(Continued from page 1) xnony. , Much of the service officer’s time is taken in helping veterans or their families make claims for compemsaton or pensions. Com pensation, explained Mr. Wisie, is paid for a service connected con •dition; pensions are paid to veter ans without service connected dis abilities. Wives, children and par ents who were dependent upon a veteram who was killed in service may also claim compensation. In the case of parents, dependency must be established. If a war veteran becomes perm anently and totally disabled, un able to follow a gainful occupa tion he is entitled to $66.15 a month. On reaching the age of 65, any veteran of any war who has a 10 per cent disability and whose income is less than $2700 if mar ried aaad $1400 if single is entitled to receive $78.75 per month. Mr. Wise says there is an ever-in creasing number of World War I veterans in the latter category. The widow of a World War I veteran, whose income is not in ■excess of $2700 if she has child- rein, of $1400 if there are no child ren, is entitled to $50.40. If there is one child, she receives $63 and $7 .56 for each additional child. Where the mother is deceased and there are children, they are also entitled to pension payments. The widow of a Spanish-Ameri- can war veteran receives $54.18 regardless of income. Spanish war veterans, of whom there are.only three in-the county, receive $101.- 59 a month. Mr. Wise assists veterans in making application for training at schools, colleges and on the job. He secures photostatic copies of the* veterans discharge, mar riage certificate if the veteran is married, birth certificate of chil- ren if any. Before submitting the application in this, as in Other cases, he must determine whether the veterain was honorably dis charged and whether he served during time of war. Many inquiries come ' to Mr. Wise concerning insurance and a number of veterans of the Korean war and those now being released are renewing their insurance, he said. A serviceman is given insur ance free during his period of ser vice, and is insured for 120 days after his release. If he wishes, he may carry the insurance, which is at an exceptionally low rate, but does not p^iy dividends, on a five- year term plan. The insurance may not be converted into a permanent type policy. The veteran may not renew his insuraince after the 120 day period has expired. The • service officer also assists families of servicemen, helping them secure allotments and as sisting them with other problems DISTRICT MEET . . . (Continued from page 1) hostess group. Mrs.. F.

Sept 22: Mrs. Ben Stewart, Good Fishing At Little River From now until Thanksgiving, late summer and early fall fisher men will find this Fisherman’s Paradise” in complete readiness. With Labor day behind them: the Captains of the fleet are already- talking about a banner fall fish ing season at Little River. Followers of deepsea trolling and channel fishing are expected to show up in larger numbers than ever at this resort which is earning the belated reputation for the diversity of fish being caught hereabouts. Ralph H. Ellis, publicity direc tor for the 16 ship fishing fleet operating out of Little River, points out that the boats will continue to sail daily at the tra ditional 8 o’clock hour. He also points out that there was. a time, when the fishing season virtually ended with Labor day, but in re cent years fishing enthusiasts have discovered that cooler wea ther generally means better fish ing. Old timers who have cast their lines in much publicized waters on both coasts contend that for di versity of species, Little River is hard to beat anywhere in this hemisphere. 1 Chanel fishermem bring in trout, croakers, spots, and whiting while deep sea boats frequently return with 800 to 1060 pounds of sea bass, sea bream, pig fish, sailors choice, and other lesser known bottom fish. Trolling boats go af ter the big ones, and bring in lur ing catches of Spanish apd King mackerel, dolphin and iblues, with an occasional barracuda, amber- jack, cobia and sailfish. Information may be obtained on all kinds of fishing by writing to P. O. Box 145, Little River, S. C. Newberry Circuit Services Changed Rev. Clarence B. Word, who formerly served the Methodist Lydia-Sandy Springs circuit in Clinton, has replaced the Rev. R. M. DuBose ae pastor of the New berry Circuit, which includes Bethel, Lebanon, Ebenezer and New Chapel churches in the coun ty. . Tips Given Vets About Schooling Veterans administration today gave three helpful tips to the thousands of veterans planning to start training this fall under the Korean GI bill. First, said Cecil J. King, chief of the vocational rehabilitation and education division at the Col umbia veteran’s' administration regional office, GI application forms Should be filled out fully and completely. An incomplete ap plication can only delay, because veterans administration will have to write to the veteran for the missing information. Second, veterans should be sure they enclose a photostat or certi fied copyj of their service separ ation paper, along with their com pleted application form. Without this paper, veterans administra tion will be unable to act promptly on the application. Third, applications should be sent to the Columbia veterans ad ministration! regional office and not to the veteran's administra tion in Washington. Any applica tions received in Washington mer ely will have to be referred to Columbia— a time-consuming pro cess. Veterans Administration said it expects two-thirds 'of a million veterans to be in training this fall under the Korean GI bill. Rev. Word announces that new hours for Sunday School and church services have been arrang ed as follows: ' Bethel at Silverstreet: Sunday sichool, first and third Sundays at 10:00 a. m., second and fourth Sunday at 11:00 a. m.; church services on second and fourth Sundays at 10:00 a. m.

Because of the constant change in laws and regulations, Mr. Wise must keep well informed on cur rent legislation and regulations of the congress and the Veteran’s Administration in order to advise veterams properly. There are about 5,600 war ser vice veterans in the county, said Mr. Wise. Of that number, an es timated 1000 served in World War I, 3765 in World War II, and the remainder in the Korean War.

Mystery Farm No. 1 was *correc t ly identified by three persons last week as being: the, Aubrey Davis farm on Route 3. Mrs. Davis first correctly identified their farm. Others who called in the right answer were Mrs. George Stone and Tom Clark. The Davis farm is on the Belfast Road, just past Collier Neel’s Dairy near the railroad tracks. Known originally as the O’Neal place, and later as the old Henderson place, the Davises acquir ed the 163 acre farm in 1941. Mr. Davis, who is distributor in the county for Esso company, was married in 1934 to the for mer Miss Lottie Livingston, also of the county. They have two children, Kay, 13, who is in the 8th grade, and Gayle, 10, who is in the 6th grade. The Davises are members of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer and Mr. Davis is a member of the Newberry County Farm Bureau. “I don’t do any farming now except to raise feed for the livestock,” said Mr. Davis, who has 25 white face herefords. The acreage of the arm is devoted to summer and winter grazing and the livestock turned from one field to another for feeding. Mr. Davis plans to continue raising herefords, but has no plans at present for doing any addi tional farming. REMEMBER—There is No Substitute for Insured Savings!
