Optimism Urged
By Rotary Speaker
Be optimistic that a troubled
world will work its way out of
bad conditions and that America
will solve its problems, the Rotary
Club was told Wednesday.
The speaker was Frank Klipliver
of Wichita Falls, a former Lions
district governor and a man with
a 26-year record of perfect attend-
ance at his service club. Klipliver
spoke here recently to the Oiney
Lions, proved so popular that he
was secured for this week’s re-
turn engagement.
He was introduced by Ray-
mond Lunn, program chairman for
the Rotary luncheon.
Guests included L. C. Harper Jr.
of Graham, Jim and Tom Foley
and Joe Best of Wichita Falls, and
Elmer Hennig, Bernard Lunn and
H. O. Smith wick of Oiney.
New VA Medical
Unit In Wichita
Establishing a new Veterans
Administration unit in Wichita
Falls to serve Young County and
six other units, so that veterans
will be able to go there instead
of to Dallas where VA examina-
tions are necessary, was announced
in Oiney Thursday by Robert De-
Viney, VA contact representative.
The VA Dallas Regional Office
has assigned Dr. Otho Henry Box
Jr., of Marshall, Texas, to Wichita
Falls as full time medical officer
The unit will offer out-patient
treatment to veterans with service
connected disabilities and to men
in training under Public Law 16.
For the most part, examinations
for pensions will be conducted by
private physicians on fee basis.
To obtain treatment, eligible
veterans from Young, Baylor,
Archer and Throckmorton, should
get in touch with DeViney when
he is in Oiney, or they zaiay write
or call the VA office in Graham,
he said.

day night at the home of Mrs,

plans for the creation of files for

hoped ot interest various clubs
and organizations in the City in

signing, youth conservation, hob-
bies, science, art, crafts, silkworm

unlimited and when the need for
any particular subjject is felt, it
will be given consideration, the
committee said.
The committee statement after
the meeting added:
“The school children of the city,
in particular, need sources of in-
formation, and it is hoped to fill
this need. The file will be of great
help to clubwomen and to the
public at large.
“It is hoped to interest a great
many citizens in this fine project,
as it will take the combined ef-
forts of many people to produce
files of lasting interest and value.
Men’s organizations will also be
asked to assist.
“The plan will be presented tc?
various local organizations for ap-
proval, and further details will be
given within the near future."

son, Harry Bettis, Ray Perkins,

Veterans Questions
Q—Are there any restrictions in
Government insurance on the type
of work I do?
A—No. The insured may engage
in any occupation, no matter how
hazardous, live where he likes.,
and travel any way he chooses,
without effecting the value or cost
of his insurance policy.
J—For how long can I carry the
World War II National Sezwice
Life Insurance that I bought while
in service?
A—National Service Life In-
surance is issued originally upon
the 5-year level premium term
plan, which was extended three
years for all policies issued be-
fore January 1, 1946. However,
veterans have the privilege of
conversion after one year from
date of issue to permanent plans.
The law provides that all level
premium term policies shall term-
inate at the expiration of the term
period unless exchanged for perm-
anent policies on or before the
expiration date. If term insurance
has been converted, it remains in
effect as long as the premiums
are paid.
