Whereas the home wiring of 15 or 20
years ago was called upon only to con-
duct current for a few low-wattage lights
and small appliances like an iron, vacu-
um cleaner or toaster, today’s wiring sys-
tems must supply many additional appli-
ances and a much higher level of lighting.
Tomorrow’s electrical living will place
even greater demands upon home wiring.
It must be big enough for the job.

OXFORD, Eng. — Dr. Ernest
Stebbins, American public
authority, told International
Cross officials Saturday that tuber-
culosis and venereal diseases have
reached epidemic proportions in Eu-
rope.
He said that in a two-month tour
of eleven European nations he found
the worst conditions in Poland, with
the tuberculosis mortality rate four
to five times, greater than it was be-
for the war. He described the Polish
health situation as “desperate.”
“We do not usually think of tuber-
culosis and venereal diseases as epi-
demic diseases, but actually now in
Europe they have reached epidemic
proportions,” Dr. Stebbins said.

“My opponent served his SECOND TERM by
PROXY,” says VAN ZANDT, in a speech at Denison
Wednesday night. He sought and was reelected to
a second term as Criminal District Attorney in 1942,
and after his nomination to that office, and before
resigning he personally asked and received a pledge
from the Commissioner’s Court to appoint Jim Kone,
as his successor. My opponent received a Commis-
sion in the Navy without previous military or naval
experience before resigning and, on his resignation'
Dec. 31, 1942, and in keeping with their pledge, the
Commissioner’s Court of Grayson County, promptly
appointed Jim Kone to serve my opponent’s SEC-
OND TERM.

Adequate wiring simply means a service /entrance large
enough to bring in as much electricity as your home may
need at any time, enough branch circuits of large enough
wire to conduct a full measure of electrical energy to your
lights and appliances, plus plenty of outlets and switches,
properly located.

FOR GRAYSON SHERIFF
Fred H. Prestage, candidate for
sheriff of Grayson County with the
pledge of prompt and efficient serv-
ice to the entire county, has resided
in Grayson 16 years and has an un-
usual background of training and
practical experience in peace officer
work.
Born in Cooke County 32 years
ago, Mr. Prestage came with his par-
i ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Prestage, to
this county at the age of 16 years, re-
siding on a farm at Sadler until his
father retired and the family moved
to Denison.
Fred, as the youthful World War
II veteran is more popularly known,
attended school at Sadler, was grad-
uated from the Whitesboro High
School and attended Southeastern
State Teachers College two years.
After varied work, including two
years with a Sherman grocery firm,
and two years with Swift & Co. and
one year with an insurance company
in Denison, Mr. Prestage joined the
Denison police department in June
1941. His assignment was general
enforcement work; and this practical
experience was supplemented by spe-
I cial courses sponsored by the FBI,
Department of Public Safety and
Texas A. & M. College.
Entering service as a volunteer in
October 1942, Fred spent 21 months
as an investigator of the Ninth Air
Force in Germany, Holland, France
and Belgium, again obtaining expe-
rience valuable to him in his chosen
career of law enforcement work.
Resuming his Denison police work
upon returning from overseas, Mr.
Prestage withdrew upon his an-
nouncement April 1 that he would be
a candidate for the sheriff’s office.
Mr. Prestage married Miss Marie
Guilloud of Pottsboro in 1938. He is
a member of the Church of Christ,
Odd Fellows, American Legion and
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Realizing that an honest and effi-
cient administration is a basic re-
quirement of any public official, Mr.
Prestage is emphasizing in his pledge
to the voters prompt service at any
time to all parts of the county, and a
staff of high type deputies who would
be trained as thoroughly as possible.

service connected disability when
evidence establishes that such dis-
ability was a principal or contribu-
, tory cause of death. In determining
i whether the service connected dis-
I ability contributed to death, it is not
sufficient to show that it was merely
concurrent or coexistent, but rather
it must be shown that it contributed
substantially or materially, to the
cause of death.
Q. Are all widows of peace-time
veterans entitled to a pension?
A. The widow of a veteran who
had only peace-time service is elig-
ible only if death occurs in service or
is the result of a disability incurred
in or aggravated by service.
Q. Will the proceeds of National
Service Life Insurance be counted as
income when arriving at an income
for use in application for pension?
A. The proceeds of National Serv-
ice Insurance is not considered as in-
come for such purpose
Q. What disposition is made of
premiums paid, on National Service
Life Insurance?
A. All premiums paid on account
of National Service Life Insurance
are deposited in a separate trust fund
of the United States Treasury. The
Government acts in the capacity of
trustee of the fund for the sole bene-
fit of the policy holders. No part of
the fund belongs to the Government,
nor does the government derive any
profit whatsoever from its adminis-
tration and the beneficial interest in
the reserve belongs exclusively to the
policyholders.
Q. Does the remarriage of a de-
pendent parent who is receiving
death pension bar that parent from
receiving such payments?
A. Remarriage of a dependent par-
ent is not a bar to the payment of
death pension. However, a new de-

G. P. Gafford, Sheriff, Grayson
County, Texas. By Sam York, Dep-
uty. 4A1
SAPULPA, Okla. — Aunt
Devers, who celebrated her
birthday two months ago 1
making her usual birthday statement
that “I ain’t never going to die,” was
found dead in her modest home here
Monday.
Aunt Lizzie, who became famous
as a modern “Moll Flanders” of the
Southwest, had been dead several
hours when found on the floor near
her bed by a neighbor woman. Her
death was attributed to natural
causes.
Mrs. Devers was born in Rome,
Ga., on May 1, 1831. While still a
child she was brought across the
dread “Trail of Tears” as far as Ar-
kansas. She always described her-
self as of Irish and Seminole Indian
descent.
Aunt Lizzie wore nine wedding
rings on' her left hand, and told
friends that she must have had nine
husbands at one time or another but
couldn’t remember their names.
Q. If a veteran no longer wishes to!
keep his National Service Life In-
surance, may he receive a cash re-
iund on premiums already paid?
A. The original policy, that is the
5-year level premium term policy,
has no cash value, therefore, there
would be no refund. A policy that
has been converted to either of the
three permanent plans does have a
cash value after it has been in force
for a year. It also has a loan value
of 94 percent of the cash value and
an extended insurance value.
Q. Is there a date limit that de-
fines a widow of a World War I vet-
eran for the purpose of determining
eligibility for death pension?
A. Yes. The widow must have
married the veteran prior tc Decem-
ber 14, 1944, in order to be eligible
for death pension.
Q. Where does a veteran apply for
readjustment allowance?
A. An eligible veteran must first
register with the United States Em-
ployment Service for work. He must
be able and available for suitable |
work. If no suitable work is offered'
he may then make application for re-
adjustment allowance with the Texas
Unemployment Compensation Com-
mission.
Q. May the cause of death be de-
termined as service-connected if the
service connected disability was a
contributing cause of death rather
than the principal cause?
A. The death of a veteran will be
considered as having been due to a
