EDITOR’S NOTE: This newspaper
through special arrangement with the
Washington Bureau oi Western Newspaper
Union at 1616 Eve Street, N. W^ Wash
ington, D. C., is cble to bring readers this
weekly column on problems of the veteran
and serviceman and his family. Questions
may be addressed to the above Bureau
and they will be answered in a subsequent
column. No replies can be made direct by
mail, but only in the column which will
appear in thii newspaper regularly.
Disability Rate Change
Because of the much greater per
centage of survival from gun
shot wounds of the brain, chest and
abdomen in this war than in World
War I and because of new disabili
ties incident to service in the trop
ics, the Veterans administration has
adopted a new rating schedule in
determining the degree of disability
suffered by veterans of this war.
The schedule, which has been in
preparation for two years, replaces
and liberalizes many provisions of
one prepared in 1933 and lists, for
example, 176 separate disabilities of
bones, joints and muscles with nu
merous gradations within each, as
compared to 126 listings in the pre
vious schedule.
Special attention has been given
in the new service-connected dis
ability ratings to scars resulting
from explosions, oil burns and the
residuals from frozen or immersion
foot. A number of tropical diseases
have been listed as cause for dis
ability with special ratings adapted
for each, although only malaria
and Hiariasis have been encountered
among discharged veterans.
Changes in the medical concept
of the relationship of specific dis
eases to other conditions and to thei:
service connection are also reflected
in the new schedule. This has re
sulted in the inclusion of many new
disabilities, some of which are
rated as high as 100 per cent on a
temporary basis where they are
not expected to produce more than
a 10 per cent permanent disability.
All changes are designed to facili
tate more accurate and more equita
ble ratings for the various types of
disabilities.
In using the new rating schedule,
however, the basic policy of the Vet
erans administration remains un
changed and the veteran is allowed
the benefit of the doubt as between
the higher of two ratings, in deter
mining whether or not a disability
is service-connected.
Questions and Answers
Q. How does the death rate of
wounded soldiers in the present war
compare with that of the First
World war?
A. According to the war department
announcement June 1, the death rate
of our wounded soldiers in this war
is 8 per cent. The death rate of
wounded soldiers, who lived long
enough to reach surgery in the First
World war was 24 per cent.
Q. Would transfer to a different
outfit overseas account for the de
motion of a corporal to a private?
A. The war department says that
a soldier could be demoted, without
prejudice, to the grade of private if
he was transferred into an organiza
tion where there was no vacancy in
his grade.
Q. Is a former member of the Sea-
bees, who participated in the action
at Vella Lavella entitled to a star?
A. One star has been authorized to
be worn on the Asiatic - Pacific area
service ribbon for participation in
one or more of the following actions:
Vella Gulf action, August 6 and 7,
1943; Vella Lavella occupation, Au
gust 15 - October 16, 1943, and
action off Vella Lavella October
6-7, 1943.
Q. How soon after filing applica
tion for a pension can the widow of
a war veteran expect payment?
A. There would be no way of tell
ing the exact time which would
elapse, but the pension would be
retroactive from the date of appli
cation.
Q. Would you advise dropping
government insurance policy?
A. Most service officers believe it
advisable not to drop government in
surance, especially if you have a
service disability and likely will not
be able to pass a physical examina
tion for private insurance. A ma
jority of veterans are converting
their government insurance into 20-
payment or other form of private
life insurance. At least, the veteran
should permit his insurance to
run its present term until he has a
chance to analy.-e las ability to keep
up an insurance schedule of pay
ments. We suggest that you con
sult your local draft board, veterans
administration or your private in
surance company.
Q. Can a veteran of either this
war or tue First World war enter a
hospital in another state to take a I-
vantage of a better climate, or must
he remain in the hospital within the
state in which he lives?
A. According to the Veterans ad
ministration, it is possible in some
cases to be transferred to a hos
pital outside his state. His transpor
tation would not be paid for unless
the physician in charge ordered
such a transfer. You should refer
the matter to the regional office of
the Veterans administration which
rated you and is handling your case.

Clerk—Do you wish something?
Mrs. Twitchell—Don’t tell him!
Elmer — Not a chance, honey;

Mrs. Twitchell — Don’t tell him,

Elmer — You want us to let you

of peace, reconverted to the pre
war manner) — If you don’t see
what you want ask for it! We aim
to please! A satisfied customer is a
solid foundation for business suc

Mrs. Twitchell — Quick, Elmer,

When Company Comes
High Degree of Ingenuity
Is Essential to Success
A low-point roast made with frank
furters and bread stuffing can be
nice enough to serve Ipr company.
Fried apple rings make a pretty and
delicious garnish for this crown
roast.
Have you ever in a moment of
social graciousness invited someone
to drop in for din
ner and then dis
covered that the
ration books can
not offer much
help? This hap
pens to all of us
these days, but
there are ways
and means to
skirt around this
situation.
Did you know that a roast can be
made from a few frankfurters and
that it can taste as good and look
as luscious as a prewar steak? Or,
if the sugar bowl is bare, syrup
can sweeten the cake and syrup can
make an icing that stands in frothy
peaks?
Don’t let strict rationing keep you
from being generous about inviting
people over. Its more necessary
now than ever when travel is curbed
and we must seek “homey” enter
tainment.
And remember, too, there are no
curbs on the niceties of serving.
Good linens, shining silverware,
sparkling glassware and attractive
china will dress a table beautifully.
A bowl of garden-fresh flowers or
an arrangement of your own or
chard’s fruits can add personality
touches even to simoie dirmers.

If Recipe Doesn’t Fit the Fam
ily: If you run across recipes that
are too large for the family, let
the following hints be your guide:
One-fourth to one-third pound of-
lean meat is a good proportion to
use for one serving. When buy
ing a roast, plan to serve it for
several meals.
One-half to two-thirds of a cup
of vegetables are good guides to
vegetable serving.
Don’t try to divide eggs in
small recipes. Too much egg is
better than not enough and more
than the recipe calls for will have
little effect on the result, but
will add more nourishment.
When making half a muffin
recipe, fill empty tins with water
to protect the cups.
Cake and cookie recipes should
not be divided. Both keep well
for several days to a week, and
a larger quantity can be made
safely.
Crushed peanut brittle and syrnp
provide all the sweetening neces
sary for this lovely glamour cake.
Sngarless frosting also made with-
ont sngar stands in high, beautiful
peaks and stays soft.
These individual beef loaves are
extended with bread crumbs but
none of the precious meat flavor
need be sacrificed when a seasoning
of rich beef broth is used to high
light the meaty flavor.

JUDAH’S CONCERN
FOR HIS FAMILY
| LESSON TEXT—Genesis 44:18-34.
GOLDEN TEXT—How shall I go up to
my father, anti the lad be not with me?—
Genesis 44:34.
The family is the fundamental
unit of Society, and is therefore of
I more importance than the church,
i the state, or the social order of
which it is a vital part. Every force
which encourages the breakdown of
the sacred relationships of the home
and family is set for the destruction
of society itself.
Men have too often chosen to go
the way of the flesh, and therefore
they have disregarded God’s plan
and purpose. But the home is just
as sacred as ever in His sight, and
brotherly love still finds a high
place among the virtues of real
men.
The family comes before us as we
continue the study of Joseph’s life.
As we study it we bear in mind Jo
seph’s dealings with his brethren,
who as yet did not recognize him as
the one they had sold into captivity.
He was bringing them kindly but
definitely to the point of real repent
ance, so that he could show himself
gracious to them.
To do so he had brought disaster
upon them. Being happily on their
way homeward with a new supply
of food, they were overtaken and
proved to be thieves, and Benjamin,
i the beloved of their father Jacob,
stood condemned to death by their
, own words.
In that crisis the mouths of the
others seemed closed, but Judah,
j who had really saved Joseph’s life
(Gen. 37:26, 27), and who had appar
ently finally come to himself as a
man of essential goodness, pleaded
for Benjamin’s life.
| That plea presented a truly sac
rificial brotherly love, as he mani
fested
I. Courage (v. 18).
Easy rests the yoke of family life
as long as all is joyful and pros
perous. But when adversity strikes,
when sorrow comes, or sickness, or
sin, then the true test of devotion is
at hand.
It was a brave and manly thing
[ for Judah to stand before the one
whom he knew only as the man who
was “even as Pharaoh.” The cir-
! cumstances were all against him.
He expected the flaming anger of
the offended ruler. His brethren had
collapsed in despair. It w?'S one of
those dark hours which come to
every family when someone must
demonstrate true love by being
strong-hearted and fearless.
II. Intelligence (vv. 19-29).
We have become so accustomed
to accomplishing things by the use
of words that we are in danger of
substituting speech for action. Even
in times of sorrow or need we send
a well-worded card or telegram, and
regard our mission as accom
plished.
Words have their place, but there
comes a time when they must be
coupled with intelligent action.
Crises call for more than a cheerful
smile or an encouraging word, much
as they may mean in such an
hour. We must be prepared by our
close contact with our loved ones to
speak and act with vigor and as
surance.
III. Self-denial (w. 30-33).
One step deeper goes the devotion
of this man to his father and his
brother. He had done no wrong that
merited punishment, but evidently
his brother Benjamin had been
guilty. Had he been of the spirit of
Cain he would have said, “Am I my
brother’s keeper?” and let him an
swer for himself. Why should Judah
suffer for another? Why should he
allow himself to be imprisoned in
a strange land to save his father
from sorrow and his brother from
what seemed to be the just reward
for his deeds?
Thus reasons the man of the
world, but such is not the language
of the true brother. He says, “Let
thy servant abide instead of the
| lad as a bondman.” Well and cour
ageously spoken!
IV. Love (v. 34).
Love for father and brother under
lies all of the courage, conviction
| and self-sacrifice of a man like
1 Judah. In his younger years, and
possibly under the influence of his
| brothers, he had failed in that re
spect, but now his real devotion to
his brother was evident.
That affection was a real, power
ful and beautiful thing, and yet it is
but a faint prefiguring of the affec
tion of the One who “sticketh closer
than a brother,” who “though he
was rich, yet for your sakes he be
came poor, that ye through his pov
erty might be rich” (Prov. 18:24,
II Cor. 8:9).
Let us improve the opportunity to
review our relations with our own
family, to determine whether there
is aught that we in intelligent and
courageous self-sacrifice should do
for our own. Concern for family
will pay rich dividends, especially
in these days of broken homes and
disturbed personal relationsnips.
Love will do more than anything
else to hold us together.#
