ing the benefits their Govern
ment provides for them through
the Veterans Administration.
Below are some representative
queries. Additional information
may be obtained at any VA
office.
Q ? I was discharged at the
end of December 1968 after two
years service. I had a tooth
filled about six months before
I got out of service. The filling
has fallen out. Can I get the
tooth repaired by the Veterans
Administration?
A ? Yes. Dental work on a
one-time completion basis may
be provided veterans with serv
ice-connected but noncompen
sable dental conditions which
existed at time of separation
provided application is made
within one year after discharge.
Your application for VA den
tal treatment should be sent to
the nearest VA regional office,
where your records are on file,
before the end of December
1969.

I Jones came to QMnlboro in

happy, therefore to salute Mr.
Jones as the Man Of The Year
for 1969-1970.
As a hobby, he loves to write.
Below is a sample of some of hi#
work.
WHY GOD MADE MAN:
AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE:
Paul did not make his decision
that love Is the greatest gift
(Summum-Bonum) until he
had contrasted love with every
thing that man thought was
great:
The only thing (Love) wa?
able to stand the test.
Everything save love will paaa
away: God not only made man
for His glory, but love as well.
When man learns to lov?v every
thing will be in order and there
-will be peace on earth.
Paul was not making a grand
stand decision nor were their
thumbs down as if he were a
Gladiator: So man should medi
tate then be true to himself.
If we are not afraid to work,
we will be afraid not to work:
f not afraid to love, we will be
afraid to hate.
Knowledge nor skill will de
termine the worth of man, it i*
the service of man that count*.
God made man to serve with all
he has, After all, "All' Belongs
To God."
BLACK LEADER SPEAKS
BEFORE JAYCEE GROUP
Reverend Leon Sullivan, Phil
adelphia's dynamic "black capi
talism" advocate last week
urged U. S. Jaycees to "stop
criticizing what is happening
in the poverty streets of our
communities and begin working
to provide new wealth, new
productivity and new jobs for
the poor." Reverend Sullivan
addressed the opening luncheon
session ' of The United States
Jaycee Board of Directors
Meeting which was held here,
March 20-22.
"Human problems in our com
munities are becoming more
difficult and complex every
day," stated Dr. Sullivah. "Great
untapped and ever growing hu
man resources are being daily
overlooked and grossly under
rated, as far as their potential is
concerned. We must merge our
white power and black power
into American power so that
the benefits of democracy might
one day reach every house and
lift the life of every poor soul."
Reverend Sullivan is pastor
of the Zion Baptist Church, with
one of the largest congregations
' in the city of Philadelphia. His
widely acclaimed "black capi
tal" successes are detailed in
a newly-published book, entitl
ed "Build, Brother, Build."
