When fertilizer in large amounts

Asking Veterans Pensions
Equal to WPA Wages.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars have
prepared several bills to be introduced
in the congress now in session. Mea-
sures prepared for introduction accord
ing to the national legislative commit
tee and National Commander Reisch
are:
Allowing the sum of $50 per month
each to approximately a, 900 permanent
ly disabled veterans who at present are
receiving only $50 per month. 1.-THE
great majority of these men are mar
ried" said Commander Reisch, land
have families to support. The v. F. W.
demand OF $50 minimum for the veter-
ans in question Is based on the gov
ernment's own standards of what con-
stituteS subsistence sum.
"Non-veterans employed by the W.
P. A. or who are on government relief
rolls are not expected to live and
support their families on the $50 per
month Uncle Sam allows these $4,000
permanently disabled war veterans. Is
it not reasonable for us to demand that
these veterans and their dependents be
accorded treatment more nearly ap-
proximating that accorded other needy
Americana" asked Commander Reisch.
Other measures to be introduced will
include pensions for needy widows and
orphans of all war veterans; Jobs or
pensions for all veterans; greater pro-
lection of the United States against
the inroadS of Communism, Fascism and
Naziism; an adequate national defense
and permanent neutrality for the
United States, says the adjutant of

Winter Blizzard Warns
Telephone Switchboard.

Hector-Operators at the switchboard
of the local telephone company wore
gloves while on duty one day recently
and 1t was not because their hands were
cold In spite of the blizzard and the
sub-zero weather, they were wearing
gloves because of the heat. Due to the
blizzard the telephone company ex-
perienced virtual traffic jam at its
switchboard and when the telephone
traffic was at its height, the operators
were hampered by the appearance of a
heavy charge of winter static which
continued throughout the night and the
early morning hours. The static charge
accumulated to the extent that the rural
lines, where they entered the switch
board, carried voltage as high as $50
volts, actually more than three times
that carried by the ordinary electric
line entering a house. The telephone
switch lines were hot enough to really
cause burns, and operators were obliged
to wear gloves when making connec-
lions at the switchboard
