SAFETY HABITS

When children are little they
are warned not to cross the
street without an adult. AS the
child reaches school age, in
many cases he is taken to school
in the family car or school
bus. At the school the crossing
is often protected by schoolboy
patrolmen or traffic officer.
With the traffic volume what
it is, parents naturally want &c
keep their children from harm
However, over protection re-
tards the development of safety
habits in youngsters. 1t keeps
them out Of trouble, but II does
not prepare them to meet traffic
problems by themselves.
II a child does not know how
to meet a situation be will grow
to fear it. II he hasn't been
taught how to cross the street
his natural instinct may tell him
to run to reach the other side
as quickly as possible. II ht
uses this method regularly ht
doesn't always reach the Other
side.

Law Boosts Benefits For
Survivors OF Servicemen

In 1856 Congress passed q
new law for the survivors OF
servicemen who died on active
duty as a result OF a service con-
nected disability.
This benefit was called De-
tendency and Indemnity Com.
pensation and has greater mon-
etary benefit for certain classes
OF beneficiaries, according to H.
Hugh Nance. The County Vet
Grams Service Officer said when
the law went into effect widows
were given the option of con-
tinuing to receive death COM
pensation or changing to De-
tendency and Indemnity Com
pensation. The beneficiary could
choose the larger benefit.
There would have been nc
reason for a widow with several
MINOR children to change Nance
saio. He explained that under
death compensation widow
win two monor children would
nave received $4,000 per month
while under the new law she
would have received approxi-
mately s123.OO.
Nance suggested that widows
sun receiving death compensa-
ion determine the amount they
could receive from Dependency
ana indemnity Compensation in
view of dependency changes He
states for an example that if one
or more of the widows children
IS now over l8 years of age, if
may be 10 her advantage tc
change.

But contracts with D. c.
Transit and w. M. & A. run out
June 80 and the government
will leave the fares up to the

tered into a contract with Sub,

and the other out Georgia ave.
