So we‘ll be there, covering the gala event, and hope you‘ll be there too, Highland Parkersr. oi HOME IS IMPORTANT . Now while we‘re on the subject of homes, let‘s go into this a bit further, We‘ve talked to scores of vets lately who feel as this column does: â€" There‘s a lot of talk about helpâ€"| ing the vetsâ€"but where the help is needed most (financially, in } most instances), he‘s kicked aâ€"| round, asked why he wasn‘t able | to save three, four, five thousands dollars while he was earning a corâ€" poral‘s pay: | Now, we ask you, where can the average vet get $10,000 for this stupidly high down payment? Surely in those grim postâ€"highâ€" schoolâ€"andâ€"collegeâ€"years he spent in olive drab he wasn‘t able to save $10,000â€"not on $50 per month, less laundry, insurance, etc. Man is happiest when he has his own home. When he can build a home of his choice for his family. But we vets don‘t accept the high down payment demands on rather poorlyâ€"constructed homes on small pieces of property. WANT HALF DOWN . _ Most banks and loan agencies want about one half down (about $10,000 cash) before they‘re willâ€" ing to talk about long term financâ€" ing. We don‘t know one vet who doesn‘t want to have his own home â€"whether he be an exâ€"enlisted man or exâ€"officer. But they‘re not building their dream homes. And there are good reasons: Costs, Down payments, Mortgages: ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE . ... These figures, of course, are out of line. Nevertheless, they‘re accepted. We warâ€"weary vets know* prices are out of line. But that doesn‘t bother us half as much as the proâ€" hibitively high down payments reâ€" quested by loan companies, banks, and so on. f us Now you folks know that today building costs are still skyâ€"rocketâ€" ing. And they‘ll probably continue to jump for awhile. â€" To get a decent but modest.home nowadays, located in a good neighâ€" borhood with a little ground aâ€" round it, you have to pay between 15 and 20 thousand dollars.

North Shore Gas Company Makes: Two Promotions Most of the vets I know, for example, could afford to pay $60 to $100 per month back to a loanâ€" er. & Now you banks, loan agencies and mortgage houses, have some faith in us. Lend us that money for a new home. You‘ll get your money back, with good interest, probably fastr than you thought. And they can pay that regularly and without fail.
