A report by Mr. Cox showed
the work done by the Red Cross in
connection with the civilian con-
tact for the military. He processed
186 emergency furlough requests
during the nine months ending
October 1, gave financial assis-
tance to 19 servicemen, filled out
20 dependency discharge applica-
tions, and made 95 other informa-
tional reports to the military.
Numerous other help was given
military personnel in contact with
their civilian problems. The home
service department is the most ac-
tive of Red Cross activities.
An audit is being made of the
funds of the Red Cross in banks of
Jacksonville, Rusk and Alto. These
funds are to be consolidated in an
effort to stretch the money until
the membership drive and fund
campaign next March.

FEEDING HINTS
FOR LIVESTOCK
PRODUCERS
College Station, Oct. 23.—The
s age is set for another winter of
narrow nutritive margins for live-
stock The continuing drouth is
responsible, says C. M. Patterson,
/eterinarian for the Texas Agricul-
ural Extension Service, for condi-
tions that can cause trouble for
livestock producers unless correc-
tive measures are taken.
Animals during the past months,
have had little chance to build up
reserves of vitamin A for carrying
them through the winter and ac-
cording to Paitterson, it appears
that conditions are becoming favor-
able for the reoccurance of "white-
muscle disease." This disease
caused heavy livestock losses last
winter in the north-cast fourth of
the sta<te.
Patterson warns that unless ra-
tions of pastured animals are sup-
plemented, with vitamin A rich
feeds, respiratory troubles will in-
crease as changes in the weather
becQme more sudden. !f the lack
of rainfall prevents the growing of
winter grazing crops, green hay or
vitamin A enriched concentrates
mu>t be supplied. In addition to
bronchitis and pneumonia preven-
tion. the veterinarian points out
that vitamin A also plays a very
important role in animal reproduc-
tion. The large number of aborted,
still-born or weak and deformed
calves dropped last spring, he adds,
was a direct result of the lack of
green feed last fall and winter.

CHANGE IN
SOCIAL SECURITY
LAW FOR VETS
An important change in the so-
cial security law took place in
July which is of special interest to
servicemen and their survivors,
Glenn T. Dunn, manager of the
Tyler social security office pointed
out today.
As a result of this new provision,
military service from September
16, 1940, to December 31, 1953, can
count toward social security pay-
ments. To survivors of servicemen,
this may mean that they can now
be paid monthly benefits, even
though they may not have been
eligible for them before this change
in the law was made.

It is currently reported that
Ralph Rozelie is to referee the
game and up to now, neither side
has been able to bribe him and he
vows that it will be called "even

bad for the referee, he has already
advised Forest Grogan to keep a
clear path so he could leave in a

expressed the view that the long-

a "shabby instrument for the bene

The 1952 amendments provide . .. „
social security wage credits of $160^^.^ Marshall Ray Bynum and
per month for military service from
July 24, 1947, through December
31, 1953. The wage credits for mili-
tary service after the end of World
War II count both toward survivors
benefits and retirement benefits
for months after August 1952, but
do not count toward lump-sum
death payments where the service-
man died before September 1952.
As a result of the new law, mili-
tary service from September 16,
1940, through December 31, 1953.
can count toward social security
payments.
Wage credits are posted to the
veteran's account at the time the
application is processed for bene-
fits. Proof of the period of service
is required only at the time of ap-
plication. Therefore, veterans them-
selves do not need to take any
action now to establish their wage
credits.
It is believed that many survi-
vors do not know or have over-
looked the fact that social security
benefits may now be payable to
them. If you have never inquired
or if you have not inquired since
the President signed the new So-
cial Security Bill (July !8, 1952),
you should do so promptly at your
n arest social security office.
