NEARLY SEVEN BILLIONS FOR VETERANS

There are 188OO,OOO living veterans of the of the United States and the number is still increasing ac- cording report of the Veterans Administration to Congress.
 While there is tendency to regard demoblizaton as completed, the Administration points out that the lv ing veteran population increased by almost 5O0,OO0 in the twelve months ending last June 30h. The veteran population will continue to increase because the armed forces had O0O who served during the period and might eventually return to civil life.
 The Veterans Administration reports that it's expen- dtures in the fiscal year 1948 $6,896 264 628 During the year 676634 veterans received compensa ton for disabilities growing out of the last There were 600 veteran patients in hospitals, with forty nine per cent being veterans of World War H. forty five per cent of World War and the remainder from other conflicts The Administration had on it's staff 3,536 phy sicians 947 dentists and II ,065 nurses.
 Tn addition to the payment of disability claims and the giving of medical care the Administration received 1902 831 applications for educational training dur ing the welve-monhs period and had 520969 veterans engaged in on-the-job training.
 We call attention to the expenditure being made by the nation for the benefit of it's veterans Certainly loyal citizen should object to disability benefits which veterans receive for injuries or to the medical care

VACATION FROM HEAVEN
(By Hal BOyle)

In 1897 an obscure farmer named John Nobody was kicked to death by mule in the vicinity of Peculiar Mo- Having led fairly reasonable life without cheating |anyone-this before the days when man filled out an income tax blank-John went to- Heaven.
 He quickly to the third assistant harp from the
 left in the Heavenly symphony orchestra. But Johns heart wasn't in his harp He was homesick for earth because he had left it too suddenly
 So he pulled all the strings he could-and they were not all on his harp-and made this plea:
 Gimme two-week vacation from Heaven, and then I'll back and strum my harp forever and be tent But right I'm still powerful lonesome man
 We'll he had good straWboss. The said scratch 1 ing himself under the wing: John, you rustic that harp good anybody. But Lonesome man don't make group music. Go back and take your ooksee and we'll keep your job here open" Well, Mr. Nobody finally got his celestial passport okayed and plummeed down toward Missouri
 He landed on his old farm. Motor cars were dipping past the highway that used to be dirt road Right away old John began be little homesck for his harp Along his grandson riding on tractor instead of following mule The tractor halted ''Whoa said the grandson. amazed "Whurr yuh from, old man?" "Fum Heaven" said John. And then as his grandson hesitated, John added testify Don't you believe in Heaven?" Cant say don't" said his grandson cautiously ] 'Is it anywhere near Washington" The young man took John home and apologized be- cause his missus wasn't there Went into Kansas City to the psychiarist he explained shyly "She got another complex last week-just before harvest, too.
 Old John picked up newspaper carrying big black headlines "War Looms"
 l Spain still actin up in Cuba?" he said l "Spain?" said the grandson, Where you been old man? We whipped Spain long ago. We been through Germany twice since then, and Japan too. Now Rus sias acting up.
 | 'Russia?" said John. Law! Where's that?"
 The grandson explained nterrupting his story only once-long enough to go down and pick up govern ment check from the rural postman. Old John walked out into the fields He hitchhiked ride the next big cloud that foaed by They say that after that, his gnarled hands swept his harp in the celestial choir, John Nobody always looked | up He glanced earthward again
