VETERANS' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

claims were adjudicated than re- ceived.
 Even though the fightings been over for more than two years, plenty of veterans are applying for and getting disability compensa- tion. In July. for instance, 34,000 new claims were received by the VA offices.
 During that same month 46i282 other claims were adjudicated, some Of which the VA had been working on for many weeks.
 I wanted to find cut the per- centage of allowed claims . how many ex-servicers received compensation cut of all those who applied.
 Tt come to almost 50 percent" the VA fellow said. out of 5000,- GOO who put in claims for com pensation just under 2,50t ,000 were okayed.'
 Many veterans who got suDstan- tial compensations when they were first discharged have had theix monthly checks cut from time to time. That's because their disabil- ities have improved.
 Take malaria. A serviceman who comes out of the service and has
 - n&Lrla may get a disability award Of 20 percent, or $2760 a lCnth. If two years go by and he has no recurrent attack of the
 oNnrensation may be cut to $13sO, or 10 percent. If he sUlA mas had no attack in few more years, his compensation is likely to be cut altogether. His disability has improved, maybe dis prea4oo and his compensation -hanges accordingly.
 The VA has no figures on the lumber of compensation awards cduced this way.

One of the costliest items on the budget of the Veterans Administra- tion is labelled pensions and com pensation."
 It costs the VA (and the tax payers s145,0O0,Oo0 every month to meet it's pension and compen- sation claims.
 ! You may think that pension" and compensation are the same thing They're not. Congress long ago took special pains to discrlm- mate between the two terms. It was decided, and written into the law, that any money paid as sub sistence measure to widows and other dependents of deceased veter- ans, as well as any money paid to veterans themselves for disabilities net connected with their service, would be called pension"
 At the same time Congress made it clear that any money paid to veterans to compensate them for saryice- connected disabilities would bs called compensation.
 It's been a huge job for the VA t9 adjudicate the hundreds of thousands CT claims for compensa- ton. Before the wars end most c ryr dy who got discharged got hat way because Of service con- rected disabilities. Those cases were comparatively clear-cut and -asy to handle.
 If -r VI Day, and especial
 k Of demobiliza- -u, when millions of service boys md girls were becoming veterans every month, claims for compensa- tion started to pile up. They filled VA offices ali over the coun- try.
 As in insurance, backlogs began to accumulate. Some veterans who had applied for compensation wait cd patiently and then impatiently. In some cases months pasId be- fore claim was adjudicated,
 A year and half ago 66l,000 claims were in VA files waiting to be handled. That was the peak. Today only 90OOO claims are un- settled.
 The VA put out a press release the other day which said that for Is out of the last IT months more

BY BEN

The months have been many
since the end OF the war, and
most of US have slowly assumed
mental calmness while building up
the stability which will enable
us to make that peace endure.
As We join the church tnrongs
this Easter, surrounded by the
family, friends and friendly neigh
bors, we can make one simple
resolution in behalf of that peace.
W. can resolve to live in the cpirit
OF Easter throughout the year.
Talking about the Easter season,
have a story about an Easter
pageant held every year at Car.
ver's Creek, Bladen county that is
really one for the books.
First off, a word or two about
the director Of this pageant. She
is Mrs. Helen M. Sanderlin. Mrs.
Sanderlin comes from Council.
Council is next to Carver's creek.
This Carver's Greek Easter
pageant started as a small COM
munity undertaking. Mrs. Sander
lin had an idea. She decided that
1t would be a grand community
undertaking if all the people in
her area could be induced to
gather on Easter Sunday and
praise the Lord in their own way.
She preached this idea to the resi-
dents and all were in agreement.
At the beginning, few attended
but with the passing Of the years
the pageant has become one of the
biggest events in North Carolina.

JAYCETTES TO HOLD
MEETING TONIGHT

Members of the Jaceyettes will
hold their monthly dinner meeting
tonight at 7 o'clock at the Friend
ly, according to an announcement
by Mrs. Wallace West.
The program will evolve around
the question of safety" and an
address on that subject will be
given by a well-known authority
on the subject.
At their last meeting on March
II, at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms, the members heard an ad-
dress from Mrs. Wayne C. Spen-
Ger on the subject of "Parliamen,
tary Procedure." During the bust
ness session, an elections commit
tee was appointed with Mrs. Ed
ward Goodwin as chairman. Other
members named to the commit
tee were Mrs. Ellwyn Granthem
and Mrs. Barry Hinant.
/. Mrs. Archie Fountain was added
% the committee on Health and
Social Service and Mrs. A. T.
Cause was named to the Bulletin
committee.

Carvers Greek To Stage
Yearly Easter Pageant

1t actually draws visitors from
surrounding states.
The community gathering start
ed SIX years ago. Mrs. Sanderlln,
who writes all the script as well
as beng the directress, a down
with herself one day and, (still
thinking to herselif) said. It's
about time we had a real Easter
pageant Suiting thoughts to &C
ton, Mrs. .Sanderlin Immediately
went to work. The result: Carver's
Creek Easter pageant. It's now
Southeastern North Cardinals most
famous Easter religious ceremony.
The church where the ceremony
is held is the former site OF the
Quaker meeting ground. This site
is also the place where Bishop
Asbury first brought Methodism
to Bladen county. To this day a
number of graves OF the original
Quaker settlers may be found.
One Of the highlights of the pag-
cant is the big dinner that is serv-
ed after the ceremonies are over.
A pit barbecue is held, and the
general public is invited.
For many weeks the people of
the Carver's Creek area n the
Council section practice for the
festival. Perhaps one of the most
interesting notes about the pageant
is the fact that farmers from in
and around the area make it a
duty to attend rehearsals, despite
the fact that it is planting season.
When the days work is done, the
farmers, their wives and families
come to researsal by wagon, mule
cart and automobile.
Norman McCullock, business
manager Of the Bladen journal
writing about the festival held
last year said, "Bladen county is
indeed proud of this festival. 1t
depicts the story of Easter as it
has never been produced before
by any group, amateur or profess
sional."
The ceremony is not big-time
acting. On the contrary, it's just
the simple expression of a group
Of country people who feel that
in this way they are paying hon.
age to the Great Farmer" who
has shown them the way to a great
er success.
AS one observer has said. ''the
simplicity of the people who take
part is as sincere as the pageant
itself. It's an expression direct
from the hearts of the farmer-folk
who year in and year out have
played their parts with deep sin
certify in the hope that they
would in their small way bring
to all who come a deeper feeling
Of the real meaning of Easter.
And so for the sixth consecutive
year, the Carver's Creek church,
located in lower Bladen county on
the Elizabethtown Wilmington
highway, will bring to many
thousands of spectators an East
dramatization that is taking it's
place in the folklore of America.
a festival to which the public is
cordially invited.

City May Get Daylight Saving

Daylight saving time for the
city of Wilmington was still in
the question and no answer stage
last night, with no move having
been made by city officials to
establish the time change.
City Manager J.. R. Benson said
early in the week that he was still
undecided on the matter and
pointed out that he was awaiting
action by state officials before act
ing.
A bill to enact daylight saving
time on a statewide basis was
killed in the legislature Tuesday.
The power to establish daylight
saving time in the city was del
egated to the governing body of
the city in 1881 and City Attorney
William B. Campbell said last
night that as far as he knew the
law was still in effect.
He explained, however, that he
wished to investigate the matter
before committing himself.
The law provides that the time
change should not be ordered prior
to April 1 and should not extend
beyond October 1 of each year.
