Information
For the Vet
(EDITOR’S NOTE: Veterans
and their families are asking
thousands of questions concern-
ing the benefits their govern-
ment provides for them through
the Veterans administration.
Below are some representative
queries. Additional informa-
tion may be obtained at any
VA office.
veteran's widow
pension. Would
benefits reduce
Q--I am
drawing VA
state welfare
my pension?
A--No. VA does not consider
benefits from public or private
welfare organizations as in -
come for purposes of comput-
ing pension.
Q--As a veteran attending
college under the GI bill, I
wonder why VA does not pay
for all my educational expen-
ses^
A--Like the World War II
and Korean Conflict GI bills
4k — — — A t-41 I 1 — ^***^"*^^y
as educational assistance, rath-
er than a total subsidy through
four years of college. Veterans
who went to school after WW
II often had to supplement their
educational allowances just as
the majority of all well moti-
vated college students do.
Q--I am a World War 11
veteran and have used a small
portion of my GI loan entitle-
ment. Can my remaining en-
titlement be used in purchasing
a mobile home?
A--No. You must have the
maximum loan guaranty enti-
tlement available to qualify for
mobile home benefits.
Q--How do I get admitted to
a Veterans administration hos-
pital?
A--Apply in person to the
VA hospital nearest your home
taking with you a copy of your
military separation papers. If
unable to visit the nearest hos-
pital, a private physician may
request by phone admittance
for a veteran-patient, being
prepared to advise admissions
authority as to military data
and the need for hospital care.
QUESTION: How can one
avoid being tense as he starts
to speak?--Mrs. V.C.
ANSWER: You can't, and don’t
try. Every beginning speaker is
a human being and will have
physical and chemical respon-
ses to pressure situations. You
will be keyed up, but count your
blessings. Use your extra nerv-
ous energy to communicate by
spontaneous impiuses ana ges-
tures.
However, to the nervous
speaker this is not saying much.
I suggest: Walk slowly, deli-
berately to the podium, telling
yourself you will work on the
extra energy.
Look the audience straight in
the eye, and wait.
Take several deep breaths,
and then settle your papers. I
prefer that a speaker have no
more than one-half dozen cards,
so that he can speak extempo-
raneously.
Don’t speak too rapidly, and
use your body without hesita-
tion to make points.
Nervousness is an asset or
a liability, depending upon the
attitude of the speaker.

Building Fund
Program Set
For Sunday
The Christian Fellowship
Baptist church will observe its
Y outh building fund program at
6 o’clock Sunday evening, Aug-
ust 13. General theme of the
program is “Youth At Work
for Christ." Guest speaker will
be Mrs. Irene Thompson, an
active member of Mt. Zion
First Baptist church and also
an effective physical education-
al teacher in the San Antonio
Independent School district.
Mrs. Thompson served as gen-
eral director of the summer
Youth program at St. Philip's
Episcopal church on Artesla
drive, where she motivated
many youths into self-elevation.
The Rev. R.A. Callles, Sr.,
is pastor of the Christian Fel-
lowship Baptist church.
QUESTION: I hear that
monthly social security bene-
fits will be increased. I got
the last raise automatically.
Must I do anything to get this
one?
ANSWER: You don’t have to
do anything to get the new 20
per cent increase. You’ll see
the increase for the first time
in the social security check
you get in early October.
QUESTION: 1 know I’ll get an
increase in my monthly social
security payments, starting
with the check delivered in Oc-
tober. But what happens if the
cost of living goes up in the
future0 Social security is my
only income.
ANSWER: The new social se-
curity law provides for auto-
matic adjustments of benefits
based on Increases in the cost
of living. If the cost of living
goes up three or more per cent
in one year, monthly social
security payments will also go
up starting the following Jan-
uary--unless a general benefit
increase was enacted or be-
came effective during the prior
year. Cost of living increases
will be measured by the Con-
sumer Price Index put out by
the United States Department of
Labor.
QUESTION: I was recently
treated by a doctor in another
state. My Medicare claim had
to be filed in that state. Do I
have to meet the $50 deductible
there as well as at home?
ANSWER: No. The $50 de-
ductible applies just once a
.ear ever, ti.uugh claims are
filed in different states.

J.E. PEAVY, v
Commissioner of Health
With the arrival of August,
thousands of Texas mothers
suddenly realize that only a few
more weeks remain until school
begins.
Parents with youngsters be-
ginning school for the firsttime
this September look forward to
school with a little more ex-
citement, and many mothers
whose first-born are going off
to school may be a bit be-
wildered bv it all.
In addition to the milllon-
and-one chores that must be
performed in getting the young-
ster ready for school -- new
shoes, clothes, health examina-
tion--most school districts re-
quire proof of age for beginning
students. A certified copy of a
birth certificate is usually re-
quested, reports the Texas State
Department of Health.
This fall there will be a quar-
ter-million new first graders in
the schools throughout Texas,
with the total public school en-
rollment expected to reach 2.8
million. Continued growth of the
school population is expected
for the next two to three years,
according to the Texas Educa-
tion agency.
Anticipating the rush of birth
certificate requests, the Rec-
ords and Statistics section of
the Texas State Department of
Health has been prepared for
it. Requests already are pour-
ing in.
It takes a sizeable staff just
to open the thousands of letters
received dally, let alone search
out a requested certificate, re-
move it from the thick volume,
make a certified copy, mall it
out and then return the original
certificate to its proper place.
Years of experience have eli-
minated nearly every bottle-
neck. The operation is smooth
and fast. Usually the copy is
mailed within a day or two after
the request is received.
One bottleneck still remain-
ing, however, is the individual
who makes the last-minute re-
quest. Parents are requested to
stop now and write for a certi-
fied copy of the birth certifi-
cate, or contact either the city
registrar where the child was
born or the county clerk in the
county of birth.
If you write the Texas State
Department of Health, Bureau
of vital Statistics, 410 East
Pifth Q* A M«4in Towns Ka ««•*»«
to: include the child’s name,
place of birth, date of birth,
and the parents’ name (includ-
ing the mother’s maiden name.)
The State Health department
fee for a certified copy of the
birth certificate is $2.
PHILADELPHIA -- The De-
partment of Justice filed a civil
suit, July 27, charging the Phil-
adelphia Electric company and
Local ' 184 of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers with discriminating
against blacks, women and per-
sons with Spanish surnames.
Attorney General Richard G.
Klelndienst said the suit was
filed in United States District
court in Philadelphia charging
employment discrimination
against the company and the
union.
According to the complaint,
the Pennsylvania public utility
company has 10,323 employees
of whom 643 are black and 17
Spanish surnamed.
It said the company relies
on referrals by incumbent em-
ployees to fill vacancies, and
because of the small number of
blacks and Spanlsh-Americans
in the work force, this “tends
to perpetuate the effects of past
discrimination in recruitment
and hiring.. ”
The complaint stated further
that while promoting male em-
ployees to supervisory posi-
tions the company “has failed
and refused to promote female
employees with similar senior-
ity and qualifications *
NEW YORK—The New York
state conference of the Nation-
al Association for the Advance-
ment of Colored People in July
donated $636 to the associa-
tion’s Elmira branch to aid
in flood relief work among the
town's minority population. The
money will be used to pay for
the services of Mrs. Eliza-
beth Booker of Elmira, who
will direct the relief effort.
In addition to her prime func-
tion, Mrs. Booker will also re-
cruit new members for the
local branch during the four
weeks for which she will serve
the branch. Elmira was among
the most severly ravaged towns
during the recent June floods.

It alleged also that the union’s
collective bargaining agree-
ment with the company contains
provisions which discriminate
against black, Spanish-sur-
named and women employees.
The suit asked that the com-
pany and the union be enjoined
from continuing practices which
violate Title Y11 of the Clvtl
Rights act of 1964.
It asked also that members
of minority groups who suf-
fered economic loss because of
the alleged discrimination be
awarded compensatory back
pay.
A family reunion was held at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs.

spective families.
