Veterans Administration
Gives Answers to Questions
Veterans and their families are
asking thousands of questions
concerning the benefits their gov-
ernment provides for them
through the Veterans Adminis-
tration, according to t h e VA’s
Information Service in Dallas.
Below are some representative
queries and answers by the Vet-
erans Administration; if addition-
al information is desired, it may
be obtained at any VA Office:
Q — The new G. I. Home
Loan interest rate is 6 per cent.
But I understand there is some
kind of insurance fee on top oi
that. What is it?
A — There is a fee on a
Veterans Administration guaran-
teed or insured loan that amounts
to one-half of one per cent. That
is paid on the amount of the
loan. It is paid only ONCE. Not
every month.
Q — I’m in college under the
G. I. Bill. I heard that I do not
have to send in a certificate oi
attendance to get my first allow-
ance check. What about the sec-
ond, third, fourth, etc.?
A — The certificate of enroll-
ment returned to VA by the col-
lege is sufficient for the mailing
of the first check. Subsequent
checks will be sent AFTER you
send in your monthly certificate
of attendance.
Q — I receive regular treat-
ment and medicine from the Vet-
erans Administration for my ser
vice - connected disability. I plan
to travel overseas for about six
months. Is there any way I can
get medical care for medicines
if I need them on my trip?
A — The Veterans Administra-
tion provides such care and med
icines for service - connected dis-
abled veterans everywhere possi-
ble. Just contact the nearest U.S.
State Department, Embassy,
Consulate or Legation.
Q — I understand the G.I.
home loan program for World
War II veterans is about over.
Is that true?
A — The deadline for WW II
veterans is July 25, 1967. Your
entitlement runs 10 years from
the date of discharge plus one
year for each three months of
service, but in no case will it go
beyond July 25, 1967.
Q — Last January my G. I.
insurance premium was waived
because of a disability. Yet the
other day I received a dividend
check. Should I return it?
A — No. Keep it. It is yours.
A waiver of premium on a G. I.
participating policy is not a bar
to dividends.
Q — My father is a World

MISS PEGGY AARS
Named Finalist
In Beauty Contest
Miss Peggy Aars, a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Hulen C. Aars,
of 4 Scott Lane in Clifton, has
been named a finalist in the
yearbook "Frogette Beauty’
competition at Texas Christian
University in Fort Worth.
The yearbook staff’s search for

ered momentum when the staff’s

ists include four each from the

nior classes and five seniors.
Miss Horned Frog will be one of

Medal Lost at Glen Rose
Found by Meridian Student
Vicky Outlaw, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Outlaw, felt very
fortunate this week in receiving
through the mail the regional
twirling medal which she lost on
the football field at Glen Rose
on Friday night, November 4,
when the Clifton Cubs played the
Glen Rose Tigers.
Last Saturday night a Meridian
High School student found the
medal when Meridian and Glen
Rose clashed and turned it in to
Meridian superintendent, Walter
B. Parks Jr., who mailed the
medal to Vicky. The medal had
no name on It, but word had
reached Meridian students
through Clifton students that Vic-
ky had lost a medal at Glen
Rose.
Vicky is a junior student in
Clifton High School and is head
majorette with the Clifton High
Band.
The above incident is just an-
other example of the fact that
honesty not only is the best poli-
cy but it also is the most appre-
ciated one.

PRINCIPLES OP FAITH
The fact of Jesus’ death for Sin, and the sacrifice of His
fleshly body and blood given in our stead, is the cardinal
point of the gospel. It repulses all not called of God, even
as it did many of Jesus’ disciples who were present at the
sermon on the Bread of Life. “This is a hard saying;" many
of them proclaimed, “Who can hear it?” (John 6:60) To them,
Jesus explains, “It is the spirit that giveth life, the flesh
profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you
are spirit, and are life." (John 6:63) After this many disciples
forsook Him, and He turned to the twelve and said, “Would
ye also go away?” Simon Peter answered Him' “Lord to whom
shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life; and we
have believed and know, that thou are the Holy one of God.”
(John 6:67-69).
PRINCIPLE: THERE IS NONE OTHER WHO IS THE
BREAD, OR THE WORD, OF ETERNAL LIFE THAN JESUS,
THE CHRIST!

Q — In 1918 I suffered TB
and was sent to a Naval Hospital
from which I was discharged a
year later with 100 per cent tem-
porary total service - connected
disability. In 1942, I was told that
my condition was inactive. Why
is there a difference in service-
connected disabilities?
A — The difference is the se-
verity of each disability. Each
case is decided on the degree
the veteran is disabled. Just
about any ailment or disability
could be service - connected but
not ail are compensable.
