Questions And ANSWERS Q. What happens if a disabled veteran fails in his course while he is being rehabilitated under the Vocational Rehabilitation Act (Public Law 16> ? A. Generally. Veterans Admin istration will take special steps to enter him in another course in which there is every likelihood he will be able to complete suc cessfully. The situation depends on the facts and the circum-1 stances in each case. Q. I am considered totally dis-; receive only 20 percent for com abled for insurance purposes but pensation. Can my award be in creased ? I A. Your compensation will be increased only if the service-con- i nected disability is shown to have increased in severity. For in surance purpose, there may be other disabilities, not service-con nected, which, combined with the compensable condition produce total disability. Facts and ma terial for determining the exist ence of permanent and total dis ability are different in insurance CATHOLIC INFORMATION "No arithmetic?" gasped the boy's father. "Do you expect me to senii my son to a school that eliminates the basic principles of mathematics, a knowledge needed | in every walk of life?" A school with no arithmetic! j What nonsense! Yet is it more1 deplorable than a school that j teaches nothing of God. our first1 beginning and our last end?of' Jesus, our Redeemer and the greatest of all teachers?of the Ten Commandments and the J Sermon on the Mount?of love ofi neighbor for the sake of God?of obedience to our civil rulers be- j cause their power comes from j God? To the Catholic the elimination. of religious teaching is more than deplorable. It is tragic. For rell-; gion is the only solid basis for i morality?religious instruction for' the mind, religious training for, the will. Home teaching or an. hour in Sunday school can hardly i suffice. God and His will must be I an integral part of the child's' daily life. It is because Catholics believe this so firmly, that, while paying their full share of the support of the public schools, they are also buying land, erecting buildings, and educating with their own money more than 2.500,000 pupils, thus saving you and other tax payers more than $250,000,000 annually. And this Catholic edu cation in its academic standing, in its teaching ability, and in its educational results, averages well up to the public school education of today. The United States of America was founded on religious princi ples. All our schools, up to 1840, were essentially religious. George Washington said: "Reason and ex perience forbid us to expect that natural morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles;" and this sentiment has been echoed by nearly every President since. Who, then, can say that the Catholic School, the nursery of Faith and citizenship alike, is un-American ? If it's anything Catholic, ask a Catholic!

What are the conditions of eligibility for rehabilitation un der the Vocational Rehabilitation Act (Public Law 16)? A. A disabled veteran must have had active service on or af-1 ter September 16, 1940 and be fore July 25, 1947, with a dis-j charge under conditions other than dishonorable. He also must have a compensable service-con nected disability incurred in or aggravated by such service. He must be in need of vocational re-| habilitation to overcome the han dicap of his disability. Q. When I was discharged from the Army two years ago, I was advised by Veterans Admin istration to enter job training un der Public Law 16. Due to con-| ditions beyond my control, I was unable to 'enter training at that time. Is it possible for me to enter training now? A. In all probability, you can enter training now, but you should contact your nearest Vet erans Administration office whetfe your first advisement will be re valuated for you. Q.

You have until July 31, 1948, to reinstate without physical examination if you cer tify that your health is as good as when the policy lapsed. You need pay only two monthly pre miums. Q.

Yes, but you will be re quired to pass a physical examin ation. Q. My son was killed in action during World War II, and I would like to know If I am en titled to receive compensation? A. You are entitled to c om pensation, provided dependency can be shown. Dependency will be held to exist if you do not have sufficient income to provide reasonable maintenance for your self and your family. Q. I am taking on-the-job train ing in a hazardous occupation un der the G-I Bill. In case of an accident, will Veterans Adminis tration pay my hospital expenses at a local hospital? A.

Public: Welfare Two of the largest jobs which I your Welfare Department has are the administration of "Old Age Assistance" and "Aid to De- ] pendent Children." These are j 'parts of the Social Security Act (Which are meant to help people' | who can in no way help them- J I selves. Mrs. Allen came to the office | very much upset. Her husband I had just died after having been j sick for over six months. She1 had two small children and was expecting another at any time.! She and her husband hail always j lived on rented land and had been; able to save very little. His long( I illness had taken the small j amount of savings they had been i able to accumulate. What did this woman have which would help her and her small children? Upon her application the Wel fare Department helped her make oift a budget of her needs and any possible income. We asked several of her friends about any possible help she might get from some other source. We learned in this way that her father was In fairly good circumstances. He was unable, however, to take over the financial responsibility of his daughter and her children. We helped her to make arrange ments to live closer to her fam ily where he could give her some physical help, such as cutting wood and helping her with her garden. This was not enough to support the family and the case was tak en to the County Welfare Board. This Board gave Mrs. Allen an aid to dependent children grant alization in a Veterans Adminis tration hospital because of your war service. Q. My son, who is in a Vete rans Administration hospital, is trying to get a pass to visit me. Will Veterans Administration pay for his transportation to and from the hospital? I A. No. All travel while on leave from a Veterans Adminis-j tration hospital is at the ex-i pense of the veteran. Q. Should a claim ever be filed I by a veteran who has been dis honorably discharged? A. It is always the privilege of a veteran to file a claim; but, to show entitlement, it must be established to the satisfaction of the Administrator of Veterans Affairs that the veteran was in sane at the time of commission of the act for which the dishon orable discharge was issued. Q. Do World War II veterans who are entitled to out-patient dental care have the right to se-J lect any dentist they want? A. Where Veterans Adminis tration dental clinic service is not feasibly available, the VA j has adopted the policy that any veteran entitled to out-patient j dental care at the expense of VA may choose any dentist particip-1 ating in the program of dental | care of veterans. Q. If a veteran contracted a disease or was injured in line of' duty while he was in service is j the llne-of-duty determination, asi which would continue until she was able to get a job which would support the family or un til the children became 16 years of age in case her need contin ued to exist. ' Uncle John," an old colored i man, came in at the same time to ask for some help. He was 68 years old and was so crippled with arthritis that he was no i longer able to work. He owned a little house and 6 acres of land, but he was physically unable to work it himself and had been un able to find anyone to work it foR him. His wife was dead and his two children had long ago left home and he had heard noth ing from them in years. Prices are high and "Uncle John" had no income with which to meet his needs. We made the same type . of investigation of his needs as we did for Mrs. Al len. We found that he had no resources except some chickens and a small garden. This case was also discussed by the County Welfare Board. They gave him an old age assistance grant which would help him buy the necessi ties of life. These are two cases which show in a very real way what is done with the part of your tax j money which goes into old age | assistance and aid to dependent | children grants. You are truly helping those who cannot help themselves.

A. No. However, the record of the Service Departments general ly will be accepted in determin ing line-of-duty status of dis eases and injuries, unless con siderations and legal presump tions of the various laws war rant a different finding.

Department of Agriculture' WASHINGTON?(AP) ? The Secretary of Agriculture has ask ed for 20 million gardens in 1948 to help make it possible to ship more food to the distressed areas' abroad. Now that garden plan ning and seed ordering time is here, what should our gardens be like in town and city? The garden first of all should I be large enough to produce an adequate supply of fresh vege tables from early spring until early winter. Many town and city gardens are entirely too small, and the few carrots, green onions, lettuce and radishes they produce, while enjoyable, do not contribute much in providing sufficient quan-1 tities of health protecting food. About one-third of our non-farm gardens are only 500 square feet in size. They ought to be at least 1,000 or 1,500 square feet. Freedom gardeners?and maybe one-fourth of these will be no-j I Vices-should not try to grow the; kinds of vegetables that require i large amounts of space. Sweet i corn, pole beans, squash and peas are out for them. The first choice of vegetables should include as many as pos sible of the green and leafy vege j tables, yellow kinds and tomatoes. (These are vitamin suppliers and health protectors. Included should | be lettuce, chard, collards, kale, Chinese cabbage, broccoli and cab bage. Then green and yellow snap beans and, of course, yellow turn ips, carrots and lots of tomatoes. I Chinese cabbage, kale, cabbage, j collards, endives will produce ) greens late in the summer and , early fall. A good garden starts with a I good plan before seeds are order-1 ed. This plan plainly marks each row of vegetables, the distance between rows and the crops to follow as each row is harvested. Too many gardeners make only one planting. Then the garden produces little in summer and fall. Surely, we want early rad ishes, green onions and lettuce. But a well planned garden pro vides for succession sowings and plantings, especially of kinds that do not require the entire growing season. Thus plantings of snap beans, beets, carrots, should be made so that some of these can be enjoy ed all season and provide some for winter storage. When one crop is maturing another should be coming along. No part of the garden should be bare of growing vegetables. The garden planner also selects varieties which vary in the time it takes to maturity thereby extending the season. Thus, a gardener having early leaf lettuce like Grand Rapids i should also have Slobolt, which does not go to seed so soon and thereby extends the season. Good planning also takes in account the quantity of any one kind a family can consume before this kind becomes over mature. So a ten-foot row of radishes, for ex ample is sown every week, say, for three weeks in early spring) instead of one 40-foot row. The same holds true for lettuce. All these things hold true also for farm and suburban gardens. Many of these gardens do not supply sufficient amounts of veg etables for fresh use, storage, freezing or canning. Nor do many of our farm and suburban gar deners realize the advantage lar ger garden space gives them in growing a wide variety of vege tables. They should try to grow j more kinds, thereby getting new taste thrills and extending the| garden season. Besides they can j produce much more for winter use. During the war, our Victory i gardeners canned about 3,500,000,- j 000 quarts of food. Their gardens produced about 8,000,000 tons, 401 per cent of our fresh vegetables. J Now our Freedom gardeners, can! do as well. Thereby they will re-' lease other foods for shipment I abroad. They won't eat so much | bread and breadstuffs. They will j save money, and set a better! table. Local information on the "hoW| to do it" side of home gardening] can be had from your county j agricultural agent, or from your j State Agricultural Extension Ser-1 vice at your State agricultural j college. General information mayi be had by writing the Office of Information, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington 25, D. C. Read The Want Ads Red Cross Aids In Locating Kin WASHINGTON?
