In the evening we found her there, knee

would have done about her eventually we

We were left with the problem of her
orphan lamb, Bamble. and as we had three
half-gown puppies it seemed simple to tuck
Bamble in with them So we did.
But finally came the day when we had

 On Insurance
 Vets Paying by Mail
 Must Identify Selves

Veterans paying their National Service Life Insurance premiums by mail to the Boston branch office of the Veterans Administration were advised today by Arthur M. Gray son, VA. insurance officer for Con- necticut, to identify themselves, completely.
 Grayson pointed out that more than one million dollars of uniden- tified insurance premium remit tances were received at the Boston branch office during the past six months.
 Tn some cases" Grayson stated, 'the veterans even fail to furnish their names when sending insur- ance premium payments. In other cases, veterans neglect to furnish their addresses, and since there are many veterans with identical names, it is impossible to determine the identity of such remittors.
 "In order that NS.LI. records may be kept properly by the VA, veterans mailing in premium pay mentS should furnish complete iden- tification, and, whenever possible, should indicate their correct insur- ance policy number.
 Tn the absence of the policy number, the veteran should send his full name, address, date of birth, branch of service, service serial number, amount of insurance in- volved, and information as to whether the remittance is to cover a monthly premium payment or payment of premiums for longer period" Grayson said.

 EIiqibIes to Join

There are approximately 3,476 dis abled veterans of World War II in Waterbury, it. was estimated today by Lloyd P. Oleson of Ventura, Cal. national commander of the Disabled American Veterans.
 Oleson based his estimate on the number of disabled veterans here on a percapita average that has been worked out by the D.A.V., which is chartered by Congress as the of ficial voice of Americas wartime disabled.
 The D.A.V. national commander made a special plea to disabled vet terans to affiliate with a D.A.V. chapter in this city. Veterans who have been wounded, .gassed. or dis abled in any degree while serving in the armed forces during time of war are eligible for membership. Veterans of all wars are members.
 There are more than 1900 chap ters of the D.AV. throughout the nation. Both men and women are eligible for membership.
 There are five reasons" Oleson said, why disabled veteran should be 8 member of the Disabled Amer ican Veterans. They are:
 T. Disabled veterans can be of benefit to each other by discussing problems and handicaps that have been overcome.
 "2. The D.AV. offerS-free of charge-assistance in adjudication of claims and in obtaining govern ment benefits.
 8. Through the D.A.V. the dis abled veteran helps work for ben- eficial legislation both locally and nationally.
 A. A local chapter of the D.A.V. can be very helpful in developing an employment program for dis abled veterans by urging selective placement, on-the-job training, and pointing out that disabled veterans are valuable employees
 "5. Through chapter meetings and get-togethers, men who have been disabled have a common inter- est" :.
 Oleson said complete information about the D.AV. can be- obtained by contracting local chapter or writing to National Adjutant Vivian D. Corbly, national D.A.V. head-- quarters, 1423 E. McMillan Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.
 The DA.V., Oleson said, main- tains the largest staff of nationally paid service officers of any vet erans' organization. During the past IA years the D.AV. has handled more than 900,000 claims, obtained 160, GOO medical examinations, and established disability compensation benefits in excess of $1OO,O0O, 900.
