Huffman
Building At
Halfway Point
Construction of anew air
conditioned auditorium at
the First Baptist Church in
Huffman is halfway com-
plete, it was announced this
week by Norman Diehl,
pastor of the church.
The new building, to seat
264 people, will also have
central heating. Diehl said
a seven-year-old education
building is being remodel-
ed to match the new audi-
torium.
The church voted to build
the new auditorium on
Feb. 6. Work was started
the next day. Diehl said
work should be completed
within about another month
and dedication should be in
the next six weeks. He said
the building is brick and
masonry.
“The people of the
church see a growing need
and want to meet the de-
mand,’’ Diehl said.

When the first high-compression
Rocket Engine was introduced by
Oldsmobile, it virtually rewrote the
book on performance. And, today,
the 5rMillionth Rocket adds a bril-
liant new chapter to Oldsmobile’s
continuing story of engineering
leadership! New highs in smooth-
ness, unprecedented quietness,
sparkling response—-the Rocket
delivers them all! That’s why mil-

nothing like a Rocket!

VETERANS
Q — Does the Veterans
Administration Depart-
ment of Medicine and Sur-
gery engage in medical re-
search?
A — Yes. During fiscal
year 1962 there were medi-
cal research programs in
133 VA hospitals, five re-
gional offices, and three
outpatient clinics. More
than 5,000 professional and
scientific publications and
presentations resulted
from medical research
during the year.
Q —Should a veteran who
wishes to be buried in a
national cemetery apply to
the VA to be sure of having
space reserved?
A — No. Application
should be made at the time
of the death of the veteran.
The gravesites are not re-
served in advance of im-
mediate requirement.
Q — At what age does
a war orphan become in-
eligible for VA educational
assistance?
A — Generally, the age
is between 18 and 23 when
war orphans start receiv-
ing assistance. In some
cases the 23 limit is over-
looked, but in no case may
schooling be continued be-
yond the 31st birthday of
the beneficiary.
Q — What is the pre-
sent maximum amount of
a GI home loan the Vete-
rans Administration will
guarantee?
A — That part of a GI
home loan guaranteed by
the government may be up
to 60 percent of the amount
of the loan or not more
than $7,500. The limit on
direct loans made when no
loans from private lenders
are available is $15,000.
Q — Are many veterans
of the Spanish-American
War still alive?
A -- The most recent re-
port shows that more than
25,000 veterans of the
Spanish-American War are
still living.
Q — How many veterans
are being treated at pri-
vate hospitals at VA ex-
pense?
A — The VA estimates
that approximately 2,800
veterans are hospitalized
in private hospitals at
government expense.
As we keep or break the
Sabbath, we nobly save or
meanly lose the last best
hope by which man rihes.
