The Veterans
Comer
Here are authoritative answers
by the Veterans Administration
to questions from farmer service
men and their families:
Q — Because of my late hus
band’s military service, I receiv
ed some $3,600 in death gratuity
payment. Is this money subject
to federal income tax?
'A — No.
Q — M!y husband is a war vet
eran and since his discharge from
active duty, he has worked under
sodal security. In planning our
insurance program we would like
to know what burial allowances
would be payable. i
A — It appears that a burial
allowance in your case may be
payable by either the VA, the
Social Security Administration,
or both. The VA plays up to $250
to the funeral director, if he has
not been paid, or to the person
who pays the burial expenses.
The Social Security lump sum
payment equals three times the
worker’s benefit, but not more
than $255.
Q — My father, a World War
II veteran died recently from
causes not connected with his
military service. In order for me
to be eligible for a VA pension,
since I am unmarried and not yet
18, what service requirements
must my deceased lather hhve
fulfilled?
'A — Your father must have
had at least 90 days service, part
of which was during wartime.
During World Wfeir H the war
time service dates are December
7, 1941, to Decemiber 31, 19461 He
must have been discharged under
conditions other than dishonor
able.
Q — Has the GI loan guaohn
ty re-use provision 'been extended
for World Wall veterans, and if
so, how long?
A — Yes, Public Law 84 by the
87th‘ Congress extended the res
toration privilege until July 25,
1967, for World War II veterans,
and until January 31,1975 for Ko
rea veterans. The VA must have
been completely relieved of lia
bility and no claim m|ay havto
been made against it for the pre
vious loan, if restoration is to be
granted.
Q — My son, a World War II
veteran, was killed recently in an
accident. VA refused me death
compensation allowance. I can
not understand this because I
know other mothers who are
drawing death dependency allow - j
ances. Why am I not entitled to
the same benefits?
A — A dependent parent may
collect death compensation from
the VA only of the veteran’s dea-,
th resulted from a service-con-:
nected injury or illness.
Q — I understand that the VA’s'
direct loan limit has been in
creased. What is the new maxi
mum and the interest rate?
A — Limit for a direct loan
from the VA is $15,000. Interest
rate remains 5 1/4 per cent.
Q — May a peacetime veteran
enter a VA domiciliary, and if
so, what are the conditions of !
eligibility?
A — Yes. He moist be perma
nently disabled, have been dis
charged for a disability incurred
in line of duty or be receiving
compensation for a service - con
nected disability, have no visible
means of support, and be incapa
citated from earning a living.
Q — How many women veter
ans in the United States?
A — There are an estihnated1
100.000 women veterans in the
United States; about 315,000 of
them World War H veterans,
10.000 Korea veterans and the
nest either World War I veterans
or Army nurses duding the Span
ish-American War.

Driving Tips
Are Listed
For Cold Days
Cold weather driving’s not far
off and now’s as good a time as
any to discuss that silent and
deadly killer — carbon monox
ide.
The North Carolina Depart-:
ment of Motor Vehicles says that
every year many so-called “un-4
explainable” wintertime road
accidents could very easily toe the
results of cartoon monoxide. Its
presence within the driving com
partment can produce drowsiness
before the driver or passengers
knows what’s happening to them.
Unconsciousness and death quick-;
ly follow unless prompt precau
tions are taken.
Carbon monoxide is formed
when any solid, liquid or gaseous
fuel is incompletely burned. It
Is produced most commonly by a
running gasoline engine and is
dangerous in a very low concen
tration.
This poison gas is nothing to!
be terrified about, but it’s noth- 1
ing to fool around with either.!
Ordinary precautions are cer
tainly called for, especially be
fore winter sets in for the real.
A car thoroughly checked and in
spected, with special emphasis on
the muffler and exhause system,
is an excellent preliminary oper
ation.
The driver who keeps his ve
hicle in good all around condition
has little to worry about in aver
age traffic. If exhaust gases are,
ejected from the exhtaust pipe,
as they should be, instead of
seeping through the floor into
the passenger space, you’ll make I
out all right. Set your mind at !
ease by making sure your car
has a sound, tight exhaust sys
tem as well as a smooth running,
winter-tuned engine.
Of course, it’s possible for a1
driver to flirt with death even
with an average-to- good car. One
way is to run the engine inside
the garage with the doors closed.
Another way to get into trou
ble with carbon monoxide is to

fail to appreciate the wallop ev
en just a little bit can impart. In i
other words, a driver doesn’t!
have to breathe enough to render
him unconscious. All that’s need
ed is to sniff a sufficient quanti
ty of the deadly stuff to reduce j
alertness and slow down reac
tion. A traffic accident may do
the rest.
It follows that if a large dose
can kill you, then a smaller dose
can assuredly have ill effects —\
especially if inhaled over a peri
od of time. Carbon monoxide in
the air you breathe saps away
your alertness, your sense of well
being, your good judgment.
If passengers complain of car
sickness or headaches, or if you
feel somehow below par every
time you drive for any length of
time, it’s wise to suspect carbon
monoxide.
Although CO, which is the
chemical identification of carbon
monoxide, 4s odorless, it is usual
ly mixed with other exhaust gas
es which have a distinct odor. By!
detecting the presence of these
other gases, you can usually as
sume the presence of deadly CO.
In such an event, do some- 1
thing — open a window or venti
lator to assure yourself of a good
supply of fresh, pure air. And
don’t park for long period of
time with the engine running.
Even if you are sure there’s no
danger from carbon monoxide, it
still isn’t smart to coop yourself j
up in a nearly 'airtight eomipejrt-1
merit rour after hour. Let in;
some fresh air frequently, even
when it’s icy outside.
Fiesh air will keep you awake,
alert — and alive.
No Winter Wheat
Surplus This Year
Thtere is no surplus of soft red
and soft wlhSte winter, the Wheats
grown by farmers in the Eastern
half of the United States, the Na
tional Soft Wheat Committee
says this week.
With domestic and foreign mar
kets consuming present produc
tion, the committee is actively
seeking contact with farmers in
this part of the country, encour
aging them to continue to grov
soft Wheats up to the limit o!
their acreage allotments.
At the same time, it is being
emphasized that by cutting 'back
too much on acreage, Eastern
wheat growers stand to lose their
traditional markets and sacrifice
a sizeable source of income. Al
so, farmers benefited from a
Wheat crop early in the year pro
viding cash until later harvests
come in.
Adding strength to current
thinking on acreage is the com
mit tee’s position that since soft
wthSeat acreage has declined over
the years and is now very elder
ly in line with historically proven
needs, any further reduction is
bound to create serious problems.
Traditionally, wheat has been
a profitable small grain crop in
established wheat areas. More re
cently, soft wheats are being rec
ommended by experiment stat
ions and adopted by farmers as
small nurse crops in the cropping
system of approved soMis manage
ment programs. t 1
The soft wheat committee adds
that the 1962 wheat program
Was 'been charted for one year
only. Therefore there Is no way
of forecasting the nature of fu
ture programs — but it is cer
tain that the farm’s wheat hist
ory will be an important factor.
For this reason the committee
believes it is prudent for the soft
wheat grower to maintain his.
farm’s wheat history credit.

them.
