Bigger, Better Benefits

Most items in the. legislative pro-
grams of the four top veterans or
CARNATIONS call for increasing bene-
fits to be paid to members. Most
fertile fields for this increase in cash
benefits lie in pension and subsis-
tence allowances, in changing tech
nical definitions through which PEN
sion rates are set, or in reclassify-
ing disability ratings. American Le-
gion will push measure to give an
education allowance of $50 month
to orphans over Is, of veterans Of
the first and second world wars who
died as a result of war service. VIEW
proposes that World War I veterans
have the same pension rights as
Civil and Spanish-American war
veterans, who are presumed to be
totally disabled at IS, thereby Civ
ing them full pensions. AMVETS
wants Is per cent increase in SUBJ
sistence allowances to veterans 60

a measure which would pay dis
ability compensation on the basis of
cost of living.

Taught Indians bible

Three hundred years ago, in 1916,
John Eliot, who had arrived in
America from England Is years
earlier, began preaching to the In
dams. Beginning in English, by the
summer of 1647 he was preaching
in their own language. Hoping to
Christianize all the New England
tribes, he began his translation of
the Bible into the Indian tongue at
about this time. His work, the first
complete Bible to be printed in North
America. was published at Cam
bridge, Mass, in 1863 and "consti-
tutes the earliest example in his
tory Of the translation and printing
Of the entire Bible in new Ian
guage as a means of evangelical

Veterans Organizations
Mighty Pressure Groups
WNU Washington Bureau
1916 Eye ST., N. W.

VETERANS of Uncle Sans mill
' tary establishment are receiving
benefits at the rate of Sic, 1916, 174, 665
for the fiscal years 1915 and 1947,
and what's more they can get what
ever they want for the next fiscal
year from this new Both congress.
One out Of every four adult Amer
leans is veteran, distributed in the
same ratio throughout every con-
gressional district in the country, SO
veterans and veterans organizations
constitute the top pressure groups in
the country. They have long legis-
lative program mapped out for this
congress. Main features of this pro-
gram, which are likely to receive IA
vorable consideration, include re-
peal Of the on-the-job training pay
ceiling and the time limit, cash ter
minal leave payments, increase in
pensions and subsistence allowances
and liberalization of government in
surance policies.
Then there are such matters as
housing, universal military train
ing, liberalization of unemployment
rights and other subjects of particu-
lar interest to veterans. The 10th
congress, during its two-year ses-
sion, passed most veterans legisla-
ton on voice vote, the members not
bothering with roll call, except on
measures where they wanted to get
ON record as having favored a
specific proposal.
Closest record vote on a piece of
veterans legislation in the 10th con-
gress was 225 to 80 in the house on
a bill to give priorities to Veterans
administration for hospital equip
ment. In two years the senate Of
the 10Th congress took only one rec
ord vote on matter Of sole con-
Germ to veterans, the measure in
troduced by Sen. Joseph Ball (Rep.,
Mimi to subtract mastering out pay
from terminal leave payments. 1t
was rousingly defeated by a vote
of 81 to II.

bitter rivals that had the Eureka
fans yelling themselves hoarse. The
Lions scored first and took a lead
that they maintained for the en-
tire game until the last few min
utes of the fracas. At the half the
Eureka boys were leading rs to IL
on the strength of the sharpshoot-
ing Gwynn and Withycombe. LIB
by had as many shots but was un-
able to hit consistently Soon al
ter the start of the second half the
Lions hit two quick baskets to take
a II point lead The Terriers, re
fusing to be beaten. went to work
and whitfield the Eureka lead to
6 points going into the last quar-
ter. In a hectic final quarter with
Daggett and Nelson hitting on their
shots. the Terriers pulled ahead OF
the Lions and held the edge as the
final gun sounded.
Gwynn and Purdy were best for
the Eureka boys. The Terriers were
all working hard and rustling the
ball effectively. Nelson topped all
scoring with 20 points followed by
Gwynn with II.

Hunter Causes Damage
To Farmers Equipment

AS is the case many times, the
people concerned often cause the
penalties imposed
This week restriction was placed
from hunting on a farm in Enoch
township, belonging to Albert and
Saranes Estadt.
This action was prompted by the
owners because some hunter delib-
erately destroyed the bulbs of the
lightning rod equipment on a barn
located on their farm. An expend-
iture of $125.00 was made recently
to make the property safe from
possible destruction by fire.
This type of nonsense by an ire
sponsible hunter has caused many
farmer to limit hunting, or even
so far to prohibit any hunting on
land over which he has jurisdiction.
In recent years, game organiza-
tions have attempted to halt the in
crease of such destruction, but re-
gardless of effort, someone must
spoil the gains made in bringing
about more mutual understanding
between the hunter and farmer.

The Voters Reply
The write-in-candidate for Seneca
township for trustee is being well
guarded, and his name will not be
announced. 1t has been decided by
the committee, but the voters are
being coached on what name to
write in, we wish him luck.
Our township roads are not in
shape to face the winter storms and
the beating they receive every win
ter, so unless some work is done
on them before the bad days set in,
we will be in for some mighty
poor sledding". Especially the Bates
Hill road, near the Duke ranch,
where there are some drop-o off. They
have been five years studying them,
deciding just how best to remedy
bad situations. At the voting booth
is the place to get work on the roads
done. See you there in November,
and don't forget to write-in your
choice for trustee, for Seneca town
ship.
This and That
1t is said the Bates Hill kennels
will dispose of all its hunting dogs,
as the proprietor will be leaving for
Florida sometime in October. Call
on the Bishop Bates for particulars.
