Questions and Answers

Q. I am planning to enroll in
a correspondence course under the
Korean CT Bill. Will 1 be requir-
ed to file a Certification of Train
ing each month with the VA, the
same as veterans going to school :?
A. No. Instead, once every
three months the VA will send
you a form to fill out. After you
complete the form, it should be
mailed to your correspondence
school and not the VA. Your
school, IN turn, will send it to
VA. You will receive your CT al
lowance every three months, after
VA receives this form from the
school.
@. In the past, VA has been
deducting my CT insurance prem
iums from my monthly disability
compensation checks. But now
my compensation has been reduc-
ed, so that it no longer is large
enough amount to cover my
premiums. Will VA continue its
Smyrna times., 1955-12-08
deductions. nevertheless /?

deductions, nevertheless {?
A. No. Since your compensa-
ton has been reduced to the point
where it does not cover your CT
insurance premiums, the deduc-
ton plan will have to come to an
end. You will be required to pay
insurance premiums yourself.
Q. am the widow of a World
War 1 veteran and 1 have a
daughter in college. She is re-
ceiving death compensation pay
ments from VA. She soon will
reach her 21st birthday, but she
still will be in school. Will it be
possible for the VA payments to
continue?
A. No. Under the law, COM
pensation payments made to the
child of a deceased veteran while
she is in school may not be con-
tinued after she passes her 21st
birthday.
Q-I have just been discharged
from a VA hospital, where I have
been for the past eight years. If
l enroll for training under Public
Law 16, will 1 have to quit on
July 25, 1856, the end of the pro-
gram?
A-No. You will be permitted
to continue after that date. A
law has extended Public Law II
training for up to four years past
that date, for veterans who have
been unable to begin in time, be-
cause of their disabilities.

WARNS AGAINST "HoLDAZE"
Dangerous Malady Which Causes
Many Deaths and Injuries

Reynolds DUPONT, President of
the Delaware Safety Council to-
day warned Delaware pedestrians
and drivers against "holidaze," a
dangerous malady which, he said,
brings death and injury to many
motorists and pedestrians each
year.
According to Mr.. DUPONT, 'holi-
daze" is a state of mental con-
fusion brought about by a COM
bination of holiday spirit, frantic
Christmas shopping, party going
and crowded streets.
Mr.. duPont's warning was is
sued as part of the Holiday Haz-
ards program being sponsored
during December by the Delaware
Safety Council and the National
Safety Council.
During the holiday season, peo-
pie are likely to be so preoccu-
pied with holiday plans, prepara-
tions and activities that they let
their guard down in traffic. And
this goes for both walkers and
drivers"
Mr.. dupont said that at this
time of year, when streets are
crowded with vehicular and ped
estrian traffic, road surfaces may
be slippery and visibility poor
because of inclement weather, al
travellers should incease their Wig.
ilance.

CIVIL DEFENSE
SURVIVAL PLAN
Governor BOggs And Other
Officials To Study States
Relief Plan
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9

Mayors and levy court members
from throughout Delaware will
meet with Governor ]. Caleb
Boggs December 9 for a briefing
on the states newly adopted ma
tural disaster relief plan and the
Civil Defense survival plan"
studies.
The conference, called by the
Governor, will start at $50 am.
in the Senate Lounge, Legislative
Hall, Dover, according to D. Pres
ton Lee, state Civil Defense direc-
tor, who is making arrangements.
In requesting state or federal
aid in a natural disaster, such as
a hurricane or flood, local COM
munities must follow the proceed
ures set up in the new disaster
relief plan, Mr.. Lee pointed out.
These procedures will be out
lined at the Governors briefing.
The city and county leaders also
will be advised on setting up loc-
al disaster relief plans TO cope
with hurricanes, major fires,
floods or drought.
rhe states new disaster relief
plan establishes the State Depart
ment of Civil Defense as the CO.
ordinating agency for MARSHALL
ing state or federal aid.
The plan, Mr.. Lee explained, is
based on the experiences of other
states in organizing relief agen-
cies and in requesting federal aid''
in natural disaster mop-ups. Mr..
Andrew Gornowski, disaster chair
man of the Delaware Chapter of
the American Red Cross, will ex-
plain the role of the Red Cross.
The Governors conference also
will deal with Delaware's part in
the national survival plan" stud
les for which Congress recently
appropriated S10,000,O00. The aim
is to develop master plan for
mass evacuation and emergency
shelter Of the nations target pop
ulations in a wartime emergency.
Delaware has been offered $40,-
600 federal grant to carry out its
phase of the long-range national
planning. But before the Della
ware study can begin, Mr.. Lee
explained, "it is essential that the
chief executives of our cities and
counties be fully informed of the
nature of the work and agree to
participate under the terms set up
by the federal government" +" May
or August F. Walz of Whining
ton, will explain the role of the
Tri-State Commission which has
been organized to supervise the
studies for Camden, N. j., Phila-
delphia Pa, and the City of Will
mington.

studies will be carried out on a

Aft the final day of the 12O-

ance would be extended to include
the first workday that followed.

carry packages or umbrellas in
a manner that will obstruct their
vision and not to cross streets
in mid-block or against the lights.
He urged drivers to keep a sharp
eye out for pedestrians who may
be indulging in these pastimes.
Safety in traffic is a two-way
business; it calls for cooperation
between driver and walker. It's
better to lose your right of way
than to lose a life-your own or
the other fellows"

originated hundreds of years ago
and the true traditional designs
are still being made, many new
