VETERANS SHOULD CHECK INSURANCE BENEFICIARIES

VE1 ERkA4No oHOOAD SAESn INSURANCE EARTHQUAKES
 All persons in active military service or recently discharged who have CT insurance under in-service waiver of premiums should make sure the Veterans Administration has an accurate record of their insurance bene- ficiaries.
 This advice applies also to those veterans who have married or have been divorced since ap- plying for the insurance, VA spokesman said.
 VA reports that some service personnel who have GI insur- ance under the in-serviee pre- mium waiver are under the mis- taken impression that they have Servicemen's Indemnity cover age instead of insurance.
 Under the law providing for the indemnity, beneficiaries are limited by law to wife; child or children; mother, father and brother, sister. No designation , is required if the serviceman de sires payment in that order.
 CT insurance, on the other hand, permits wider range of beneficiaries, with no particular order of payment stipulated by law.
 VA said the experience of many servieemen indicates that all persons still in service or re- gently discharged who have CT insurance policy under in- service premium waiver should check their beneficiary designa- ton to make sure VA has the proper listing, especially if they were married or divorced after applying for the insurance.
 VA explained that when change of beneficiary is submit. ted to VA, the policyholder is mailed a copy of the VA action for his record. If the polieyhold- CT has no such VA record in his files and does not remember re- ceiving one, it is likely that no change was recorded by VA.
 VA cautioned that a benefici- ary designation on Defense De partment Form DID 93 is NOT a change in beneficiary in> GI isurance. 1t is merely a benefi- ciary designation for the yari- our gratituitous benefits and, as such, cannot be applied to GI insurance.
 If a VA form for changing beneficiaries is not readily ob- tainable at military post or naval installation, it may be ob- tained by writing or calling at any VA office.
 Question of the Week:

Personality Counts
You need pep. personality.
and a real liking for children
to make good on the job. Even
though it isn't a law in any
State of the Union, you should
have enough imagination to
make the school attractive.
Bright curtains on the win
dows, decals to help the tots
put their clothes away in the
right place and gayly painted
furniture are the very mini
mum in cheerfulneSs that the
children deserve.
Here are a few more tips:
/. Take q survey of your
neighborhood to determine the
number of potential pupils
your play school may attract.
Then determine how many you
want to have in your group.
Keep it small. If you want to
work for a full day, you might
have a morning session and an
afternoon one-but mornings
usually work out best for chill
dren of this age.
2. Set your fees and stick to
them. Five dollars per child,
for three hours, three times a
week. would be the barest
minimum. Adjust your pay
scale to At the wallets of the
men in the gray flannel suits
living in your area.
3. Work out a budget of ex-
penditures for supplies, food,
insurance, advertisements in
local papers, ana II you have
no facilities of your own, for
renting space for meeting.
4. Have a brochure mimeo-
graphed or printed, outlining
the hours. services offered, fees
charged. and date payable
make it before school startsD,
enrolment dates, refund ar
rangements in case of absences,
visiting hours for parents, and
opening and closing dates of
the school season.
Remember your best adver-
tiSement is "word-of mouth"
advertising, and a good many
of these words will come out
of the mouths of the babes who
have been entrusted to your
care. If they are secure and
enjoy your school program,
you are well on your way to

TALK ABOUT CAREERS
Conducting Neighborhood School
Career for Homebound Mother
By TRULY HOWARD

Opening a play school in
your home town is a sure fire
way to become the most popu-
lar woman in the neighbour
hood. If you are qualified by
previous experience as a nurs-
cry school or kindergarten
teacher, you may be able to
keep your professional skills
alive in the bargain.
What does it take to get
started? Mostly time and PLAN
ming Crowded you already are
qualif1ed)! The usual home
school program attracts about
IL children or less from a given
neighborhood, who meet three
mornings a week to engage in
constructive play and learning
experiences under supervision.
Mothers may welcome the OPP
portunity to bundle their little
darlings of to you several
mornings each week, and if
your fee is right. your DISPOSE
ton holds out. and your ac-
tivities meet with small fry
approval, you shouldn't have
any trouble making your cash
register sing a merry tune.
Some Prerequisites
Any group leadership or
teaching experience you have
had will be an asset. Check
with your local and State
authorities so that you will be
in the know about licensing
requirements. health and
safety regulations. which you
will want to observe religiously.
In addition, many areas have
nursery school councils, set
up on a nonprofit basis to pro-
mote higher standards among
all nursery schools. In some
cases. these rate nursery
schools according to the cali
Der of the teaching and admin
istrative personnel, the pupil
teacher ratio and program and
facilities offered and other
pertinent factors.
What kind of activities are
part of a good play-school
program? Any experiences
which a good teacher can in
troduce that will help a given
child learn to enjoy playing
and sharing with others, and
thereby increase his skills In
getting along with other
people or learning to live with
himself.
Finger painting. rhythms,
folk dancing, story telling,
making things out Of every
thing from old bottle tops to
colored drinking straws will
delight the imaginative hearts
Of young pre-schoolers. OF
course, stretching those young
muscles on outdoor gym equip
ment is another attraction, so
you need to have a combina-
ton OF indoor and outdoor
facilities.
Picking a Place
Where will your school
meet? In your family play
room, converted garage or
cellar rumpus room if you have
one, but beware of setting one
up in the space you need for
daily living. eating and
breathing space for your own
family. It just won't work out.
You'll be spending all your
time picking up the play equip
ment and taking it out again
The next morning.
If your home is centrally
located, the mothers can bring
the children to your door.
Otherwise. you may have to
offer pickup and delivery serv-
ice. If you must have an assis-
tant helping you work in the
school, hire one who can drive
and would be willing to help

Example of Courage in Politics

presidential election this year.
There is an interesting
analogy here with what hap
pened during the Republican
administration of President
William Howard Taft when a
high protectionist tariff bill
was passed by Congress in the
face of demands for a reduc-
ton in the cost of living, par
ticularly because of the high
prices of manufactured goods
then prevailing. Mr.. Taft
knew 1t was a bad bill and said
SO. but nevertheless he signed
1t The country lost respect for
him, his party became split.
and the 1912 election saw Mr.
Taft ANONYMOUSLY defeated
in his attempt at reelection.
Mr.. Eisenhower has ad-
hered to his conscientious con-
victions despite the pressure
to get him to abandon them.
That's what the people have
come to expect Of him - in
tegrity and consistency.
AS for the agricultural
States. he will. Of course, lose
votes, but there are admins
trative powers in the present
laws which can operate to the
benefit of the farmer, and the
chances are that farm income
will show an improvement by
election time without running
the risk of making high price

the agricultural economics of
America.
Mr. Eisenhower has played
1t straight--with f1rmnesS and
consistency - and has saved
the urban families today some
substantial increases in the
cost of food. And. of course,
city jewellers vote, too.

Democrats Hoped to Gain Either Way
Some in G. 0. P. May Be Out on Limb

Republican leaders meeting
here had no choice but to be
brave about President Eisen-
hoWer's veto of the farm bill,
having staked their party's fu-
ture on the theme that he is
the indispensable man. So
they muted their comments
and minimized their forebod-
ings.
All the pressure on the Presi-
dent to sign the bill had come
from Republicans. Democrats
kept quiet. planning to claim
credit If Eisenhower signed
but figuring that a veto gave
them the issue in much more
concrete and personal form.
For some experienced Re-
publicans. the spectacle of
G o. P. farm State Governors

dent to sign farm bill and
being turned away bootless
brought reminiscent shivers.
