Derrill Smith WHOLESALE GROCER 910 Main St. Newberry, S. C. With all the many new benefits now available to veterans, the pro gram of medical administered by the Veterans Administration still remains the most important of ali —the most necessary t c the well be ing of the men who served theii country in time of war. All over America, all through the southeast, new hospitals and addi tions to old hospitals are going up to better serve the veteran. New doctors, distinguished consultants in every field of medicine, are lend ing their services to VA. Medical care offered by VA falls into two general categories: hospi talization and out-patient care. Out patient care is offered only to vet erans wih service-connected ail ments—those who suffered physi cal disibalities while in the armed services. Hospitalization is available to all qualified veterans. The following questions are some of those most frequently asked about VA’s hospi talization program: Q. What is the sole qualification as to whether a veteran is basically entitled to hospitalization in a "Vet erans Administration hospital ? A. The veteran must have a dis charge, under conditions which would not be considered dishonorable, from his last period of war service. Q. Once basic eligibility has been established, what factors govern priorities for admission when hos pitals are crowded ? A. Emergency cases are taken care of first of all. No emergency is ever turned away from a Veter ans Administration hospital. Next come men with service-connected dis abilities, and last those with non service connected ailments which do not require emergency care. Q. How does a veteran apply foi hospitalization in an emergency? A. In an emergency, application should be made by the veteran him self, his wife, relative 0 r friends, oi by his physician. If by telephone, it is advisable that the doctor make the call. Q. How does a veteran apply for admission where there is no emer gency involved ? A. He should visit the nearest contact office or regional office or hospital and secure a form P-10. If no office is nearby, he may write the nearest office and have the form mailed to him. It is advisable to have his own physician assist him in filling out form P-10. The form should be returned to the contact office, regional office, or hospital. The veteran will be notified when a bed is available at a hospital near his home. Q. If the veteran finds it im possible to report to the hospital on the date for which he is scheduled for admission, is is application can celled ? A. No. The veteran is a liberty to request a change for any reason- aide cause. Q. Must a veteran with a non- service connected disibility sign a pauper’s oath in order to be admit ted to a Veteran’s Hospital? A. Definitely not. The law pro vides that VA hospitalization shall be available to any veteran who is unable to defray the expenses of private hospitalization. The veter an is required to sign a statement to this effect in accordance with the law, but it is in no sense a pauper’s oath. Q. Are members of the various women’s branches of the armed for ces eligible for medical care? A. Yes. Many VA hospitals have Wage Wisdom LLa By GEORGE S.BENSON ^Ipl ip - ftecidsnt of Harding College Searcy. Arkansas jitlMiw ngg -- WAGES rose and prices fell dur ing the ten years just before World War II when working men were able, through collective bar gaining, to influence the opera tions of private enterprise with out political interference. Work ers earned more dollars per work ing day and each dollar took on more buying power as time went on. It was a two-way improve ment. . “The actual buying power of one hour’s work (straight time) rose at the rate of more than 47> each year, or over 40% for the entire ten-year period,” - says Labor's Monthly Survey, issued in May by the American Federation of Labor. “This was possible be cause production per man-hour increased steadily, creating the wealth to pay higher wages.” Changed SO LONG as men. Economy money and machinery were busy making . things to eat, wear and use for better living, it turned out as planned; better living resulted. But when capital, labor and tools, by necessity, had to swing into the manufacture of munitions and instruments of destruction, better livipg ceased. Wages increased, to be sure. So did profits. But what could we buy? Once more let the AFL survey answer: “Every hard-won nickle of wage gain was offset by a price rise which cancelled it and workers’ actual buying power per hour of work, as measured by real wage rates, did not increase at all.” These statements are supported by government figures made available through the de partment of Labor. Moreover the AFL analyst’s logic is per fectly sound. Improve THE BULLETIN con- Output tained no carping against government, nor against the artificial re straints it set up to keep a fictiti ous economy from getting out of control. On the other hand it says plainly that under whole some business conditions “wage increases are paid for by rising productivity.” Thus with mass production and volume sales “the wage rises are all clear gain.” "Our first task is to increase production of consumer goods so that supply will be enough to meet demand, and competition again will keep prices down, so that increasing productivity will create the income to pay further wage increases.” Anything I might say about that doctrine would be simply gilding the lily. It is the plain truth and a credit to any philosophy. The government’s new artificial wage controls create higher wages with one hand and snatch them away with the other in the form of higher prices. Private enterprise needs freedom if it is to operate by the law of supply and demand, and in some fields, supply will meet demand much sooner if regulations are lifted. The opa has done some good work and well deserves a dignified fu neral, soon. Late Blight Epidemic Of Tomatoes In State Clemosn, June 17.—Late blight of tomatoes is epidemic in many areas, W. C. Nettles, Clemson extension en tomologist, said here today. Weather factors have been, no doubt, important in the outbreak and with hot dry weather, it is hoped the disease will ease up. However, there are other diseases which are normal ly present in the Clemson area which have responded to copper ap plications in the past 2 years, such as early blight which is usually pre sent and somewhat damaging. The disease has been an important factor in Florida and Mr. Nettles thinks’ the matter is summed up best in the following paragraph which he quotes from the Plant Disease Re porter: “Dithane-Zinc-Lime spray and Cop- per-A spray and dust (6 percent me tallic copper) have been used exten sively in the three counties to pre vent and retard the spread of the late blight organism. Although fun gicidal applications have not been regarded as satisfactory, they have proved profitable. Growers who have maintained a regular spray or dust schedule have not been able to keep the foliage free from infection, but have been able to keep the fruits re latively free and in satisfactory con dition for green shipment. Foliage re duction, however, has tended to limit plant growth and indirectly to reduce yield regardless of the best spray and dusting efforts. Late blight also has been prevalent on garden plots and fields of tomatoes in the Ever glades. A few growers have been successful in controlling the disease with the Dithane-Zinc-Lime spray.” Observation with reference to weather effects or effects of spray material being used in various parts of the state should be reported to Mr. Netties. facilities for women patients. The VA also has contract arrangements with private hospitals for caring for female veterans. In the case of emergency cases among former WACS, WAVES, SPARS or femin ine Marines, the VA will authorize admission a t Government expense to the closest private hospital if no VA hospital or contract hospital is near by. If possible, prior authorization should be secured from the nearest VA office and in any case, the VA should be notified within a day af ter a female veteran has been ad mitted as an emergency case to a private hospital. For n on-emergency cases, female veterans should fill out a form P-10 exactly as male veterans. Veterans wishing additional infor mation on hospitalization, apply to the local Contact Office at 1113 Boyce street, Newberry. Damage To Squares By Weevil Heavy Clemson, June 17.—The boll weev il situation in the state is changing from a potential threat to actual damage of the squares, according to M. B. Stevenson, Clemson assistant extensior. entomologist. Some of the oldest cotton is put ting on squares at a rapid rate and it is in these fields that the weevils are doing most damage. Half-grown grubs have been oberved in punctur ed squares, and that means we have not only to fight the weevils which are coming from favorable hibernat ing quarters, but also those that are hatching out of the punctured squares. Should unfavorable weather con tinue, the boll weevil is in a position to cause serious loss to this year’s crop So Mr. Stevenson urges cot ton growers to make adequate pre parations to combat this pest. “Use whatever materials are available, but if you have waited this long to make your purchase, you will find all ma terials short,” he says. This word to those growers who plan to use calcium arsenate dust: There is practically no nicotine on the market so your applications of calcium arsenate should be limited to two or three because additional applications might cause a serious build-up of aphids. Watch your percentage infestation and delay in dusting as long as practical. In general some weevils can be found in all cotton fields in this state. For the weekend ending June 15 the highest count of weevils per acre was 1838; and the highest per centage of squares punctured was 48 percent. [. MRS. ADDIE A. CARNELIUS Mrs. Addie Albriton.
