Still, he had tc answer that ques-
tion. Was he financially able TO
pay? Jack got to figuring this way:
be was able to pay, but he wasn't
financially able. Because he had a
mortgage on his house, he had a wife
and kid, and he'd practically have
to go in hook If he put out money
fer his operation and hospisaliza-
zion.
So he answered NO and turn

his disqualification and operation.
I'll do my best to bore you with a
little more of Form PHO in later

gun in telling about an able-bodied
service man seeking free medical
care in " A. hospital, because the
disabled men come first.
That's because an order of pref

WASHINGTON = Maybe some OF
you who have gone out of the SER
vice to the hazards of civilian life
dent understand that laws have set
up a system of medical care for all
veterans.
The Veterans Administrator op-
crates a huge medical system. Most
of the hospitals of the system are
elaborate and seemingly substan-
tial, and these are the places where
veterans can get medical care when
badly needed.
There are limitations and we've
get to be aware Of them The medi-
cal care program isn't a complete,
free scheme. Yet, in way, it comes
within bombing range of being a
plan to mother our health the rest
of our lives.

working at a nice-paying job and
gradually began to realize he'd bet
