Kansas City, Kas.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Ei-*ervlcemen and
women are vitally interested in the benefits
theit Government offers them through Vet
erans Administration and they are asking
thousands of questions daily. The following
questions pertain only to veterans' benefits
enacted by Congress.
Veterans who sell their homes
and let the purchasers assume the
4 percent GI loans, remain per
sonally responsible for the pay
ment of the loan. Veterans Ad
ministration warned today.
VA said World War II veterans
should not sell their property
without making certain that their
interests are protected. The best,
way to do that, VA stated, is to (
have the purchaser pay cash or
arrange a loan in his own name.
VA points out that property isj
more easily sold with the favor
able 4 percent GI mortgage re
maining in effect—a factor that
should influence the selling price.'
However, a veteran selling his
property with the GI loan intact 1
runs the risk of later having to
pay all or part of the debt re- 1
suiting from a default by the new I
owner. I
Should the new owner of the(
property fail to keep up the mort
gage payments, the holder of the
GI mortgage can foreclose.
When the proceeds of the sale
resulting from the forecloseure do
not cover the amount 6t the GI
loan outstanding, the difference
may remain a debt against the!
veteran. The VA has to pay the
holder of the mortgage for the
guaranteed portion of the debt.'
The veteran will then owe the
Government the net amount of
that payment, plus interest.
In many areas throughout the
country, foreclosure may take
place without notice being given l
directly to the original veteran
borrower (for example, fore
closure by publication) even
though the veteran remains liable j
for the debt.
For this reason, the veteran is
urged to keep the holder of the
GI mortgage and the Veterans
1 Administration advised of anj
change of his address. He should
also request the lender to notifj
him if the new owner defaults.
VA, when notified of property
sales and of any change of ad
j dress, will inform the veteran
i when it learns that the loan is in
( serious default or in danger oi
i foreclosure. The veteran can then
I contact the holder of the GI mort
Igage and the owner of the prop
erty to protect his interest. In
many instances, the veteran might
be able to obtain title back from
the owner and either sell the
property to cover the unpaid bal
ance or rent the property for
enough to keep the loan current.
Under certain conditions, VA
might agree to release of the vet
eran’s liability and substitute the
purchaser, who assumed the debt,
without impairing the guaranty.
This is done generally to cure or
avoid a defult.
Veterans faced with the prob
lem of foreclosure on property
they have sold with the GI mort
gage in effect can obtain assist
ance and advice from their near
est Veterans Administration Re
gional Office.

QUESTION: We paneled one endlof our liw
ihg room with tongue-and-grooved cedar. Wi
followed advice in filling tne nail holes with
wood putty mixed with cedar dust, but since
the cedar wood is light colored in some places,
and medium to dark brown in others, they
•till look bad. We once thought of having
all the walls paneled with cedar, but it’s far
! more work getting these nail holes fixed than
j hav* the room plastered. I like the effect
of wooden pegs used in putting down flooring
to give an early American look. Is there any
way this can be done?
—H. Q. Wk Kenosha, Wisconsin
ANSWER: Wood plugs of oak, mahogany,
and other hard woods are available or can
be cut from dowel stock to fill the holes of
screws countersunk. Nail holes, being small
and irregular, are sometimes filled witn hand
cut pegs. Both are cut off with a chisel and
the area sanded smooth. It’s a laborious job.
However, you can avoid holes completely by
laying the tongue-and-grooved cedar the same
way flooring is laid. Driva the nails slanting
through the tongue and countersink them.
; The hole is then covered by the groove of
! the next piece added.
QUESTION: What is the correct procedure
: with an angle iron over a window when put
ting rock veneer on a bouse? How far past
the opening must it go? Is it absolutely
necessary? i
—W. H. B., Reno, Nev.
ANSWER: Unless the opening is arched over
—quite a difficult job-the lintel is absolutely
necessary to carry the load of rock above
! window and door openings. Bearing surface
should be four to six inches for average open
ings, more for wider ones. The lip of the
angle iron is set back Vi inch from the face
of the wall so as to become invisible, and
the next course of rock or brick veneer above
the opening is laid directly on the leg of the
angle iron.
