THREE SONS in SERVICE, TWO
X r. r
BHt-SOn Who Stayed At Home Lost His Right Eye
h
PARACHUTE JUMPERS, UNHURT

Joseph E. Papy, a parachute
trooper in the United States
Army, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Papy. has received his
honorable discharge at Atlanta,
and is expected home tomorrow.
In discussing his coming, his
father, Charles Papy, said today
to a Citizen representative,
What is the most hazardous call
ing in life?"
1t was remarked that the Army
considers parachute jumping as
the most hazardous service, so
much so that jumper is given
5O% extra pay. Papy concluded:
II know that that is true, but
l had three sons in the armed
services, and two of them were
parachute jumpers. Another son,
who remained at home to serve
as an oiler on the wrecking tug
Willett, was the only one in
jured, that is, an injury of any
consequence.
Joseph E., whom we expect
home tomorrow, was a jumper
for a year and a half, and the
only time he was injured was
when foot became caught in
a shroud of his parachute. 1t was
a minor injury, only a slightly
sprained ankle. But Douglas, G.,
the son who was oiler on the
Willett, lost his right eye in an
accident.
Frank H. Papy, another son,
was parachute jumper for two
years, and never had a mishap.
Charles, Jr., was in the navy

eight years and escaped without
a scratch. He. was a member OF
the crew of the transport Leon
ard Wood, from which the first
contingent of American troops
was landed at Casa Blanca, in
Morocco, on the northwestern
coast of Africa.
Charles Papy observed that
only seven Key WeSters were
parachute jumpers during the
second World War, and that two
of them were his sons. He added
that he and Mrs. Papy tried to
diSsuade them from entering that
branch of the service, but, as
they were fixed in their determi-
nation to serve as parachute
jumpers, they were permitted to
enter what the Army character
ICES as the most hazardous
service"
"There you have it," Charles
Papy said. 'The son that we
thought was in the least danger
lost an eye, and the two sons we
thought were in the greatest
danger were uninjured, except
for a slightly sprained ankle.
That makes me ask, What is
the most hazardous thing in
life? Nobody knows as con-
Germs himself. We think the
home is the safest place, but
$4,000 Americans last year lost
their lives in their homes. So
that makes it seem you're not
safe anywhere, and that circum-
stances, over which we often
have no control, may result in
injury or death"

A young marine was beaten up
by a group of civilians at the
Skating Rink on Southland Street
near Duval last evening, the Navy
Shore Patrol reported today. The
marine, Louis A. Velazquez, was
still confined to the Submarine
Base dispensary this morning
with head cuts, bruises and abra-
Sions.
The Shore Patrol said that Ell
Their a blackjack or brass knockles
were used by one or more of the
civilian youths who jumped on
Velazquez. Onlookers, the patrol
said, took the side of the service
man and some marines and sailors
were hurriedly modified.
Upon their arrival the marines
assaifants, chief sof whom was a
six-footer named Tony, took off
hastily for the Cuban Club, the
marines and sailors in hot pur-
suit. Before the Cuban Club was
reached, however, the Shore Pa
troll intercepted the pursuers and
prevented a free-for-all fight.
Meanwhile, another sailor, Da-
vid Stanghelli, seaman first class
of the USS Gilmore, and ma
rine, had become involved in an
alteration with civilians at the
Cuban Club. Stanghelli claimed
about 40 civilians had jumped on
the Marine and him.
Police Chief Bienvenido Perez
had been called, however, short
ly after trouble started and sep
arated the participants. No ar
rests were made. The Shore Pa
troll promptly placed the Cuban
Club out-of- bounds.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %
Senator Styles Bridges, Repub-
lican, New Hampshire, said to-
day that, shortly after congress
convenes on January 3, he is GO
ing to advocate that the senate
appoint committee 30 investi-
gate the UNRRA.
He declared that, under the
present system of distribution,
many countries to which UNRRA
supplies are sent, are using them
to enhance their political power.
He further stated that he will
favor the reduction in amounts
of goods and money that are
given away by the UNRRA. be-
cause both the money and the
goods are needed at home. As 10
the goods. he asserted that many
high prices of commodities in the
United States are traceable di-
rectly to the enormous quaint
ties of supplies that have been
shipped to foreign countries.
Another point that he stressed
was that the supplies should be
distributed by United States
government agents. not by pri-
vate individuals, as at present,
and that the agents, and not the
governments to which the goods
are sent, should supervise the
distribution, so that neither poll
tics nor favoritism can enter in-
,, to the placing of the goods among
the ultimate consumers.
/ ''If the governments to which
/ the supplies are sem" he con
leluded, "obiect to- United States

MILK PRICES
ARE INCREASED
New Price Covers Losses In
Cured By Dropping
of Subsidies
NEW WAGE CONTRACT

Prices paid producers for milk
underwent a marked change this
week, the quoted price going up "a
cents per hundred pounds of Glass
I milk for producers who supply
buyers in Philadelphia and Lam
caster, Pa, and Wilmington, and
their environs, and 92 cents on all
milk in New Jersey markets. The
increases were asked by Inter
State Milk Producers Cooperative
on milk accepted from members of
that organization by the buyers on
and after July s. The new prices,
it was asserted by o. H. Hoffman,
Jr., general manager of Inter
State, cover only the losses incur
red by the dropping of subsidies,
which stopped on June 30 with
the ending of OPA. Coincident
with this producer price increase,
retail prices were raised three
cents per quart by milk distribu-
tors in Philadelphia, Wilmington
and New Jersey, approximately
two cents of it going to producers
and, according to a dealer spokes-
man, most of the remainder to lab
or. This spokesman declared that
a new wage. contract had been
negotiated with dairy employees
and, in addition, the driver-sales-
men get a commission on total
dollar sales, the higher prices CIV
ing them more take-home pay. In
announcing this producer price in
crease, Hoffman called attention to
the constantly increasing costs of
producing milk that occurred dur
ing the war and how these costs
were met by subsidies from the
Federal treasury, the money for
which was raised either by taxes

borne for considerable distances.
1t is likely that the disease in Del
aware has been blown up from

where it is now very destructive.
This disease can be controlled by
applying fungicides to the plants.
The most effective fungicide is
Dithane zinc sulpate lime spray.
Make this spray as follows for 100

Losses High

SoCc
1t was pointed out that the loss
in income to the average member
of Interstate, due to the loss of
the direct subsidy, was more than
$3.50 per day during the first
week in July, this being at an an
nual rate of more than $500 per
individual producer. Producers, it
was declared, could not continue
to produce milk in the face of such
a loss"
MANY neighboring markets al
ready have replaced, or are now
replacing, this subsidy with equiv
alent direct price increases and
they will quickly draw milk from
this area unless similar action is
taken here" according to the
statement of the producer organ
ization. 1t was asserted, further,
that even with the subsidy pay
ments, production has been on a
sharp downward trend during the
past year.
In summarizing the situation
facing producers following cancel
lation of subsidies, Hoffman stated
that 1--WE have no choice but to
ask for an increase in our fluid
milk price sufficient to cover the
actual average of the subsidy loss
es."
The subsidies paid to milk pro-
ducers were started in October,
1943, and were a part of the Ad-
ministration's "hold the line" pol
icy. The amount of the subsidy
has fluctuated from time to time,
being higher in the late summer
and fall months. In addition, an
other subsidy was effective in the
Philadelphia and Wilm n g o
markets, which was paid directly
to dealers in place of a retail price
increase, this subsidy having been
started in April, 1943, following
the granting of a producer price
increase. This subsidy, also, ceas-
ed with the ending of OPA on
June 80, the loss to distributors
being recovered through a retail
price rise of one cent a quart in
those markets on July 8.

proVement.
Yet most any farmer can assist
III bringing this disease under con-
troll and add greatly to his milk
production and profits, if he will
take few simple steps and follow
item Systematically. Back of these
control measures is the fact that
there are TWO major causes of
mastitis. One cause is bacteria
which enter the teat canal aud
ruin the udder. The other is udGer
injuries due to accidents or wrong
milking methods.
Udder injuries can be prevented
by giving cows stalls wide enough
and long enough tc prevent pinch
ing the udder when lying down or
getting up. Also, good bedding and
clean floors are very important.
The germ form of mastitis is
usually spread from one COW to
arother, in milking. Therefore, for
control, the first step is to have a
veterinarian check over the herd,
locate the cows which have mas
tits, and place them at the end
of the milking line. Then, when
cows are dry, proper treatment by
the "udder infusion" method can
save most of them from irrepar-
able damage, if the infection has
not progressed too far. But just
one checkup is not enough. The
COWS should be re-checked at in
tervals, to see that the disease has
not crept in again. A control pro-
gram will pay real dividends to
the farmer, in longer usefulness
from his cows and in larger milk
production, year after year.

Questions and
Answers
On Items of Intert.t to
the Veteran

Q-Does the government pay
the first years interest on CT
loans
A-No. When the loan is re-
ported to Veterans Administration
for a certificate of guaranty, the
amount that VA pays is applied
to reduce the amount of the loan
VA pays 4 per cent on the amount
guaranteed which cannot exceed
so per cent of the loan, or $4,000
on real estate loan and $1,000 on
a montreal estate loan.
Q-Ts veteran who holds a bad
conduct discharge entitled to any
benefits under the Servieemen's
Readjustment Act (G.I. Billy?
A-Since he holds neither an
honorable nor a dishonorable dis
charge from the armed services, it
would be necessary for him to con-
tact his nearest Veterans Admin
istration office for decision as to
whether he was discharged under
conditions other than dishonorable,
or he may apply to the Army or
Navy for revision of discharge.
Q-Can a veteran who is not a
high school graduate take col
lege course?
A-The veteran who has not
completed high school but who
wishes to undertake college edu-
cation may go to college under a
number of methods. 1t is best that
he go to the neareht Veterans Ad-
ministration office and explore
these possibilities.
Q-Can veteran who draws re-
tirement pay also receive subsis-
tence allowance while attending
school?
Ayes.
Q-Are wives of veterans en-
titled to medical care under the
G.. I. Bill?
A-Veterans Administration is
not authorized to furnish medical
care for dependents of veterans
under any existing laws.
Q-Is the pension of a veteran
subject to change if he takes q
position
Smyrna times., 1946-07-11

A-No. Disabled veterans are
encouraged to do such work as
their disability permits. This does
not effect the amount of their PEN
sion because each disability pen
sion is based on the veterans dis
ability as determined by Veterans
Administration rating schedule.
Such pensions are subject to
change only as the disability itself
