•tor's parlor Friday evening and tho
talk turned to tho boat way of over*
coming a)eeplooanoaa...like breath*
tag roal alow and deep, imagining
that yon weigh a ton. or almply
throwing away the pillow.
The consensus favored counting
aheop. But right away was the
question: what kind of sheep?
There were some votes for countin'
Merinos. Shropshires, Oxfords and
Dorsets. Ed Mapes said he had best
luck counting crossbreeds.
Finally, Bert Childers spoke up
with his formula! A light snadt
•nd a mellow glass of boor at bod«
time. Sort of puts you in the mood
for quiet thoughts and peace of
mind. Lota you relax . . . and "ho
hum," off to pleasant dreamal
From where I sit, there's noth-
ing like a temperate glasi of beer
to smooth away the creases of tho
day, relax a body, and pave the
way for a good night's sleep. Try
It, and see if I'm not right.

VA defines a veteran's family
as a family unit, living together
and headed by a veteran. On the
basis of this definition, VA com
putec the following estimates of
the number of veterans and mem-
bers of their families for 1947.
1952, and 1957:
January 1, 1947— 46,000,000.
January 1, 1952—62,300,000.
January 1, 1957—62,500,000.
