Old Glory ... honor it... defend it
A yard or so of material— and almost 200 years of dreams and
determination —make an American Flag.
We honor that flag when we value the heritage it represents.
We defend it when we strengthen our freedoms by using them.
All this is part of what our young people must learn if they are to
become responsible citizens.
Many educators count on the Treasury’s School Savings Program
to help illustrate these ideas. They know that buying U. S. Savings
Stamps regularly gives each youngster an active part in his coun
try’s affairs, a part he can understand and from which he can
come to appreciate how his country and his freedom depend on
what he does as a citizen.
Let the School Savings Program help your students help America
and themselves.
When they buy their first Savings Stamps this year they’ll receive
a wallet card showing Old Glory. When they trade in their stamps
for a Series E Bond, a special Old Glory certificate will be
awarded to them.

Resolution from the Cancer
Committee of the Medical As
sociation of Georgia on Smok
ing and Health.
Whereas, the Medical Asso
ciation of Georgia is concern
ed in all matters relating to
the health of the public; and
Whereas, the evidence link
ing cigarette smoking with
lung cancer, pulmonary dis
eases and cardiovascular dis
eases can no longer be ignored;
and
Whereas,, the sum total of
evidence available today can
be most reasonably interpret
ed as indicating that cigarette
smoking is a major cause of
the increase in cancer of the
lung.
Now therefore be it resolved,
that the Medical Association
of Georgia desires to en
courage the dissemination of
health hazards of smoking.
Furthermore, it recommends
that its members help those
who are now smoking to dis
continue the habit through
education, through
personal example and
through the unique influence
which physicians have as
health counselors. In addition,
the Medical Association of
G°orgia favors steps on a
state-wide basis to publicize,
particularly in schools, homes
p^d vnuth groups, the harm
ful effects of smoking to the
end that young people will
not start to smoke.

THE State Department and the United States Information
Agency are looking for talented young men and women to work
at home and overseas. These people would be involved in carry
ing out the foreign policies of our country, helping to determine
our foreign policy, and acting as official spokesmen in support
of American objectives throughout the world.
A career with the Department of State is an exciting one,
especially sos recent college graduates.
The next written examination for entrance into the foreign
service will be held on December 6, 1969, and anyone desiring
to take the tests may do so at testing centers in Albany, Atlanta,
Columbus, Macon, Savannah, or Athens.
Applications for examination can be obtained by contacting
the Board of Examiners for the Foreign Service, Department of
State, Washington, D.C. 20520, or by writing to my office in
Washington. Applications must be mailed by this October 24th.
Applicants must be between the ages of 21 and 31 unless they
are twenty and have completed their junior year of college.
I would like to encourage any young man or woman in our
Congressional District who is interested in the foreign policy of
our country and in being actively involved in making foreign
policy and in carrying it out to apply for the screening examina
tion to be held in December.

Qualifying closed Monday at
INFLATION, HIGH INTEREST RATES, AND tight money
have caused a serious recession in the home building industry and
brought about a housing crisis worse than that of 1966.
Housing starts have fallen from an annual rate of 1.9 million in
January to 1.3 million in August. It is expected they will drop
below 1 million by the end of this year. This is far below the 2.6
million units a year called for in criteria set by the Housing Act
of 1968.
In short, the situation is very bad. Homebuilders are hurting.
Home buyers, especially those in the low and moderate income
levels, are priced out of the market by extremely high interest
rates. Veterans are particularly penalized. Few of them can afford
to pay the going rates of 8,9, or 10 per cent.
Along with all moderate and low income housing, the special
veterans housing program has also become a victim of inflation.
I HAVE COSPONSORED A BILL to relieve this crisis by in
creasing the availability of guaranteed home loan financing for
veterans which, at the same time would give new life to the sag
ging home building industry.
It would allow the investment of up to $5 billion from the
National Service Life Insurance fund in mortgage loans for vet
erans. Under the bill, capital would be injected into veterans
housing at the rate of $1 billion a year for five years.
It would in no way jeopardize NSLI trust funds created by
premium payments of World War II veterans on their insurance.
In fact, it would boost the income of the fund because mortgage
interest would be higher than present revenue from government
securities.
THE EFFECT OF THIS PROPOSAL would be to allow vet
erans to use funds they have paid on their insurance policies for
the purchase of VA-guaranteed housing.
The fund belongs to veterans and it ought to be made available
to better enable them to own homes. Time is short. The World
War II home loan program will expire July 25, 1970, and I
hope that the Congress will act to make this money available for
v At wans and also assist the home construction industry.
The bill will be considered by the Subcommittee on Veterans*
Legislation, of which I am Chairman.
