On January 28,1946, our son enlisted in the AAF. He would have been 18 March 23, 1946. He was all the help we had and we are past 58. We haven’t got an allotment from him as yet. How will we go about getting it?— W. and N. E. C. t Success, Ark. A. Allotment for parents is vol untary. If your son has provided for an allotment, it probably has not had time to get to you if he only enlisted in January. Suggest you write your son and be sure he has provided for this allot ment. Q. When will our boy get home? He has been in service ?0 months and overseas 15 months. He has three battle ttars. He is now in Austria with .'he occupation forces and is greatly needed on our dairy and grain farm.—Mrs. A. L. W., Sax- «pahaw, N. C. A. Unless there are circum stances which would prevent it, your son should be home not later than June 30, according to his point score. Q. Where can I obtain infor mation in regard to a non-support charge for a 13-year-old boy? This boy’s father enlisted in the army. He is married and has mother child, age 3. I would like •nformation as fc> whether he signed for support of this boy? —Mrs. M. G., Buffalo, N. Y. A. As to the non-support •■harge, that is a legal question, so consult your attorney. If you pean, did the father provide an allotment for the boy or list him as a dependent, write to office of •"e Adjutant General, care Allot- w.»nt Section, War Department, Tf'.Yihington 25, D. C.

B., Galax, Va. A. If your son wishes' to help ka your support he has the privi lege of providing family allow* ance from his pay which the government matches.

Could you give me any information on burial expenses, since we plan on having him brought home. Who pays the expenses?—Mrs, A. U. A., Colorado Springs, Colo, A.

I have a son who expected to be discharged from (he army in July. 1 would like to register him in college in Pittsburgh, Pa., for the fall term. To whom should 1 write?—Mrs. J. E. A. You might enroll him in the college, but it would be up to the school authorities, since the boy is not eligible until he is a vet eran and must fill out certain forms as an honorably dis charged veteran to prove his eligibility. Q. 1 was given an honorable discharge from .the WAAC in August, 1943, after serving six months. In March, 1944, I was operated on. Am I entitled to hospitalization and medical ex penses?

Can you tell me when he is eligible for discharge?—Mrs. B. B. M., Her man, Mo. A. If he has 43 points and two years’ service he should be home or on the way by June 30 or sooner. Q. My husband has been in service 22 months and has 40 points. Can you tell me when he can come home? He is at present in Waderslah, Germany. —Mrs. L. H. B., Gretna, Va. A.
