More Korean Vets .O’ _e dinon: ot Have a insurance i Nine Times as Many Pol * ides Now In Force Than Year Ago Nearly nine times as many veterans ndW have the special post-Korea GI term life insurance policy as had it a year ago, Veterans Administration reports. In April, 1952, only 2,265 of these policies were in force with a value of A year later, or on April 30, 1965, the number of policies in force had increased to 19,006 and the amount to $157,988,000. These policies are the 6-year non convertible, non-participating term life insurance for which eligible post- Korea veterans must apply to VA within 120 days of their discharge or separation from service. Post-Korea veterans eligible to ap ply to VA for this insurance are those with service in the U. S. armed forces anywhere in the world since June 27, 1950, the start of the Korean hostili ties, who were ordered to active ser vice for a period in excess of 30 days and who were entitled to the free in demnity protection of the law. These policies may be renewed every live years at the premium rate for the then-attained age. They may not be converted to any other type of GI life insurance, nor are they 'entitled to dividends under the law. But the pre mium cost for most ages is the low est of all other types of GI life insur ance administered by VA. Post-Korea veterans who. apply for this insurance within the fixed 120 days of their discharge or separation do not require a medical examination.

Often he knows nothing to do but .try to replant and make a partial crop. Just what should a farmer do when his tobacco is ripped and torn by hail? rfoy Bennett, S N. Hawks, Jr., and Harold Nau, tobacco specialists for , the N. C. State College Agricultural Extension Service, offer these sugges tions: | 1. If severe hail strikes young to bacco before it is not positively too late to plant over, and there are suf ; ficient good plants available, serious consideration should be given to re listing and setting over. If the hail ’ is moderate and the ground is not too 1 badly packed, young tobacco will come ' out-and make a fair to average crop. Where the stalks are not broken and not over two to four leaves are dam ■ aged, these early set plants will usu ally recover and result in- a better crop than late replants. 2. Many times hail will strike when four to six leaves toward the bottom of the plant are spread out 1 sufficiently to be broken and badly 1 damaged. Frequently only the larger 1 leaves on one side of the plant are se verely damaged. Frequently only the ' larger leaves on one side of the plant | 1 are severely damaged. Under these ' conditions good results have been ob tained by encouraging a sucker to fill ' in the vacant space on the stalk. One 1 or more such suckers can be topped 1 at about two, four or six leaves, de -1 pending on how much open space is to 1 be filled in and the number of other 1 leaves on the stalk. Do not be in a hurry to remove broken leaves or stubs or prime the plant up too closely. Tests and .ex periments have shown that excessive * pruning will likely slow down or stunt 1 growth. We suggest that the grower ■ remove only loose or broken pieces of leaves which cover or interfere with the growth of the sucker which is to i be “turned out.” 3. If a severe hail storm hits to ! bacco (after it is too late to plant 1 over) and the stalks are broken off or : the leaves are stripped off, it will . usually pay to cut the stalks off at a SEE US FOR YOUR PAINT NEEDS , We Carry a Full Line of , GLIDDEN PAINTS .

Where the stalks are cut off it will generally be necessary to culti vate once or twice to reduce competi tion from grasses and weeds. A very wide sweep, run shallow, is suggested. If heavy, leaching rains have fallen the equivalent of 50 to 100 pounds of 8-0-24 should be applied as a top dressing, especially on light sandy soils. Sometimes when a severe hail storm hits a crop late—after it has been jprimd once or twice, there may be nothing to do but plow the field and plant some catch crop. Weekly Devotional I Column By James Mackenzie * When Lou Little was football coach at Georgetown University in Wash ington, there was on the squad a young man who trained faithfully, but , could never seem to qualify for the first team. Often he would be seen , walking near the football field with I his father—behavior considered “sis sified” for a football player. One day, we are told, Little receiv ed word that the lad’s father had died. The youth went home for the funeral, but managed to return in time for the Saturday game. “Will you grant my father’s last wish,” he . asked the coach, “that I start in to day’s game against Fordham?” “You may start,” replied Little, , “but I shall have to take you out after the (first two or three plays. This is , our big game.” The boy was not taken out. In stead, he played brilliantly, Went the ■ distance, and was instrumental in win ning the game. Later, in the shower room, Little asked him why he had played as he had never played befre. “Most people didn’t know my father RIO POWER MOWERS I SALES AND SERVICE | I Also Repairs and Service on I I All Makes of Mowers I Chowan Farmers Exchange, Inc. | I NORTH BROAD STREET PHONE 346 I If go ftr, • Fifty Yurt Ford’s high-compression Strato- MHe Anwrtan Rotd y <jgL - Star V-8 is frie only V-8 in the tuMuslP' building more V-B’s than all other makers combined.

God’s Word tells us that the born again believer is Ushered immediately into heaven at death; indeed, into the very presence of Jesus (see, for ex ample, Luke 16:22, 23:43, Philippians 1:23). And well could the great hymn writer, Fannie Crosby, who had been blind since birth, boast “The very first ( sight I shall ever behold will be the : face of my beloved Saviour”; and tri umphantly could she sing: Then I shall see Him face to face, And tell the story, saved by grace. Moreover, it Is uniformly the teach ing of the Scriptures that the believer is conscious in heaven, and aware of what is going on down here below. Especially may we who believe in Jesus rest assured that some day we shall be reunited with our departed Christian loved ones, never to be tom asunder from them again. And in this connection, I like these words of Spur geon: “When I was a boy, I thought of heaven as a shining city, with vast walls and domes and spires, and no body in it but a few white, unfriend ly angels, who were total strangers to me. Then my little brother died, and I thought of it as a big city with walls and buildings, and a flock of cold, un-' known angels, and one scared little fellow whom I knew.

Cotton diseases in the United States last year caused an estimated loss of nearly two million bales—worth about S4OO million. More than 13.7 per cent of the total crop was lost to diseases. These are .the estimates of the Cot ton Disease Council after a survey of 14 major cotton producing states. California estimates are not included in this tabulation.
