Watch Your Income Says National VA.

Veterans Administration officials are urging all veterans and wid- owS receiving non-service-connecf pension payments from the VA to keep an accurate check on their income to make sure that it does not exceed statutory limits.
 Under the law, annual income in excess of certain amounts must be reported and VA will stop pen sion payments which by law may not be made if income in excess of stated amounts is received.
 VA said that by reporting the change in any anticipated income. veterans and widows receiving the payments will be spared the trouble and hardship of repaying the Gov ernment for any large overpay- ments which will result if VA is not notified promptly. Amended VA regulations (122S (A) (3O dir ect that failure to report excessive income will result in overpayments SuuJcCt lO recovery.
 Where the VA is notified prom. ptly. pension payments will be discontinued effective the date of the last payment. However, where the veteran or widow fails to inform the VA promptly, dis continuance will be retroactive to January 1 of the calendar year in which the excessive amount was received, and steps taken to re- cover the entire overpayment.
 In the event the income ques- tionaire of the succeeding year shows the anticipated income for the current year to be less than the statutory limits any pension payments then due will be with held until the entire overpayment for the prior calendar year is liquidated.
 Income limitations for any calen- dar year are: $1,40O for veteran without wife or child, or widow without children, or $2,7OO for either with elegible dependents. QUESTION OF THE WEEK Q. l am a World War II veteran training under the original CT Bill. Next month expect to finish my course. Since have some en. titlement remaining, would I be allowed to enroll in another course in a different field.
 A. No. Once you complete or discontinue course under World War II GI Bill, you generally are prohibited from taking another course, even though you do have additional entitlement.

Girl Scouts Observing Anniversary Week

The week of October 31 to Nov ember is being celebrated nat, ionally as Girl Scout week.
 One week each year is set aside to commemorate the birthday of Juliette Low, founder of Girl Scout ing in the United States.
 The Girl Scouts and Brownie Scouts know it as the Seven Ser vice Days, namely Home making, Monday; Citizenship, Tuesday; Health and Safety, Wednesday; International Friendship, Thurs day; Arts and Crafts, Friday. and Out of Doors, Saturday. The whole program of scouting is based on these service fields.
 Scouting in Seward is getting a firmer footing as we go into our fourth year of being organized. There is, however, real need for greater interest to be shown among the adults. More troops could be started if We had more adults to volunteer for leaders or CO., leaders.
 Juliette Low was so right back in 1912 when she said "I have found the greatest thing yet for the girls of America, and then set out to start Girl Scouting in this great country of ours. If she were here today she would say they were truly Growing Force For Freedom.
