VETERANS CANNOT GET
 SURPLUS FOR OWN NEEDS

Many veterans have been told they can purchase surplus property through the Smaller War Plants Corporation for personal use. This is not the case, as all properties pur- chased through SWPC must be for business purposes.
 There has been no provision made by the government so far to take care of the veteran who wants to buy-say jeep for personal use, or for recreational purpose.
 Veterans established in business may be able to qualify as dealer with the Department of Commerce, and in this case they can make pur- chases through this agency. How ever, they would not have the right of a government agency priority.

WASHINGTON - The last two articles have been about vocational rehabilitation Ctraining or education under Public Law 16). I haven't finished with that subject, so next time I'll continue with it. But par don me if I interrupt myself here for a moment, while I make this a Question and Answer day.
 Question from E.WBo Decatur Ill. I have been inducted under the work or fight" law Could you tell me if I will be included in the pro visions of the CT Bill of Rights? In short. when I get discharged, will l be considered the same as any other man not inducted under the work CT fight law?
 As fiction and the movies are fond of saying-don't worry; every thing will be all right. When you get out, you1l have the same rights as any other veteran.
 P. A. F., Slater. Mo, asks about a veterans rights to buy surplus War Property and how to do it.
 First, write to the Surplus Prop erty Division, Smaller War Plants Corporation, 101 Indiana Ave, Washington, D. c. Ask them for the location of the nearest SWPC district offioe-there are about hundred of these.
 Second, go to the district office, if you can. If not, write. You want to file an application for the surplus war property you need with the district office That office is supposed to buy the property for you and then sell it to you at no profit.
 At this point. it may begin to feel like someone is smacking the top of your head with six-foot gavel, because you will meet diff culties. You have to show that what you want to buy is needed in your business. You cans buy an automo- bile or jeep or anything just be- cause you'd like to have it.
 Also, maybe the SWPC won't be able to get hold of just what you want Besides, an eX-service man can't buy mere than S2,500 worth of stuff, anyway.

vETERANS' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

turned to work with my old firm. But the company takes the attitude that a leave of absence for the armed forces is the same as an ex- tenGed vacation, or for a course of study, and that a person is not en- titled to a vacation until he has been back at work for at least 12 months. He wants to know why he doesn't rate a vacation.
 Well, there isn't any law that gives him a vacation. A vacation for an ex-service man who has gone back to his old firm tor even has taken a new job is entirely a problem to be decided by each individual employer. Purely a matter of com pany policy.
 A former member of the WAAC asks if she rates mastering out pay
 The WAAC was not part of the Army. So women discharged from the WAAC are not entitled to mus tering cut pay unless they were dis charged for physical disability.
 If, however, they actually had transferred to the WAC "a part of the Army) and were then discharged they would be able to get mastering cut pay if otherwise qualified, since WACs are entitled.
 Since February 3, 1914, all quali- fled veterans, upon discharge, have been given mastering out pay. If you were discharged before that date and haven't your mastering out pay, you should apply for it-Adjut- ant Generals Office or Navy Dept, Bureau of Personnel.
 If you are one of those who were discharged over age to take a job in essential industry, you can't get mastering out pay.

Every Baby Born
In State Should
Be Registered

The war has demonstrated be-
You'd all doubt the value of the
birth certificate, according to DR.
R. N. Whitfield of the state health
department, who called attention
to several reasons for. the neces-
sity of clustering the birth of ev-
cry baby born in Mississippi
In addition to proving age, citi-
zenship, parentage, and other i'm
portant items, birth records are
required TO many othe reasons, .
said DR.. Whitfield. "A birth GER
tificate in necessary in order to
obtain position not only in in
dustries manufacturing materials
of war but in other industries and
in many business offices. 1t is need
ed for officers commissions, for
soldier allotments, for government
insurance and for proving eligi-
bility for the benefits of Social Sc
curity."
Good community pla' ing for the
health and care of cur children
starts with the registration at
birth of all babies r Whitfield
said. He urged all ents to make
sure that the bi of each baby
is registered prol pity, since de-
lay often means that information
furnished months or years after
ward may not be accurate or COM
plete. Many thousands of such
records filed after the registration
law became operative were so full
of eros that they wee practically
useless. Much personal inconveni-
ence and trouble could have been
avoided had parents seen to it that
births were recorded promptly"
