More than 1900 veterans train
ing in Texas, Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi are currently suspended
from Veterans Administration SUBJ
sistence rolls for failure to report
their earnings.
Subsistence checks ordinarily
mailed to these veterans the first
of every month will be held up
until the required report is SUBJ
mitted to the proper VA regional
office, VA officials said
Both veterans in training and
educational status must report their
earnings from productive labor for
the months of August, September
and October.
Forms have been mailed to all
veterans on the suspended list, but
if these have been misplaced, the
report on earnings can be made in
letter over the veterans sigma
ture.
Under legislation passed last
summer, veterans payments and
earnings are limited to total of
SITS monthly for those without de-
pendents and to 5000 monthly for
those with dependents. In the
event those figures are exceeded,
the subsistence allowances must be
reduced accordingly.
VA officials believe most of the
reductions will be made in al
lowances to veterans taking on-the-
job training. It is believed that
only few veterans in educational
status will be affected.

j. W. B.-I read in the paper
where you help other folks and
l believe that you can give me
some peace of mind too. l left
my wife some time ago, nearly
a year and three months. | know
that | need her. | don't know
what to do or where to go l
just sit and worry all the time
Now tell me what to do. Should
l leave here and 60 to some other
town or should | go back to my
wife? am losing interest in
everything.
Ans: Swallow your pride and
ask your wife for another chance.
You left her and she certainly
isn't going to appeal to you to
come home. Before you make the
first plea you should have some
money ahead and something very
interesting to offer her in addi-
ton to your love and promises.
Your present unhappiness is no
reason for you to lose interest in
yourself and stop working as you
have done. You must put your
nose TO the grindstone and work
very hard for the next couple of
months and save every cent that
you can if you expect to entice
your wife into living with you
again. In the meantime write
her and pave the way for a future
meeting.

Safety Movement

The agricultural safety movement
was started in 1912. when agricul-
tural leaders determined that farm.
ers were paying too high a price for
injuries and fires that could be pre-
vented. II was then estimated that
more than 10000 farm people are
killed in farm accidents yearly and
about a million and half suffer
disabling injuries. About 80 mill
lion dollars worth Of farm property
Is destroyed in fires, while the total
annual cost to agriculture for inju-
ries and fires is estimated to be one
billion dollars.

and have been for sixteen years.
My husband doesn't seem to want
to give me any money. What
does he expect? l have asked
him for a nickle and he would
not even give me that. What
must I do?
Ans. You had better make up
your mind to start punching a
clock. BY doing so, you will re-
gain your independence and can
have the little luxuries you wan
and need. Your husband pro.
vides everything for you but
your spending money. Since you
have no dependents, he probably
feels that you could earn a little
money to help out. His present
attitude does not warrant your
getting provoked with him. A
great number of women are work
ing full time at the present and
a part time job shouldn't inter-
fere with your home life too
much.
