The following information from
the Veterans Administration re-
garding the waiver of retirement
pay to obtain compensation or
pension was released today by
Mrs. Macie Beaman, Veterans
Service Officer for Lincoln coun-
ty:
l. Any person retired from any
branch of the armed services, Re-
gular or Reserves. may elect to
receive disability compensation or
pension from VA. If the retire
ment benefit is greater than the
total amount of compensation or
pension payable, the person con-
cerned may waive so much of the
retirement pay as is equal to the
total amount of compensation OF
pension. 1t should be noted in
this connection that person may
waive a portion of his retirement
pay, as stated. but may not waive
a portion of the compensation
or pension to which he is entitled.
If he wishes to receive cOmpen-
sation or pension, he must neces-
sarily receive all of such COM
penSation or pension If compen-
Sation or pension is the greater
benefit. it will be necessary for
the person to waive all of his
retirement pay.
For example, if person is
entitled to retirement pay in
the amount of $500 per month
and is entitled to compensation
in the amount of $50 per
month, he may waive $3.50 of
his retirement pay. Thereafter.
he will receive $50 from VA
and $50 from the service de-
partment. If person is entitled
to retirement pay in the
amount of SIS per month and
is entitled to compensation in
the amount of $50 per month,
he may waive all of his retire F.
ment pay and will then be paid
$50 per month by the VA. In
the case of an initial election,
timely received. the VA will
pay the difference between the
retirement pay and the COM
pensation over the entire period
of time that retirement pay was
received.
2. Unless retired person is
in receipt of compensation or
pension from the VA, he is not
eligible for out patient treat
ment. dental or medical. Insofar
as disqualification is concerned,
eligibility of retired persons is
determined on exactly the same
basis as all other veterans.
3. The general rule with re-
spect to subsequent reflections,
after an initial election to re-
ceive compensation or pension,
is that any person retired for dis
ability may elect and re-elect as
he chooses. Thus, if person is
i'll receipt of compensation, as
the greater benefit, and his rat

process of construction at the
outbreak of the War between the
States and during the conflict
everything was destroyed except
walls and roof of the structure,
The building was completed aft
er the close of the conflict and
dedicated on August %, 1869. In
1906 the church was greatly en-
larged by the addition of tran
septs and a new chancel and in
more recent years the church has
been extensively ornamented
and decorated and a new and
modern parish education build
ing erected. Today, St. Paul's.
Wilmington, is the largest Luth-
eran Church in Eastern N. c.
and has given birth to two 9TH
er churches in the Wilmington
area, St. Matthew'S and Kure
Memorial, both active and grow
ing congregations.

Don't Let Amateurs
Core For Your Trees

Your trees are valuable. Speci-
men shade trees are valued at SIS
per square inch of trunk cross Sec
ton at breast height. This makes
a perfect shade tree with trunk
diameter of 10 inches worth about
S400, according to the National
ArbOrist Association. The aSSoci-
alton urges proper care and pro-
lection of all good trees as valu-
able assets.
Periodical examination and care
of trees by local tree expert not
only conserve their values, but will
extend the life of the trees for
many years, insuring cooling shade
and ornamental beauty on the
home grounds. A good tree expert
or professional arborist is far less
costly than an amateur or mex
perienced tree man who may dam
age the trees.
Here's how you select a reliable
tree expert in your area.
l. Select a company with a To-
cal reputation, IN your own COM
munity preferably, at least in your
general area.
2. Determine the arboriSt'S COM
petence by his local reputation
and the homes OF communities OF
industrial companies he has serv-
ed.
3. Does he have professional sta
tuS. as shown by his professional
affiliations, and by his experience?
4. To be a good tree "diagnosti-
cian," the arborist should have
sound knowledge of plant pathol-
ogy, entomology. soils and botany.
5. A reputable arborist will have
insurance that protects both your
property, as well as his employees
while he is working for you.
Many home owners have con-
tracts with responsible arborists,
or tree experts. who prune, spray,
feed and otherwise care for the
trees on an annual basis, the as
sociation says. thus avoiding the
personal dangers of pruning high
trees without the proper equip
ment, and having the advantages
of efficient tree feeding and heavy
spraying equipment too costly for
the individual owner to purchase.

Motor Vehicle
Inspection Low
Killed BY Senate

RALEIGH - A proposed revival
of motor vehicle inspection was
buried by a 33-11 Senate vote
Thursday.
Debate on the inspection pro-
gram. backed by Gov. Hodges and
Motor Vehicles Commissioner Ed
Scheidt, recalled a strict and un-
popular inspection system set up
by the 1947 Legislature and killed
two years later.
Sen. Clarence Stone of Rocking
ham urged fellow senators to put
aside your prejudiceS against the
old inspection law" He said it
was the bills purpose "to do one
thing - save human lives"
The measure would have limited
inspection to steering gear, lights,
brakes, horn, rear view mirror,
and windshield wiper. Garages Ii
censed by the state would have
conducted the inspections for a
fee not to exceed 81.
Opponents argued the inspec-
ton program would not aid high
way safety. Sen. Wade Paschal of
Chatham asserted that "the peo-
pie revolted" when inspection was
tried before. Sen. w. Lunsford
Grew of Halifax asserted "the
great multitude" Of the people
care against this bill"

nounced by William c. Friday
Secretary of the University, who
is handling applications.

Friday said, "and it is hoped
that the extension until April 10

dation gives the annual grants

training for career in radio or
television broadcasting," with
students from both Carolinas ELI
gible to apply.
Earl Wynn, chairman of the
UNC Department of Radio, TV
and Motion Pictures, who admin
listers the scholarships locally, ex-
planned that until this year only
one scholarship, valued at $3.50,
was given annually with the re-
cipient having choice of study
ing at Raleigh or Chapel Hill.
Hereafter, he said, two scho-
larships, each worth $625 yearly
for a four-year period, will be
awarded.
James Donald Michael O'Hara
of Neuse, last years winner who
is now completing his first year
at the University in Chapel Hill
today offered a word of encour-
agement to late applicants.
O'Hara urged students who
have had no previous experience
with radio and television to ap-
ply He relates how he stumbled
onto the scholarship" and quail
fled although his only previous
experience with radio and TV
had been his participation in the
two week High School Radio
TV Institute held each summer
at the University on Chapel Hill
O'Hara, who had lived with his
family in several western states
as well as Northern Rhodesia
Africa, before settling in North
Carolina in 1945, had been in
terested in the entertainment
field while in high school-sing-
ing, playing the trombone and
acting as master of ceremonies
at various functions.
But 1 had always planned to
study law in college, influenced
by my grandfather, a lawyer who
came over from Ireland many
years ago." O'Hara said.
Learning about the WIT
WBTV Scholarship changed his
whole center of interest, he said,
although he felt he had little
chance of being selected from the
applicant group. His selection
came after a series of interviews.
Although actual specialization
in radio-TV studies will come
year after next when he finishes
his basic studies, O'Hara's career
plans are centered around script
writing for both radio and TV
production.

(b) Retired Reserve Officers and

going that in no instances will
any retired person lose money by
electing to receive compensation
OF pension from the VA. In some
instances. payment of the aggre-
gate amount will be by means Of
two checks, one from the VA and
one from the Service Department.
In every instance, the person con-
cerned will receive the greater
benefit. If a person valves all of
his retirement pay, it is uncertain
whether or not he thereby for
feits his incidental Service rights
and privileges, such as hoSpitali-
zation for dependents and COM
