Mr.. Simpson for many years was
one of the outstanding farmers in
the Houston area. Of late years,
due to the frailities of age, he was
unable to do the work he would
have liked to do. His final days were
made comfortable through the low
ing care of his devoted children.
These children, two daughters
and four sons, all of whom have
done we'll in the world, are living
examples of George B. Simpsons s
upbringing, love and excellent cour-
age.
Left with the responsibility of
raising his young, the oldest only
IL, when his wife died, he never
faltered, never wavered from the
right as he saw it and that was to
give his children the very best
equipment possible to meet the
trials and triumphs of this world.
To him the best equipment was
education, instruction in the arts
of husbandry, but above all he de-
sired that his brood would be hon
est and honorable in all their deal
ings with all men. He lived to see
them adults of this type, one and
all.

Q-As the widow of a veteran who

or benefit payments from the
VA, based on my husbands pay
while in service / understand
my payments will increase
somewhat, now that the pay for
most military ranks has just
gone up When will my increase
show in my check?
Att may take several months to
adjust accounts of all widows
entitled to the increased pay
ments, since each case must be
examined individually. Any in
crease will be paid automati-
cally, and will be dated back to
the first of June, the day the
new military pay scale took

the birth of our second child

the effective date of the in

do l go about it?
A-As long as you are as good

CT insurance lapsed, you may
reinstate it by paying all pre-
miums in arrears. No interest
will be charged if your appli-
cation for reinstatement is sub
mitted within three months of

eyes as the result of an auto
accident. Although his blind
ness has nothing to do with
his service in the armed forces,
he does have a service-con-
nected disability. Is he eligible
for special aids for the blind,
furnished by VA?
Ayes. Eligibility requirements
for aid to the blind administer
ed by VA state that the veteran
must be entitled to compensa-
ton for a service-connected
disability and be blind in both
eyes. The blindness itself,
however, need not be service
connected.

toes are little cheaper this week
and the supply of green beans con-
tinues to be good with quality
good to excellent.
More and more new potatoes or
early crop potatoes are being sold
at local markets. These potatoes
have special characteristics which
it is good to know SO you can buy
and use them to best advantage.
Because these potatoes are har-
vested before they are mature, they
are more perishable than late-crop
potatoes. Also they are easily
bruised because of their thin
skins. AS you can see, it doesn't
pay to buy them in large quanti-
ties because even under the most
favorable home conditions, they
will only keep a few weeks. These
new potatoes hold their shape well
during and after cooking. Thus
they are a favorite to serve plain,
boiled in their jackets, or boiled
and then skinned and parsley-but-
tered. They also are good choice
for salads, for creaming or hash
browning.
Some beef prices have declined
recently. among the beef cuts the
cost per serving is lowest for
chopped meat, liver and tongue.
boneless chuck & round steaks are
also more reasonably priced. Look
for weekend features on hams,
frankfurters and of course don't
forget to pick up supply of poul-
try meat-broilers, fryers, cornish
hens and turkey-all continue to
be good buys.
