News For Veterans

Veterans Administration is
surveying 100000 veterans
seriously disabled in service
to bring their family status
up to date.
VA said only those veter-
ans who are so per cent or
more disabled and who re-
ceive additional compensation
because of dependents are in
volved in the survey.
The survey, conduct e d
through the medium of a
QUESTIONABLE, will not affect
veterans whose family status
was determined by VA since
August 81, 1855.
Additional compensation
for dependents of veterans
was first authorized in 1913
and the family status of many
disabled veterans has not been
brought up to date since then.
VA expects this additional
compensation for dependents
will be increased in some cas-
es and decreased in others as
a result of the survey, sched-
uled to be completed by Janu-
airy 1, 1857.

The scribes and the Pharisees

kindly and in friendly manner to-
ward the publicans and sinners who
came to hear him preach. Jesus
replied to this adverse criticism
with three parallels. First, the Par

for one missing sheep out of his
flock of hundred.
The second was the Parable of the
Lost Piece of Silver, which tells how
woman carefully searched her
home to find one lost coin, out of
ten she possessed. The third parable
related by Jesus was that of the
Parable of the Prooigal Son. This
parable is related by Luke and no
other gospel writer.
To many it is the outstanding
parable of the New Testament. It
tells the story of younger son,
securing from his father his share
of the inheritance, and the
thoughtless and foolish waste of it.
Finally, reduced to proverty and
, dire want, the son decides to return
home, repentant, and seek the in
ferior place of a servant in his
fathers household. He was sur
prised by the loving welcome which
his father gave him and at the
generous treatment he received

WHY GROW OLD?
Face 1t, Men-Good
Grooming Is Vital

A recent letter from a reader
made me think of this now.
She wrote:
"I know that your column is
essentially a womans column
and that a woman is happiest
when she is attractive to the
opposite sex. but 1t is a bonus
to find some Of the opposite
sex who are attractive to her.

men who were charming,

were so poorly groomed that
their wrinkled suits and neg
lected nails made them almost

Yes, good grooming is vital
to you, men. So. today / sug-
gest to the men that they take
more care about having well
pressed suits, that they use
their mothers or sisters or

or buy some for themselves,
that they, too, take an interest
in posture and haircuts and
weight control.

/ think that women work
for attractiveness much more
for the men they love than for
themselves or for other women.
However, the picture a woman
has Of herself is most impor-
tant! An Improvement in
physical appearance can pro-
duce q big change in her hap
piness and personally.
But we seldom hear of a
man who is trying to improve
his appearance for his lady
love, although this is more
usual now than it was in the
past. Yet many Papas or boy
frineds could use bit of gla-
mour of q masculine sort.
Poor grooming is no more at
tractive on man than it is on a
woman. Poor posture is just
as unattractive whether the
victim be man or woman. Bad
breath or B. o. is just as often
sive on man as it is on a
woman.
I am quite sure that many
men have been penalized in
matters such as this and never
knew what happened to them.

First, / want to thank The

My husband is planning to

When the carport is built. we
want to plant some fast-grow-
ing vines to grow up the sides
and over the top Of it. Won
der if the readers could tell us
of their experiences with vines
that will grow we'll in this area.

that will stay green year.
round if possible. Thanks
very much.
I have a hint I'd. like to
pass on to young mothers.
Small items such as baby socks.
small bibs, etc., have less
chance of getting lost in the
washing machine if they are
pinned to a larger item.
Also for those who have
automatic washers and find
starching shirts. dresses and
so on a chore I have this hint:
I use a liquid starch. After the
clothes are dry and ready for
ironing. I put about 2 inches
of liquid starch in a 12-ounce
soda bottle and fill the bottle
with cold water. Then I sprin-
kle shirts, ETC.. as usual. Let
them sit for about an hour or
more and then iron as usual.
It makes starching easier and
the finished iron job looks fine.
Thanks again to RICH, and
hope to get some answers on
my carport query soon.

Steer With Skid
To Avoid Crash,
Auto Club Says

Motorists can stop skidding on
slippery roads and streets by OBJ.
serving two well established
rules, advises Harold P. Pierce,
manager of the Keystone Auto
mobile Clubs Washington office.
First rule: Release the brakes
on the car Immediately. Second:
Steer in the direction of the skid.
TOO quick, or heavy-footed
braking causes most skidding,"
Mr.. Pierce continued. $50, by re-
moving the pressure on the
brakes the cause is eliminated.
But the effect may continue and
the best thing to do is to steer
in the direction of the skid.
Steering into the skid means
simply that if the rear wheels
slide to the right-as they often
do-the car should be steered in
that direction. Again, if the rear
wheels slip to the left-as they
may do if the brakes are not
properly equalized-the steering
wheel should be turned in that
direction"

at Annapolis by getting the State
to recognize the teacher-pupil
ratio and not base its support on
pupil enrolment.
In the meantime Montgomery
County is doing an excellent job
with the students it does train.
The standards of the National
Education Association and most
of the insurance companies re-
quire six hours behind the wheel,
10 in the car and 80 hours of
classroom instruction.
At Montgomery Blair, for in
stance, the minimum require
ments are eight hours behind the
wheel, 10 in the car and 38 hours
of classroom instruction. Often
the students get more practice
than this if the weather is good.
Driving, Study Included
The average weeks program
includes two days on the road,
two days in study hall working
on the daily assignments in the
American Automobile Associa-
tons project work book and one
day in the classroom.
A graduate of the course is re.
quired to know all of Maryland
State driving rules and regula-
tons; the basic mechanics of
operation of a car, such as what
actually happens when you put
your foot on the clutch pedal;
how to change a tire; put on
chains; (there is no consideration
given to sex for these items,
ether; and all general driving
maneuvers such as parking, turn
ing, starting and stopping on a
hill, etc.
In addition, all students are Civ
en- psycho-physical tests such as
time-reaction, visual acuity, dis
lance judgment, field of vision,
hearing and steadiness.
Outside experts such as safety
personnel, traffic officers, and in
surance people give special lee
lures in their fields. Visual aids
are used to supplement the
course; for instance films take
the place of actual experience in
night driving and problems with
snow and ice.
