Among these every year is the collapse of a number of snow-shovelers. If you are sure that you're physically fit, go ahead with the snow-shoveling task, the American Medical Association says. , , But if there is any doubt, AMA suggests; Get the job done somS other way. Hire some one, or use power equipment. R is much less expensive to employ these alternatives than to risk health empalrment or death, AMA emphasizes. Even If you are physically fit, AMA notes, it is safer to use a small shovel, filling it only partly. If possible, it also js better to push the snow rather than lift It. By thus lightening the load, It's explained, it Is not necess ary to tense the diaphragm and abdominal muscles. There con sequently is no significant in crease in pressure within the chest cavity or increase in circulatory demand within the heart walls. Frequently, AMA says, the problem with snow-shoveling is aggravation of an existing heart condition. When such a con dfticn exists, breafhmg cold air" while under physical strain may cause a spasm of small arter ies serving the heart. This usually can be avoided. AMA advises, by wearing a cold weather mask or covering the face with several layers of a knit scarf. This permits warm ing of inhaled air before it reaches the lungs. Even for the physically fit. it's suggested, the motto should be: Easy does It. Especially when there is a lot of snow and a large area to be cleared, do the job In stages, resting periodically, , Finally, AMA cautions, falls also are a hazard for the snow shoveler. Footwear that Is not likely to slip on Icy surfaces. and making sure of firm footing before moving snow are Important,'.-. Dog Owners, It's That Tlmsllgfiin All dog owners are reminded that the 1969 dog tags are now on sale at the Hertford Municlple BuUding. , Dogs are required to be tagged at all times or are sub ject to be Ins picked ud and lm- ipounded. .Vewi U Short ThU Week Due To New Year$ Holiday One Day Earlier Deadline!

Veteran's Administration EDITOR'S NOTE: Below are authoritative answers by the Veterans Administration to some of the many current ques tions from former servicemen and their families. Further information on veterans bene fits may be obtained at any VA office. My husband, a World War n veteran, died In 1958. We did not have any children. My application for a widow's pen sion was denied at that time because I had only been married for three years to my husband. I am now unable to work because of a disability. Will this be a consideration if I should reapply for a pension? In Itself your disability would not be a consideration. How ever, a law passed in 1967 lib eralized the five-year marriage requirement in effect at the time of your husband's death. Now a widow needs to have been married to the veteran only one year before his death to meet this pension eligibility requirement. For Information and assistance in reapplying for a pension, contact your nearest VA regional office. I am receiving a pension for my nonservlce-connected dis abilities. When is the dead line for returning my Income questionnaire from the Vet erans Administration? The deadline is Jan. 15, 1969. What is the Umit on the a mount of a guaranteed home loan a veteran can obtain from a lending institution, and what Is the maximum length of time allowed to repay this type of loan? ; The VA has no limit on the amount which may be borrow ed with aguaranteedloan. How ever, there Is a limitation on the amount of the VA guaranty to the lender. The guaranty cannot be more than 60 per cent,' of the loan and in no event can it exceed 112,500. GI home loan mortgages may run up to 30 years. WHITE COLLAR PAY U The Labor Department reports that white collar workers re ceived pay increaaea averaging more than 9 dot cent this year.

Harrison points out that "to renew a license plate you must have a renewal card" and cau tions against the misplacing of it when it Is received. She also asks you to open the envelope, read the instructions and com plete the application according to Instructions before present ing It for a new plate.

Anyone falling to receive an application card " may possibly find it at the local license office. "It will take from ten days to two weeks to get application cards from the Department of Motor Vehicles ip Raleigh." says Mrs. Harrison, and she suggests that those who have not received an application apply to her office as early as possible so that there will be time to get one out of Raleigh if she does not have it. - SOUTH VIETNAM AND PARIS i The United States has induc ed South Vietnam to Jain Parle talks by strongly reaffirming its promises to make no com promises to the Communists that would imperil the integrity . and independence of the Saigon government.
