The loan business is booming.
During December, January and
February, health filths from the
library were seen by an audi-
ence of more than 300,000 per-
sons. Subjects ranged from
•communicable diseases to good
human relations
Would the ladies be interest-
ed in an expert account of how
foods should be preserved to ■
avoid the possibility of food-
borne diseases? Drop a cai/ to
the library and ask that "40
Billion Enemies" be booked to
on.
On second thought, it might
be simpler to call your local
health department and tell them
your plans. Chances are that
they will assume responsibility
for getting the film and supply-
ing a health specialist to make
side comments and answer any
questions after the film is
shown.
Perhaps you'd like to show
club members an approved,
color, on the library shelves.
Moreover, six new ones are in
some stage of development right
at the moment.
Film library management, as
is other work of the division, is
aimed at a single purpose: To
teach good health practices.
So the next time you're pro-
gram chairman, why not write
for a catalog of films and an or-
der blank?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q.—If I don't want to take my
GI insurance dividends an cash,
what kind of arrangements can
I make with VA to hold divi-
dends to my credit?
A.—You would have your
choice of two plans. Under one,
you simply tell VA you would
like to have your dividends
held for you, on deposit. In the
other plan, called the dividend
credit plan, VA holds your di-
vidends, and will automatically
withdraw funds to pay GI in-
surance premiums, in case you
miss paying them. Under both
plans, your dividends draw in-
terest.
Q.—Can a veteran get a GI
loan for the purpose of buying
an automobile for use in com-
muting to end from his job, or
for pleasure drivjng?
A.—No. However, if an
automobile is found to be essen-
tial in a veteran's business or
farming operations, it may be
possible to get a GI loan.

Plain talk to the man who thinks
"all cars are built alike today"
"1 lit one tiling we know
car buyers want above
all in an automobile is
quality. Yet many people
assume that all cars today
are pretty much the same
j. immit JUOOI in this respect.
This is far from being the case. I can
name at least 30 basic difference* in
the design of our '5'J Mercury, Natu-
rally, we (ieel these differences make
Mercury a better car. For example:
EXTRA STRENGTH STMTS WITS TSC FRAME
The backbone of every Mercury is the
frame. We use a heavy box-type con-
struction—the heaviest in the industry.
Competitors use frames that are up to
125 pounds lighter.
WE SOU QUALITY Y0« CM SEE
Compare the way Mercury builds en-
gine hoods. Most competitive cars use
what is known as a single panel con-
struction. Tins type of hood can be
twisted and turned with the slightest
pressuie— often IIutters and vibrates
when the car is in motion. At Mercury,
on the other hand, we use a double-
panel construction -two layers of
steel with the insulation sandwiched
in between. Not only is Mercury's
hood more rigid, but it looks better.
VOK FEEL THE QVAU1Y WITH EVERY STOP...
Mercury brakes arc the largest in the
field-with up to 22% more brake lin-
ing than competitive cars. And only
Mercury in its field has brakes that
adjust themselves mechanically. You
save money by eliminating periodic
adjustments. And you are safer be-
cause Mercury brakes stay properly
adjusted for the life of the linings.
This acts as an insulator—absorbs road
shocks thai would otherwise travel up
to the steering wheel. Mercury, unlike
spme cars, gives you this with either
manual or power steering
WE NAVE PLENTY OF PROOF THAT THIS IS
THE BEST-BUILT CM M AMERICA TODAY
Wc know it is the greatest Mercury
ever designed and built. Never in
Mercury's 20-year history have we had
so much value in the product itself.
Mercury has advantages everywhere
over com petition. The four described
on this page are only typical. In future
messages I'll tell you about doiens
more-in styling, comfort, in eveiy
thing you want in a car."
