will help in the cost. North

Dr. Linton said.
Titled “anadramous fish

gram will deal with fish that
travel from salt water to
spawn in fresh water (ana

river herring (alewives and
blucback herring), American

bass and sturgeon.

Recycling Art
Is 66 Years Old
The re-cycling of alumi
num, considered a new en
vironmental art by conserva
tionists, is in reality more
than sixty-six years old. In
dustry has been gathering
and re-cycling the nation’s
waste aluminum since 1904.
In that year, the U. S. Re
duction Company of East
Chicago, Ind., first began to
take the cast-off portion of
aluminum and to melt it down
for re-use in manufacturing.
Today a handful of alumi
num smelting companies sup
ply more than a fifth of the
country’s total aluminum
needs. In 1971, they will sus
tain this flow by re-cycling
a major slice of an estimated
2 billion pounds of new and
old scrap aluminum from the
nation’s growing scrap pile,
equal to mol'e than 14 per
cent of the total scrap gen
erated by the country since
1960.
sible. And, of course, said
Dr. Linton, we need the facts
on foreign high seas fishing
off our coast.
The Fisheries Division has
conducted cooperative ana

This new phase is a continu

research, and has been broad

LIFE STORIES Biography
is one of the very important
categories of books in any li
brary since R not only pro
vides fascinating reading
matter but important insights
into history. Wc buy many
kinds of biographies for the
Pettigrew Region, hoping to
suit the tastes of as many
readers as possible. For in
stance, during the past two
’months we have acquired 25
titles of the biographical clas
sification. j;
Historical Biographies—One •
type of biography which is
always popular is the story
of famous personages from
history. Among our recent
purchases in this type of book
are three biographies of fa
mous women: a queen of Eng.
land whose reign saw the
union of England and Scot
land (Queen Anne by David
Bronte Green), a German
duchess who became tile sis
ter-in-law of France’s Louis
XIV (Letters From Liselottc
by Elisabeth Charlotte Or
leans') and an American girl
whose father was Lincoln’s
Secretary of the Treasury
(Kate Chase For the Defense
by Alicd Hunt Sokoloff). An
account cf the fabled rulers
of the Ismuilitcs can be found
in Willi Frischaucr’s modern
Arabian Nights story, The
Aga Khans. Two new juve
nile books cover groups of
historical characters: a bio-

Ithe fast-approaching 'Bkcn-
Itcnninl (Picture Book of
(Revolutionary War Heroes by
| Leonard E. Fisher) and the
story of the founding of a
famous circus (The Ringling
Brothers by Molly Cone).
Famous writers and artists
make good subjects for bio
graphies and this category is
represented by a juvenile
book called Frederic Reming
ton: Artist on Horseback by
LaYerc Anderson and an
adult selection from the Am
erican Writers scries (John
Steinbeck by Richard O’Con
nor). A different kind of
biography is represented by a
book entitled A Tribute to
. Anne Frank by Anna Stcen
meijer which contains letters
written to Anne Frank’s tattl
er by people who had read
the Diary of Anne Frank.
Current Celebrities—Among
the subjects for stories about
living people arc several from
the world of entertainment:
Veronica Lake, whose peck-a
boo hairdo made her a house
hold word (Veronica by Ver
onica Lake); John Wayne
(Duke: Hie Story of John
Wayne by Mike Tomkles);
Hildegard Neff (The Gift
Horse; Report On a Life by
Hildegard Knef); Eileen Ful
ton, the North Carolina actress
who plays a leading role in a
TV drama (How My World
Turns by Eileen Fulton): and
Sanoru Babb, the wife of the
famous cameraman James
Wong Howe, whose biography
describes life on the plains
, (An Owl on Every Pont by
Sanora Babb). The world of
politics furnishes many sub
jects, too: Ho Chi ,Minh (Ho
by David Halbcrptam), Ed-
I mund S. Muskic (Muskie by
Theo jUppman) and the. Keo
| nedy family (Jacqueline Ken
nedy: The White House Years
by Mary Thayer, Ethel, the
story of Mrs. Robert F. Ken
nedy by Lester David and
Rose; A Biography of Bose
Fitzgerald Kennedy by Gail
Cameron). The world of
spor.ts is depicted in the story
of the late Vince Lombardi
written by Jerry Kramer
(•Lombardi: Winning Is the
Only Thing).

don’t have to own a famous

I’ll tell you about the life
stories of some not-so-fam
iliar people.
As part of a research study
undertaken by NASA - Wal

have been installed on the

The motorcycle is exciting,
and it’s the most "in” thing
today, but it is also extreme
ly dangerous. Experts esti
mate a cyclist has 20 times
the chance of being killed
per vehicle-mile as with an
automobile. The human body
in motion on a cycle is so
vulnerable to serious injury
as one authority sates,
"There are few 'minor’ ac
cidents on motorcycles.” If
your youngster is to drive
or ride a cycle, be sure he
is properly attired, knows,
the rules and the risks, and
is thoroughly trained in safe
handling.

Q. I know n veteran who
served on active duty during
World War I and World War
11. Will a burial allowance
of $250 be paid for each
period of service?
A. No. A single payment,
not to exceed $250, is payable
toward (he veteran’s burial
expenses.
Q. A friend gets maxi
mum disability compensation
from the VA because of war
juries. lie works for the
state at a good salary and
sells insurance at night. A
fellow employee has challeng
ed his entitlement to disab
ility payments. Is he entitled
to them?
A. Yes, if lip is receiving
compensation for a service
connected disability. Outside
income has no bearing what
ever on this type of com
pensation. The law does not
penalize a vpteran whp
through special effort over
comes his handicap. The
fellow employee must have
confused compensation with
pension the latter being
based on permanent and total
disability, but not service
connected. Pension—not com
pensation—is affected by out
side income.
Q. I am a Vietnam veteran
recently discharged due to .a
service - connected disability.
Due to an accident, I am to
tally disabled. Can I apply
for a vA pension?
A. Yes. Veterans of the
Vietnam era with 90 or more
days of service, or those
separated from such service
for a service-connected dis
ability, who bpicome perma
manentty and totally dis
abled from reasons not trace
‘itblc to service, may be elig
ible for VA’s nunscrvicc
conncoted disability pension.
