Yets Problems1 Q.?Is it advisable fur a veteran to seek the assistance oi' an at torney in filling out hi., claim J or disability pension? A.?Engaging an attorney for such purpose is of little value. Vet erans Administration representa tives will assist the veteran in til ing claims and are more familiar with the procedure than the aver age lawyer. Both VA per.>onnel and accredited representative.* of various service organizations pro A-rrvice free of charge. Q. ?Would it be possible to eon vert $2,000 of my National Service Life Insurance to 20-year endow ment and the other $8,000 to or dinary life? A.?Yes?if your insurance is not in a premium-waiver status. You are permitted to convert to one or more of the permanent NSLI plans whether you are pay ing premiums or the premiums are waived for total disability, but en dowment plans cannot be included as one of the choices if premiums are being waived. Q.?I am a disabled veteran in training under the vocational re habilitation act, and I receive more than $200 from wages, plus my pension and subsistance .al lowance. Does the new law limit ing married veterans in training to $200 a month mean that my allow ance will be cut? -A.?No. The new ceiling on trainees' income applies only to veterans enrolled under public law 346, commonly called the G.I. bill. Disabled veterans enrolled under the vocational rehabilitation act are not affected. Q.?I am frequently away from home for several weeks or even months at a time. Is it possible for me to arrange to have. another person pay my premiums for me? A. Yes. II you wish the other person to receive premium notices, you must submit a written au thorization to that effect to the Veterans administration. Q.?Is a lending agency permit ted to limit the length of time which a veteran has to pay back a home loan guaranteed under the G.I. bill? A. Yes. The Veterans adminis tration will guarantee a home loan up to 25 years, but if the lender feels that individual circumstances makes a 25-year loan financially unwise, he may refuse to make the loan except for a shorter term. Q.?If a disability exists prior to enlistment, is a compensation payable for increase in severity occurring during such enlistment? A.?Existing legislation pro vides for compensation on account of disabilities either incurred or aggravated during service. Q.-?Whal benefit does a veteran I get from having the Veterans ad- | ministration guarantee a loan? A.?A guarantee by the Veter ans administration means that the ; credit of the U. S. Government j stands behind the guaranteed part? of the loan. The security a veteran ! can offer a lender is increased by i the amount of the guarantee.

STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: How dose .>nould corn leit in t.e drill'.' ANSWER: Well, that ;ill depends ?on l.;e v. .d*h : -v.*. : exam ple, j*.d how rnuoh plant food has been applied, and tile moisture holding capacity of tne >oii. The other day Frank and Dwight Bryan of Gi.rner in Wake county were to gome visitors. The crop had re ceived 1,000 pounds of fertilizer per acre and was making about 100 bushels in the best spots. "Gee. I'm glad we were so busy we couldn't get in here with a hoe." Dwight said. "Here are two stalks in the same hill and both stalks have two ears. If I had come in here with a hoe. I would have cut out one of those stalks. And here's two more ears I would have lost over here, and two more over there. Lack of hoe help made us money." QUESTION: What is a good grazing crop for poultry? ANSWER: Prof. Roy Dearstyne at State College suggests the seed ing of rye grass and crimson clover as early as possible for late fall and early spring grazing. He says that this grazing will cut the feed bill by 10 to 15 per cent. While the feed situation is easing up a bit, still it's good practice to put in a grazing crop for poultry, accord ing to Prof. Dearstyne. He points out that a good, thick sod on clean land is also a good safety factor from a health standpoint. Deceased Veterans' Dependents Are Eligible For Benefits Thousands of survivors of World I War II veterans not otherwise cov ered by the law will be eligible for old-age and survivors insurance benefits under an amendment to the Social Security Act. it was an nounced today by D. W. Lambert, manager of the Asheville office of the Social Security Administration. The veteran must have been in active military or naval service on or after September 16, 1940. He ncjust have had at least 90 days of service, or, if less, such service must have been terminated as a result of service-incurred or serv ice-aggravated disability. The law applies only to veterans who die or have died within three years after their discharge and who were discharged within four years and one day after the termination of the war as determined by Presi dential proclamation or resolution of Congress. The law does not apply to vet erans who died while in service. Nor does it apply to those who were dishonorably di.-charged. If survivors have been awarded or are receiving compensation or pension (compensation or pension does not include National Service Life Insurance) by the Veterans Administration, they are not eligi ble for oene 1 its under this provi sion of the Social Security Act. Payment o? benefits is not au tomatic. A claim must be filed at the nearest Social Security Ad ministration field office. Survivors of veterans of World War II who have died since being discharged should call or write the Social Se curity field office in Asheville, and furnish a copy of discharge papers immediately. According to census reports, North Carolina farmers purchased $7,732,000 worth of feeds in 1939 and $35,753,000 in 1944. Director I. O. Schaub of State College says that this is dangerous business. /it tin' Spotlii/ht ?: * ?* MAXIM LITVINOFF EDITORS: Here or* the latest p'r'jrei Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India Congress Party president, who was named to head India's first popular Executive Council, and Maxim Litvin >ff, who was "released" from his post as Vice Commissar of Foreign Affairs for the Soviets.

Here are a few excerpts i.'om :.er latest letter tu the folks back here. "TVci.iy we boarded the Govern- , ment s Alaska railroad train and ^tuii.ed on our way to Fairbanks j ?.o attend the 4-H Uni\'ersity week j which is open to 4-H leaders, club | members -smU statf. Joining the group from An- j chorage were two members from Homer, 27 from Seward and 17 from Palmer. With two carloads \ of GI re-enlistees on their way to Ladd Field at Fairbanks, the con ductor had quite a problem on his hands finding room for alii of us and making us comfortable. The hotel keeper at Curry where we spent the night, also had trou ble. His usual train crowd is 35 and this time he had 195. The 4-Hers were put downstairs in the "Dormitory," nice rooms with 4 double decker beds in each room. The guests were fed in shifts, our group had to get up and eat at 5.45 and be on our way again at 8 o'clock. It was a long slow trip but the scenery and the wild flowers were so pretty we didn't mind going slow. We crossed mountains, riv ei.->. some lakes, and even flat marshy country. The noon stop for dinne: was at McKinley Park, I where the railroad owns a lovely hotel. It is now almost mid-night and II am writing this in my room with out a light and outside my win dow I can hear a robin singing and also a golden-crown sparrow. Here at the university we live in one of the dormitories, with the boys in the basement. It is a little hot with the heat on, but we can't open our windows as the mosqui toes are terrific. .v e have an interesting group ^eie at th s meeting. It really sur piises me the effort and expense some of them make to be able to attend. The ones from Homer paid about $100, and the ones from Skagway had to go up into Canada and back down to Fairbanks, and spent two nights on the way. They were far enough north to see the midnight sun. I envy them that. We also have a group of little Indian 4-H club members who came from Fort Youkon by plane. The sun is just now going down in the north, there's a beautiful sunset, and up above the sky is streaked with lights that look like the Northern lights. We will not get to see the midnight sun as we Attention!

The glow is now shifting from north-west! to north-east, from sunset to sun- j rise, without a break. The two days are really joining hands across the northern sky. After church Sunday morning 1 we went to Ladd Field, nea^ Fair- j banks, where we had dinner in one \ of the GI mess halls, and then a trip over the entire base.

The children named it the "4H j Cache, because a cache is typical ? of the northern country. It is the] old time way of storing food up j here. We made one trip to the famous Gold Creek mine and saw a gold dredge at work. This mine has yielded millions in gold and is still J jgoing strong. Now after two weeks at 4-H camps I am about all in but the hardest part of the year's work is over, for in the winter with its long nights, very little can be done. The summer is now at its peak, so fall and winter are not far away. The weather is ideal now, rarely gets up to 80, and it has been un usual with so little rain. Building Fund Report Made By American Legion Finance officer, Dexter Hooper, of the William E. Dillard Post 104 of the American Legion has an nounced that net proceeds from the Tuesday night square dances held at the community house now total $1133.10.
