Vets MAILBAG
BENEFICIARIES RECEIVE
SPECIAL N.S.L.I. DIVIDEND

National service life insurance
dividend checks amounting to
81, 143,5 $50 were mailed this week
to 1910 beneficiaries of deceased
veterans in the Pacific northwest,
the veterans administration has
announced.
This represents approximately
IS per cent of the payments due
beneficiaries of deceased veterans
whose policies we're in force at
time of death, the VA said. The
balance of the checks will be pro-
cessed as rapidly as possible and
all payments are expected to be
completed by June 80.
First to receive the special div
idend checks are those beneficiaries
who are now receiving monthly
N.S.L.I. benefits. Next in line will
be those who received their insur-
ance benefit in a lump sum pay
ment.
A third group to receive dividend
payments will be those heirs shown
to be entitled to the estate of a
veteran whose insurance was
lapsed at time of death. Even
though the policy was not in force,
a dividend is payable for the time
the policy was maintained in good
standing.
Since heirs to the estate must be
legally established before payment
of dividends, distribution of checks
in this group will necessarily be
much slower. Only a small number
of checks in this category have
been mailed to date.
Beneficiaries and heirs who have
not yet received their dividend
checks are requested not to write
the VA. Such inquiries will only
slow the processing of claims for
payment.

started in l949.
With new club now getting

ing 1949, the total club enroll
ment reached 62,816 in Abs loc-
al clubs.
Of the 1887 different pro-
jects started 64,582 were carried
to completion. He credits local
advisors, of which there were
1858 last year, as being prime
factors in encouraging club
youths to make the most of their
projects.
Each year, the advisors after
completing S. 10, IS, 20 and 25
years of service are presented a
special Glover" award in cere-
monies at Ohio State University.

mer is a kind of paradise. From
one of our own high hills we
overlook several thousand acres
of the conservancy district.
"I can testify that it is per-
haps the greatest and most re-
warding single project ever un-
dertaken by the state"
Mr.. Bromfield, known
throughout the nation as an en-
thusiastic conservationist as well
as an author, traces the history
of the district, created in 1888 to
stop floods in Is counties in east
ern Ohio, and declares it a model
to be followed throughout the
country.
ct is reasonable to say that if
all our watersheds were control
led as the Muskingum Water
shed is controlled, the flood and
siltation bill for damages paid
by the nation would be reduced
at least rs percent, and there
would be little need for the mil
lions spent annually in repairs
and dredging and other upkeep".
Speaking or the recreational
facilities afforded by the 10 per-
manent lakes in the district, he
says: 'It has created a necklace
of beautiful lakes as lovely as
any to be found in the English
lake country.
"There is boating, bathing,
fishing, camping and hunting
close at hand for the Ohio mil
lions who live in great industrial
cities like Cleveland, Youngs-
town, Akron, Toledo, Columbus,
Cincinnati, Dayton and many
smaller industrial communities.
"City dwellerS need drive only
a couple of hours at the most to
find beautiful lakes and some of
the finest fishing in the world"
He pay tribute to the organ
izers of the plan and to Bryce
Browning, secretary of the dis
trict with the declaration that
the district "has stopped dead
in its tracks the threat of future
death and disaster from flood in
an area covering 8,038 square
miles of rich and beautiful Ohio
land"
'There is no longer any doubt
about the workability and the
great benefits of the pattern. The
district has been in operation
long enough to prove itself

gently and spends much time at
the grade school crossing to in
sure the safety of pupils on the
hill top.
A short address by Gilbert
Weekley, principal of the Cald-
we'll high school, dealt with the
possibility of a local senior re-
ceiving one of ten new scholar
ships offered by the Ohio par
ent teachers association. Mr..
Weekley said students would be
selected for aptitude, personal
ity, scholarship and teaching
ability. The scholarship allows
students 5000 a year and can be
renewed if the student ScholaS-
tic standing is above average.
Students furthering their educa-
ton through the scholarship
funds must promise to teach for
at least one year following
graduation. If for any reason
they drop out of school, they
are required to refund any part
of the scholarship funds spent
in the education. Applications
must be filed with the Ohio
parent teachers association by
April IS.
A cast of characters in cos
tunes of the gay ninety era pre-
sented a pageant, prior to the
business meeting. The pageant
represented the founding of the
parent teachers association and
followed its growth through the
nineteenth and twentieth CEN
turies up to the present time.

charge of the program presented
