IS PAYING YOU
RIG DIVIDENDS EVERY DAY...
Aliens who served in the Armed
forces of the United States during
World War II have less than three
months left to qualify for quick
citizenship under the Second War
Powers Act of 1942, the Veterans
Administration warned this week.
The act expires on December 81,
1940, and affects all aliens who en-
listed or were inducted into the ser-
vice before December 28, 1945.
Recent reports indicste that ap-
proximately 100,000 service-men
and veterans have failed to take
advantage of the right to obtain
American citizenship as provided
under the Act.
Those affected are not required
to file the customary declaration of
intention, need not have lived in
the United States for any specified
time, are not required to speak the
English language or meet educa-
tional tests.
Honorably discharged aliens who
wish to take advantage of the law
should apply to the nearest office
of the Immigration and Naturali-
zation Service or inquire at their
nearest VA office.

NA^HILE other systems promise people the
good things of life, our American free enter-
prise system actually provides them.
The same economic system which in only
one hundred and seventy years has helped
make our country the mightiest on earth is
heaping benefits on you every day which
no other peoplo enjoy anywhere.
It's good to count one's blessings occasion-
ally and to realize that other pastures may
not be greener. The food you eat, the home
you live in, the comforts and luxuries you
and your family enjoy are yours because
you've earned them under a system which
places the rights of the individual first, pro-
viding unlimited opportunities to every man.
So long as labor and management work
together to perpetuate our system of com-
petitive free enterprise you'll continue to
gain its rich dividends.

Q. I served only four months in
the army before I got a dependency
discharge. Now I'm in need of an
operation. Am I eligible to enter a
Veteruns hospital?
A. Yez, any veteran is eligible
for hospitalization at a VA hospital
providing he served at least 90 days
in the armed forces and that his
discharge is other than dishonor-
able. However, to be treated for
non-service connected ailments, you
must sign a statement that you as-
financially unable to pay for pri-
vate treatment.
Q. Can a veteran be cared for in
a private hospital at the expense
of the government?
A. Yes, provided the ailment wa-
incurred in or aggravated by ser-
vice in the armed forces and prior
authorization is obtained from VA
Regional office. In the case of fe
male veterans, the ailment need
not be service-connected.
Q. Can I be treated at a VA hos-
pital for malaria that didn't evi-
dence itself until after I was dis-
charged from the Army?
A. Yes, the VA rules that ma-
laria may be service-connected even
though no attacks occurred prior
to the veteran’s release from ser-
vice. Therefore, you may be hos-
pitalized in a private hospital if an
emergency or in a VA hospital.
Out-patient medical treatment may
also be authoirzed. If your illness
is serious enough, you may also
file a disability claim.
Q. Is a veteran’s family entitle!
to care in a VA hospital?
A. Not unless they have attain-
ed eligibility in their own right by
reason of service in the armed
forces.
Q. May I be furnished a wheel
chair by the VA?
A. Yes, if you have a service-
connected disability requiring the
use of one.
J. May an honorably discharged
member of the WAC obtain hos-
pital treatment and domiciliary care
in a VA facility?
A. Yes. Former members of the
Natural Gas Reserve#
In U. S. Estimated
At 148 Trillion Feet
In a report filed October 7 at the
twenty-eighth annual convention of
the American Gas Association, N.
C. McGowan, of Shreveport, presi-
dent of United Gas Corporation and
head of the AGA committee on nat-
ural gas reserve'', reported that his
group hud determined the proved
recoverable reserves in the United
States are approximately 148 tril-
lion feet.
In presenting the report, Mr. Me-
Gowen stated that these reserves
occur in three major forms: non-
ussociated or free gas not in con-
tact with crude oil in the reservoir,
111 trillion cubic feet; associated
gas or free gas in immediate con-
tact with crude oil in the reservoir.
20 trillion cubic feet and dissolved
gas or gas in solution in the reser-
voir, estimated at 117 trillion cubic
feet. All volumes were calculated on
a pressure base of 14.65 pounds per
square inch, absolute, and at *
standard temperature of 60 degrees
Fahrenheit. Mr. McGowen added
that recovery factors and abandon-
ment conditions are as widely var-
iant as are the individual field char-
acteristics.
WAC, as well as any other women’s
organization in the armed forces,
are entitled to the same treatment
as male veterans.
