relaxation of mind and body, may eventually destroy
you.
Loyalty can lead to fanaticism. Caution can be
come timidity. Freedom can become license. Confi
dence can become arrogance. Humility can become
servility.
All these are ways in which strength become
weakness. But the reverse is true too.
Destructiveness based a desire to know what makes
something tick can often be channeled into construc
tiveness directed at making it tick better.
Gullibility can be turned into understanding and
compassion.
Restlessness can be turned into contemplation and
study.
Extravagance can be turned into generosity.
1 think of this often and, while I lead quite a reg
ulated life. I very often deliberately break habits
change patterns-merely to avoid danerer of extremes
and open up new avenues of inner growth.
Look at that first line again: “If you have a weak
ness, make it work for you as strength — and if you
gain strength, don’t abuse it into weakness.” Study
to apply yourself and I think you will find comfort,
strength, and truth in it.
The Veteran's
Corner
EDITOR’S NOTE: Below are
authoritative answers by the
Veterans Administration to
some of the many current
questions from former service
men and their families. Furth
er information on Veterans

“Many consumers haven’t
realized that when they ac
cepted on a discount loan
quota at five percent and
spread over three years, they
really were paying a true an
nual interest rate of 11 per
cent, Miss Laine said. That
small charge of one and one
half percent per month on a
revolving account equals a
not-so-small 18 percent per
year, she added.
L Miss Laine said the “easy
i terms” of a personal loan com
pany might mean as much as
30 to 40 percent interest be
fore the loan is paid.
The Truth in Lending Law
is essentially a labeling law.
; Miss Laine said it’s up to the
I consumer to read the labels.
