PROOF NECESSARY
FOR VA BENEFITS
Some death benefits due the
widows and other dependents or
deceased veterans are being de-
layed because of lack of. proof
of changes in the veterans
family status, the Veterans Ad-
ministration warns.
A particular factor causing
delay in payment of benetlts
to widows of some veterans Is
lack of proof of dissolution OF
previous marriages by death,
divorce or annulment.
} To help prevent unnecessary
delay. in death settlements, the
VA suggests that veterans keen

and fireproof location such doc

That's where Cooperation begins.

That's where Cooperation begins.
So what do you do? You and your neigh
bors decide to chip in and buy comparatively.
You and your neighbors are going to share in
the ownership and savings You are not inter
ested in profits, but in service and savings.
After a couple Of seasons you find that
your Coop is doing fine. So you decide to keep
control over your business all the way. You
begin thinking about marketing comparatively
all the way. You want voice in the big market
places, where prices for what you sell and buy
are fixed.
1t all started as an idea But it was an idea
strong enough to take root in the minds of
thousands of farmers

Where Does a Coop Begin?

Cooperative does not start in Timbuktu
or in China. 1t starts right at home
A Cooperative does not start out with
buildings or inventories or big bank account
1t starts out simply as an idea in your own head.
The idea is simply this that farmer ought
to be able to keep bigger share of the food
dollar in his own pocket, and join with others
in buying what he needs without paying excess
prices.
That idea takes root and grows. Other
farmers have the same idea. So you decide to
do something about it.
You know that alone you cannot do any
thing. But you and your neighbors can do
lot working together.
