The bird that never touches
the ground-In the mysterious
world of nature there are manv
creatures that exhibit unusual
abilities. Such a creature Is the
amazing Chimney Swift. The
Chimney Swift never touches
the earth under any circum-
stances, except by accident. Per-
haps one of its most unusual
traits is its habit of eating while
flying through the air, catching
small flying insects. AS its name
implies, this swift lives in chin
neys or hollow trees, but it
much prefers the chimney. In
other words, this little bird
spends most of its living hours
in the air.

these two great football in
stitutions for some time to
come and the result of the
struggle should last long in
the memory of football fans.
But, of course, the Bowl"
games will be the most i'm
portant games to the follow
ers of the teams which will
compete in those yearly
classics.
The thousands of high
schools in the United States
are also looking to a banner
year in attendance. Because
of their superior numbers,
these schools of secondary
training will outshine their
college neighbors in attend

the truth of the statements

VETS MAIL BAG i

The Veterans Administration has
announced that it will extend COM
pensation payments to veterans who
have been discharged from VA hos
pitfalls with arrested pulmonary tu-
berculosis but who need more time
at home in which to recover suffi-
GENTLY to take a job without en-
dangering their health.
The new plan permits payments
to these veterans on a totally dis
abled basis up to two years from
date of discharge from any VA hos
pital while they remain under close
medical supervision.
Previously, payments were reduced
by so per cent within six months of
the veterans discharge.
Under the new plan, these veter-
ans are examined every six months.
If the examination indicates they
r unable to resume employment
safely, physicians certify their find
ings so that the VA may determine
whether to continue full compensa-
ton payments for an additional six
months.
VA expects this plan to result in
better control of arrested pulmon-

Veterans, their dependents and
beneficiaries who are in receipt of
monetary benefits from the Veter-
ans Administration should notify the
VA Immediately upon changing their
legal mailing address.
Benefit checks, such as those for
subsistence allowances, insurance
disability and death compensation,
cannot be forwarded to another ad-
dress, VA said. These checks must
be returned to the treasury, caus-
ing a delay in receipt of the bene-
fits for whom they are intended.
The VA said it is concerned par
ticularly with veterans enrolled in
schools and colleges where changes
in address occur frequently. In all
cases, every change of address must
be reported to VA promptly if de-
lays in delivery of checks are to
be avoided.
Question of the week. =
Q. If l accept the compensation
check the VA has sent me-, does
mean that l am setisfied with
the rating given me?
A. No. Acceptance of a check
loes not waive any rights you may
nave in claiming greater compensa-
ion or pension than that which was
awarded you.

Deer and Elk Dangerous

Bambi, the deer, and Elmer, the
elk, a be dangerous neighbors for
Farmer Jones' cattle and sheep
no matter how friendly they are.
The danger, described in a commit
tee report at the convention of
American Veterinary Medical asso-
citation, lies in the fact that deer
and elk are natural carriers of a
tiny parasite called "fascioloides
magma" In deer and elk, the para
site does little harm and rarely
causes noticeable illness. In cattle
and sheep, it causes the disease
oliver fluke." The committee asked
for alertness where sheep range
over territory occupied by deer or
elk.

 Historic 'Aid' Bill

KANSAS CITY, (P)-President Truman yesterday signed the $4OO, 100000 Greek Turkish aid bill setting in force a historic American foreign policy of bol- stering weak countries against outside aggression as a support to the United Nations.
 He called it "an important step in. the building of peace" and said it offered proof" that the United States will make "a vigorous eff fore to help create conditions of peace"
 "The conditions of peace," he said, include the ability of na- tions to maintain order and inde- pendence and to support them selves economically"
 The President, his face drawn and worried after anxious days at his mothers sickbed, read his statement to a group of reporters.
 Looking up from the text he de- parted from it <once to reiterate that the bill .is step for peace and support of the United Ma tions."

 He also signed immediately an executive order transferring cer- tain administrative authority to the secretary of state.
