Moppets Mid-Afternoon Meals

Are your moppets after-school re-
frigerator raiders? Do they pillage
the pantry of supper's planned-for
provender? Forestall their forays!
Organize snack campaign that will
meet their boundless appetites half
way.
Active students need fast refueling
after a day in the classroom. But
its important that they stoke up on
the kinds of foods that energize,
build bones and Drawn, provide
their jack-and-the-beanstalk bodies
with the elements they need to grow
on.
Remember this is at best sup
Elementary feeding, and should be
stage managed to do that job alone.
Whit they need is a tide-over till
dinner time; just enough to give
them an afternoons allotment of
sand-lot wallop and zeal. Left to
themselves, most India-rubber ap-
petited urchins will gorge at will
and, eating haphazardly, spoil their
supper.
If such family frets beset you, add
snack makings to your daily menu
plans; control those mid-afternoon
meals by providing the provender
yourself. Keep milk on hand; it's
essential for growth and wonderful
at filling up spare hooks and cram
nies. Cheese is indispensable to
sandwiches; lettuce, celery, green
pepper and carrots add crunch and
nutrients they need. Peanut butter
is powerhouse of body building
protein; honey has mellihuous
charm of immense appeal to chill
dren.
And raisins are great flavor
pepper-upper as well as famous
energizers. Being 70so natural fruit
sugar-an excellent source of fuel
--raisins can be counted on to give
growing children that extra squirt of
vitality they need. Try making some
of these sandwich filings, right after
lunch. Do a different variety each
day, and leave them in the refrig-
orator SO your small fry can spread
their own when they come home:

/ Questions and answers.
Query from A. H., Hyattsville, Md. /:
Are women veterans entitled to
free dental care? If so, where may
this care be obtained?"
Any veteran can get free dental
care II he or she can prove the
dental disability is service
The VA provides treatment in its
own facilities or, If none is available,
in private dentists Offices. Go to
your regional VA office to get ap-
proval before going to a private
dentist II you don't, you'll have a
tough time trying to get q refund
on what you paid
From E. L., Spokane: sI'm getting
$50 q month subsistence allowance
under the CT bill. If Congress ever
votes us bonus, will that money be
deducted from whatever amount I'd
rate2"
No, not under the present setup.
It's specifically made plain in the
CT bill that no benefits under the
bill shall be deducted from any
future adjusted compensation or
bonus.
OF course, Congress could change
this provision and demand, should
bonus be voted. that deductions be
made.
From j. A. S., Washington: "I
would like to know If on-the-job
training is considered to be Govern
ment employment"
No. it isn't. while taking job
training you're working for the outfit
giving the training. That's, where
you get your wages. The Govern
ment is simply giving you subsistence
allowance, which is not considered
part OF your wages, and Is tax free.
From w. G. P, Angola, Ind: 'I
served in the Canadian Army for
two years and was discharged to
enlist in our own Army. Am I
eligible for a bond or bonus from the
Canadian government
I'm told that the Veterans Ad-
ministration is the place for you to
go to find out. The VA can make
the arrangements for you to get any
benefits you rate from the Canadian
government.
If that doesn't work, write the
Department of Veterans Affairs,
Ottowa, Canada, and ask them.
From A. p, Olyphant, Pa: What
is the difference between disability
pension" and disability compensa-
tion," as defined by the VA?"
There's none, except that the sec
ond is officially right, the first
officially wrong. It's disability "con.-
pensation" because veterans who are
getting it are being compensated for
disabilities they received during the
war. But in the case of widows and
dependent parents, It's pension.
death pension, It lasts for life Gun
less the widow remarries), whereas
compensation changes as the dis
ability changes.
From F. j. L., Lawrence, Mass:
I am drawing 10 per cent disability
compensation. If I get sick and have
to go to a hospital, will my family
receive any financial help from the
Government"
None under VA benefits.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The House
of Representative has just taken
another big step to fulfill a Repub-
lican campaign pledge. 1t has pass
ed bill which rewrites and re-
forms labor legislation not only 60
balance the scales between industry
and labor, but to protect the public.
1t is bill, written after long and
searching hearings, intended for no
ether purpose than to end the evils
which have developed and grown
under the discriminatory legislation
of the New Deal.
The Senate is not far behind the
House in this matter. It's bill, also
written after exhaustive Labor
Committee hearings, is ready for
consideration by the full Senate. 1t
differs in not few respects from the
House measure, but the basic pur-
poses are the same, namely, to end
certain labor practices constituting
basic causes of the strikes which
have plagued the American Public
for years.
1t is milder bill than the one
passed by the House, but that is not
the point. The point is this: the Re-
publican majority is moving care
fully to fulfill major campaign
pledge.
Neither bill interferes with the
fundamental rights of labor. The
right of collective bargaining
through agents of the unions own
choice and the right to strike are
preserved. However, the jurisdic-
tiOnal strike, one of the greatest of
the evils arising out of the New
Deal labor policy, is banned by both
bills.
This is one of the most important
OF the reforms, since its aim is to
end one of the greatest of the evils
in employer employee relations.
For years now the jurisdictional
strike has been used by one union
Tor no other purpose than to gain
power over another union. In most
cases, its purpose has been to COM
pei an employer to violate a con-
tract entered into with a union un-
der the Wagner Labor Relations
Act, despite the fact that he was
living UP to that contract in every
respect. Banning of the secondary
boycott is another provision the
bills have in. common.
Both bills also would outlaw the
closed shop but permit other forms
OF union security upon voluntary
agreements. The House bill is aim
ed, in one specific inhibition. at
limiting industry-wide bargaining.
Ihls provision does not yet appear
in the Senate bill

peal that persuades inveterate
drinkers to go on the wagon after
years of heavy continuous or per-

The answer is as compelling as
I the results.
Alcoholics Anonymous owes it's
existence to the collaboration of
j New York StOckbroker and an Ak

majors insisted that the movement
be Kept on a self-supporting basis.
All over the country the same
amazing story is being told. Small
local groups are being started, US
ing the principals of the original
unit as the basis of their opera

men and women, whose names re-
main anonymous, discuss their NIL
tual problem and try to help each
other toward a sane solution tn
thelr distorted lives. One of the
most remarkable phases of A. A

as they do for themselves.
This splendid organization has
no false undertones of evangelism
or self-righteousness. The mem

and stations of life; rich and Door
great and obscure. They do not
enter into realms of religion or
other private beliefs. They are in
terested only on effecting the com

Everyone is urged to attend the
