his shop, adjoining his home, with
a variety nf power tools, includinf
a drill press, electric hand "-ander,
jointer, grinding wheels, electric
drill, a election of power si.ws
and many other tools.
"As for my techniques in work
ing with power machinery," he said,
"I count my fingers, then put them
in a safe place before turning in
the power."

ing, he spent five months at Erv
manuel Missionary College, Bar
rien Springs. Mich., taking a caoi-net-makmg
course. There, he learn
ed to operate power tools. Finally,
he obtained a G.I. loan and started
his own business.
Veterans, like Bowers, may ob
tain guaranteed and insured loans
for businesses under terms of the
G.I. Bill if they served in the armed
forces at any time between Sept.
1G. 1940 and July 25, 1947, and
were discharged under conditions
other than dishonorable after at
least 90 days active service.
The 90-day minimum Is waived
for veterans discharged for sorvic
connected disabilities.
A veteran makes his own ar
rangements for the loan through
usual iinancin.'i channels. Veterans
Administration then guarantees the
lender against loss up to 50 per
cent of the loan, with a maximum
guarantee of $4,000 on real estate
loans and $2,000 on non-real estate
loans. VA, however, does not lend
money to the veteran.
By the end of January, 1949, a
total of 103,117 World War II vet
erans had obtained G.I. business
loans.
The above story of Veteran Bow
ers is the story behind the Ameri
can Legion, and it is why that
every veteran of the World Wars
should be members of our Ameri
can Legion Post. Have you jninec ?

Singing Holidays
Lesson for August 14, 1949
IF A CITIZEN of the U.S.A. ob
served all the holidays that are
officially counted as legal, some
where in his. wide country, he would
have 43 days off
every year. Holi
days are a national
habit in all coun
tries. Not content
with what the law
gives us, we take
our personal vaca
tions besides. But
how many holidays
do we sing about?
(One might even
Dr. Foreman
dare to ask, how
many are worth singing about?)
In the United States, there are
known to this writer no New Year
songs, none for Decoration day or
Labor day, none for Armistice day,
none for the various birthdays cel
ebrated hither and yon. (Who ever
heard of a song to commemorate
Thomas Jefferson?) We may not
even sing on our personal vacations,
we are too busy working up a sun
tan. On the other hand, we could
hardly think of Independence day,
Thanksgiving, Christmas and East
er without being reminded of the
songs that go with them The Star
Spangled Banner or America the
Beautiful for the Fourth of July,
Now Thank We All Our God in No
vember, and all the Christmas and
Easter carols.
.
God and'Tountry
IT looks as if some kinds of holi
days produce songs and others
don't. It appears to be a general
rule: If the holiday is specially
patriotic or religious, then people
sing; otherwise they don't. God
and country, in short, arouse emo
tion and enthusiasm which (for ex
ample) the memory even of a great
man like Jefferson, or the planting
of a tree, does not. This Is generally
true throughout the world. It was
true in ancient Israel, for many of
the Psalms are holiday hymns, fes
tival songs, Some years ago a re
ligious denomination Issued a new
hymn book. One minister roundly
denounced the book because it had
introduced a few patriotic hymns.
"My Country, 'tis of Thee" has no
place In public worship, he said.
If that man had been a clos
er student of the Psalms, he
would not have made such a
criticism. Most patriotle hymns
are really prayers lor one s
native land; Psalms 105 and 106
are only two of a number of
Psalms which are In the best
sense of the word patriotic
If the reader will look through
the Psalms for himself, noting all
the references to God and to Israel,
remembering that Israel was the
name of the poet's country, he will
be convinced that in those times
as in these, love for God and love
for country are singable.
Hallelujah
OUR word "Hallelujah" Is He
brew, and comes from the
Psalms. It means "Praise ye the
Lord!" Incidentially, it Is a relig
ious word, and should not be used,
as it so often is, irreverently or
liahtlv. Psalms 111-118 in our
Bible were sung as a group, and
called the Hallel, or the Praise.
The Hallel was sung regularly at
the three great holiday festivals:
Passover (near our Easter time),
Pentecost ; (in early summer, ances
tor of our ' Whitsunday), and Taber
nacles (In. the fall).
When ''oar Lord had his "Last
Supper", he and his friends
would sing these very Psalms.
, The "hymn" they sang before,,
they went out was very prob- ,
ably the latter part of -this
group, 116-118, always sung at
the end of the Passover meal.
The note of praise In these
Psalms Is very strong. 1 They are
not In a minor key.
Parodies ' . ' '
A SAC FACT today, is that ths
v un-Chrlstian worlaVj which does
not understand religion Vat all, bas
taken over . our religions holidays
but leaves the religion trot The
result Is a parody, something with
out rhyme or reason. Take a look,
next winter, at Christmas greeting

ty pups, all sorts of things, more
easily than you wQl find true

How To Get Help
When Polio Strikes
1. At the first sign of illnes-.
call your own doctor. If he sus
pects polio he will report the case
to the local Health Department
and arrange for hospitalization or
home care, as indicated. Tie Nat
ional Foundation does not 'elect
physicians or hospitals. This is a
family matter. If you have no fam
ily physician, call your City or
County Medical Society, your Board
of Health or the nearest hospital.
2. If your doctors says it is polio
and requires hospltallial'on. the
local Chapter of the National
Foundation will help arrange for
transportation to a treatment cen
ter. As soon as the patient goes to
the hospital - - or if your doctor
advises the patient can be treated
at home - - get in touch with your
Chapter of the National Founda
tion to a -range for anyneedea as
sistance. Your Chapter will get in
touch with you as soon as it learns
of the case through your physician,
the hospital or the Health Depart
ment. However, late reporting or
a heavy hospital load may delay
this Chapter contact. If you do oot
hear promptly, telephone or visit
your Chapter representative.- You
can ease your own worries sooner
by making the approach yourself.
3. The Chapter representative
will notify the hospital that it is ar
ranging with you for full or part'al
payment of expenses for medica.
care. Adults are as eligible lor help
as children. Discuss with your Chap
ter how much of the full bill the
Chapter will pay.
a.) March of Dimes are used to
help the medically indigent - - but
this is not the same as "indigent "
it includes families of moderate in
come who cannot meet the high
costs of modern care of this ex
pensive disease. The help is a gift
- not a loan. While families that
. an piy are expected to do so, i o
family is expected to impoverish
itself to meet medical expenses of
polio.
b.) Even if you can assume full

costs for initial hospitalization, 't
is a good idea to see your Chapter.
If yours should be a patient who is
severely affected - and this can
not be determined in the first few
days - - you may need help later on.
Bills incurred in the weeks befo c
your Chapter assumes financial re
sponsibility cannot be paid months
afterward, but the Chapter wfll
step in at whatever time you really
need help. Have a frank, friendly
talk with your Chapter representa
tive at the beginning.
4. Chapters pay for hospitaliza
tion, professional services inclu
ding nursing and physical therapy,
transportation to and from hospital,
convalescent centers and clinics,
treatment after hospitalization and
appliances such as wheelchairs,
braces, etc., as needed. There are
no hard or fast rules. Each case is
decided upon individual medical
needs. Assistance is given regard
less of age, race, creed or color.
More than 110,000 polio patients
were directly assisted in full or part
up to the end of 1948.
. 5, In addition, your Chapter can
put you in touch' with proper sour
ces for nursing and physical therapy
at home, can refer you to rehabili
tation and vocational training agen
cies, will provide literature design
ed to foster better understanding
of infantile paralysis - - so you will
(mow what to expect and how to
help your polio patient back to a
useful life.
