The Veterans
Comer
Here are authoritative answers
by the Veterans Administration
to questions from former service
men and their families:
Q — Do servicemen receive the
same benefits as servicemen after
they are discharged and become
veterans?
A — Yes.
Q — When a veteran believes
he holds re-employment rights in
a Federal agency, but the agen
cy refuses to re-employ him, to
whom does he appeal his ease?
'A — In the case of a field ser
vice position, appeal should be
made to the Civil Service (Region
al Office having jurisdiction over
the area; in case of a departmen
tal service job or central office
position, appeal should be made
to the Central Office of 'the U. S.
Civil Service Commission, Wash
ington, D. C.
Q — I am a World War I dis
abled veteran drawing service
connected disability compensa
tion from the VA. In the event
of my death, what 'benefits (if
any} would my wife be entitled
to?
LA — If your death resulted
from ybur service - connected dis
ability, your wife would be en
titled to compensation. If your
death resulted from a non-serv
ice - connected cause, your wife
would toe entitled to a pension de
pending upon her annual in
come. 1

Legends Surround
Christmas Hymns
Stories of legends surround
most of the modern ways of cele
brating Christmas__ and some
times there is more than one
version of a story — such as the
story of “Silent Night” and how
the song came to be written.
Joseph Mohr, village priest of
Hallein, Austria, wrote the words
and his organist wrote the mu
sic, probably adapted from a mel
ody by Michael Haydn. On this
point, most sources seem to be
agreed.
What inspired Father Mohr
to write the words is another
story — or another two stories.
One version, say researchers
for The Book of Knowledge, is
that Father Mohr was called out
into the snow on Christmas Eve
of 1818, to bless a newly bom
baby in the home of one of his
poorest parishioners.
He wSte so filled with the spirit
of the season and the simple
beauty of the mother and infant
that when he returned to his
study he wrote the poem, “Silent
Night.” Before Christmas Day
was over, his organist had writ
ten the music.
Other versions have it that the
church organ had broken down
(impaired by mice, one story
says), and the people were sad
dened because there would be no
music for Christmas Day. Shortly
before Christmas, Father Mohr
wrote his poem and Organist
Gruber the music.
At midnight mass, the people
sang “Silent Night” — with a
guitar accompaniment.
East bearing gifts to the Holy Child
so let us bear in our hearts
that greatest gift of all—Love
toward each other so that peace may prevail
