VETERANS GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

entitled each week to the difference between what you earn and $23.
 All unemployment pay stops five years after the war ends.
 Another angle: you won't get un- employment pay if your job is suit able" and you simply cuit without good cause, or are fired for miscon- duct, or if you join a strike. Nor will you get such pay if you won't take a suitable job when it's offer ed, or if you won't take an available free training course while you're out of work.
 Finally, if you are working for yourself and you don't earn neD $100 in any one month, you can apply the next month for payment of the difference between what you did earn and $l00 There are some pe- culiarities about this self-employ- ment guaranty of $100 a month which I will report later.

WASHINGTON Already there is much misunderstanding about benefits for veterans. New rights later developments, and more veter- ! ans by the millions will confuse the future before it becomes clear. I Anyone who reads the service mems readjustment law now gen. orally called the GI Bill of Rights is likely to become exhausted by his wrestle with its whereas wording its "provideds,' provided howevers, and "notwithstandings.'
 This probably accounts for several attempts to give ex-servicemen a helping hand by issuance of simpli- fled booklets = digests of the bene- fits available to veterans One of these is an official U. s. government booklet issued by the ''Retraining and reemployment Administration, Office of War Mobilization Even this government booklet admits that large book would be needed to answer all the questions - and then might not he up-to-date when you got it.
 Many CT Bill Qf Rights terms are as confusing as it's terminology. For example: "readjustment allowances. "
 Whats readjustment allowance? It's just plain unemployment pay. How do you get it? The bill doesn't say - it just says you are entitled to it.
 None of the benefits due you as veteran will come to you. You must go after them. It's like that constitutional guarantee of the pur- suit of happiness you have to catch up with it yourself.
 First qualification for this unem- ployment pay is CD that you must i te a veteran of at least 90 days service and that you don't hold a dishonorable discharge, or @ that you were released because of an in- jury or disability incurred in service in line of duty. No one else is en- titled to this particular unemploy- ment pay.
 Let's assume you qualify thus far - and you lose your job, or are em- ployed part-time at something un- der S23 a week. If this happens within two years after your service discharge, CT within two years af- ter the wars end which ever is later you should go to the near est public employment office, regis ! ter there, and continue to report there as directed. At the same time you apply there for veterans unem- ployment pay.

Coolidge Fire Department was out
lined Tuesday night before the city
council by Fire Chief Ray Snider
who requested permission TO trans
fer $4,000 for the fire fund TO a
construction fund. Action by the
council was deferred pending re-
ceipt of a ruling from the county
attorney since the fund in ques-
tion was originally the property
OF the fire district prior TO the
incorporation OF Coolidge.
While the new quarters which
would be erected at the rear of
the present fire station in the city
park would be used for living
quarters for one or more members
OF the fire department the prob
ability OF the addition being used
temporarily as an office for the
city clerk was discussed.
A second police officer was
authorized by the council with the
selection OF Leo HOchstetter at a
salary OF 5000 monthly. At present
the new officer is a provost ser
geant at Florence Prisoner OF War
Camp where he expects 10 receive
bis discharge early next week. The
sergeant has had many years OF
experience in his work.
Following brief discussion of
the need for an ordinance TO reg

and other livestock within the city
limits members OF the council e1-
pressed the desire 10 hear from
Coolidge residents personally. The
council has had many complaints
from neighbors of people who keep
