Parents of those who died in
service or later from service causes
and now have income insufficient
to provide reasonable maintenance
should contact the Veterans Ad
ministration for possible entitle
ment to benefits, Nash D. McKee
of Raleigh, Department Adjutant
of the North Carolina American
Legion, said.
The state American Legion offi
cial says that they have encounter
ed several instances of ignorance of
available benefits on the part of
dependent parents of those who
died in military service or died
of conditions due to their service,
There are now elderly parents of
men who lost their liveg in World
War II who have clearly met. all
eligibility requirements for com
pensation as dependent parents
and might have had the benefit for
the last several years, the Legion
official said.
Sohie parents applied for com
pensation soon after World War
II and had claims denied by the
VA because they w®tg not then
dependent and in need of the bene
fit. In later years their financial
circumstances may have worsened
and they may now qualify.
To parents who had sons or
daughters who died in service dr
later of service causes, the Ameri
can Legion stressed the following
points:
1. A claim may be reopened with
new evidence although it was de
nied earlier.
2. A parent need not have been
receiving aid fro^ the deceased
..sfetVice member ISKdre he died.
I Each case is Jqdged on its own
fherlts. Dependency exists when
items of income, expenses and es
tate sum up to a condition of need
for the compensation. Present cir
cumstances are to be considered
rather than circumstances years
ago.
4. Information and assistance
may be obtained at all VA offices,
county Veterans Service offices.
North Carolina Veterans Commis
sion offices and from local Ameri
can Legion posts.

■ SPRUCE up FOR SPRING—
Grandmother’s method of cleaning
“with a whisk of a broom and a
feather duster” is passe for the
Homemaker of 1958. Home econo
mists working at the consumer level
throughout the U. S. will be de
luged with questions in months to
follow on “sprucing up” techniques
that will spell economy of the home
makers’ time, energy, and money.
There is no doubt that the super
market, with its innumerable na
tionally advertised cleaning aids,
will be another of the homemakers’
headquarters for help.
Home economists say about
spring cleaning that cleaning fab
rics takes the number one spot in
making ready for spring. Asked
what they consider the four major
tasks of spring cleaning, home econ-
Umists commented most-frequently
on the household furnishings made
of fibre, such as rugs, carpets, bed
ding, blankets, upholstery, slipcov
ers; and, of course, organizing
spring and summer clothes in
drawers and closets and preparing
winter clothes for, storage,
Cleaning windows, floors, and

as the other major tasks in spring

nets, furniture, cellar, attic, ga
rage, porch, screens, lawn furni
ture, china, blinds, ceilings, storm
windows, painting and papering
and general redecorating.
evenly over garment but be par
ticularly careful to spray along
seams, in all cUffs, undar collars,
and around hems. Use spray for
both garments "which are to be
hung in closets or stored in chests,
drawers, etc. Use aerosol sprays to
spray the air in clothes closets,
cedar closets where garments are
to be hung and stored. Spray suf
ficiently to leave a cloud or fog.
Hang moth cakes and crystals
high in clothes closet or garment
,bags and the heavier-than-air
fumes emanating from them will
spill downward as they evaporate.
Scatter crystals, moth balls, etc.,
among clothes as they are stored
in chests, drawers, boxes, or trunks.
PREPARATION OF WOOLENS
FOR STORAGE—With the change
of seasons, and before storing, all
woolen clothing should either be
freshly laundered, thoroughly-
brushed, and/or dry-cleaned. When
brushing, make sure that all cuffs
of sleeves and trousers, pleats,
hems, and pockets are lint free.
