Many questions regarding
loan guaranty privileges are
asked by veterans. Replies to
these questions are obtained
from the Veterans Administra
tion and published in this col
umn as a service to our vet
erans.
Q: After I have repaid the
amount I borrowed under the
G-I Bill, is my loan guaranty
privilege restored to its original
amount?
A: No. You may use the
full amount of your loan rights
only once.
Q: Do the guaranty or inst
ance provisions of the G-I Bill
limit the total amount that I
can borrow?
A: No. The size of the loan
depends on what the lender is
willing to lend. The limitation
is on the amount of the VA
guaranty and not on the size
of the loan.
Q: I was refused an appli
cation for a loan by one lender
and now would like to know
what I should do to get a
guaranteed loan on a business
venture?
A: The VA regional office
in your area might be able to
put you in touch with a lender
who makes G-I loans.
Q: May a veteran obtain a
guaranteed loan to buy or es-

S
' | 'HERE was a time when Christ-
man went underground. People
who edvocated Christmas were in
danger of arrest and imprisonment
and it looked as though Christmas
was on Its way out.
It all happened around 1644 when
the Puritans in England forbade
any merriment or religious serv
ices. by act of parliament, on the
ground that is was a heathen
festival. What resulted was much
grumbling, breaking of the law and
a Christmas underground which
wrote and distributed pamphlets in
favor of Christmas.
In 1648, for instance, was pub
lished “Canterbury Christmas.”
This pamphlet gives an account of
the subsequent proceedings after
the Cryer of Canterbury had upon
Wednesday, December 22, "openly
proclaimed that Christmas day and
all other superstitious festivals
should be put downe. and a market
should be kept on Christmas day.
Which being not observed, (but
very ill taken by the country) the
town was thereby unserved with
provision and trading very much
hindered; which occasioned great
discontent among people, caused
them to rise in a rebellious way.”
Among the rarest of the pam
phlets issued at that time is one
entitled ‘The Examination and
Tryal of Old Father Christmas.” In
this little volume, "one old Christ
mas was commanded to be brought
to the Bar, then was a jury for Life
and Death to be impaneled.” The
Judge was called Judge Hate-bate,
the Sheriff’s name was called
Leonard Love-peace.”
In the end Christmas is acquitted,
but is cautioned by Judge Hate-bath,
“for avoiding all such scandals as
have been cast upon you for the
future, do think fit to admonish you,
that you remember your Office is
not so much to feast the Body, as
to refresh the Soul, by thankful and
pious Meditations.”
Charles II re-established Christ
mas in 1678 and “jolly Old Father
Christmas” has never had to stand
trial since.
OUR CHRISTMAS GIFT
By Lillian N. Werts, Chappells, S. C.
The wee, wee babe in the manger lay
The wise men of old knelt to pray.
A bright star shone up in the sky
Angels sang carols from on high
Sweet songs to the infant boy,
Songs of happiness and great joy.
Glad songs of the Christ child’s birth
Good tidings, we bring unto the earth.
Bringing gladness, joy and peace
Unto the mighty, unto the least,
To gladden the heart of rich or poor,
To drive sorrow from our door.
Presents they bought to the wee babe,
Gifts of love they were not afraid.
No Christmas tree, no wreath on door,
The gifts were piled upon the floor.
Precious gems and sweet perfume
Turned,to heaven, that lowly room.
In this tiny stable on Christmas morn,
So long ago the Christ was born.
Wise men searched until they found,
The tiny babe in Bethlehem town.
Peace and love came to earth that day.
Our gift, the Savior, don’t turn him away.

It is seldom that the solu
tion of a game problem is to
increase the kill, but we are
offered such a solution today
—and experts from coast to
coast agree on it.
What is this unusual prob
lem? It’s the same in 30 states.
We’ve got too many deer. Ac
cording to Durwood L. Allen,
wildlife technician, we are
holding our herds at too high
a level.. Wte are letting them
ruin ranges by overbrowsing,
and we are letting thousands
dig every winter from starva
tion.
Big-game specialists say this
is the answer: Kill more deer.
Reduce the herds to what win
ter forage will support. And
bucks-only won’t do it. Does
and fawns must be taken in
many areas.
It could be done—except for
the well-meant opposition of a
host of people who have not
yet recognized the issue: Shoot
them and use them ... or let
them starve.
A deer range is no better
than its winter food supply.
Moreover, the herd must live
on the browse that will grow
every year. If they eat more
than that, the range goes down
hill. That means a permanent
reduction in the capacity of
the range to support deer. , It
takes 30 acres of good land
to support one deer for one
year.
In the minds of many peo
ple the thing to do for starv
ing deer is to feed them. That
has been tried. It’s no go.
Plant winter food? The plants
are killed before they get
started.
Maine and Minnesota are ex
amples of states that are do
ing a good job of managing
their deer. They shoot both
sexes. Their herds hold up
and are in good balance. Min
nesota had the country’s high
est 1947 deer take—an official
102,879.
Administrators in the states
who want to adopt a more pro
gressive deer management pro
gram are being stalled by an
opinionated minority that
blocks efforts to increase the
kill and allow the taking of
does. We must recognize the
fact that rigid buck laws are
outmoded. If game men were
permitted to apply their man
agement know-how, the useless
waste of starvation-killed deer
would c/egse. A great many
more sportsmen need to inform
themselves and get things mov
ing.
