Vic Vet Says

Q. I am a World War II
veferan and I own a house

bought with a GI loan. Suppose I have to dispose of it
for some compelling reason
efter July 25, 1958, the deadline for World War II veterans applying for GI loans. If
4VA restored my entitlement
would I be eligible for another GI loan even though the
deadline had passed?

A. Yes. If after the World
War II GI loan deadline the
VA restored - your entitlement,
you would be eligible for another GI loan. Your new deadline would be January 31,
1956. Of. course, VA _. would
have to be relieved of its guaranty liability under the original loan.

MOTHER~When God thought}
cf mother, He must have laughed
with satisfaction, and framed
it quickly~so rich, so deep, so

divine, so full of soul, power,
and beauty, was the concept on. |
