 Many veterans now have rights under both the Servicemen's Re-
 adjustment Act of 1914 and the Unemployment Compensation Law of the Territory of Alaska. MT. Sheldon pointed out that from now on it will become increasingly inn portant for such veterans who be- come unemployed to consider the expiration date of their rights un- der both programs, if they are to be assured maximum protection under the two systems. Both types of claims are filed through the of ficeS of the Territorial Employ ment Service. Veterans who re- side in outlying places where the facilities of the Employment Serv- ice are not available may mail their inquiries directly to the Un- ployment Compensation Comms- sion, Box 266l, Juneau, Alaska.

New Rules Set For
 DiscOntinuance Of Read juStment Allowances

July 25, i947 has been declared termination date of the war under the program of Reajustment Al lowances for both unemployed and self-employed veterans as a result of Congressional action, according the Robert E. Sheldon, executive director of the Alaska Unemploy- ment Compensation Commission.
 MT. Sheldon said that Congress has substituted the date of July 25, l947. for the words termination of the war" as they appear in Title V of the Servicemen's Readjust- ment Act. This means that World War II veterans who were dis charged prior to July 26, l947, will have until July 25, l948 to draw their allowances; veterans discharged after July 25, l947, will have two years from the date of discharge to draw these allow ances.

Public Welfare Dept. Makes Report Of
 Old Age Assistance

fare in reporting on operation of public welfare programs for the month of July revealed the follow ing information, according to an announcement by Director Russell . c. Maynard.
 There were 1876 recipients who received old age assistance in an amount totalling S5l, ,l40.00, of which approximately 54%o is paid through grants in aid from the federal security administration. Since the beginning of the bien- nium commencing April 1, l947, the total amount expended under this program was S282, ,425.0O, Fed eral participation amounting to Sl44,81l .0O. During the month of July, 73 new grants were approv- cd and "A cases were closed.
 "In connection with restricted policies of the department made necessary by insufficient Territo- rial funds to maintain former standards of assistance, a com plete re-Survey of maximum standards in various categories is currently being conducted in or der that the fullest possible use of Territorial and federal funds may l~o Co { NY
 the director.
 | "ThiS involves the conducting of
 a cost of food study throughout the Territory in view of the recOg- nized increase in the cost of living during the past year." he stated. The director further stated that such surveys could not be con- ducted as frequently as was deemed necessary because of in- sufficient staff available to per
 form such work. However, it was expected that the survey now in i progress would be completed in time for application of the revised standards by October 1.
 Tn the aid to dependent children program, 560 children received a 1 total of S7,439.OO, $4,461.00 of such amount being met from federal funds. Since April l, there has l been expended for this program a total of S43,675OO of which the ] federal participation amounted to S25,207.00. The cost of this pro- gram is borne approximately 60% from federal funds and 40%o from Territorial funds. As of August 1, there were 37 cases involving 95 children on the official waiting list. Such cases remain on this list until funds are available to commence payments. During the previous month, l4 cases were re- moved from the waiting list and certified for payments commence ] ing August l. Because Territori- al funds are insufficient to meet the needs of this program, 23%S discount is made on every case receiving care" MT. Maynard de- 1 clared.
 Since April 1, 1947, from general relief funds an amount of S35,- | 785.OO has been expended from an appropriation made by the leg islature of S2OO,OOO.OO This in- wolves services to approximately 200 persons per month.

EX-NAvY PERSONNEL
 PASSING up BIG BET

Are .here some people in Alaska who do not want money, or at least do not want it enough to collect it? i That is what the Navy Department thinks.
 In a recent announcement, the Navy'S Terminal Leave Disbursing Office at Great Lakes, I'll, stated that there are thousands of eX- Navy personnel who have not yet submitted their claims for payment of the money and bonds due them Any one who had unused leave to his credit upon release from active Guty is entitled to collect payment for it at the rate of pay he was receiving on release. All he has to do is obtain the proper form from the nearest post office, fill it out, and submit it as directed on the form.
 The Terminal Leave Disbursing Office is prepared to process 10000 claims per day;so far they have been receiving only half that many For that reason anyone who is eligible to receive payment is urged to sub init his claim as soon as possible
 Also, the Terminal Leave Office has on hand a number of claims, and bonds and checks in payment of claims, which cannot be sent out because the claimants neglected to put their proper addresses on their forms. If you submitted your claim prior to November l946, and haven't received payment for it, you should write to the U. s. Naval Terminal Leave Disbursing Office, U. $. Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, III, and inquire as to the status of the claim. Don't forget to give your correct address.

NUNS Circus came to Washington
for the first time by railroad and
Washington was the first stop.
Those were the days when the
calliope sounded its call to the cir
Gus faithful, when Barnum's parade
wound through the streets Of Wash
ington.
Parades Were Dropped.
AS cities got bigger and circus
tents were pitched farther out of
town, the parades were abandoned.
The circus got bigger, too. Bar
mum and Bailey got together and
then the Ringing Brothers came
along Now it takes 103 cars to
bring the circus to Washington.
One thing hasn't changed. The
circus always publicized itself.
Back in 1872, all three Washing
ton papers of that day-The Star
and the now defunct Morning
Chronicle and Daily Republican
carried circus advertisements, al
though, oddly enough, none of them

Library of Congress Scholars
Discuss Circus Days of II

Even the scholars at the Library
OF Congress can't resist the tug OF
the big red circus wagons.
They express their enthusiasm In
scholarly fashion, Of course, which
accounts for their trotting out news
paper files of 1872 to talk about the
circus.
According to the scholars, then,
clowns once cavorted and elephants
trumpeted near the spot where the
Social Security Building now stands
Back In 1872, Twenty-first and
Benning road NE, where the circus
will pitch its tents Sunday, was way
out in the country.
Circus First Came in 1872.
The files of 1872 reveal, the
scholars say, that in those days the
show grounds were "on the public
reservation, on Sixth street, just
beyond the canal" With consider
able research, the experts put the
finger on the spot where Social
Security workers now toll.
It was in 1872 that P. T. Bar
Evening star., 1947-05-30
mentioned the location of the show

mentioned the location OF the show
grounds.
Barnum Talked on Temperance.
The ads, however, did promise an
added attraction. 1t was announced
that Barnum himself would give a
temperance lecture at Lincoln Hall
and that any one would be admitted
free who purchased Barnum's au-
TOPOGRAPHY at $l.5o, reduced from
$3.50.
One OF the stories of the day an
nouneed the route of the parade
The red wagons, according to the
story, went up Seventh street NV
to M street, proceeded across M
street to Fourteenth street, dropped
down to X street and then rolled
over to Georgetown. On the return
trip, the circus parade Travelled
down Pennsylvania avenue TO Sixth
