Here is an important news let ter from the Veterans Administra tion, and we quote: "Veterans as signed "C" (claims) numbers by the VA are urged to memorize them, so they can use the numbers readily when they write or call VA about their benefits. Use of "C" numbers speeds up service to vet erans. A number is issued to each veteran applying for compensation,, pension, schooling, on-the-job train ing or other VA-administered bene fit. The number, appearing on his case folder, will identify him in VA records the rest oi bis life, and may be used by dependents after his death. "C" numbers often are the only means which VA can dis tinguish one veteran from another. With some 24,000,000 veterans' names in VA's files, many names are duplicated thousands of times over. The files contain 217,000 Smiths; 12,500 of them named John! Also on file are 38,500 Adams, 960 of whom are named John Quincy; 7,000 John Browns; 9,000 William Browns; 12,000 Brad leys; and 102 Eisenhowers." So do as you're asked, boys, MEMORIZE THAT C-NUMBER!
