VETERANS STILL NEED RED CROSS Aid to Disabled Men Increases as Problems and Legislation Bring Complications. 20,000 MEN DIE EACH YEAR Many Entitled to Benefits Still-' Uninformed of Just Claims to Compensation. ISlght years after the World War finds service to disabled veterans still t ujajor responsibility of the American Hod Crown. ibis situation is due to the incroaa lug problems Involved and the coinplex character of veteran legislation. There la alao au increase in numbers of death cases" handled, iva compared with clai:na for living veterans, thougfr Uie work. for. thw Utter re mains heavy. About 20.000 ox-service men are dying each year, a considerable percentage of these having service-connected disabilities. In a majority of cases. Red Cross Chapters find their assistance is needed in helping dependents present, thoir claims for deuth compensation, insurance payments, bonus, burial allowances, and other government benefits due them. An episode of the past year illustrates the dlillcultleB frequently encountered by the Red Cross experts In rendering such asAnatance. A veteran dying from service-connected disease, was trying from his bedside to establish at that late time his claim for Government aid to his fumiiy, and the necessary proofs were in a physician's records across the from him. To obtain the needed affidavits before it was too iate, a cross-continent airplane flight web necessary, then a Red Cross Chapter in Pennsylvania hurried the investigation, sending the papers back to the veteran and his #Red Cross helpers la Oregon, by air mail. It reached there in time. Another discovery In Red Cross assistance to veterans and their families is that many dependents of these men unquestionably entitled to Gov-" ernment aid, have struggled along, Ignorant of their rights. Aproxlmately 2,686 Red Cross Chapters carry on Home Service work, In assistance to veterans and their damilies. The Chapetrs 'also conduct' campaign among veterans for, reinstatement and conversion of their term insurance. Among its other duties, the Red Cross assumed at the request of the Canadian Government the administration of a fund allotted, to the care of Canadian-dlsabjt^d veterans living in the United States. In the United States the Red Croat assisted an average of about 80,009 disabled veterans and their families every month in the past fiscal year. Indicating the sleo of this undertaking, National Headquarters of the Red Cross expended $1,641,178.18 on disabled veterans alone, and $509,451.72 on assistance to men on active duty with the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, while Red Cross local Chapters expended a tptal of^f1,987,000. Red Cross assistance to service men overshadowed every other phase of Its program, even its disaster relief, until the Florida hurrlc&ne. Help for veterans covers many demands, from temporary aid until Government clalmB are adjusted or until the ex-soldier la properly hospitalized, to extending capital loans to rehabilitated veterans endeavoring to become self-supporting in business. Several such capital loans were to blind veterans. . . .. Contact with veteVans In hospitals is maintained -by Red Cross personnel which doctors agree Influences the veteran's welfare and Improvement The Veterans'. Bureau was planned> to carry on social work Ip its hospitals for mental, cases, and. in many cases ' the Government and the Red Cross are co-operating for the wpltaHT of the men suffering war disabilities.

Watch Out For Pecan Tree Pesta^ Clemaon College, Nov. 8.?The pinhole borer, the trunk borer, ami the twig girdler are a destructive trio of insect enemies of the pecan grower to i be fought in fa J1 and winter, advises J. O. Pepper, extension entomologist. Below are his suggestions briefly stated. - ---At this time of the year oae often observe a pin-hole borer work" ing in the bark of pecan trees. This insect is commonly known as the redshouldered shot-hole borer, - and wherever it is abundant it is an Indication that the tree is suffering from one or more causes. This insect as a rule attacks only dead or dying wood; therefore it is important that all dead trees and prunings be removed from the orchhrd promptly an<JL burned. It is necessary ulso to keep trees in a vigorous growing condition by good orchard management. The trurik borer drills its burrow straight into the heart- of the tree, where the burrow generally splits into two branches, one passing upward, the other downward. The control for this pest is to inject intd the opening' of the burrow two medicine dropperfulH of carbon disulphide and immediately close the opening with beeswax, paTiffin or putty. The work of the twig girdler can be observed now by the smaller branches being severed from the tree. This insect lays its eggs between the girdle and the end of the severed limb, so that when the limb falls to the ground it carries with it every stage of the insect. The control for this insect is to go through the freciin ... grove and pick up all fallen twigs and burn them. This should be done sqpne time *m December and again In car}y February.I" . ^ .v % " " 4 '' -.'yv,*v?* ONE- AT A TIME Buying a new car is one thing.
