Letter To £ditor
Dear Frank:
Please allow me space in
your paper to pay tribute to
Mr. J. J. (Jake) Kibler, a true
consecrated Christian gentle
man who was called home last
week by the Master to join the
throng of saints.
He was truly a Godly man
with a quiet faith who did
justly, loved mercy, and walked
humbly with his God.
In these trying times we need
more men of Jake’s character
and quality. He was a blessing
to those who knew him and he
will be greatly missed by his
church, his community, his
loved ones and friends.

Many Vets are
buying homes
Many of the 60,000 veterans
returning to civilian life each
month will be buying homes
that are comparable in quality
to the homes many World War
II veterans “traded up” to
after years of building equity
in their less expensive first
homes.
Stanley Zuk, manager of
the Columbia Veterans Admin
istration office said that nat
ionally 130,000 veterans have
applied for loans under the
11)66 G.I. Bill. Many of the
homes bought by this group,
he says, are in the $17,000
class. The average home bought
on a G.I. loan immediately af
ter World War II cost $5,385.
Vietnam era veterans and
cold war veterans are eligible
for home loans and other ben
efits on the same basis as vet
erans of other wars. They must
have at least 181 days active
military service w'th at least
one day of that service after
January 31, 1955. Veterans
can get a VA guaranteee for
up to $7,500 of a home loan,
Zuk said, for 10 years after
discharge, plus one year for
each three months of active
duty.
In World War II G.I. pro
gram, Zuk theorizes, that ac
counted for much of the up
grading in homes for veterans.
World War II veterans purch
ased homes at the rate of half
a million per vear. he said, and
War is now being waged
against the Aedes Aegypto
mosquito in the city of New
berry.
*«, : — —
few could afford down pay
ments. A VA guarantee allow
ed them to get loans from
private lenders, and the equity
they built up while making
payments on this first home
put many of them in a posi
tion to buy larger homes with
conventional financing in later
years.
During the housing boom of
1951-1955, when nearly 7.5
million new nonfarm homes
were started, VA loans financ
ed the purchase of nearly one
of every five houses built.
More than 70 per cent of WW
II veterans have bought homes
since returning to civilian life
and over 40 percent used a
VA loan.
As of October 1, the VA will
be authorized to make direct
loans in certain areas up to
$25,000, instead of being lim
ited to $17,500 as before.
Dr. Von A. Long, Newberry
County Health Department,
says that the first phase of
the war will be finding where
Aedes Aegypti are breeding.
The method used is called
oviposition traps. Dr. Long
explains that an oviposition
trap is a black pint jar, par
tially filled with water, with a
piece of Masonite clipped to
the inside.
The oviposition or egg-laying
trap is a result of much re
search and testing. It has been
proven to be the ideal breed
ing site for the Aedes Aegypti.
The Aedes Aegypti lays its
eggs on the Masonite paddle
just above the water line,” Dr.
Long said. “When the water
level is raised and the eggs are
wet, the hatching process be
gins.”
Periodic collection of the
Masonite paddles and micro
scopic examination reveal the
extent of Aedes Aegypti in the
area.
Residents are requested not
to move or otherwise tamper
with the jars as they will pro
vide information valuable to
the eradication of the mosquito.
The southern portion of the
United States comprises the
largest single land area infest
ed with Aedes Aegypti mos
quitos. Most o f the Latin
American countries have al
ready eradicated the mosquito.
Until it is eradicated, the
Aedes Aegypti, potential car
rier of yellow ftver, dengue
fever, and some types of en
cephalitis, poses a constant
threat to our hemisphere.

State Parks at
peak beauty
The beginning of peak color
in South Carolina’s Upcountry
is about two weeks away, ac
cording to superintendents at
Pleasant Ridge, Oconee, Table
Rock and Paris Mountain state
parks.
Each year thousands of per
sons visit the Upcountry to
view the colorful foliage, which
has been termed South Caro
lina’s most spectacular show.
Although the change in color
is now taking place in the up
per elevations and northern
sides of the mountains, the
leaves are not expected to
reach their peak until the week
ends of October 8 and 15. Warm
weather or rain could slow
this.
At upper levels, sumac is
now red, southern led oaks are
quite red and sweet and black
gums are bluish red. Yellow
poplar is beginning to get a
tint of yellow and the maples
are showing color changes on
the edges.
Visitors who wb.h a break
in their tour will find many
scenic picnicking areas, places
for relaxation and nature trails
at the Oconee, Table Rock, Par
is Mountain and Pleasant Ridge
State Parks. All of the parks
have rest room facilities.
Table Rock State Park is 16
miles north of Pickens via S. C.
Route 11. Pleasant Ridge is
22 miles northwest of Green-
' le on S. C. 11, while Paris
ountain is 7 miles north of
Greenville via U. S. and S. C.
Route 253. Oconee State Park
is 8 miles northwest of Wal-
halla on S. C. 107.
