Certainly any one should be proud of 20 years of

also can take honors with her perfect attendance record.

Being on the job every assigned working day for a

ceeds of the policy in

restofmy ltfcf--•---* -—
A. No. You may choose
one of two payment plans:
(1) lump sum* or (2) equal
monthly payments ranging
from 36 to 240 installments,
in multiples of 12. ■>'
Q. I pay my GI insurance
premiums quarterly and
usually get a reminder from
VA before the premium is
due. This quarter I did not
get one, and the premium is
about due. Should I pay it,
or wait until VA sends me a
reminder notice?
A. By all means pay your
GI insurance premium when
it falls due... Premium pay-
ment is1 always the policy-
holder’s responsibility, and
failure to do so- means risk-
ing policy lapse. -Do not
wait for VA reminders. It
is the actual premium due
date of your policy which
should be observed.

WEATHER FORECASTS FROM SATELLITES
How does that old saying go. “Everybody talks about
the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” Well,
With the successful launching of Tiros Itp an experimental
weather satellite, we may soon be doing something about
tne weather. At least, we will understand it better.
' The Tiros H is equipped with TV to take pictures of
‘ cloud formatioris and^ transmit them back' to earth for
use in weather forecasting.
To provide accurate weather data, the satellite must
circle the earth at a nearly uniform height at all times.
The guidance system, which makes this almost perfect
circular orbit possible, was developed by the Bell System.
More than 9,000 ftolar cells—another Bell System in-
vention__are mounted on the outside of Tiros II to pro-
vide power for its instruments.
Who knows ... we may be doing quite a bit about
the weather in a few more years.

The Ball High School
stage band of Galveston,
better known in South Tex-
as as the Islanders and un-
der direction of Bill Jacobs,
will be in La Grange to play
their fall dance Saturday,
Jan. 28, at the Fair Pavilion.
Along with the Islanders
will be the popular rock and
roll group known as the
Continentals. This group
played at the pavilion in
La Grange last year, and is
returning by popular re-
quest.
The Islanders, composed
of 18 musicians, play mod-
ernday hit tunes and the
popular standards of yester-
year. Some 45 engage-
ments have been played by
the Islanders and Corittnen-
tals since the start of the
school year, and they have
beep widely acclaimed by
young and old for their ver-
satility and showmanship. .
The Continentals a r e
I known for their rak ’n* roll
abilities. They have per-
formed on both radio and
TV, and have recorded for
several companies.
Ray McKinley, leader of
the famous Glenn Miller Or-
chestra, recently heard this
group and his comment was
“he most tremendous group
of youngsters I’ve ever
heard.” McKinley was so
impressed that the Islanders
were his personal guests in
Galveston at the famous
Moody Center when they
performed there.
