of a nonservice-connected
disability?
A. No. Under the law,
outpatient rare generally is
limited to veterans who
need it for service-connect-
ed conditions.
Q, liast spring I sold my
home and let the purchaser
take over my (11 loan. That
was before a new law was
passed, releasing veterans
from liability .when the^-
sell Cl homes. Would this
new law covet* me? Could
I now obtain a release from
liability from VA?
A. Yes, the new law
could be applicable, even
though you sold your home
before it was enacted. You
mav »btain a.release from
liah §y, provided the loan
is current and the present
owner assumes liability and
qualifies as a good credit
risk.

strikes. Hens often lay
shell-less, soft-shelled or
thin-shfeiled eggs i^l .rough,
misshapen eggs during and
for weeks and months after
the outbreak. Few flocks
qver regain normal produc-
tion but death loss in adult
birds is not great.
Symptoms.( of infectious
bronchitis are nasal dis-
charge, gasping, coughing
and depressed appetite—
much the same as New-
castle disease. In fact lab-
oratory procedure is the
only way to tell the diseases
apart in the respiratory^
phase.
After the acute respira-
tory phase, nervpu.s symp-
toms that usually follow in
Newcastle are absent in in-
fectious bronchitis. In old-
er birds the nervous symp-
toms are absent in both
Newcastle and infectious
bronchitis which makes the
diagnosis even more diffi-
cult.

Pointing up the need for
your cooperation on his
1956 ‘Mail Early for Christ-
mas’ campaign, Postmaster
Blue!worth says if you will
follow these, three simple
rules, all of your gifts can
be delivered before Chrisi-
mas Day: Wrap them se-
curely, address them cor-
rectly, and mail them early.
Amplifying these rules,
the Postmaster #aid, “Avaid
the risk of mailing poorly
wrapped packages. Use
corrugated mailing carton.;,
plenty of heavy brown
wrapping paper, and be
sure that every package is
tied with strong cord! Car-
tons containing several gift
packages should be stuffed
with tissue or old news-
papers’ to cushion t h e
shocks.” He also reminds
us that siz§ and weight lim-
itations for parcel post
packages vary according to
place of mailing and des-
tination, and advises use to
secure Pamphlet No. 2 at
the Post Office, telling all
about packaging and wrap-
ping parcels for mailing,
and Pamphlet No. 3, giving
complete details on domes-
tic postage rates-and fees.

Caution Umed
In Use of Christmas
Tree Decorations .
Speaking from his Austin
office, J. 0% “Jim” Musick,
general manager of the
Texas Safety Association,
issued a word of Caution to
Texans, today, regarding
Christmas tree decorating
safety.
"Accidents at Christmas
time always seem so much
more tragic,” Musick aaid.
"And this is especially true
if the accidents results in a
fire that costs a family their
home; maybe serious injury
to.oue of the family.”
Musick pointed out that
most of this type of accident
is easily preventable, if only
a few common sense pre-
cautions are taken. As an
example he listed the fol-
lowing eight rules which he
considers "musts” in safe
decorating: «
1. Keep tree outside until
time to trim.
2. Place tree away from
all heating units.
3. Use non-flammable
decorations.
4. Never use candles near
tree.
5. Make sure lights,
sockets arid wiring are in
good condition.
6. Anchor tree, at top,
with wire to prevent it from
falling.
7. Turn off tree lights at
bedtime or when away from
home. 'v- .
8. Dispose of tree safe-
ly; never burn in fireplace.
"Remember,” he con-
cluded. "It takes less than
60 seconds for the average
tree to bum up completely,
so make your Christmas a
bright, one, but with happi-
ness—not with fire.”

spreads rapidly in a flock
because of the short incu-
bation period of 18 to 36
hours. Probably no disease
of chickens spreifds more
rapidly. A.
For protection, poultry-
men should^ employ a de-
pendable vaccine, which
may be given when chicks
are a few hours to a few
days old. Birds should be
revacciriated at least once
before starting to lay. Gdod
sanitation practices and en-
vironmental conditions will
help prevent outbreaks.
