AACAG nave DSS11 81 Iiidlly QuGS-
tions about what the veteran needs
to do to obtain the benefits provid-
ed by the Government for those who
served in the Armed Forces and now
have returned to their homes, and
because of the increased operations
of certain pressure groups, Mr.. w.
L. Limburg, Manager, Baltimore
Regional Office of the Veterans Ad-
ministration, has authorized the pub
LEGATION of the following pertinent
questions and answers, covering the
subject.
Question: Must a veteran have a
lawyer to make a claim against the
Government through the Veterans
Administration?
Answer: Not at all. Veterans Ad-
ministration employees have been
trained to render this service - to
assist claimants in the preparation
or presentation of claims in all Vet
Grams Administration offices. While
any claimant has the right to employ
his own attorney or agent to assist
him, it isn't necessary that expense
be incurred by the veteran in MAX
ing claims under laws administered
by the Veterans Administration.
Question: Must a veteran appear
in person to make his own claim?
Answer: That isn't necessary,
though it is often best. A person
may present his or her own claim,
but a relative or friend may be
recognized as a representative of the
claimant if the veteran has given
written authority for such action.
The veteran also must certify that
no payment of any nature is to be
made for the services rendered. The
relative or friend also should sign a
similar statement.
Question: Who else is authorized
to represent veterans in making
other than recognized
authorities, agents, relatives or
friends?
Answer: Congress gave the Ad-
of Veterans Affairs
to recognize representa-
tives of certain organizations APP
proved by him. These accredited
representatives are empowered to
present claims for veterans, but
there must be a certificate filed in
the Veterans Administration stating
that no fees or compensation of any
nature shall be charged veterans
for services rendered. Before an or
5anization may be recognized in in
1ividual claims, there must be filed |
with the Veterans Administration a
form executed by the claimant and |
specifically comforting upon the or
5anization the authority to represent |
he claimant in the presentation of |
he claim and to receive any in
formation in connection with the
,laim.
Question; Isn't such information
public property? Why must the vet
eran give authorization for informa-
ion to be made public?
Answer: Such information def
litely is not public property. 1t is
classified as confidential and privi-
eyed. The only thing which may be
made public is the amount of pen
ion or compensation being paid.
This may be divulged to anyone
making a request. Even the address
# a claimant or beneficiary of the
Veterans Administration is conf J.

First Paper Made In Maryland
A correspondent of the Baltimore
County Wing, writing in July, 1858
from Finksburg Carroll County,
said:
"The Sixth District of Baltimore
County may, with propriety, be de-
nominated the making dis
trict. There are ten paper mills now
in successful operation in the dis
trict, with the eleventh now build
ing and the twelfth contemplated
The first paper to be manufactured
in Maryland was made in this dis
trict about eighty years ago (1773),
in response to proclamation by the
Governor of the State, offering a
reward of 1000 acres of land for
the first ream of paper manufactured
in Maryland It came about in this
way:
''Mr. William Hoffman, native
of Germany, was then in the act
of building a paper mill on the banks
of the Big Gunpowder, near the
Pennsylvania line, and Mr.. Stout
fer was constructing a similar estab-
lishment in Frederick County. Stout
fer was so far ahead of Hoffman,
having his engine for grinding the
rags nearly done, that he felt no
uneasiness and was confident of re-
ceiving the reward offered. In the
meantime, however, Hoffman sus-
pended his building operations and
put up temporary concern for
pounding the rags into pulp, in
stead of grinding them. With this
makeshift he made a ream of paper,
put it into his saddle bags, forthwith
repaired to the seat of government
and bore off the premium, thus Civ
ing to Baltimore County the first
paper made in the state.
The relics of this ancient rag
FOUNDER could still be seen at the
mill in 1858"

methods Of salvage. They did the
"best job possible" he said.
Mr.. Walker praised the school

ers," Boy and Girl Scouts, and Girl
Reserves.
To the Army and Navy, who lent
trucks, and the Police and Fire
Departments, Mr.. Walker also pS.~
special tribute.

ent of the Refuse Department, which
carried a major share" of the sal
wage collection problems, also wor
high praise.
