CHI ian for March
Of Dimes Will
Hold Meeting

can emergency meeting of Arizo-
ma Chapter chairman and March
of Dimes workers for the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis,
will be held in Phoenix November
6 at the Hotel Westward Ho, ac-
cording to Henry Goodman, state
March of Dimes director.
Polio cases for 1948 now totaling
over $4,000 threaten to reach the
$4,000 mark, the worst epidemic
year in history. With 140 cases to
date, Arizona has experienced the
greatest number of victim since
the epidemic of 1943 when 1876
were afflicted.
Throughout the country every
effort is being made to provide the
best of medical aid for every pa
tient, and so far as it known, not
one case of polio has failed to re-
ceive the utmost care. Because of
the emergency, the epidemic aid
reserve of the National Foundation
is now at the vanishing point. More
than $2,50O,00O has been spent and
it is estimated that the fund will
face a 100000 deficit by Janu-
ary. This money, borrowed from
research funds, will have to be re-
placed, polio officials said.
Two counties in Arizona have re-
ceived advances from National this
year totaling $50, $50 after their
local March of Dimes funds were
exhausted. They are: Maricopa
$13,25O and Pima $4,000. 1t is the
second time within two years that
help has been dispatched to Mari
copa. An advance of $4,000 was
made in 1916 after local funds were
gone, and to date only 1000 has
been repaid.
Maricopa Chapter of the Foun-
dation has expended $22,596 this
year in providing medical aid for
295 patients.

Veterans News
Check Your @. I.

There are approximately 415,000
veterans of World War II in the
Veterans Administration Branch IL
area california, Arizona, Nevada
and HaWaiD who have retained
their National Service Life Insur-
ance, Veterans Administration re-
ports.
One of the most important things
for veterans to do about their G
insurance is the naming of bene-
ficiary or beneficaries of their pol
icies, VA points out.
Unless a veteran gives this mat
ter thoughtful consideration, he
may fail to get the most out of his
insurance. For instance, if no bene-
ficiary is named, the policyholder
may be risking financial loss to
his heirs. Up to August 1, 1916, it
was not absolutely necessary for
the veteran to name primary and
contingent beneficiaries because
the law provided for payment of
the insurance to legal heirs in a
specified order. Now, however, if
the veteran dies without naming a
beneficiary, or if the beneficiary
should die before the policyholder,
the insurance will be paid in a
lump sum to the veterans estate.
If this happens, and the insur-
ance becomes part of an estate, it
is subject to all the laws governing
estates, including claims of credi-
tors, administrators fees and court
expenses. Thus the veterans heirs
might easily lose some of the in
surance money which they might
otherwise have received.
On the other hand, if the veter-
an names a specific beneficiary and
the insurance is paid to him or her,
it is exempt from taxation and
from any claims made by creditors.
The money is not liable to attach
ment, levy or seizure under any
legal process, either before or after
receipt by the beneficiary. The
only exception to this rule is that
the u. S. Government may make
claims against the insurance.
Hence, veterans can protect their
heirs against possible financial loss
by naming a beneficiary, and they
can add to that protection by NAM
ing contingent beneficiary to
whom the insurance is to be paid
if the first beneficiary should die
without receiving the money.

Baha'i Lecturer
Visits Arizona
From Australia

DR.. Stanley Bolton of Yerrinbool,
Australia, is visiting Baha'is in
Phoenix and Tucson. A member of
the Baha'i World Faith, he has
spoken to various religious gather
ings in the United States including
the Bahai Summer School near
Detroit, Michigan. He pointed out
that Australia is one of ninety
countries in which the Baha'i Faith
is firmly established.
It is interesting to note that al
though the Bahai Faith originated
in Persia it was an American Ba-
hal couple, Mr.. and Mrs. Hyde
Dunn, who carried the Message of
Baha'u'llah to Australia and New
Zealand over Is years ago. Since
then it has taken firm foothold in
six of the seven states of Australia,
including Tasmania Gone of the
SouthermoSt islands of the World)
The first Australian Baha'i~Sum-
mer School which includes lecture
rooms, dormitories and other IA
cilities, was established at Bolton
Place, Yerrinbool, in 1896. It's pur-
pose is to demonstrate the practi-
cal application of religion in the
everyday life of the individual,
with no discrimination of race,
creed or color.
DR.. Bolton has been a student at
the Palmer School of Chiropractic
in Davenport, Iowa, where he re-
Gently received his degree as Doc
tor of Chiropractic.
He states that there is no race
relations problem in Australia and
New Zealand, and he was quite as
tonished to find the sharp rectal
prejudices as they exist in the u.
S. He was glad to observe that
there is no discrimination at Phoe-
nix College and other colleges in
the state.

Air Force Recruiter
Tells of Benefits
Open to Volunteers

Benefits and opportunities open
to Arizona men who can qualify
for three-year enlistments in the
u. S. Air Force were described to-
day by Major Raymond Black,
Commanding Officer of the AriZo-
ma Recruiting District.
ITO build the mighty air power
that the American People want"
Major Black said, "your Air Force
calls for volunteers. The Air Force
is volunteer Service today, and it
will continue to be so in the fore
seeable future"
He pointed out that men who
volunteer for the Air Force for
three, four, five or six years will
receive the worlds finest aviation
training. In addition, if they quail
fly for technical grades, they can
earn the equivalent of $4,000 to $5,-
600 year in net civilian pay.
Career opportunities in the Air
Force are unexcelled," Maj. Black
said. "These include not only the
Aviation Cadet and Air Force Off
Ger Candidate School Programs but
also the Air Force Specialized Tr.
Schools, offering more than 35
courses in various fields.
"The Aviation Cadet Program,
in which thousands of flying Off
GERS are trained each year, allows
unmarried men between the ages
of 20 and 263, who have completed
two years of college or the equiva-
lent, to sign up for the finest pilot
training in the world" Maj. Black
said. Successful graduates are
commissioned as Second Lieuten-
ants in the Air Force Reserve and
given an opportunity to qualify for
Regular Air Force commissions.
"The Air Force Officer Candi-
date School," Major Black said,
"is open to men with two years of
college or the equivalent, between
20A and 26a, who demonstrate out
standing qualities of leadership and
can meet other qualifications. All
graduates are commissioned as
Second Lieutenants in the Air
Force Reserve, and assigned to ac-
tive duty"
These specialized training schools
he explained, are open to all high
school graduates, or to men who
can qualify, any time after COM
pletion of basic training, as vacan-
cieS occur. These schools offer
more than 35 different courses in
a wide variety of fields including
airplane maintenance, aviation spe-
cialties, armament, radio, radar,
wire communications, photography,
utilities, and construction.

CheStSD Demonstration
In Democracy,
Says Truman

Washington, D. c. declaring
that America today is stage upon
which a drama of human destiny
is being appraised by the critical
eyes of all the world, President
Truman endorsed the Red Feather
Community Chest campaigns as a
demonstration in practical democ-
racy."
Red Feather campaigns, which
this year also include an appeal for
support of the reactivated USO,
are as American as "E Pluribus
Unum," for the Red Feather, too,
has brought one out of many, the
President said, pointing out that
the Red Feather campaign is many
campaigns in one.
"What Americans think, what
Americans say, what Americans do
is causing people in other lands to
decide whether they want our way
of living or another" said the Pres
dent. "At the core of our demo-
cratic tradition is the American
ideal of working, living, giving to-
gether so all may benefit.

Safety Awards
In Fiscal Year
Set New Record

The American Red Cross set a
new peacetime record in the last
fiscal year by issuing more than
], 100000 certificates for compile
ton of courses in first aid, water
safety and accident prevention.
Total number of certificates was
1 LII, ,29O as compared with 848, 1884
for the previous year. Of the 1948
total 406,898 were for first aid;
636,224 for water safety and 74, ,168
for accident prevention. These COM
pare with the following for the
1947 fiscal year: first aid, 346,871;
water safety, 47O,390; and accident
prevention, 81, ,723.
Of the total accident prevention
certificates, approximately $4,000
were for completion of junior
courses. Both the water safety and
accident prevention figures are
record breaking for any one fiscal
year. Red Cross officials said the
increased first aid total reflected
IAN increasing peacetime> interest
in first aid training, particularly in
industry, in schools and among en-
forcement officials, such as police
and firemen."
The Red Cross pointed out in
connection with its expanded wa
ter safety program that since 1914,
when the courses were begun, the
country's drowning rate has been
cut in half-from 10.4 to persons
per 100000 population. And this is
despite the fact that the number
of persons engaged in water sports
has multiplied many times.
However, drowning still ranks
fourth as a cause of accident death.
The top three are, motor vehicle
accidents, falls and burns, in that
order. A total-of 1880 persons
drowned in this country in 1947.
Traffic accidents claim one person
killed every 16 minutes and more
than 100 injured every hour.

Arizona is Second
Alfalfa Seed Grower
Among States

The production of alfalfa seed in
Arizona in 1948 was estimated at
100000 bushels of thresher run
seed by the Federal Crop and Live
stock Reporting Service. This pro-
duction is 49 per cent less than the
1947 production of POI, 900 bushels
and per cent less than the 1937-46
average of 111,800 bushels. Arizona
ranked second among the states in
alfalfa seed production in 1948.
Utah ranked first with 126,0O0
bushels.
In terms of clean seed Arizona's
production this year amounted to
5,160,000 pounds as compared to
100000 pounds in 1947. The loss
in cleaning this year was estimated
at 16 per cent as compared with
II per cent last year. The carry
over on farms was placed at 1885,
600 pounds.
