VA Receives Carload
Of Mail Daily From Vets
A total of 2,100,000 veterans of
World War II are now making pre
mium payments on National Serv
ice Life insurance by direct mail to
*he Veterans administration.
This total does not include premi
urns paid by deductions from benefit
payments.
A total of 897,214 letters concern
ing insurance were received by the
VA through February and March
covering all categories of questions
such as refunds, conversions, re
instatements and status of accounts
and of this number the V during
the 8 weeks, answered a total of
783,055 of these letters. Because of
this tremendous volume of mail
there were some 266,000 letters un
answered and because so many
thousands of the letters are not
accompanied by proper identifica
tion, it has been imp ssible to
post accounts currently.
Questions and Answers
Q. I was inducted into the army
in 1942 and was discharged 2 months
<ind 12 days later on a disability
discharge. I have tried to get com
pensation, but the VA claims it
has been delayed because of insuf
ficient records. I then filed a claim
for such to clear my records. In
1539, prior to my induction I had in
ternal hemorrhages from both kid
neys, but I was passed as physical
ly fit in 1941 by army doctors. On
entering service my kidneys were
weakened more by hurting them
again for which I was discharged.
Now the question is, am I entitled to
this compensation? I signed up on
the 14th of January and have been
out of work 3 months.—J. D. €.,
Superior, Wis.
A. Cannot tell from your letter
whether you are attempting to get
a disability pension or unemploy
ment compensation. From the facts
given, you may be entitled to disa
bility compensation and your only re
course is to apply again or take an
appeal. As for readjustment allow
ance, are you able to work? The
laws says you must be able to work
and available for suitable work;
that you must not have left suitable
wo r k voluntarily and without good
cause and you must have applied
for suitable work. Suggest you ask
the USES office for all details.
Q. How old will they take a man
in the occupation army? A man in
service 10 months, how can he draw
this $20 per week?—J. D., Corydon,
Ind.
A. Enlistment age limits are 17
through 34. If you are unemployed
and were discharged under condi
tions other than dishonorable you
can apply for unemployment com
pensation at your nearest office of
U. S. Employment service and you
may obtain up to $20 per week, for
not more than 52 weeks under cer
tain conditions.
Q. 1 was discharged from ASF
regional hospital. Ft. McClellan,
Ala., November 6, 1945, with a dis
ability discharge o' account of back
trouble and 1 want to know if I
can get into the merchant marines.
Was only in the army two months
and the disability was not from
service.—C. V. R., Charlottesville,
Va.
A. Suggest your best answer can
be obtained by applying to the near
est merchant marines recruiting of
fice and see if they will take you.
Q. I am a veteran of World War
I in service six months, not over
seas. Just ready to go when Armis
tice was signed. Could I get hos
pital service free? Also do all war
veterans get a pension after they are
60 or 65 years old?—F. S., Peca-
tonica. 111.
A. You probably are eligible for
hospital service free if you are un
able to pay for it. World War I
veterans obtained a bonus. There
is no pension.
Q. My son will be in the navy
two years in June. He is a store
keeper 3/c and was overseas 19
months. Could you tell me when
he will be eligible for discharge?—
Mrs. B. R., Milton, Pa.
A. Ordinarily he likely would be
eligible to apply for discharge by
June 30. However, he may be held
up for a short time since storekeep
ers and some other classifications
rate a higher point score.
Q. My husband has an honorable
discharge since Decembar 7, 1945.
How does the G.I. Bill work? We
would like to have $2,000. How much
interest does it take and how do
we pay it back? We are planning
to build a home, since they are hard
to rent.—A Good Reader, Union, Mo.
A. Would suggest your husband
go to a bank or other lending in
stitution which makes G.I. loans
and they will give him all details and
inform him as to his eligibility since
in the final analysis, the bank must
approve the loan. The loan rarries
4 per cent interest.
Fetching Home Wild Bacon
Arizona’s Popular Sport
TUCSON, ARIZ.—Many of Arizona’s hunters had a big season
hunting wild pigs during the winter months just past, for the sea
son was extended to 59 days by the state game and fish commis
sion, the reason being that the javelina or peccary have been in
creasing rapidly in the last few years.
The Arizona species of the ani-^-* —
mal is one of two varieties of pig
like animals ranging from Arizona
and Texas to Paraguay. Some are
slightly grizzled and have an in
distinct white collar and are often
called the collared peccary. The
Arizona wildhog is often called the
“couchajavalin.” They are noctur
nal and gregarious, says tiie diction
ary.
But it’s a great sport in these
parts, where the javelina is well
scattered. They are found in rock
country on the edge of the desert
around Tucson, and in mountain
canyons which abound here. The
animals usually run in small packs,
are considered big game in this
state, and as such may not be hunt
ed with dogs.
May Use Bow and Arrow.
The law specifies that the limit is
one animal of either sex per hunt
er for the season, and must be
taken by a rifle fired from the shoul
der and propelling a center-fire
cartridge, or by bow and arrow pro
vided the bow used has a pull of
50 pounds or more and the arrow is
broadhead of one inch or more in
width.
All of which regulations hunters
are glad to adhere to so they can
be sure of carrying their animals
home to-the range — cooking range
—for the wild pig is mighty fine
eatin’, mighty fine!” say Arizonans,
including the Indian and Mexican
hunters.
Half-Billion Acres
Of U.S. Land Held
By the Government
TAMED . . . Here is a coucha
javalin from the wilds of Mexico.
This wild boar was tamed by L.
C. James of Tucson and adopted
as a pet. Henrietta Lamepra is
shown holding it at the Bis
marck hotel in Tucson.
Thickest Head
Wins Contest
FITCHBURG, MASS—It seems,
said the Fitchburg police, that a
gentleman from Ashby and a boil
ermaker—not otherwise identified
—engaged in a dispute over the
relative thickness of their respec
tive skulls.
To settle the dispute, police
added, they withdrew to opposite
ends of a 30-foot room, then ran
toward each other, crashing head-
on. It was sensational.
Apparently the Ashby man lost,
for he required five stitches in his
scalp. But he left the hospital
after a few hours under his own
power.
And that’s what hard-headed
citizens do when they meet in a
tavern.
By WALTER A. SHEAD
WNU Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. — The United
States chamber of commerce is
polling its member chambers
throughout the nation on the report
of its natural resources department
committee seeking amendments to
the laws governing control of al
most a half billion acres of public
lands.
The federal government now owns
approximately a quarter of the land
area of continental United States.
This huge acreage of public lands
is controlled by the general land of
fice of the department of interior.
It is in two classes, 80 per cent be
ing so-called public land, or public
domain, and the balance is
“acquired” land, purchased by, or
deeded to the federal government
from citizens, states or municipali
ties.
There are 157,618,000 acres in na
tional forests; 140,798,000 acres in
grazing districts; 55,249,000 acres in
Indian reservations; 13,585,000
acres in national parks; 7,481,000
acres in soil conservation; 1,326,000
acres are owned by the navy de
partment, 19,355,000 by the war de
partment and 2,760,000 by the fish
and wildlife service.
According to the chamber, there
have been repeated complaints con
cerning excessive withdrawals of
these lands, unnecessary acquisi
tions, over-regulation, particularly
on grazing and mineral rights.
Some of the amendments to public
land laws which the U. S. chamber
recommends is public l/ctrAngs and
adequate notice before further land
is withdrawn and a time limit on
temporary withdrawals;
That private ownership should be
the ultimate objective of grazing
lands subject to sound principles of
conservation and protection of pub
lic interests, including reservation of
rights to minerals and metals,
timber, water resources develop
ment and other potentialities not in
volving grazing, these grazing rights
should be protected and preserved;
That the mineral leasing act of
1920 be further amended to remove
all acreage limitations, or at least
to grant expansion and to remove
the limit to acreage held on a geo
logical structure;
That royalty on all government
leases be fixed at 12Vfe per cent for
leases heretofore and hereafter is
sued that are not on proven oil or
gas structure; that to encourage
exploration and development of
deeper pools, a 12% per cent roy
alty for all deeper discoveries in
presently proven fields, the same to
apply to all leases in new zones;
That the government either take
the royalty in kind for sale or ac
cept the market price of the royalty
oil, gas or gasoline;
That the law grant the free right
of assignment and relinquishment of
government oil and gas leases with
proper safeguards;
That all lands of the United States
be registered with the interior de
partment ;
That surplus property act be
amended to require disposal of all
acquired lands not nece sary and
useful for a clearly defined govern
mental purpose.
In addition the committee recom
mends that the congress give the
states statutory recognition to own
ership and disposition of the shores
and all lands beneath the tidewaters
and other navigable waters within
the boundaries of each state.

Glad He's Not Too Spry
PLACERVILLE, CALIF.—In his
younger days, C. W. Donaldson of
Bear Creek might have covered that
last four feet in time—to be killed!
Donaldson had brought home 30
sticks of powder to use in his min
ing operations and had left them in
the back seat of his sedan. The next
morning he performed his usual
ablutions and face barbering when
he noted smoke curling from the
back of his car
Four feet short of the car with a
bucket of water and the powder went
off, knocking him unconscious and
shattering the car.
It is thought that the sun shining
through the glass had exploded the
dynamite.
Donaldson received a black eye,
a few cuts — and a demolished
automobile. His reflection is that
dynamite and mules have been con.
sidered unpredictable.
Doubt and faith—both seem to
come to the hearts and minds of
men. Yet they are directly contra
dictory to one another and cannot
exist together. To believe is to
drive out doubt, and when doubt
comes in, faith loses its grip.
Thomas, and his experience fol
lowing the resurrection of our Lord,
presents a lesson on what a man
can do to meet honest doubt and
how such £ man can come out into
the sunshine of faith.
We find in Thomas, first, an ex
pression of
I. Fearless Loyalty (John 11:7, 8,
16).
Unafraid of the threats of men,
Jesus was about to go once more
into Judea. On his last two visits
there, the Jews had sought to kill
him, namely, at the feast of taber
nacles (John 8:59) and at the feast
of dedication (John 10:31).
He was not one to draw back for
the fear of men when the Father’s
will led him forward ?n his service
to humanity. Lazarus was dead,
and Mary and Martha needed him
and he was going to them.
Then came a fine expression of
the loyalty of Thomas. If his Lord
was going to face death, he was will
ing to go along and die with him.
Let us recognize that here was a
man of real courage, willing to show
his loyalty even by giving his life.
There is something fine about
that attitude, and something which
shows us that when this man later
expressed doubt, it was not the
silly and shallow unbelief of a
trifler. This man loved the Lord and
served him, and yet he failed him.
When we think we are strong, we
had better watch out lest we fail.
Let us be clear and triumphant in
our declaration of loyalty to Christ,
both by word and by life. And then
let us set a double guard against
the enemy of our souls.
Thomas next appears in
II. Faithless Failure (John 16:24,
25).
He had been willing to die for his
Lord, or with him, but now the Lord
had been taken by wicked hands and
crucified. He and the disciples
were alone to face a hostile world;
at least so it seemed to them.
The awful day of crucifixion
preyed heavily upon the mind oi
Thomas. That is evident from verse
25. He had been thinking of those
awful bleeding wounds, and had for
gotten about the promises of resur
rection.
Jesus died, and that is a precious
truth; but one must not stop there,
for a dead Saviour is no Saviour
at all. Thomas got sidetracked in
his thinking. Let us not make the
same mistake.
Another reason for his failure
was that he did not go to the meet
ing of his brethren. Perhaps he
did not feel like going, and did not
think it was any use to go. Ah,
but that’s just the time one needs
the fellowship of other believers. Go,
and you will meet the Lord!
The Lord was there and Thomas
missed him. We, too, will miss the
Lord and his blessing if we stay
away from his house and the meet
ing of his people.
Having gone thus far in discour
aged unbelief, it was easy for
Thomas to take the next step and
demand physical proof of the resur
rection. His despondency had now
reached the place of making unrea
sonable demands and of discredit
ing the witness of others.
We are glad that we can close
our study on the note of renewed
faith and of
III. Full Confession (John 16:26-
29).
Note that the Lord was ready
fully to meet the demands of Thom
as, even though they were on the
unreasonable side. That was un
doubtedly because he knew the es
sential fineness and trueness of
Thomas.
His doubts were unfortunate and
entirely unnecessary, but they were
genuine. No real doubter will ever
remain one long, for if he brings a
genuine doubt to the Lord, he will
find it fully met. It is the triflers,
those who use their doubts to hide
their sins, and those who are un
willing to bring their dark thoughts
into the light of the presence of
Jesus, who go on doubting year aft
er year.
Notice the comment of Jesus fol
lowing the glad and complete con
fession of faith by Thomas. It is a
good thing to believe because one
has seen and been convinced. That
is proper and blessed.
But the real fullness of blessing
comes to the one who can rise to
faith in Christ because of his word,
quite apart from the visible or tan
gible evidence. This is real Chris
tian faith which declares Christ to
be our Lord and our God, the one
whom having not seen, we love (I
Pet. 1:8).
Designed for Coolness—Molded Fruit Salad
(See Recipes Below)
Cool Topics
If OT Mr. Sun is getting hotter
every day and you have a problem
trying to keep
the family feeling
cool, then feed
them cool, delec
table things that
will take their
minds off the
weather. Inci
dentally, by feed
ing them cool things, you’ll be keep
ing cool yourself if you learn how
to prepare dishes that don’t take
heat for cookery.
First of all, select foods that will
cook in a minimum of time. Sec
ondly, do your cooking in the cool
morning hours so that the kitchen
is not heated at the last minute.
Rely heavily upon the refrigerator
and learn to use it to the fullest ex
tent.
Serve salad plates on the hottest
evenings, and don’t limit the meal
to one salad. You can prepare a
meat salad, vegetable and fruit sal-
nd and serve each in a dainty cup
of lettuce as your main course. Top
this off with cake or pie prepared
earlier in the day, or, if you wisn
precede the meal w ; th a hot cup of
bouillon that takes just a few min
utes to heat.
Here is a selection of meat salad
recipes from which to choose for
the main part of the meal. Leftover
meat is fine to use, or if desired,
coid cuts may be subsituted. Be
sure to chill the ingredients, bowl
and salad platters so that the salad
will be served as cool as possible.

LYNN SAYS
Keep Them Tasty: Every home
maker who wants to be known
for her salads will plan to keep
plenty of salad ingredients on
hand. These include canned
fruits and vegetables; canned
meats such as chicken, pork and
ham loaf, flaked fish, shrimp,
salmon, crabmeat, lobster and
tuna. An assortment of cheese is
excellent, as are bottled salad
dressings.
Many green salads and dress
ings gain distinction with the ad
dition of some herbs. Chervil,
thyme, basil and tarragon are
fine for a beginning. Use- rose
mary, balm, etc., in fruit sal
ads
