The Veterans
Corner
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
OF INTEREST TO VETERANS

Here are authoritative answers
from the Veterans Administration
to three questions of interest to
former servicemen:
@. Could l get a CT business
loan to help out my brother, who
is having hard time making a
go of his restaurant? l am not
connected in any way with the
restaurant.
A. You may not obtain a CT
business loan for such a purpose.
One of the provisions of the law
is that you must play an active
part in the business for which
you need the loan.
@. AS a member of the Nation
al Guard, | receive drill pay for
short periods of training each
week. l intend to enroll in school
under the CT Bill. When | do so,
must l report my drill pay as in
come, in order for VA to deter
mine the amount of subsistence
allowance | will get?
A. No. Remuneration for such
National Guard training is not
considered as income from pro-
ductive labor and need not be
reported, for it has no bearing
on the amount of subsistence you
will receive.

LETTER TO EDlroR

october ZZ, l95l IDear Editor:
 ] When read your article, "A l ) F Continues Experiment, "
 noticed you said, "EXperi- iments os Afognak and Kodiak | Island in the fertilization of flakes and salmon streams is
 continuing under the direction
 of the Alaska Department of ! Fisheries.
 You actually give us more
 credit than what we deserve
 as the lake fertilization ex- /, pertinent in this area is con-
 ducted by the Fish and Wild life Service through the spon- sorship and financial assis- tance of the local fishermen's union GU. F. of A.). At the recent fishermen's convention,
 another 5000 was voted for further assistance in the ex-
 pertinent.
 Fertilization of lakes is a different undertaking than fertilization of eggs. Fertili- zation of lakes is done to ere ate plankton (minute a uatic life) as food for young sal
 mon; while fertilization of egg is to mix milt extracted
 from ripe male salmon with eggs extracted from ripe fe- male salmon, which is pre-
 liminary procedure to eyeing and stocking. The Washing
 ton Fish and Oyster Company
 at Port Williams constructed the eyeing station and is also donating the useage of a small seine boat in connection with the Paul's Creek project. Such generous cooperation is highly appreciated.

October 23 1851

October 23 l95l Dear Editor:
 In response to your request ! for an expression as to the attitude of some toward the present police program: honestly believe that the chief and his patrolmen are doing an excellent job and that they intend to continue the good work they have started. Inasmuch as alcohol plays some part in over o5ss of the arrests, and all of us have seen numerous instances of abuse both in the sale and consumpt oa, I don't feel any thinking person should squawk too loudly. Business may be a little slow but every year, particularly the time prior to Christmas, we experience this condition to some extent.
 The real barometer for judging the growth of a com- munity is in the bank de- posits, postal receipts, build ing permits, freight move ments and all of these show a steady, healthy increase. You cannot measure a communi- ties growth by the empty whiskey bottles and beer cans at the city dump! What pro- gress is reflected in the bashed in car radiators, smashed lenders, maInutri- tion of some children, the graveyard plots occupied by those called long before their time, broken lives and broken families?
 Ii the Police agencies do anything to correct this situa- tion, 1 feel they are entitled to yours and my support and every taxpayer has an obliga- tion to aid and assist them in their efforts.
 It would seem that you can steal a mans wife, abuse his family, clutter up his yard, poorly house hlm, kick him around without too much com- plaint but if you really want to make him holler-hit him in the pocket book!
 If the prosperity of this community and this nation is dependant on what it's citizenery spends for a human weakness then this prosperity is not very we'll founded nor can it long endure.
 Sincerely yours,
 Emil Knudsen

LETTER TO EDITOR

Dear Editor:
 It is with appreciation 1 re- } spond to your request for pub ! lie opinion about the present Police Department and the enforcement of law. Most of us are grateful for the laws when they protect our own Interests, but we complain when they protect the in- terests of others and we be- come the offender.
 Law sometimes becomes a painful thing, and there are so many of them it is hard to keep from breaking one. Nevertheless, ignorance is no excuse. We should keep our 1 selves informed about new laws that are enacted.
 Law is necessary in the society in which we live. Without laws of creation, the i laws of gravity, the laws i regulating the moon and the sea and the seasons of the year by the course of the sun, life would not be possible upon this planet. Life on earth began with the age of conscience, and our Creator found it necessary to give hu- man kind a law - the Ten Commandments. Many of our laws originated from the principles of these Ten Com- mandments.
 l We seek to build new schools and hire teachers of high standards in moral character and integrity to teach our children to be law-abiding citizens. Our young men in the Service are constantly re- minded over the Armed ! Forces Radio Service that what a nation thinks of De- lmocracy depends on them and how they conduct themselves away from home.
 There would be fewer alcoholic and dope addicts amohg our young people if laws were enforced were they should be. There would not be as many walking skid row and depending on charitable institutions for survival.
 The laws of the City of Ko- diak have been enacted by the elected representatives for the welfare of the community. The police are hired to see that those laws are enforced. l congratulate them on the way they are carrying out their responsibility. The so- called pleasure seekers and those who profteer from their pleasure seeking should not object to a Police Department that is trying to establish for the community a high moral standard and a good repre. sentation of the Democratic principles of government.
 Very Sincerely,
 De Witt Fields
