I. Bill should make cer tain when their training is com pleted or interrupted, that the Veterans Administration is inform ed of that fact, according to the VA. Otherwise the veteran will receive one or more subsistence checks for a period when he was not actually in training, and the checks will have to be returned. A veteran is not entitled to sub sistence allowances for any month in which he is not training. The veteran, as well as the school or college concerned or the on-job training establishment, should see to it that the VA is notified with cut any delay when a veteran’s training is completed or interrupt ed, the VA said. If a veteran receives a check for payment to which he is not en titled, it should be returned to the S. Treasury Department, rather thaa to the Veterans Administra tion. If the check is not returned, the VA is required to collect the overpayment. Q. Does a veteran have to be honorably discharged to be award ed monetary benefits of VA ? A. Under existing laws, it is not necessary for a veteran to have an honorable discharge to be award ed benefits. However, it is neces sary that he be discharged under conditions other than dishonor able. Q. As a World War II veteran, j will I have to pay a fee to have someone represent me in my claim for benefits for VA? A. If you are represented by an official of an accredited service organisation or the American Red Cross, there is no fee. If you are represented by a lawyer or agent who has been admitted to prac tice before VA, such attorney or agent is permitted to charge 910 in an original claim, or $2 in a claim for increased benefits. Q. May I appear personally be fore the Rating Board in my own behalf ? A. Yes, but you must make a definite appointment to do so and be punctual if the hour of hearing has been designated.

COMPLIMENTS - ^ Piedmont Federal Savings and Loan Association WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA NO ONE WORRIES UOtrr BANK FAILURES No one worries about bank failures any more. That’s because [a New Deal agency protects your bank deposits. It is the Federal 1 Deposit Insurance Corporation j(FDIC). Since 1933 the FDIC, opposed bitterly by bankers and Big Businessmen, has insured 99 per -cent of the total deposits in U. S. banks. "When the Federal Deposit In surance Corp. was established in 1933, the country had just ex perienced the worst financial break-down in its history,” says FDIC Chairman Maple Harl in his annual report April 24. Bank depositors today take for granted the safety of their accounts in insured banks . . , The prseent widespread confidence in banks is eloquent testimony to the effect iveness of the Corporation in achieving its major objectives. . . "The deposits of 13,640 banks and 4,948 branches were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on December 31, 1950. . . . Only four insured banks required the financial assistance of the Corporation during 1950. In all four cases the deposit liabilities were assumed by other insured banks in the same localities, so all depositors were fully protected from loss. “It is estimated that these four banks had about 7,000 depositor* with deposits aggregating: nearly $6 million.*’ BANKS SET RECORD Bank profits last year were the greatest in history. Chair* man Maple Harl of the Fed eral Deposit IHnsurance Cor poration (FDIC) said profits after taxes amounted to $967 million—13 per cent more than in 1949. He said dividend pay ments to stockholders amount • ed to 11.5 per cent — another record. LOCAL LABOR GETS WASHING FROM ST.

JUST A LITTLE It takes so little to make us glad, Just the cheering clasp of a friendly hand; Just a word from one who can understand, And we finish the task we once had planned. And lose the doubt and fear we had, So little it takes to make ns glad. It takes so little to make us sad, Just a slighting word or a doubt ing sneer. Just a scornful smile on soma lips held dear. And our footsteps lag though the . goal seemed near, And we lose the courage and hope wo had. . The 82nd Congress, like the 81st, has nine women members— one in the Senate and eight in the House.
