Planning for Dual Purpose
Is Key 10 New Farm Home

Farmers planning new homes
should consider the double function
Of farm houses-as centers Of social
life for the family and as a small
factory for grading, sorting and pre-
pairing farm products for market
when deciding on the construction,
size and arrangement Of the house,
according to agricultural engineers.
Planning Tor storage. kitchen
improvements, a laundry a bath
room, living room and other desir-
able conveniences is the key to a
good, comfortable. well arranged
farmhouse, engineers assert, add
ing that Satisfactory farm living
depends to a large degree upon the
farm dwelling"
Perhaps the farm dwelling only
needs repairing or remodeling.
Basic materials available on the
farm, such as lumber, gravel and
stone. can be used by regular farm
help during slack seasons to inn
prove the farm home or It's living
conditions at smaller cash outlay
than if bought materials are used.
Other farm building also should
receive the attention Of long-range
farm planners. Efficient farm oper-
alton depends on adequate farm
buildings. Those designed to pro-
mote labor efficiency and to provide
for the health and comfort Of ami
mails aren't always the most expen-
Sive to construct. Costs Of repairs
can be reduced by doing the Job in
slack seasons.
Use Of funds for good machinery
and equipment also deserves care
full consideration. It's easy to buy
too much machinery and saddle the
farm with costs not justified by In
creases in income. Eficient equip
ment, however, is essential to sue
cessful farm operation, regardless
Of whether the land is owned or
rented or the operator is just start
ing or has been in business for
many years.

Dear Joe
BY JAMES L. HICKS

The Veterans Administration is
in IA blue funk over what to do
about some 10000 veterans who
contracted syphilis during their
military service but did not learn
they had it until they took their
final physical examination while be
ing discharged at the reception cen
ters
Under existing regulations, it is
illegal for the VA to follow up
these men and give them treatment
for the disease.
The legal entanglements are so
strong that the VA can't touch the
men in the early stages Of the dis
ease when treatment would be most
effective No, no. that would make
too much sense. The law requires
that the man must first be disabled
by the disease before he can be
treated at a VA hospital. By the
time syphilis begins to show visible
signs Of disabling a man he is in
pretty bad shape.
But that's the law-and what's
mOre-if the veteran can't prove
that he contracted the disease in
the service. he still can't be
treated at a VA hospital.
The regulations governing the
VAS action are so tightly drawn
that many a veteran who contract
ed the disease in the service actual
ly is not able to get free treatment
because he can't meet the require
ments Of the law.
In order for syphilitic veteran
to be treated at a VA hospital he
must prove that the disease was
contracted in the service, that he
reported to medical authorities "at
the earliest manifestation of the
disease" and that he accepted the
army's or navy's treatment Of the
disease to proved conclusion
thereof"
This earliest manifestation"
and "the proved conclusion there
Of" have not been defined by law
and their definition is causing
the VA and Joe plenty Of trouble.
For instance, suppose Joe had
one last fling with his Australian
girl in Sidney on the night before
he flew to New Guinea for combat.
Nine days later and 1000 miles
away on an island he suddenly be-
comes suspicious that his madam
had not been too discreet and he
reports to the aid station for exam
inatiOn.
Now the boys in combat don't
90 in for a lot Of records. They
should, but anyone who has been up
there can easily understand why
they don't.
The chances are that Joe will be
evacuated to the Australian main
land for disqualification there but
when the records are made up there
they will show that he did not re-
port his ailment until six weeks
after he had been exposed.
The conclusion is that Joe tried
to cover up his ailment, the verdict
will be that he failed to comply
with regulations about reporting it
and the net result is that he will
be ruled ineligible for treatment Of
the disease as veteran.
The VA can't do anything for
him, Public Health is scared to
touch the matter because it's loaded
with dynamite, and Joe is the ham
IN n pretty rotten sandwich.
An added VA worry is the dis
closure that the penicilin cures"
given servicemen for syphilis dur
ing the war are proving to be from
20 to 30 per cent failures.
More than 10000 who were
given these cures have never had
an examination of their spinal fluid
following the cure and now no one
actually knows whether they are
cured or not.
II YOU are one who took the
"curc." Joe, you'd better SEC your
doctor.

Closer economic cooperation
between the non-self-govern-
ing territories of the
Caribbean, and especially the
reduction of the tariff barriers
now existing between them,
was strongly advocated at the
recent session Of the West In
dian Conference.
The Conference was unani-
mously in favor of recording
its recognition Of the impor-
lance Of lowering and indeed,
wherever possible, Of remov-
ing customs barriers between
the various territories partici-
pating in the Conference if
these territories are to realize
their ambitions in the realm
Of industrialization agricultu-
raj Investigation and the pro-
motion Of inter-territorial
trade.
The Conference fully appre-
ciated the difficulties attend
ing such proposals, the most
general Of which arises from
the fact that the national
groups Of territories are at pre-
sent associated with the pre-
ferential customs and tariff
systems Of their respective me
tropolitan governments; nor.
did the delegates overlook the
fact that those preferential sys
TENS provide in varying de-
grees protection and security
in marketing for the great sta
pie export crops Of the Carib-
bean territories concerned.
a particular difficulty was
also seen to arise III the case Of.

customs systems have been

The Conference was also a.

ments Including those negoti-
ated at Geneva and Havana)
and their related most-favored
nation clauses.
Nevertheless, the Confer
ence was so impressed with
the Importance of reducing &
removing any barriers to in
tra-regional trade that it urged
that no effort should be spared
by the Caribbean Commission
IN sponsoring and promoting
the study of Caribbean terrific
rial tariffs with a view to their
reduction.
The Conference adopted
resolutions:
O that the Commission
should elicit the views and,
it is hoped, obtain the active
support both of metropoli-
tan powers and of the con-
stituent territorial govern
ments and their respective
legislative bodies in this
matter:

of tariff barriers within this
region and the framing Of
specific recommendations
to member governments for

sirable, of extending the.

In making these recommen-

cularly had in mind the nego-
currently proceeding

Conference felt that closer eco

logically complementary to the

where in Western Europe

Of such negotiations, place
