Treasurer Give your Home a Spring Beauty Treatment ... inside & out PARR IN CHARGE OF AI BREEDING PROGRAM C. B. Parr, Jr., breeding tech nician, has been placed in charge of the breeding program of the 'Newberry Cooperative breeding association, which has completed its organization and is now ready to breed dairy cows. Breeding of dairy cattle is available to all owners of milk cows, both grade and registered, in Newberry County. Mr. Parr will be available for work on all week days and the first and third Sundays of each month. The necessary procedure for this breeding service is as fol ios: fasten the cow to be bred in a stall or stanchion and leave her there until the technician arrives. Have someone present to identify the cow to be bred. Call the county agent’s office, phone 248, and report the breed desired, either guernsey or jer sey. All cows to be bred should be reported daily before 10:30 a. m. County Agent P. B. Ezell stresses the fact that the $5.00 service fee is small enough to enable cow owners and moder ate sized herd owners to breed artificially cheaper than they could feed a bull, without re gard to the purchase price of a well-bred herd sire. The association executive com mittee, composed of Claude Sat- terwhite. Furman Epps and Wil liam Senn, invite the public to visit the artificial breeding lab oratory, located in the county agent’s office, any day between 8:00 and 10:30 a m.

Answers to some of the questions more fre quently asked have been ob tained from VA authorities, and are presented in this column by The Sun as a service to our veterans. Q. I was told that my dis ability, which I claim was due to service, cannot be service- connected because I had it be fore I entered service. Am I eligible for compensation? A. If VA decides that your ailment was incurred in or ag gravated by your service in the armed forces you will be en titled to receive compensation or pension, if it exists to a com pensable degree. Q. I am a veteran of World War I and would like to know if there is any limit for filing a claim for compensation for disability caused by my war service? A. There is no time limit set for filing claim for compensa tion under existing legislation, but delay beyond the first year after discharge would preclude retroactive payments to date of discharge. Q. I was practically compelled to sign a statement before my discharge that my disability ex isted prior to my enlistment. Will this prevent my receiving compensation? A. Any statement of this na ture, according to the Service men’s Readjustment Act (G. I. Bill), which you made at dis charge is considered null and void. Decision as to service con nection of the disability will be made by Veterans Administra tion based on the service medi cal record, evidence in file at the time the decision is render ed, and sound and accepted medical principles, excluding the statement made at time of dis charge. (Veterans wishing further in formation about veterans’ bene fits may have their questions answered by writing the near est VA Regional Office.)

By Ted Kesting Fish hooks are not “just hooks.” that hook is your busi ness contact with a fish, and according to Arthur H. Carhart; outdoor writer, you should choose it as carefully as your rod and reel. When a fish strikes, whether the hook sinks and holds, or tears out, or merely rakes, is largely determined by hook de sign. Here are two easy ways to check design. First, hold a hook at a 45- degree angle and parallel to a hard surface, so the eye of the hook rests on the surface at one end. the outer side of the point at the other. When a line is under pulling strain, the force supplied to sink the point of the hook is in the direction of the pulled line. If the point of the hook above lies fairly flat to the surface, the “drive” of the point will be close to the line of traction. That’s what you want in a hook. As a further check, loop a small piece of thread in the eye of a hook and set the hook up as above on a piece of loose ly woven cloth such as a bath towel, or use a soft, thick blot ter. Have the point and eye touching the /surface and the hook upright. A pull on the thread will send the point into the cloth somewhat as it would enter the tissue of a fish’s mouth. As the .point enters, shank leverage and depth of bend will change the direction of the point, and you’ve a rough demonstiation of what happens when a hook is set. Remember that the farther the angle of the point of a hook varies from the direct line of traction, the greater the angle will be from direct thrust as it engages tissue, and the more likely it is that the hook will rake or tear out. It’s like driving a nail into wood. If you hit the nail straight, with the hammer blow in line with it, it sinks more easily. If you hit it at an angle, it doesn’t enter the wood so readily.
