“Mommy, can I stay at grandmother s tonight?’ That was little
Carol’s very first telephone call - a real thrill that can hardly
be measured in dollars and cents. Yet, Mrs. Caroline Niemeyer,
Carol’s grandmother, can tell you what that call cost. She is
one of a group of customers who kept day-by-day records of
calls made for a week - a total of 30 calls covering 133 miles.
Then she broke her telephone bill down into the actual cost
per call. “I was amazed," she reported, “at how little my tele-
phone service cost for all the convenience and happiness it
delivers." SOUTHWISTWN MU TELEPHONE company ... a team op

AUSTIN, June 24.—This is the
season of the year when an in-
crease in poliomyelitis can be ex-
acted and Dr. Henry A. Holle,
■he health officer, is urging the
public to cooperate in helping to
prevent the spread of this crip-
pling disease.
“Children should not visit homes
where poliomyelitis or symptoms
of this disease are present.
Promptness in diagnosing polio-
myelitis ik one of the most impor-
tant factors in its control,” Dr.
Holle declnred.
“Direct contact between persons
is the chief factor in the spread of
infantile paralysis and since car-
riers are difficult to determine, it
is advisable to reduce to a mini-
mum all huma ncontacts during
any outbreaks of this disease.”
outbreaks of this disease.”
Dr. Holle stressed the fact that
a rigid program of sanitation is
advisable since it has been sus-
pected that flies and other sea-
sonal insects may convey the virus
or germ of poliomyelitis. He add-
ed that insect transmission has
not boon scientifically demon-
strated but pointed out that sani-
tation is always advisable in con-
trolling disease and that filth is
likely to prove dangerous.
Early symptoms of infantile
paralysis are headache, fever,
vomiting, unusual drowsiness, and
.rrUabilitv, followed by stiffness
in The neck and back.
Children under five years are
most susceptible and all children
under 12 years should be watched
for suspicious symptoms. Dr. Holle
urged that a physician be called
immediately if infantile paralysis
is suspected. If the disease is
definitely diagnosed, local health
authorities should be contacted
immediately and patients isolated
for at least 21 days.

Question* and Answers:
Question—I have a Korean GI
term insurance policy—the kind
that doesn’t pay dividends. Would
it be possible for me to convert it
to a permanent form of insurance.
Answer—No. Under the Law,
non-participating term insurance
policies issued to Korean veterans
may not be converted to
manent plans.
Question—I am a disabled
World War II veteran, and I’d like
to take vocational rehabilitation
training under Public Law 16 If
I’m eligible to train, would I be
allowed to take a four-year law
course?
Answer—No. The law . wquld
allow y6u to take only a course
that you could complete by July
25, 1956, the date the Public Law
16 training program comes to an
end. You would have to enroll
for a course that you could finish
in two years or less.
Question—I am a World War II
veteran taking GI Bill training at
night. I have a job that normally
doesn't require me to travel, but
I found out that I'm going to have
to take a three-week business trip,
and therefore interrupt my train-
ing. Will 1 be permitted to re-
sume my GI Bill training when I
get back? Or is this the kind of
interruption that's not allowable?
Answer—You will be permitted
to resume your GI Bill training
when you return from your trip
VA considers such a temporary

-—-*--
interruption as one caused by a
“valid reason,” so long as it doesn’t
last for more than four months.
If it did last longer, you would be
required to show VA that you
couldn’t possibly have resumed
your training earlier.
Question—Does the August 20,
1954, deadline for starting Korean
GI Bill training apply to all
Korean veterans?
— - - - W ■
Answer—No. The August 20
cut-off date applies only to vet-
erans separated from service be-
fore August 20, 1952. Veterans
separated after that date have two
years from separation to begin
Korean GI Bill training.

From where I sit... Ay Joe Marsh
No Sale!
Right in front of Granny White’s
beautiful old houRe on Maple
Avenue there’s a brand-new sign:
“Antiques. Inquire Within.”
Now—don’t get excited. Gran-
ny explained it all the other night
—after we settled down in her
parlor, me with my temperate
beer, Granny with her tea.
I asked her if she was really
going in the antique business.
“Oh, no,’’says Granny, “I wouldn’t
tell anything. I put that sign up
so folks would come in and talk—
and look around. If they insist on
a price, I tell them some outra-
peoplc,” she said.
From where I sit Granny can be
excused for her little ruse. She
may be in her eighties, but her
mind is young—and open. She’s
the kind of person who’s made this
town so wonderfuL Granny not
only likes people—but she re-
spects them and their preferences
and opinions. Come to think of it,
“liking” and “respecting” mean
much the aame thing, don’t they 7
