Governors Committee InAppeoI
 Ask Housewives
 To Make Extra
 Canning Effort

Hartford, July 25 Connecticut food experts and members of Gov- errlor Baldwin's Food Production and Preservation Committee are urging Connecticut homemakers to do more canning this year than ever before. While National Home Can. ming Week has ended officially, they feel that it's policies should be ex- tended throughout the harvest sea- son.
 The world food supply, it was pointed out, will continue to be scarce and most foods expensive re- gardless of the outcome of O.P.A. Commissioner of Agriculture, Frank H. Peet, Chairman of the Commit tee, expressed the opinion that can- ming was not only a self preserva- ton opportunity but also a way in which the home canner could add materially to the world food supply.
 Food Administrator, Henry B. Mosle, reported that so far as the world food situation is concerned we were over the first hump. While the country has on hand or shipped all the famine relief grain committed, 1t did not mean that the shortage was over. He stated that some peo- pie will have died in spite of the shipments and many others will suf- fer n1alnutrition.
 Even with bumper grain crop the country is facing a 25 million bushel deficit. Mosle reported. This together with high purchasing pow CT. full employment and no ration ing, he pointed out, would make the food situation tight for some time.
 Preliminary surveys indicated that while there were not quite as many gardens as last year, the better gar dens were continuing. In addition Connectiout's commercial production of vegetables was higher than last year so that there were ample SUD- 1 plies available for canning.

Your GI Rights
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Corv-exnpndent

Washington, July 25-(NEA)-Vet- efans who were in any way disabled Tn the service should apply as soon as possible to the Veterans Admin lstratlon for pension ruling. This includes any man who might have had an old injury aggravated by his service, and any veteran who fears that . service-connected injury which does not bother him now might get worse as time goes on.
 Applying for a disability pension isn't asking for charity. It is all part or the agreement between the U. $ government and the men who had 10 light to keep the nation safe.
 II there is any chance that a vet aran deserves pension, he should apply for 1t. It is up to the veteran to take the initiative.
 Many veterans don't want to sc- cept pension from the government now. But in order to qualify for any of the special benefits. such AS re- training and rehabilitation. due dis snied vets, and in order to insure oneself against the possibility that what Is now minor disability may later become disabling. one must es- taelish his right to a pension at the present time
 And 1t is important to establish that right as soon as possible. The longer . veteran waits. the harder 1t is 10 prove that his disability is service e-connected
 A medical discharge from the service doesn't prove that veteran has a seryice-connected disability The Veterans Administration has it's own medical reviewing boards to determine the individual justfica- ton for pension.
 DELAY IS DANGEROUS
 If veteran waits, he is likely 10 lose some of the records and pa pers connected with his case The laws might even be changed in the meantime, disqualifying veteran who, had he acted In time, would have gotten benefits on the basis of a prior VA ruling
 And the interest at stake is not alone that of the veteran himself After he dies, his family continues to get . form of pension.
 Most veterans organizations have technical staffs to aid veterans in preparing claims And complete in- formation can be received at any VA office.

FIRST PRIZE CONTEST-Some
thing really remarkable has come
to light-what we believe was the
first commercial prize contest eve-
sponsored along the Cape Fear.
It came to light the other day
when Mr.. Frank Mason came into
our office bearing an old, worn,
tatteced, yellowed piece Of paper
printed back in 1888.
Mr.. Mason found this ancient
piece of paper on Second street be-
tween Nun and Ann streets about
10 years ago. 1t SO intrigued him
that he filed it away in his desk
drawer. And then he forgot about
it until the other day when this
column and its probings into the
past brought it back into his MEM
DRY.
Mr.. Mason thought we might be
interested in seeing it, which is an
uaderstatement. It interests us SO
much that we're going to pass it

COMMITTEE WILL
CHECK ON REPORT
VFW Group To Inquire
Into Lake Forest Rentals
Situation

The James A. Manley post of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars last
night moved to inquire into re-
ports that the City Housing auth
ority has admitted ineligible non
veteran applicants for houses in
its Lake Forest project despite a
waiting list of ex-servicemen for
whom preference is established by
fderal law.
E. C. Snead, commander of the
local VFW, announced after last
nights post meeting that he would
appoint a five-man committee tc
take up assertions that federal
veterans preference regulations
are being violated at Lake Forest
with H. R. Emory, city housing
director, in the near future.
1.-THE purpose of their inquiry
will be to determine the truth or
falsity of allegations made from
the floor of tonight's VFW meeting
that some units of Lake Forest
masonry buildings have recently
been rented to persons other than
eligible veterans" Snead said.
eff these statements are substan-
tiated, this appears to be contrary
to the Federal Housing authority's
announced policy of restricting
eligibility for admission to public
housing projects like Lake Forest
to veterans" he declared.
