The Veterans Administration, which was still MAX
ing out 1868 dividend checks in December announced
recently new dividend payment to 100000 veterans
will begin in February. Despite the low of Govern
ment Insurance. this agency has been accommodating large
surplus and thus is able to pay szeable annual d
vidends to millions Of veterans.
Most of the dividends amount to about $780, although
hey often higher The 1854 dividend is the third
regular paid out to National Service Life Insurance
policy holders The first was that Of 1882 the second
in 1868 and the third begins in February large
dividend covering all the years since the end of World
War II, was paid out prior to 1852
Regular dividends are distributed by the Veterans
Administration throughout the year. the time of payment

went into effect The VA said recently dividends on
most of its policies computed on basis of so cents
or each $1,000 Of insurance. per month Thus the
age $4,000 insurance policy, period of twelve
months, would bring dividend of approximately $50.
It estimated almost 5000 900 will be paid out
dividends next year. Though the average American
reluctant to the Government in the private enter
prise field Of the 100000 veterans enjoying cheap
Government insurance and annual dividends are solidy

seems little hope that private business will get the
Government out of the veterans picture and certainly
his way the nations veterans can be remembered
It no extra cost to the taxpayer.

Eager Beaver Trouble

ALBUQUERQUE R-Eager and
busy beavers are causing concern
in southwest Albuquerque.
It's not so much that they've
built three dams across an irri-
CATION ditch, and have chewed at
aged shade trees until they are IN
danger Of falling. What people In
the area are really unhappy about
is that the beavers can be heard
at night chomping on the trees.
This starts the neighborhood dogs
barking and causes considerable
lack of sleep.

Jesus is generally represented as
meek and mild as lamb. In to.
days lesson we see him boldly
displaying righteous anger "a.

ia sign or moral or physical weak.
ness, nor does it necessarily show
a lack of Christian faith. On the
other hand it should be exercised
for a righteous cause and in such
instances is a sign of spiritual
strength. An inactive, vacillating
faith is definitely sign of weak
mess.
When we picture Christ with the
whip of cords in his hand and the
evil covering legalized bandits
struggling for the exit, we have
just as true picture of the Christ
as when we see him with a lamb
in his arms. It seems that pro-
lgress is most often made by an
individual or group displaying a
righteous indignation for human in.
Justices due to mans greed and
selfishness. Jesus really got mad
when he saw the travesty of reli.
gion as practiced in the temple
John Howard and his followers goi
mad when they saw the vile, dis
ease-ridden, hell-on-earth situation
of the English prisons. Florence
Nightingale got mad when she saw
the filth and neglect of the horrible
hospitals OF the day. Righteous an
lger generally leads to moral ant
spiritual reform.
The luke-warmhess and indiffer
ence of the masses as they face the
practices of the greedy and sci
fish accounts for much of the evil
and sin in the world. The most la
mentable weakness of this genera
ltion is no doubt in the luke warm
ness of its love. Monstrous evils
lie entrenched right under oul
noses and thrive as they continue
Ito become more brazenly insolent
I Just because Christian people de

the city Of Jaen, capital of the
