The lowly postage stamp - - _ I am like most people, I can carry through life only the amount I am worth. The lowly postage stamp - - The busiest time in its life is when it carries the message at < hristmas time in announcing “Christ the Saviour is born”—the good news for all people. The low'ly postage stamp Often times we pool our efforts and thus gathering power we are able to send large boxes containing needs for the missionaries in the far parts of the earth. The lowly postage stamp - - 1 am such a friendly little creature that most people will stop and loan me to another when others in the family are not available for duty. The lowly postage stamp - - I can speed a few words thousands of miles in a matter of hours that will eliminate envy, impatience, resentment, fear and selfishness. The lowly postage stamp - - I cost so little but can carry so much from the soldiers in distant parts that mean so much to Mothers and loved ones. The lowly postage stamp - - I am not prejudiced—I carry as much for the low and high, the rich and poor, and am loved and honored by all, regardless of race, creed or color. The lowly postage stamp - - I get a wonderful thrill when a five-year-old girl places me on her first letter to Grandmother. The little girl holds on to me as if I were some precious jewel. The lowly postage stamp I carry dollar bills from grandparents to little children w’ho have been good in school and make good marks in their school work. The lowly postage stamp - - When my useful days are over in carrying the mail I am sent by thought ful people to the shut-in veterans and others for their collection. I am always useful.

POST-KOREA VETERANS WHO WANT TD CARRY GI LIFE INSURANCE TO 8EPtf.CE tUElR FGE6 INDEMNITY coverage During SERVICE must apply TO VA WITHIN 120 0AY5 OF THEIC DISCHARGE OR OEPARAnON -- Veterans Administration listed some common-sense rules that Ko rean GI Bill veteran-trainees and their schools and establishments can follow, in order to prevent delays in veterans’ monthly GI al lowance checks. They are: First, both veterans and their schools should take a careful sec ond look at the monthly certifica tion of training they are required to send to VA after the end of every month of training completed. They should make sure it has been completely filled out, and signed and dated both by the vet eran and a representative of his school. If VA gets an incomplete i form, it has no choice but to re- ; turn it—causing needless delays, j The law' requires that VA re- : ceive these certifications, proper- j ]y filled out, before a veteran may j be paid his monthly allowance. VA also urged that the certifi- j cations be sent in as soon after j the end of the month as possible, i If a certification arrives too late, j the chances are that the veteran’s ; check will be late. Second, any changes in a vet eran's training status should be reported to VA. Such a change, for example, would ho his drop ping courses so that he changes from a full-time to a part-time student. A veteran’s GI allowance is based, among other things, on the number of hours he spends in training each month. If his class room time is cut down, and VA is not notified, there is a chance he would be paid too much for that month. Once VA learns of the fact, it would have no alternative but to collect the overpayment. Meantime, his checks would be de layed while matters were being straightened out. Third, VA warned it cannot make any allowance payments, un der the law, unless the training program a veteran is taking is the same as has been approved by his State Approving Agency. This provision has been placed in the law for the veteran’s protection against training that does not come up to standard. If there is any change from what has been approved by the State the school or training establishment should lose no time getting in touch wdth the State agency, so that new ap proval may be obtained for the re vised program. her desired. Before the Montreat operators left they gave a lovely little booklet with all the num bers of the Montreat people neat ly arranged. Some important Black Mountain and Asheville numbers. These booklets were giv en as a parting gift to the cottage owners who had telephones. Sorry there has been trouble getting peo ple in Montreat. It seems that the 8 will just give the busy signal and no information given that 8 is out of existence. —North Carolina’s climate, with a long growing season and relative ly abundant rainfall, helps provide conditions generally favorable to agriculture.
