Mar 8-pd World War One Pension Plan New In Effect Both children and widows of de ceased veterans of World War I may apply for pension benefits now, according to Dr. O. G. Davis, Lester Blackwell Post service chairman, who said today that the Veterans Administration under laws recently adopted by Congress can issue pen sion benefits to such survivors al though the veterans may come to their deaths from diseases or ac cidents not at all connected with military service. Applications for such pensions may be made to the Veterans Ad ministration to Dr. Davis. The measure has been passed after a twenty-year fight for it by the Leg ion. according to Dr. Davis. Bene fits may in the future be applicable to veterans of World War II dying under the same conditions, but Dr. Davis has as yet received no inform ation on that point. Minimum payments to widows be gin at $35 per ditional for the first 'child, $lO for I the second and $5 for each addition lal child. Orphans of veterans (those with both parents dead) are en titled to receive $35 each per . month under tne plan. Up to this ! time there has been no provision ifor pensions for survivors of World War I unless the veterans concern ]cd came to their deaths from the effects or the after effects of wounds j or diseases acquired in military ser -1 vice, chiefly in combat duty. \ Lester Blackwell Post, with Ned | Dillard as Commander, will meet | this Saturday night at the Legion ] hut in its regular March session. o ■ : Slightly More (Continued from page 1) sonally her son’s boost for the Red I Cross, made an additional financial contribution to the Red Cross while she was here.

No official reports have yet been received from the public ; schools division or from the resi dence division, or from theatre sources, according to Mr. Woods. As a further indication of condi tions here as contrasted with those in France, Lt. Humphries adds in his letter that he is thankful each day he lives that the “United States has had to go through' the wreck age I have already seen. Food, too, is very scarce here (in France)”, he says. 0 - ; : Mrs. Allen (continued from page one) ered her resignation, same to take effect the 15th of this month. While the board of directors feel that it has been from no lack oi effort on their part to remedy this situation as to nurses, as all of sim ilar institutions arc likewise short of nurses, they realize that the de mands have been heavy, and they ] reluctantly accepted Mrs. Allen's resignation, and at a meeting of a special committee appointed Allyn Norton to succeed Mrs. Allen as manager of the hospital. Mr. Nor ton, while not a native of the Coun ty, he is no stranger, as he is the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. I. G Stephens. Mr. Norton, who came to Roxboro ; from Washington,'was with the U. S. Army in this war and is histor ian of Lewell T. Huff Post, the Vet erans of Foreign Wars, Roxboro. He has'had Army training in medical and hospital work and 'was recent ly for a time in Greenville, S. C., with a hospital there as manager. He will assume his duties with Com munity hospital here Immediately upon the retirement of Mrs. Allen. While all hospitals have been hav ing an uphill road to travel,^, the 1 Community Hospital has probably stemmed the tide with just about as good a record as the majority, land the directors feel thi^ f the people of this good County’ may i well rest assured that it will con tinue to serve them and give them the very best service possible under these trying circumstances and that all of our Doctors, and Dr. Fitzger ald. the capable surgeon, will .give their hearty cooperation and make every effort to see that the hospital continues the splendid work it has accomplished in the past.
