Don Hurlbert Named
1952 Chairman Of
Alaska Vet’s Board
The Alaska World War II Vet
erans’ Board concluded a three
day meeting in Juneau, Dec. 10,
during which it reviewed the ac
tivities of the Veterans’ Affairs
Commission of the Territory for
the past year under the direction
of Floyd Guertin, Commissioner
of Veterans’ Affairs.
The report of the Commissioner
of the condition of the Veterans’
Revolving Fund on Nov. 30, 1952,
used to pay bonuses and make
loans to- eligible Alaskan veter
ans, shows that 3,951 bonuses
have been paid totaling $1,412,
110 and 1,563 loans have been
made to a total of $7,849,669.f>7,
since the program began in May,
1946. Additional loans through
banks under a guarantee by the
Commission against a percentage
o'f any loss has extended the bene
fits of this program to more vet
erans than the limits of the re
volving fund would have made
possible. Losses under the loan
program are reported to be less
than lVt> per cent and income
from interest on loans to date
shows an excess over expenses
of operation of $35,054.44, includ
ing a reserve against any future
uncollectible loans.
Don Hurlbert of Nome was
elected by the Board to be its
chairman for the next year. Other
members attending were Robert
Ellis of Ketchikan, John Hellen
thal of Anchorage, Embert Dem
mert of Craig and Wallace Cath
cart, Jr., of Fairbanks.
