the American Ambassador. had
met Mr.. Bayard on several occa-
sions in Smyrna, at the house of a
mutual friend. At that time 1 had
not reached my majority; and,
while not a voter, yet I considered
myself staunch Republican. This
was known to our host, who ac-
quainted Mr.. Bayard of the fact.
The Senator set to work to con-
vince me why should, when I be-
came a voter, be good Democrat.
1 never forgot some of his argu-
ments, and on the day at the Marl-
borough House I reminded him of
the incident.
81 hope my arguments had the
desired result" said the Ambas-
sador, pleasantly.
"You can judge for yourself
when I tell you that I am now one
of the editors of as staunch Re-
publican newspaper as there is in
New York State" I replied, and
the Ambassador laughed heartily
''That will not prevent us from
extending the courtesies of the
Embassy Office to you while you
are in London" said Mr.. Roosevelt
the Ambassadors Secretary, who
stood nearby, and who had heard
the conversation. Mr.. Roosevelt is
from Poughkeepsie, and a gentle
man whom it was pleasure for
me to know.

 Well in a way it Is and in q way it's not. It was a big sur prise and some shock. l think we have got enough babies around here already" he said.
 Besides the triplets he has a son, Raymond jr., 5.
 We didn't make any special preparations for the twins" he said splitting out a mouthful oi safety pins. We've had enough trouble taking care of Raymond he looks as if butter wouldn't melt in his mouth-and the triplets, and just knowing more were com. ing. We haven't talked much about 1t.
 If you took each one of these babies individually they'd be nc trouble at all. It's the multiplicity that counts"
 Before the twins, the Macatees used 200 diapers a week.

As a service to veterans in the community. this paper will publish a column of questions most fre- quently asked contact men in this area. For more detailed inform ation, veterans should contact or write to the nearest VA contact unit at Ketchikan.
 Q. Can I get a loan guaranteed or insured to construct more than single-family home?
 A. Yes, but one veteran can not get a guaranteed or insured loan to buy or build more than a four-family home. If more than one veteran is buying, then the basic four-family home is allowed for the group and this may be increased by one additional family unit for each veteran participat- ing: thus two veterans can buy or build a six-family home, three vel erans a seven family home, etc.
 Q. What are the most import ant provisions of the amended bill regarding NatiOntl Service Life Insurance?
 A. 1. Three new type perman- ent-20 year endowment, endow- ment at the age of 60 and endow- ment at 65.
 2. All restrictions on the choice of beneficiaries imposed by the original act have been removed.
 3. Insured may have payments made to the beneficiary in lump i sum or. in equal installments ranging from 36 to 24O months.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1946-08-23

 o. At present I am working part+time and collecting partial readiustment allowance. Because of the reduced payment, am eli- gible to collect for a longer peri 1d of time than the unemployed vet eran.
 A. Each time a veteran receives payment of a weekly allowance. regardless of the dollar amount of the payment, he has used up one week of the limited number of allowances to which he may be entitled.
