Delay In Receiving
Allowance Checks
Avoided By Navy

Navy headquarters in Jackson
today, pointed out the fact that
dependents of hundreds of Navy
men are embarrassed each month by
lack of funds resulting from fail
ure to receive their checks in pay
ment of family allotments and al
lowances or because the checks
are lost after receipt.
Investigation of these cases dis
closes that many can be avoided
by observation of the following
list of dos and donts which has
been prepared for the benefit of
the Navy mans dependents.
1. The name of the payee should
be plainly visible on the mail box
IF the payee is living with another
family, make certain that his or
her name is on the mail box, even
though ''in care of John Doe" has
been given as part of the address.
2 IF the payee moves, he should
write the postmaster of the city
in which he previously resided, or
if he moves to another address in
the same city, he should write his
present postmaster showing that
the check be forwarded. The pay
ee should also notify the Bureau
of Supplies and Accounts( Family
Allowance Division) of the change
of address, either on the forms
provided for that purpose or by
letter. If the payee receives both al
lotments and family allowance,
bith divisions must be notified.
3. Payees should ask their mail
carriers to notify them when the
checks are delivered. The carrier
can do this for persons living in
large apartment houses by always
ringing the bell in a certain way
each time he delivers the charac-
teristic Government envelopes. For
persons living in rural areas and
small towns, the carrier can no
tify them, if possible, of the check
arrival by blowing his whistle or
by knocking on the door.
4. Checks should be cashed quick
| ly, preferably on the same day they
are received. They shouldn't be car
ried around, and they shouldn't be
left lying carelessly about the
house.
5. The payee should take every
precaution against losing a check
It might take the Government six
months or year to establish that
was actually lost and not stolen
6. All checks should be cashed,
il practicable, at the same place
each month This will simplify l.
Identification.

z. Checks should not be endorsed
at home. IF they are and later are
lost, the payee may not be able
to secure a duplicate check. Checks
should not be endorsed until they
are actually being presented for
payment.
8. The payee should endorse his
own check. If this is impossible be-
cause of illness or inability to write
some responsible friend should be
charged with seeing to it that
all checks are properly endorsed.

be used to re-establish normal
and peaceful world.
Victory must be ours before we
can hope to see an end to the de-
struction of property and the loss
of human life. Everything that
we can do to bring victory more
quickly will mean the saving of
precious lives which mean more to
us than any material things could
possibly mean. It seems hard to
give up certain comforts at the
present time, but it will seem a
very small sacrifice to us the day
that peace comes again to the
world and our loved ones return
home.

The Consequence
OF Influence

Why, if an individual knew w that
everybody admired his singing talent
and that alone, he would only polish
up his voice and keep it polished. |
have heard folk say they admired the
graceful way in which some people
walked. If this were the only attrac-
ton this individual had he would be
concerned only with the way he car
ried himself Some folk attract 9TH
ers by the way they talk, etc. One
individual can attract others by doing
different things. Maybe l am influ-
enced with his personality, another
person is influenced with his soothing
voice and other with the way he
walks, etc.
/ Since oul influence as such reat
magnetic power; power that IS ir-
resistable don't you think it is ex-
p9dient for US 10 try to polish up on
our whole self and not a part of our
self.
/ was walking with gentleman a
few days ago and he handed me a let

The influence this individual had
on this little boy was something to
be recud &c. The influence instilled
into ne life OF little child is some
thing than cannot be rooted up so
easily. Tt behooves us all to watch
ourselves so that our influence with
others, when met face to face will not
be that that we are ashamed Of.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF
INFLU ENCE
BY M. l. LarkiR

From childhood | have always been
told that every individual had cer-
tain amount Of influence with others.
1t was hard for me to see that a
gambler, drunkard, rogue, liar etc.
had any attraction that would influ-
ence others, however, since | have
reached maturity J have found this to
be altogether differ Mt SO often
stop and wonder if environment is
really greater than heredity.
Since we all Influence others and
naturally So, why not try to influence
them in a way that we can feel proud =?
Some might say, "wcA, il / just knew
what it was a9out me that attracted
ce tam folks would polish UP on
