Beiii fi—
RALEIGH-Tar Hed veterans
nd their families need only to
aee their local Veterans Service
Officer for assistance in obtain
ing their rightful Federal or
State veterans benefits, Secre
tary John A. Lang, Jr., N. C.
Department of Military and
Veterans' Affairs, announced
Friday.
By Federal estimation, North
Carolina in proportion to other
states has a high percentage of
veterans living in the state.
Veterans comprise approxim
ately 10 per cent of the state's
population, and when their
families and the dependents of
our deceased veterans are in
cluded, they account for about
50 per cent of the population.
Secretary Lang, in comment
ing about the monetary benefits
received by veterans and their
dependents in North Carolina,
said that during the month of
August 1972, 137-076 veterans
and dependents received almost
13.5 million dollars from the
U. S. Veterans Administration
in disability compensation, pen
sion, and death benefits.
Lang added, "Most of these
veterans and dependents were
assisted ki obtaining these bene
fits through North Carolina'i
joint county-state veterans ser
vice program.
Mr. Charles A. Beddingfield,
a 27-year veterans service em
ployee, is now Director of the
Office of Veterans Affairs suc
ceeding Collin McKinne who
was appointed Deputy Secretary
of the N. C. Department of
Military and Veterans' Affairs.
Secretary Lang said the func
tion of the state Office of
Veterans Affairs- which was
placed under his department by
state government reorganization
—is to assist veterans and their
families in the presentation,
processing, proof, and estab
lishment of claims, privileges,
rights, and benefits to which
they may be entitled under
federal, state, or local laws.

In addition to rendering ad
vice and assistance to veterana
and dependents, the Office of
Veterans Affaire also adminis
ters a program on state scholar
ships for the eligible children
of certain deceased or disabled
veterans. The scholarships are
available to the children fo
Veterans of World Wars I and
11, Korea, Vietnam, and certain
other hostile or warlike inci
dents. At the present time
more than 400 children receive
four-year college scholarships ,
annually. Currently, there are
about 1200 recipients attending
college under the scholarship
program valued at approxim
ately 1.3 million dollars.
The State veterans service
program, which originated in
1925, is financed entirely by
state funds. Through succeed
ing sessions of the General
Assembly, the agency has
evolved to its present day status.
It does not receive any funds
from the Federal government
which makes it fully independ
ent and accords the agency
complete freedom in obtaining
those benefits due a veteran
or his dependent by the Federal
government.

drama.
Larson, who was born in
Raleigh and now resides in
Durham, served as a member
of the Peace Corps in Kenya,
East Africa as an agricultural
extension agent. This assign
ment led Larson to an interest
in the revolution in Kenya in
1956, and this knowledge
sparked the idea for "General
Blood."
The playwright received a
Bachelor of Arts degree from
East Carolina University in
1967. He also has earned two
Master of Arts degrees: one in
history from E.C.U. and an
other in drama from the Uni-
cff North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. Larson is currently
completing three new plays
which he began at U.N.C.
About "General Blood,"
Larson says, 'The play con
cerns a struggle for independ
ence by people who are de
prived of their human rights."
Larson, in writing the play,
utilized elements of African
ritual combined with parts of
the actual Mau Mau oath-taking
ceremony. "I felt that these
images would make an exciting
vehicle for a play," he says.
Norma Sutton Brown, a
member of Central's theatre
faculty, is well qualified to
handle the challenge of the
large production. She received
a Master of Arts in drama from
UNC, and she has studied thea
tre at the Berghoff-Hagan Stu
dio in New York. Her laak of
