Veteran Questions
And Answers
Many people seem to think we want them to keep their Long Dis-
tance conversations short, meaning three minutes or less.
We asked you to do this during World War II so that emergency
calls and calls from servicemen could get through. '
Additional telephones for any room in the house are low in cost
—just $1.00 a month, plus tax and a small one time installation
charge. Just call the telephone business office.
Station-to-station rates are lower after 6 p. m. and all day Sunday.
And remember to call by number—it’s twice as fast.
But since then we have added many new Long Distance circuits.
And now you can call whenever you like, and talk as long as you
like.
There’s a lot of truth in saying, “The kitchen is the heart of the
home.” It’s certainly true that a home-maker spends about as much
time in the kitchen as in any other room in the house.
I’ve often thought how interesting it would be to keep a record of
all telephone calls you make in just a single week. Bet it would
surprise most of us a bit to learn how much we depend on the tel-
ephone to make our busy days easier and more enjoyable.
Just a lift of the receiver and you’re in touch with friends, neigh-
bors, family. Or perhaps the telephone “runs errands” for you to
the grocer, drugstore, dry cleaners, or the hardware store.
From time to time, friends tell us how their telephone has come
in handy in an emergency.

Here, the telephone is a “good friend,” in any emergency, big or
small. But maybe a lot of us forget about—or take for granted—
the many routine yet important things that we do every day by tel-
ephone.

There’s another “kitchen helper” I’d like to mention that’s grow-
ing in popularity, too. That’s an additional telephone. Kitchen
phones save time and steps for busy housewives, and make it easier
to keep in touch with friends.

the wassail was a happy cup of cheer
with friends and relations and not a
cocktail festival of public relations.
So as we wearily went our way
home this evening, contemplating the
morn’s early rising and the holiday’s
late fiestas, we are inclined to echo
our British friends’ “Bah.” Christ-
mas past was so very long ago that
there are moments when all of us,
bald and gray, are Scrooges under
the skin.
But we note just the same, in that
London dispatch, that the skin-flinty
old gentleman who cried “Humbug”
the loudest did his snorting as he
lugged home to his grandchildren an
enormous tree in the spirit of Christ-
mas past and Christmas present.—

Q.—I am in college under the Ko-
rean GI Bill, and I have just about
come to the end of my GI entitlement.
If I run out of entitlement before the
end of my semester, will I be allowed
to continue my GI training?
A.—If your GI entitlement runs out
after you’ve passed the half-way
mark of your semester, you will be
permitted to continue under the Ko-
rean GI Bill to the end of the semes-
ter. Otherwist, your GI training will
end when your entitlement expires.
Q.—I hold a World War II GI en-
dowment policy. When it reaches the
end of its endowment period, could I
arrange to receive monthly payments
for the rest of my life?
A.—No. You may, however, choose
either a lump-sum payment, or pay-
ments over a specified period from
three to 20 years.
Q.—I am getting monthly disability
compensation payments from VA
which, I am told, are tax-exempt. If
I save those payments and buy some
property with them, would the prop-
erty also be tax-exempt?
Congressman Lindley Beckworth in
a speech here last week likened our
present uneasy position in world af-
fairs to that of a member of a fam-
ly being ill. He said we would spare
no expense in getting the best med-
ical attention for our loved ones, thus
we should not spare expense in our
race to overcome Russia in outer
space missiles.
The question we’d like to put to
Mr. Beckworth' is this:
If we bankrupt our country in the
process of trying to buy superiority
in the missile field, have we bought
a “cure?” In comparison with a
loved one who is ill, certainly we
would seek the best medical atten-
tion. But we could also burn the

I guess that accounts for the popularity of some of the wonderful
new “Kitchen Helpers,” like dishwashers, waste disposals, and
freezers. No wonder they’re popular! Think of how much drudg-
ery these conveniences save the home-maker.
“My,” sighed the wife, “don’t you
love to watch the sunset?”
“Why?” asked her husband with-
out looking up from his paper.
“What’s it doing now?”

But we can
of reason
our country
and con-
We’re
Community Public Service Company
join in extending you their very best wishes
for the Holiday season.
We have enjoyed serving you during the
last year . . . and look forward to serving you
further in the year to come.
We see by the papers that our
British cousins this year are crying
not only humbug but rebellion at
what the commercialization of
Christmas presents has done to the
Spirit of Christmas past.
And to be sure the complaints, as
reported by the New York Times,
must strike a sympathetic chord on
this side of the ocean. We would not
go so far as to suggest a burning of
every copy of Dickens’ Christmas
Carol but we might not be so averse
to a burning of some of the television
and radio producers who have in-
flicted it upon us in so many guises
—and disguises.
The Christmas card, surely, is one
of the common torments of the Eng-
lish speaking peoples, especially
when there are no more mailing days
to Christmas and the morning post-
man has left four cards from old ac-
quaintances this season left unre-
membered. Any American shares
the Britisher’s shock at the news that
Senator Estes Kefauver has sent 40,-
000 Christmas cards.
Time was, or so it seems in fond
recollection, when Christmas was a
quiet affair. The stockings were
hung without a care for the problem
of the children who have everything;
fulfilling the visions that danced in
their heads had not been made an
expense of torture by the genius of

house down, with our loved one in-
side and effect a cure, too.
Again comparing our nation to a
loved one who is gravely ill, what
happens when we do have illness and
lengthy medical care followed by a
family indebtedness? Do we rush
out and buy a pink, air conditioned
Cadilac, a new color television, and
eat thick steaks and wash them down
with champagne?
No sensible, ethical or responsible
person would do so. He would re-
adust his family budget. He would
reallocate funds from one depart-
ment to the other. He would make
his old last winter suit do another
winter. He would forego eating a
juicy steak two times a week and
substitute salmon croquettes.
We believe our nation’s financing
should be done on the same basis.
But the Liberal element in Washing-
ton has but one solution for every
problem. Raise taxes. Spend more
money. Buy friendship. Buy secur-
ity. Money will cure anything that
ails us.
The Russian accomplishment in
getting a missile into outer space
gives the Liberals a good excuse for
opening the flood gates for another
splurge of spending. With another
spending spree in the offing we are
assured of our currency taking an-
other drastic evaluation drop. Our
life time insurance policy, retirement
pay, life’s savings and accumulations
become devaluated, too.
The boys who cry for more spend-
ing ignore the Hoover commission
report. They overlook the highest
Federal budget in history. They re-
fuse to consider the possibility of re-
allocating funds or cutting expenses
elsewhere, and if needed on the mis-
sile project, use it there. No sir,
we’ve got to spend, spend, spend and
use fear and threat as the wedge to
raise taxes and bring on more infla-
tion.
Yes, we must keep abreast
ahead of the Russians,
do it with some degree
without bankrupting
with wasteful spending
tinued exhorbitant taxation,
just as vulnerable to Communistic
triumph from an economic stand-
point as we are from flying saucerss.
Let us not burn our house down to
get rid of Asiatic flu. Nor burn our
barn to get rid of the rats. Indeed,
let us return to sound reason, sound
financial facts, and protect ourselves
from flying saucers while we also
keep our country solvent. — Clemo
Clements in Panola Watchman.
The brain’s ability to store expe-
riences, many lying below con-
sciousness, has been recognized for
some time. But the extent of this
function, as reported by Dr. Pen-
field, is surprising.
“One must conclude,” he
“that there is hidden away in
brain, a record of the stream of con-
sciousness. It seems to hold the de-
tail of that stream as laid down dur-
ing each man’s waking, conscious
hours.
“Contained in this record are all
those things of which the individual
was once aware; such details as a
man might hope to remember for a
few seconds or minutes afterward,
but which are largely lost to volun-
tary recall after that time. The
things he ignored are absent from
the record.”
A.—No. Tax-exemption do&s not
extend to any property you might buy
with your compensation payments.
The property would be subject to
taxes.
Q.—I am a Korean veteran, and
I’ve been thinking of using my GI
loan rights to buy a house. Is there
any hurry to buy a house, or do
have plenty of time?
A.—You have plenty of time. Ko-
rea veterans have until January 31,,
' 19.65, to take advantage of their GI
loan benefit. World War II veterans
have only until July 25, 1958.
NEW YORK.—Everything you’ve
ever thought, done or said—a com-
plete record of every conscious mo-
ment—is logged in the comprehen-
sive computer of your brain.
You’ll never be able to recall more
than the tiniest fraction of it to
memory. But you’ll never lose it,
either—not this side of death.
These are the findings of
Wilder Penfield, director of
Montreal Neurological Institute
a leading neurosurgeon.
