WASHINGTON, Aug. l.
Terminal leave bonds held by
Monroe county veterans of World
War II have a cash value of from
SI50,OO0 to 100000, according to
the best available Washington
estimates.
Whether ex-GI's convert these
bonds into cash remains to be
seen, but based on the expert
ence of 1886 when the World
War ! bonus bonds were made
Immediately rcdeemable, the
bulk of them will be turned into
money.
President Truman last week re-
luctantly signed the bill passed
by both House and Senate in the
closing hours of the first session
Of the Both Congress. At the
time Of the signing he urged CTS
10 retain the terminal leave
bonds, which earn interest the
same as any government bond.
Meanwhile thee Treasury De-
partment is making arrange
ments with banks TO cash the
bonds. just as they will ca h
United States Savings Bonds.
Terminal leave bonds may be
cashed after September |.
Washington officials of the ma
jOr veterans organizations would
like 10 see ex-GPs either hold
their bonds or use them to rein
state National Service Life In
suTance, but neither these Of
ficials nor the Congressman who
passed the bills are very hope
full that many veterans will fol-
low either course.
Ever since last year when con-
gress and the President agreed to
pay terminal leave to enlisted
men and women in bonds, the
Veterans Administration has
been accepting such bonds for
use in NSLl reinstatement. Not
many veterans have availed
themselves of this privilege. 1t is
doubtful that now, with the adj
ditional pressure of soaring liv'
ing costs, many veterans viii
either hang on to their bonds OF
use them to pay insurance pre-
miums.
Value of bonds held by ex-GPs
throughout Florida is estimated
ut between $25,0OO,OO0 and $780,
100000.

Rose BOOtery Has
Ne,c Fitting DeUice

The latest innovation to assure
fitting your shoes properly is
now in use at The Rose Juvenile
Bootery, 6l9 Duval street. This
latest model X-ray machine
shows whether the shoes you are
wearing-or the shoes you con-
template buying-are the correct
width, length, and shape for your
foot.
This machine concentrates the
X-rays in funnel-shaped beam
directly through the shoe-and-
foot and casts a shadow on a
fluorescent screen. The image is
so clear that you can see the
bone structure of the foot, the
contrasting outlines of the flesh
and the relationship of the foot
to the shoe.
Guess-work in fitting and in
buying children's shoes has been
eliminated by this X-ray shot
filter and assures proper fit and
satisfaction.

Color Guide

For the guidance Of those who
intend to take advantage OF the
return of quality apparel, the
Mems Fashion Guild of New York
recommends that all new pur-
chases be guided by a master
color plan.
Good basic c%olors, say the
Guilds stylists, are the shades
known as harbor blue, skyline red
and liberty gray. Flatterjng to
practically every man, these tones
combine readily, matching or
mixing together to add wide
variety to your ensembles.
Another practical suggestion
from the Mems Fashion Guild is
to e a generous section Of
your wardrobe for casual wear.

Hair Styles

Clinging wisely to what is most
becoming to her particular type,
the American woman refuses to
make either long or short
hair all important. She prefers to
recognize that each can be smart,
adaptable and appropriate around
the clock. And if her hair is long
but she wants a snort effect, up
it goes: if it's short and she wants
a long couture, she invests in real
hair strands to match her own.
