Veteran Pension Act Moves
Closer To Enactment
Cunningham Elected Shrine
Club President
The Veterans Pension Im-
provement Act moved closer to
enactment when it was ordered
reported to the full Congress by
the House Veterans Affairs
Committee.
Sam B. Hall, Jr. of Texas’ 1st
District, member of the Com-
mittee, said $623,340,677 was
paid last year to Texas residents
in pension and compensation
allowances. This amount would
be substantially increased if the
new bill is enacted into law.
The measure indexes pension
rates to the Consumer Price
Index on the same basis as
Social Security. This would
provide automatic pension in-
creases to keep pace with the
rising cost-of-living. It also
ensures that VA pensions would
not be reduced solely because of
Social Security increases. Such
reductions have long been a
bone of contention between
pensioners and the Veterans
Administration.
Congressman Hall explained
that the bill would raise the
More Texans Now Growing
“Their Own Groceries”
More and more Texans are
growing gardens -- or “growing
their own groceries.”
Gardening fever is again
taking hold in Texas as spring
approaches. Indications are that
almost 60 percent of all Texas
households will engage in some
type of gardening activity this
year -- be it a full-fledged
backyard garden, a window box
or a few containers on the patio.
In the U.S., some 51 percent of
all households now take an
active part in gardening.
What's so alluring about
gardening? “It's the challenge
of growing your own tasty
vegetables,” contends Sam
Cotner, horticulturist with the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service. “There's just some-
thing about homegrown vege-
tables that can’t be matched
with those found in supermar-
kets. Furthermore, gardening is
a wholesome activity that can
involve all members of the
family."
For a successful venture into
gardening, families need to give
particular attention to a few
basics. Cotner lists these:
Watering — Water enough to
penetrate the soil to a depth of
at least six inches. Water in the
furrow between rows of crops
when possible. When using a
sprinkler, water in the morning
to allow plant leaves to dry
before night; this prevents
disease problems.
Weed Control - A hoe is the
best way to get ride of undesir-
able plants. Chemical weed
control is undesirable and un-
satisfactory because of the wide
range of crops grown in most
gardens.
Mulching — This involves
applying any material such as
straw, leaves, grass cuttings,
bark, sawdust, compost or

newspapers on the soil and
around growing plants. Mulch-
ing helps increase yields, con-
serves moisture, prevents weed
growth, regulates soil tempera-
ture, and reduces fruit rot.
Pest Control - Diseases and
insects are usually a major
problem in Texas gardens due
to mild winters. Use chemical
control measures only when
necessary and be sure to follow
the manufacturer’s directions
on the label.
Harvesting - Harvest vege-
tables at their peak of maturity
for the best flavor. For maxi-
mum flavor and nutritional
content, harvest the crop the
same day it is to be canned,
frozen or eaten.
“Keeping these few steps in
mind, gardening can be fun and
at the same time can provide
tasty vegetables that can help
cut your grocery bill,” empha-
sizes Cotner.
basic level of support for
pensioners well above the pov-
erty level. “It will, in my
opinion, substantially improve
the standard of living for all
veterans and eligible survivors,
especially those most in need,”
he said. The rates are above the
rates of assistance proposed in
the President’s Welfare Reform
Initiative, he added. “I believe
veterans’ pensions should offer
more than welfare for these
most deserving citizens.”
Elderly veterans, including
the majority of World War I
veterans, would receive special
consideration in the proposed
law. They would get an addi-
tional amount added to their
pensions after reaching the age
of 80.
The rate structure for pen-
sions under the reform bill
raises the maximum amount
payable to permanently and
totally disabled single veterans
from $2,364 to $4,000. One
dependent would raise the
maximum pension to $5,200
with $600 for each additional
dependent. Present law pro-
vides only $60 each for no more
than two dependents.
Single veterans in need of aid
and attendance would receive
an increase from $4,344 to
$6,160 with comparable in-
creases for veterans with de-
pendents and for widows and
children.
Other provisions of the bill
would;
Exclude G1 Bill educational
benefits as income in meeting
the needs test.
Increase from $312 to $600
the allowance for children paid
to widows. This would put the
payments on par with that
allowed to veterans with chil-
dren.
Raise from $500 to $1,000 the
amount over the maximum
annual income that can be
received by a veteran requiring
aid and attendance without
giving up his right to free drugs
from the VA.
