Albemarle is some distance from

Mose of the teachers have been very
busy for the last five days practicing
for the play, “Listen Lady,” which
was given Tuesday evening at the
school auditorium
Last Thursday morning one teacher
was heard to exclaim: “Teachers, get
your money together and let’s go to
the carnival tonight.”
Sure enough when night came they
were seen riding first on the merry
go-round, and next on the merry-mix
up.
Teachers are just humans after all,
and such announcements appeal to
them as much as they do to other
people.
It was no easy task for the teachers
and pupils of Wakelon school to pre
pare an exhibit for the fair; but we
feel that we were well paid for our
efforts, because of the complimentary
remarks made about the different ex
hibits by parents and friends of this
community and places around.
Considering the amount of time
spent, the pupils’ work was very good.

VETERANS STILL
NEEDJED GROSS
Aid to Disabled Men Increases'
at Probtems and Legislation
Bring Complications.
20,000 MEN DIE EACH YEAR
Many Entitled to Benefits Still
Uninformed of Just Claims
to Compensation.
Bight year* after the World, War
anils service to disabled veterans still
i major responsibility of the Amerl
can Red Cross.
This situation Is due to the increas
ing problems Involved and the com
pie* character of veteran legislation
There is also an Increase In numbers
of “death cases” handled, as com
pared with claims for living veterans,
though the work for the latter re
mains heavy. About 20,000 ex-service
men are dying each year, a consider
able percentage of these having serv
ice-connected disabilities.
In a majority of eases, Red Cross
Chapters Dad their assistance Is need
ed In helping dependents present
their claims for dssth eompensatioa.
Insurance payments, bonus, burial al
lowancas, and other government ben
efits due them. An episode of the
past year illustrates the difficulties
frequently encountered by the Red
Cross experts in rendering such as
sistance. A veteran dying from serv
ice-connected disease, was trying from
his bsdslde to sstablish at that lats
tints his claim for Government nld to
his family, and the neceessry proofs
wera in s physician’s records across
the continent from hint. To obtain
the needed affidavits before it was too
late, a cross-continent airplane flight
was necessary, then a Red Cross
Chapter in Penoeyivania hurried the
investigation, sending the paper*
back to the veteran and his Red
Cross hslpers in Oregon, by air mail.
It reached there in time.
Another discovery ih Red Cross as
sistance to veterans and their fami
lies is that many dependents of these
men unquestionably entitled to Gov
ernment aid, hare struggled along.
Ignorant of their rights.
Aproxlmately 2,686 Red Cross Chap
ters carry on Home Service work, iu
assistance to veterans and their dam
ilies. The Chapetrs also conduct
campaign among veterans for rein
statement and conversion of their
term insurance. Among its other du
ties, the Red Cross assumed at tbs
request of the Canadian Government
the administration of a fund allotted i
to the care of Canadian disabled vet
erans living in the United States.
In the United States the Red Cross
assisted an average of about 80,600
disabled veterans and their families
every month in the past fiscal year.
Indicating the size of this undertak
ing, National Headquarters of th#
Red Cross expended $1,641,178.18 on
disabled veterans alone, and $509,-
451.72 on assistance to men on active
duty with the Army, Navy and Marin*
Corps, while Red Cross local Chap
ters expended a total of $1,987,000.
Red Cross assistance to service men j
overshadowed every other phase of j
its program, even its disaster relief, i
until the Florida hurricane.
Help for veterans covers many de
mands, from temporary aid until Gov
ernment claims are adjusted or until
the ex-soldier is properly hospitalized,
to extending capital loans to rehabili
tated veterans endeavoring to become
self-supporting in business. Several
such capital loans were to blind vet
erans.
Contact with veterans in hospitals
is maintained by Red Cross personnel
which doctors agree influences the
veteran’s welfare and improvement.
The Veterans’ Bureau was planned
to carry on social work in Its hospi
tals for mental cases, and in many
cases the Government and the Red
Cross are co-operating for the welfare [
of the men suffering war disabilities.
The public is invited to assist this
work by joining the Red Cross during j
the Annual Roll Coll, November 11 |
to 25.

dom passes without a major calamity j
due to tornado, earthquake, fire or

remained on the job until relief was
completed.
lAst year the Midwest tornado
which struck five states was the out- I
standing relief operation by the Red
