Job on the wPA there:
MRS J. Y. b.
He would have to live there
three years without any kind Of
relief before he would have salts
fled the residence requirements
for relief in Oregon, just like an
ordinary citizen.
MIR. FIrIt: would like to
know n you could tell me u =
Canadian vet ut his death. II
since the war he has become An
American citizen, receives any
thing Hike the American vet. I
mean snch ~ m allowance for
his burial. The u. y. govern
meut allows 500. You said one
time that no widow. Of Ameri-
can vets Of the World War re-
ceived pensions. I think. You
will find they do N the vet was

tain per cent. II Was 10 per
cent, hut I think II 10 less now,

VET.
Canadian provisions for war
veterans were not as generous
a. ours. We find no evidence
that a Canadian vet in the
United States would get any
burial grant.
Whether we said so or not,
there are pensions TO widows OF
war-injured veterans. II the
mans death Is due To his war
disability. the widow receives a
basic pension Of $40 per month.
Regardless of the cause Of death,
the amount is S22 per month.
Many other details which might
interest you can be learned from
the local chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross
Mr.. Fixit: subscribed for
some magazines. I am getting
American Home hut would like
10 get Woman's World instead.
Where would I write toe
MRS. X. r.
You can't expect to make
trade like that when the maya
zines are published by different
companies. American Home is
published at 444 Madison ave-.
and woman's World at 461 sth
ave, both in New York. II you
bought from an agent, your dis
pute is with him.
MIR. Fixit: The new law takes
property Of deceased old age
pensioners TO repay the pension
given. II there IL n mortgage
on the property. 10 that mort
gage paid before the pension
can be taken out of the prop
erty, or does the o. A. r. claim
take precedence:
NJ. r. g..
Elma.
As we understand it, the
states claim for old age assist
ance paid Is the first claim
against debts of the person
after debts against the prop
erty, like mortgages. have been
paid. The states claim would
come before such debts as the
grocery bill the man might have
contracted and before award of
any of the estate to the PEN
sioner's heirs.
Mr.. Fixit: Il there anything
that can be done In this state
10 first cousins who 70 TO an
other state to be married and
then return here: READER.
This state prohibits marriage
of first cousins, but since it
must respect laws of other
states, must accept a marriage
which is legal in another one.
Recognition of such marriages
Is on the same basis as recog-
milton of short residence divorces
such as those in Nevada.
Mr.. Ffxit: Where Ia the near

A READER.

Holly slips should be cut in
August. Earlier than that the

OF sand and peat.
