Michael Miller’s part-time work
as a florist while attending New
Bern High is paying dividends as
he furthers his education at East
Carolina. Thanks to his experience,
he had no trouble landing a job at
a Greenville floral shop. More
power to him in earning while
learning.
Ann Chagaris has the distinction
of being assistant house president
for Ragsdale dormitory at Woman’s
College of the University of North
Carolina. Considering the fact that
'there are 160 students housed
there, it’s quite an honor to hold
that office.
Asked what she misses most back
home, Ann didn’t have to think
twice. “Rest,” she told us. All of
the boys and girls attending col
lege from New Bern say the same
thing.
As a member of the Duke Uni
versity band, Walter Dixon has had
some interesting and exciting mo
ments this year. One of the high
lights came when the band went to
Pittsburgh for the Duke-Pitt foot
ball game. “We were taken on a
tour of*the city,” he says, “and a
big reception was held for us.”
Recently, too, Walter was flown
with 19 other members of Duke’s
Navy ROTC to Pensacola for an in-
.spection of that great base. While
there he met Miss Baker, the fam
ous space monkey, and was quite
impressed. She resides in royal
fashion in “Baker Bungalow”
where her flight suit is on display.

Oracut, Mass. — State police
solved a crime before the victims
knew they had been robbed. Troop
ers found two men asleep in a park
ed car and questioned them. They
admitted stealing a safe containing
$100 from a school in the town of
Dracut.
The empty safe was found in a
cemetery, but not until the police
informed the school authorities did
they know the safe was missing.

Fall Better
Than Winter
For Calving
It’s more profitable for a dairy
man to have cows freshened in the I
fall instead of in spring and win-j
ter.
Records show that for cows |
freshened during September, Octo
ber and November, the returns ov
er feed cost is much higher than
those freshened in the spring and
early summer, says R. L. Wynn,
dairy extension specialist, A&T col
lege.
Another factor in favor of the
dairyman who has cows freshened
in the fall is the surplus labor
supply in winter. This contributes
to better care and management of
the milking herd, and the heavy
fall calf crop usually makes better
growth. This is possible because
the calves are kept in the barn
and there is mor^ labor available
to give them a good start in life.

Veterans Urged to Make Sure
Of Beneficiary to Policy
G. I. insurance policyholders,
some six million strong, are urged
by the Veterans Administration to
check their records to be sure that
their designated beneficiaries are
up to date.
The law gives GI policyholders
the right to change their benefici
aries at any time without the con
sent of the prior beneficiaries. But
unless the change is officially
made, no choice is given to the VA
but to pay the claim to the bene
ficiary of record.
Carelessness in designating bene
ficiaries may result in undesired
consequences, the VA pointed out.
An example is the veteran who des
ignated his wife as beneficiary. She
divorced him, and he subsequent
ly married again and raised a fam
ily. Should he neglect to change
his designated beneficiary before
he dies, his insurance may b« paid
to his former wife, and his widow
And children will receive nothing.
Policyholders also ^ave several
different options as to how the in-
surance shall be paid, ^planation
of these options can be obtained by
contacting any VA office.
Congress has liberalized the def
inition of an “adopted child” of a
veteran eligible to receive benefits
administered by the Veterans A(b
ministration.
If at the time of the veteran’s
death, the child was living in the
veteran’s household, and if the
child is legally adopted by the vet
eran’s surviving spouse within two
years after the veteran’s death, he
or she is considered to be the vet
eran’s adopted child, the VA ex-
