An Appeal

Dear Friend
Please pardon this intrusion but

two families whom I've had
chance to observe.
FAMILY NO. /. State, Mis-.
sissiDpi - The family consists OF
members. Mother and father are
relatively young, but live in al
most unbelievable conditions.
Since 1910 they have been trying
10 pay for farm. Unfavorable
weather and cropping conditions
have resulted in almost complete
failure for them. Thus their eco.
monte condition grew worse and
worse. despite their tireless eff.
forts Il attest to this after inves.
tigation, inquiry, etc. to become
respectable citizens through own.
ership and proper living. I quote
from the wife and mother: 1--WE
made every possible sacrifice; ]
have not had a new dress since
1870. When | last visited there.
the little boys were wearing dres.

dence was the protective coating

Dependency Benefits
Clarified on Recruits

BOSTON, Mass. 49, mforma-
ton was released today by Ma
ior Douglas A. McKillip, Com
manding officer of the Army
Recruiting Station at SIS Ire
mont st. that those men now
entering the Army still have
the privilege Of receiving the
family allowances as has been
the practice all during the war.
There have been some mis-
understandings and misinter-
pretations regarding the de-
tendency allowance provisions"
said the Major, chat have
caused much difficulty. The
Armed Forces Recruitment Act
of 1916 guaranteed that these
benefits were valid for the dur
alton of the war plus six
months. The war has not been
officially declared over. The
proclamation issued by the
President on Jan. l, 1947 did not
declare the end of the war but
merely eliminated some Of the
wartime controls that had been
established"
