IN MEMORY

In memory of Ernest Oldroyd.
who departed this life, January 13,
1941.
Now your life on earth has ceased
No longer here you roam
But with Gods help, We'll meet
you there,
In heavens happy home.
There all will be so happy
With no sorrow or care
There'll never be any sickness
No shakes or chills up there
Your life on earth was so sweet
An inspiration to all
Well still journey on this narrow
road
Till we hear our Saviour call.
So many friends he left behind
And many loved ones too,
But we know he is not stranger
There, for Jesus helped him
through.
When l think of him I remember
The pain l saw him bear,
But know his faith never
weakened,
AS he went to God in prayer.
Dear Ernest it's sad without you
How can it be you're gone,
We needed you here so badly
This work to help carry on.
But when the church of God arises
And all our work is done,
Your deeds will not be forgotten
Your work will still live on.
Sadly missed by
MOTHER, BROTHERS.
AND SISTER

NEWS FOR
VETERANS

Postal laws and regulations, per-
tanning to the delivery of checks for
a number of benefits administered
by Veterans Administration, have
been modified for the greater con-
venience of veterans and beneficiar-
les receiving the checks.
The new regulations allow the
checks to be placed in city and
county post office boxes, and in mail
receptacles on the routes of city or
rural mail carriers.
Checks affected by the ruling
mainly are for compensation and
pensions of disabled veterans and
beneficiaries of deceased veterans,
and for subsistence allowances of
veterans in training under the G. l.
Bill and Public Law 16.
Readjustment allowance checks
are not included by the regulation,
for they are mailed from state un-
employment compensation agencies,
charged with administering the re-
adjustment allowance program.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1948-01-15

The $175-s20O monthly income
ceiling for veterans taking education
or training under provisions of the
G. l. Bill affects only subsistence
allowances and does not limit actual
wages or salaries which veterans
may receive.
Veterans Administration officials
said that although the law provides
that no subsistence shall be paid be-
yond the point where wages and
subsistence together total SITS
monthly for veterans without de-
pendents, or 5000 with dependents,
there is no limit on wages or salaries
which may be paid veterans in edu-
cation or training status.
In cases where wages and subsis-
tence combined exceed the limita-
tiOns, the subsistence payments are
reduced accordingly to keep within
the ceilings. If wages exceed limita-
tiOns to the extent that no subSist-
ence can be paid, veterans still may
continue their education or training
under the G.. l. Bill, but their enroll
ment will be charged against their
period of eligibility.
Questions and Answers
q. What should the veteran do if
he is not satisfied with the job-train-
ing he receives?
A. That is a matter for the vet
eran to decide himself, but it might
be advisable for him to seek the
counsel of VA training officer. He
can always discontinue his training,
or with VAS permission, he can
switch to another training establish
ment
@. Will my disability compensa-
ton be reduced if 1 60 into train
ing under Public Law 16 or under
the G. l. Bill?
A No.
Q. Will VA pay tuition for vet
eran to attend school while he is
taking on-the-job training under the
G. l. Bill?
A. Yes. VA will pay for such
schooling if his course of study is
related to the vocation for which
he is in training, or if the school
course is prescribed and recon-
mended as part of his job-train-
ing.

Right Age, Slack Scald
Reduce Pin Feathers
By MARRIETTE CUSHMAN

O. Some people think black
chickens are harder TO clean than
light ones. They say they have
more pin feathers. I know a pin
feather is a new feather. and one
kind of a chicken has as many
feathers as others. So it is just be-
cause the light colored ones are
filled with light coloring matter
and they are not noticeable. !
would like to hear what others
think. - Mrs. ]. K. Rosebud
county.
A. You're absolutely correct. All
birds have pin feathers until the
feather is grown out. Hens should
not be marketed until they have re-
covered from the mott and fryers
are not ready for marketing until
they are well fleshened and finished.
Experiment stations have found out
that a high protein ration like chick
starter or a similarly high protein
feed will grow feathers much quick
er than a feed which is high in
carbohydrates and fats.
Pinny birds certainly are hard
to dress but l think you will find
the job easier to do if you slack
scald," that is dunking the birds up
and down in water which is held at
1913 degrees to 100 degrees for one
minute. With this method of dress
ing, the wax around the feather
ends is dissolved and the pin feather
can be removed without causing
an unsightly blemish.
