Carries Lucky Coin
In Mouth 80 Years

GEORGIANA, Ala. - amp
Just to prove you can get used to
anything, Charlie Boggan, section
hand on the L. and N. railroad, has
been carrying a dime around in his
mouth for 3S years. Boggan says
it's for good luck and refers to his
grandfather, Sip Faggan, a success
full farmer who did the same thing
for 90 years.
Tarnished by age and chemical re-
action, Boggan's good luck remains
in his right jaw day and night. It
was first placed there in 1917, when
Boggan was 10 years old, a lucky"
year he was told by Grandpa F'ag-
gan.
The charm works, insists Boggan,
since he has never been sick and
never out of work. During the job
less depression days, he was ap-
pointed porter at the Georgiana post,
office over a number of other appli-
cants.
A word of advice for any would
be imitators: first two months are the
hardest says Boggan. He found it
worried him so that he could hardly
sleep, but now he seldom thinks
Of it until someone asks to see the
strange lucky piece.

On the common ground upon

Truth In Rhine

BY William Henry. Huff for AMP
The hate hog always wollows
In a pool of sludge and slime;
The hit dog always hollows,
When the probe is near his crime;
The big thief points a finger
At the innocent and weak
While he will boldly linger
Like a harmless lamb and meek.

For a 100 per cent disabled vet
eran service-connected) the in
crease will be a nice Christmas
present. It will give him $12 a
month extra.
But benefits under another part
of the law that provided the 81
per cent increase do have to be
applied for. That's the section
extending special dependency al
lowances to all veterans having at
least a so per cent disability.
(Those who have 60 per cent or
more disabilities already get it,
If the VA does not have on rec
!. ord by December l listing of de-
pendents, the extra amounts will
not be retroactive to December /.
Joe Clark, World War II vet
eran, has a so per cent disability
rating, wife, three children and
a mother who lives with the fam
lily and is Joe's dependent.
Joe never took any schooling
under the CT bill, or Public Law 16
for that matter. So the VA does
not have any official record Of his
wife, his children and his depend
ent mother. Without that infor-
nation, how can the VA know to

for his dependents?
Joe ought to get a letter of

them back to December PRO

May /.
If he doesn't give VA proof by
May /, the payments will start as
of the date the proof is furnished.
What kind of proof is needed?
Start at the beginning again.
Joe writes his regional Office by
December /, listing his five de-
pendents. Next he gets certified
copies of the birth certificates of
his three children and of his mar
riage certificate. They are suf-
f1cient proof.
But that leaves his dependent
mother unaccounted for. What
does he do about her? He gets
VA form $500, a proof-of-de-

That done, he sends the four
certified copies with the form to
his VA regional Office. When ad-
Indicated by the VA, the allow

as Of December l.
The additional allowances Joe
will get are: $2S for wife and
children and $S.75 for his de-
pendent mother, or a total of
$36.75 a month tackled onto his

delayed until Friday the -Four
Power talks on an Austrian indie

gotiations had been scheduled tc
begin today.
The talks are designed to pro-

September. The Big Four Foreign
Ministers at their recent Paris
conference apparently settled the
major differences between Russia
and the West over an Austrian
pact.
Russia's call for a delay in the
Deputies talks was said to be due
to the fact thatlAmbassado Georgi

from Moscow. zarubin, the Soviet
Deputy on Austria, went to Mos
