Thursday, June 10, 1982 Veterans Administration Marks Study The number of female veterans has increased significantly during the past 11 years according to a report prepared by the Veterans Administration. The report stated that while the number of male veterans has declined recently, the female veteran population is growing rapidly. The report is the first in a new series of brief studies being prepared by the VA’s Office of Reports and Satatistics. VA Administrator Robert P. Ninmo said these studies are essential to allowing the VA to address the needs of all veterans. “Effective management of the wide range of VA programs is greatly enhanced when a detailed profile of the veterans population is available,” Nimmo said. According to the study, the number of women on military active duty is also on the rise, indicating a continued increase in female veterans in the coming years. The study found that women who are former members of the U.S. armed forces totaled 742,000 on September 30, 1981, or 2.5 per cent of all living veterans. In the past five years the number of female veterans has increased by 26 Releases Gardening Book Continued From Page 12-A humorous view of the in formation presented.

The ratio of male veterans to female veterans stood at just over 50 to 1 during the first half of the 1970’s but dropped to 39.5 to 1 by the end of September 1981. Other findings include: Age - The median age of female veterans exceeded that of the male coun terparts each year until 1979, after which their relative age pattern has been reversed. The age structures of these two groups is expected to become more and more divergent during the next few years. As of September 1981, the median age for female veterans was 46.2 years compared to 50.3 years for male veterans. Period of Military Service - The distribution of female veterans by period of military service was fairly similar to that of males at the end of 1981. The major difference, and the one which largely explains the variances in the overall age structures of these two subgroups, is that a much greater proportion of women (17 per cent) than of men (4 per cent) had served in the armed forces during the post-Vietnam era only. Expectations for the Future - The number of women in the armed forces will very likely continue to grow by significant num bers, and the female veteran population will maintain a course of steady growth in the future years, Female veterans totaled 742,000 on September 30, 1981, or 2.5 per cent of all living veterans. The study points out that as the number of female veterans grows, an in creasingly vital aspect of the VA’s mission will be the special consideration given to the problems of female veterans with respect to the administration of various types of veterans’ programs, such as medical care, counseling, loan guaranty, and education.

In Memoriam In loving memory of our husband and father, Lloyd Burke, who passed away one year ago, June 6, 1981. Little did we know when dawned that morning, what sorrow the day would bring. The end was sudden, the shock severe, to part with one we loved so dear. He went away without farewell. He said goodbye to none. His loving hands will toil no more, His work on earth was done. We miss him now. Our hearts are sore, as time goes by, we miss him more. His loving smile, his gentle face, no one can fill his vacant place. His Wife, Louise Burke And Children, Lenora Harris Catherine Gallop and William Burke, pd. "Best Legislator” Continued From Page 12-A Senator Helms' rating compares to an overall Senate average of 47.9 per cent, an average Senate Republican score of 70.3 per cent and, an average Senate Democrat score of 22.8 per cent. The ratings were based on votes cast during the past year in Congress on 10 economic, foreign policy, and social issues. Among the issues included were; support for the tax cuts and budget reductions, reduc tion of U.S. financial support for international aid organizations, and reduc tions in the budgets of federally subsidized legal advocacy groups. Commenting on the ratings, ACU Chairman, Rep. Mickey Edwards, (R --OK) said, “Jesse Helms has shown that he has the real interest of taxpaying Americans at heart. His voting record over the last year shows that he is committed to fiscal responsibility, family values in social planning and a strong national defense.” The American Con servative Union is the nation’s largest and oldest conservative lobbying group.
