13-year old white girl, was
paroled Saturday from the Mich

Mentally Disabled Veterans
and Their Guardians

or if there is no wife, guardian
is appointed in accordance with
the States laws.
This appointment of guard
ian often involves going to
court. Under certain circum-
stances the VA pays these initial
court expenses.
If there is an accumulation OF
funds beyond the veterans
needs, the guardian is advised TO
invest them in accordance with
State laws. The majority invest
in government bonds.
The VA checks TO see that the
guardian has made truthful
report and that the veterans
Federal income is being proper
~ used.
If a guardian embezzleS
veterans funds, il is a punish
able Federal and State offense.
Very often a bank or trust
company is named guardian for
a veterans money. In this way
so much is regularly paid out
by the bank to the person TAX
ing care of the veteran and the
balance is invested for the vet
eran.
There are various methods of
payment when veteran is kept
in a hospital, depending upon
the number Of his dependents if
any.
When any survivor or depend
ent of veteran-due Federal
pay because Of his disability-is
found insane, a guardian is ap-
pointed.
The VA tries to avoid court
appointment of a guardian for
a minor child whose soldier
father has been killed or died.
This is done by recognizing AS
custodian the person usually
the mother or grandmother -
taking care of the child.
All of this guardianship pro-
gram is under the solicitor of
the VA. Anyone wishing further
information on this should APP
ply to the nearest VA regional
office.

- II he's drawing government

tirement pay the government
protects the money interests OF
an insane war veteran.
And if they are getting gov
eminent money as a result OF ms
military service, this protection
also extends 70:
/. A veterans insane surviV-
ors or dependents.
2. A veterans minor children.
The Government doesn't make
payments to minor children.
The protection starts with the
Veterans Administration (VA)
guardianship service. 1t was es-
tablished by law in 1926. 1t
works like this:
PROCEDURE
Private Jones is released from
military service as mentally dis
abled. For that disability, he
asks for a pension. Or someone
asks for him.
His request goes to special
eva rating board which in
cludes a doctor and lawyer. The
Board could call him in person
ally. But most of the time it
makes its decision on his mill
tary medical record.
The Board decides he Is men
tally incompetent and is entitled
: to a pension. This information is
given to the chief attorney in
the VA regional office nearest
Jones home.
Then the chief attorney inves-
tigates Jones, his family and So
cial life, his job if he's working,
and his ability to handle money.
If the attorney decides that
Jones can handle his funds in
reasonably prudent manner, he
is paid directly by the VA what
ever pension is due him.
But if the attorney decides
that Jones is mentally incapable
of handling his money, then a
way is sought to make the pay
ments so he will benefit by
them.

ranging from Greek tragedy to

best-sellers, "A Tree Grows in
Brooklyn" and "A Bell for
Adano," are already talking
books, as we'll as many classics.
The listener can go in for bird
lore or Walter Lippmann.
Mrs. Louise Maurer, talking
book librarian and constant
reader in charge of the project,
says the talking-book collection
built up over the first ten years
of the project is only an embryo,
but it's beginning to grow up
with more money to spend from
this years half million dollar APP
preparation for Library of Con-
gress blind services.
Fiscal year 1943 added $50
titles to the library in contrast
to only 35 in 1889. In selecting
these titles, Miss Maurer had
suggestions from blind listeners,
bookmen, and other interested
persons all over the country. She
skinned the entire publishing
output, sent books off to library
experts for review, finally sub
mitted lists to book selecting
committees made up of librar-
ians, special subject advisers
and prominent bookmen.

er and bigger battles ahead. Any
one who reads the newspapers
ought to know that"
But the news reporters here,
who probably read the newspa-
pers more avidly than any group
in this country, cannot see how
the war department expects the
public to see anything but early
victory in the air, when the news
stories are concerned almost en-
tirely with the power and sue
cess of the Allies and the weak
ening of the enemy. One prom
inent reporter said that if the
war department has good reason
to- expect the war to last longer
than the public anticipates, it
must have information it is hold
ing back which should be releas-
ed at once. On the other hand,
there are others who blame the
newspapers and radio for making
every small step toward victory
appear to be a major triumph.
But there is no question that
war work must be continued I'm
til actual victory arrives and steps
must be taken to prevent war
workers from laying down on the
job.
The great interest in the coming
election is expected to be another
serious handicap to war work.
With the labor unions actively
engaged in campaigning, with
certain industrial leaders "play-
ing politics." and with congress-
men concentrating most of their
attention on the ballot box, there
is almost bound to be a slow
down in production. And there
is no one here who believes con-
gress would be willing to pass
any legislation, until after the
election, aimed at forcing men to
stay on the job.
When congress reconvenes next
month, unless there are emer-
gency conditions which demand
action, it is expected that the re-
converting will be little more than
a formality and that most con-
gressmen will 60 back home to
continue political campaigning
during the fall.

Washington, D. c. = "Peace
filters" and political heebie-
jeebies" are the chief worries of
the war administrators here, who
feel that these two infections of
the national blood stream are 60
ing to cause serious disruption on
the home front unless strong &C
ton is taken to deal with them.
The peace filters" term was
used by Robert Patterson, acting
secretary of war, who in recent
press conference, said they alrea-
dy have affected war production
and may affect it more seriously
in the near future. Mr.. Patter-
son described peace filters" as a
state of mind inspired by the false
belief that the war is about to
end. He said that the trend among
war workers to try to establish
themselves in peacetime pursuits
at this time is alarming and said
that there already is a shortage of
over 100000 men in war indus
tries.
Mr.. Patterson added that many
leaders feel the war department
has failed to get over to the pub
lie the true picture of what war
effort" really means and think
that it may be impossible to teach
civilians the Importance of war
work without their seeing what is
going on at the war fronts. 1t is
possible moving pictures may be
used more extensively to try to
bring this home to the people. At
present, such films are being
shown each month to 100000 to
100000 war workers and Mr..
Patterson believes the results
have been helpful with that
group.
The peace filters" psychology
was considerably stimulated by
the attempt to kill Hitler, the re-
ports of revolt in Germany and
in the German army, the success
ses of all Allied armies, the
changes in the japanese war COM
mand and the hints of peace
feelers being attributed to the
japanese. But the war depart
ment holds no illusions about any
of these developments resulting
in peace before we have fought
many hard and bloody battles.
One official at Mr.. Patterson's
conference said There are tough

OBITUARY
WILLIAM M. DOLLINGER

William Myrtle Dollinger was
born on October 10, 1888 and de-
parted this life, July 8, 1914,
making his stay on earth SIS years,
8 months and % days. He was
married to Miss Nora Francis on
June 16, 1915 and for 20 years
they lived happily together, shar-
ing the joys and sorrows of life
as husband and wife. To this
union were born two daughters,
Mrs. Beatrice Johnson, of Berke-
ley, Calf, and Miss Glenna Dol
linger, of Grassy Creek.
Besides his loving wife and two
daughters, he leaves a dear mo-
Their, Mrs. Catherine Dollinger,
of Chilhowie, Va, and host Of
friends to mourn his going, but
we feel that our loss is his eternal
gain.
He accepted Christ as his per-
sona1 saviour in the year of 1885
and held true to his faith in God
and Christ his Saviour, until
claimed in death. He often spoke
of his Affections and suffering
here, and no doubt looked for
ward to the time of his release
from the body of pain. He told
his friends and loved ones of the
beautiful home awaiting him and
told them there was nothing in
his way.
While at the hospital, he seemed
to feel his stay on earth was short
and his mind was on heavenly
things. He reached out his hand
to his doctor and said, doctor
Woodruff, will you meet me in
heaven" The doctor answered
him and said, 'Dollinger, I'll
meet you over there"
He was one of our best citizens
and stood for the highest ideals
of life, lending his assistance in
helping to make his community a
better place in which to live. He
was deeply interested in his
family and no doubt made great
sacrifices in order to provide for
them the comforts of life.
In the last hours of his life he
would pray for the dear Lord to
release him from this body of
pain, and we feel that his prayers
were answered and that he is
resting where pain can never
come.

Rev. William E. Denny.

Chestnut Wood
Needed In War
Used In Tanning Of Leather
For Shoes For Men In
Service

Because it's a war need-and it
is need, for the Army boys will
not carry a gun far unless they
have shoes to wear and that is
why Chestnut wood, this old, dead
chestnut wood, is one of the es-
sential war needs today, and to
meet this need a ceiling cash price
of $1,000 per cord unit has been
fixed by our government as pay
ment for this wood delivered to
the mill of Wilkes Extract Works
at North Wilkesboro, N. c., where
it is used to make tanning ma
terial for sole leather for army
shoes, and other folks will be
needing shoes again some of these
days. And the more dead chestnut
wood that can be put to the mill,
the more leather we will have to
make shoes with.
Lumber is also a war need and
being produced in large quantities
but not being used for home
building, and when the war is
over there will be lumber mar
ket years to come for home use,
but not so with chestnut wood.
No market for that then. What
you will have will be the insight
ly dead chestnut wood as a fire
menace to your other land. So get
this wood to market now and get
your money for it while it can be
used by the Wilkes Extract Works,
North Wilkesboro, N. C. Advt.
