Vet Can Get
Release From
Home Liability
A veteran can get a release
from liability when he sells
residential property financed
by VA-guaranteed or direct
loans, Pete Wheeler, director,
Georgia Department of Veter
ans Service, said today
Should he fall to get a release,
the veteran remains liable to
the government for repayment
of the home loan, Mr. Wheeler
said.
He gave as an example: A
veteran bought his home In
1950, with VA financing. He
sold it in 1954, but failed to
get a release from liability.

THE FIGHTING in Viet Nam
grows day by day into a bigger
and deadlier war which, unless
the situation unexpectedly takes
a turn for the better, could lead
to a much wider, Korea-type
conflict.
The American people are be-
coming i n -
creasingly con
cerned about
this prospect,
and justifiably
so. No one
wants an all
out war. not in
Asia nor any
where else in
the world.
The United States is commit
ted to maintaining peace and
will not precipitate a large-scale
war. But at the same time, our
resolve must be just as strong
not to back down to Communist
aggression, not at the bargain
ing table and not in the field of
combat,
$ >:< ❖
THIS RESOLVE is now being
demonstrated in Viet Nam, and
despite their understandable feel
ing of apprehension, 1 believe a
vast majority of the American
people are convinced that our
stand in Southeast Asia serves
the best interests of the United
States as well as the entire Free
World.
Although it is highly ques
tionable whether we should have
entered into the Vietnamese con
flict in the first place, we are in
volved and have solemnly pledged
to assist in the fight against the
expansion of Communism. This
is a commitment which must be
kept. To pull out now would be

tantamount to defeat and the
consequences of an American
withdrawal would be felt
throughout the world.
Aside from the immediate fall
of South Viet Nam into Commu
! nist hands, our withdrawal would
encourage more Communist ag
gression in Asia. Europe and
Latin America.
This is why it is of the utmost
importance that we demonstrate
to the Communists and the rest
of the world that America wants
to keep peace and preserve free
dom and will if necessary fight
to do so.
AS THE FOREMOST expon
ent of freedom, it becomes our
role to also be its guardian. Be
, cause our freedom and that of
other people of the world is at
stake, the United States is un-
I avoidably involved in the strug
gle against Communism. We
have no other choice but to de
fend our vital interests when
ever they are challenged and
I with whatever means necessary.
I It is indeed encouraging to see
—in Viet Nam and in Santo
Domingo recently—that our for
eign policy makers are growing
, out of a reluctance to take strong
and decisive action to halt the
; spread of Communism.
Notwithstanding irrational at
tacks by our critics, our primary
I concern should be the preserva
tion of peace and freedom and
; that we always act in accordance
, with our role of world leader
’ship.
The veteran can get a release
from liability, when he sells,
and the buyer need not be a
veteran. But the purchaser
must meet VA credit stand
ards and contract to assume
the liability.

Cold Costs,
3 Billion :
Each Year I
There is nothing common
about the common cold as far I
as expense is concerned. It
runs up an uncommonly high
bill in the United States every I
year.
Just how high was discussed I
this week by Miss Lucile Hig
ginbotham, head of the cooper
ative Extension Service health
department, as another com
mon cold season approaches.
In addition to the discomfort I
and the more serious illnesses I
which the common cold causes,
she said you can add the time
lost from work, school and
play; a $3 billion medical bill,
and an estimated $2 billion cost
to industry in lost productivity.
The common cold is common in I
one respect, in that it is the
most common of all human I
ailments. Most every individual
has from one to three colds
during the year, and for some
reason young children have
more than adults.
According to Miss Higgin
botham, the non-feverish,
nose-infectious cold-- usually
called the “common cold” —
comprises only a fraction of
a large group of upper
respiratory diseases. The
group also includes certain |
pneumonias, croup, influenza,
an para-Influenza.
The health specialist cited a .
recent study by health and ine- I
dical authorities showing there
are approximately 284 million i
acute respiratory illnesses
serious enough to require me
dical attention during the year.
Modern research techniques
have indentified more than 100
new viruses of humans since
1948. Recent studies show that
many of these newly discovered
viruses cause the more severe
kinds of colds, Miss Higgin- 1
botham said. In fact, the great 1
majority of colds appear to be
due to viruses.
