Prize Contributions
By Penny BIoekIedse. 10
Phoebe Hearst School

Gee, we really had the time Of our
lives at Camp Kahlert. There were
so many things to do-uot a dull
moment. For instance, crafts
swimming, tennis, archery, hikes,
cook-outs, dramatics, ping pong
Jacks and baseball (Which I es-
pecially liked.
The meals were simply scrump-
tious! Here is one of our breakfasts
'-cornflakes with bananas and milk
water, cocoa, and toast with melted
butter and jam. We got ice cream
every single Sunday. But, of course
out of all these things, Mothers
fried chicken, and Daddy's fried
eggs are still tops with me.
We had cook-out every Thurs
day, rain or shine. On one of our
cook-outs, we had hotdogs, potato
chips, punch, peaches and a peanut
butter sandwich. We also had
sparklers (not to eat, of course) be-
cause it was the Fourth Of July.
After dinner each night we would
have a program. Once, we had
"baby night" Everybody was sup
posed to dress up as a baby. There
was a contest to see which baby
could crawl the fastest, which could
bawl the loudest, and which could
finish its water first, etc. At the end
of the program the camp doctor
said it was very late for babies to
be up. and we must go right to our
cribs and go to sleep. At this state
ment, all the ''babies" started crying
as loud as possible.
Another night, we had a carnival.
That was more fun! 1t cost a penny
a ticket. 1t was really for the benefit
of the little war orphan Camp Kah-
lert had adopted. There was a
sideshow, wonder-house, a bowling
alley, fortune telling booth, your
weight guessed-we also tried to
drop pennies into jar top which
foated on the water. If you got the
penny in, you could have it back
again.
Last of all, the spook house, and
that's what I especially liked. You
had to go in blindfolded and bare
footed, and every one before me said:
There are worms all over the floor
In there"
Finally, I noticed that one Of my
friends walked sout with spaghetti
on her toes, so then I knew what
the worms" were. When I went in,
they made me hold giants eye
ball." I think it was just a squashy
tomato. The thing I liked best
about the spook house was the
shrieks and screams of the so-called
ghosts.
OF course, it wouldn't seem like
camp if you didn't get bee sting,
and I really got whopper right
on my toe.

immaculate Student
Has 1,5OO Stamps
Prize Contribution
By Sondro S. Huber. II
Immaeulosu Seminary

I have quite a stamp collection.
1t all started when my uncle in
Canada wrote to me and I noticed
the stamp. It was different from
what I usually saw on letters, so I
saved it. Then my grandmothe
gave me an album and some stamps.
Later, friend of my brother gave
me a bigger album and all his
stamps.
Most of my stamps come from
Germany and France. I have about
$50 from Germany and about 100
from France. I have only a few
from Japan, China and Australia,
but in all I have about 1,500 stamps.
The album is arranged very neat
ly and alphabetically. 1t begins with
United States, then Australia and
all through the alphabet to zanzi-
bar.
I never knew there were so many
countries in the world until / saw
the stamp album. I have enjoyed
putting the stamps in the album
and studying them.

Veterans Guide
By Moi. Thomos M. Mol

Jim Schoen kept his National
Service term" insurance in effect
by paying his premiums. One day
he was hit by a car and received q
conclusion. He was sent to the
hospital. His earnings stopped when
he got to the pill factory, so SIX
weeks later he let his insurance
lapse, quit paying premiums.
When Jim left the hospital two
months later he was uninsurable.
His health was bad owing to the
conclusion. He just wasn't a good
enough risk to rate life insurance.
But the new NSLI amendments
provide for his reinstating his insur-
ance even though he is uninsurable
provided he does so within SIX
months after 1t lapsed Tor before
February 1, 1947, whichever is later)
and provided his health is as good
as It was when his insurance lapsed.
He can reinstate under those con-
ditions because his health Is just
as good now as it was when the
insurance lapsed. / mean he already
had incurred the conclusion and
was in bad shape at the time he
stopped paying premiums. That's
called reinstating on a comparative
health basis. Don't forget, 1t has
to be done before February !, next
year, or within six months after
the lapse date, whichever 1t later.
But for vets in good physical con-
dition they can reinstate their
lapsed term insurance at any time
by paying two premiums at the
same rate they were paying when
the insurance lapsed. To reinstate
under these terms you must take 9
physical examination given by 9
Veterans Administration regional
Office. This is called reinstatement
on satisfactory evidence OF good
health.
Can Still ReInstate.
If you're not In good health, YOU
still can reinstate under these con-
ditions II your disability Is entirely
service-connected.
You can reinstate this way at
any time before your term" insur-
ance would have run out. Term In
surance is good for eight years after
YOU first bought it. II you got 1t
after January /, 1916, it's good for
only i've years. So you have to re-
instate before these 1--WE or eight
years are up.

bers OF the immediate family could

There's one more point. It's about
applications for new NSLI. One CT
I can remember never took out any
NSLI when he was in the service.
Now he wishes he had $4,000 of
NSLI. Well, he can get it.
Any vet who served between Oc-
tober 8. 1910, and September 2, 1916,
can get it if he can show the VA he's
in good health. He doesn't have to
do even that if the reason he's not
in good health is due to a service
connected disability.
Or suppose you bought only 5000
of NSLI when you were on Uncle
Sans payroll and now your wife is
heckling because you didn't take out
the full 10 grand. The new amend
ments allow you to buy any addi-
tional amount of NSLI you want,
providing the total doesn't exceed
$4,000. No one can have more than
$10,0 900.
You can get the extra insurance
df you don't already have 100000
in multiples Of $500. The form to
use is VA $50, and 1t must be filed at
the nearest regional Office of the VA.
New Amendments.
Many letters recently have noted
that the new insurance amendments
are swell and all that, but how do
they help man who already Is
totally disabled?
These letters refer to the new total
disability clause, which says that any
holder Of national service life insur-
ance can, by paying q small extra
premium. get SIS per month per 81 600
of insurance he has during any Pc
riod he's totally disabled beyond the
first six months Of the disability.
What about the ex-Joes and James
who already are totally disabled and
who were when the law was passed?
The answer is-they're out Of luck.
They can't collect and they can't
sign up for disability payments by
starting now to pay the extra pre-
MUM. However, If q veteran is
anything less than totally disabled
now and his disability is service
connected, he still may be able to
qualify for the disability payments.
But those totally disabled are just
out Of luck. It's too bad. but itS
the truth.

Presentation Of Aida Gives
Reason to Demand Auditorium
By Alice Eyersmon

verdi's aida" which the Phila.
delphia La Scala Opera Co. pro-
duced In Constitution Hall last
night, was to have been the oppor-
tunity to hear again the fine Amer
lean contralto, Winifred HEIDI, who
was scheduled for the role of Anne
ris. Illness prevented her from ap
pearing, however, and In her stead
came Maru Castagna, sister OF
Bruna Castagna. She fitted In well
with the solid cast which Francesca
Perlosi had provided for this per-
formance.
Surprisingly enough. Constitution
Hall stage lent itse.f better than was
expected to the presentation Of this
large scaled work. Not that 1t was
possible in any way to convey the
full picture but the set pieces that
cannot be changed were not too Gis-
turbing and anyway. the Washing
ton opera public has had q great
deal Of exercise in using its imagi-
nation.
Just what 1t does imagine, II 1t is
not thoroughly conversant with the
setting, would be interesting to
know, for opera has suffered indig-
mites here that would not be toler-
ated in any other presentation.
That the music and the artists are
but half of an opera performance
and proper and colorful scenery
the other half seems not to be un-
derstood. It IL not the fault Of the
producers. for they must take the
only building available and abide ty
the restrictions. But the public has
loud voice and q good deal of
energy when 1t wants to use it and
no better effort could be made than
to begin shouting for an auditorium.
That is, If it likes opera and wants
to hear it.
This outbrrst IS due to the sadness
felt at what last nights audience did
not see. But 1t had the first part Of
opera in good measure and the ar
fists seemed to feel that that was
more important anyway. At least
they concentrated on the musical
side and made little attempt to givel
vision to the story through their act-I
ing. Zinka Milanov, who Just q year
ago sang with the same company In
III Troyatore", has q fine, opulentl
voice admirably designed in its pow
er and evenneSs to take care Of the
taxing music Of the title role. Butt

to have acted as well as they sang.

Seattle School Board
Should Adopt FEPC

Editor, The Times:
Does the Seattle School Board
sincerely want to relieve the
shortage of school teachers q?
Then let the board employ
qualified persons regardless of
race, color, or creed.
There are many fine men and
women, adequately trained, who
because they are Negroes, Japa-
nese, Chinese, or Filipino, are
barred from teaching in Seattle
schools.
School Board members may
hesitate because parents might
object to non-white teachers. To
relieve the board of that worry,
| will guarantee to collect sig
natures of 5000 parents to a
statement that the parent want
good teachers for their children,
and that the teachers racial or
religious extractions do not
matter.
Seattle's present school teach
ers will welcome help from nom
Caucasian colleagues. Seattle
