1. ‘The new chief medical director of the Veterans Administration, Dr. Paul B. Magnuson, is a nationally known orthopedic surgeon, former professor of surgery and chairman of the Department of Bone and Joint Surgery at Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago. Dr. Magnuson has been closely associated with the reorganization of VA medical care and his appointment to succeed Dr. Paul R. Hawley, who resigned Jan 1, assures uninterrupted contipuation of the VA’s new medical program. Dr. Magnuson joined the VA’s Department of Mediéine and Surgery when it was created Jan. 3, 1946. He was largely responsible for affiliating more than half of VA's 126 hospitals with Class ‘“A’’ Medical schools throughout the country and in the éstablishment ‘of VA’s residency training program. é Since joining VA Dr. Magnuson pensation under existing. legislation, 4 Veterans over 40 years of age who purchase farms or homes no longer required to pay an extra premium for. life. insurance provided under the plan, according to the State Department of Veterans Affairs. The life insurance pays off the balance due on the veteran’s purchase contract in the event of his death, thus guaranteeing his dependents’ clear title to the farm or home. Under the state farm and home purchase plan, veterans receive this protection for 70 cents per month per $1,000 of the unpaid balance of the, purchase contract. No increase in the veteran’s monthly. contract installments is required, however, since the insurance premium may be added to the deferred balance and repaid at the end of the contract period, which usually extends 20 years. The insurance coverage is underwritten by two California life insurance companies on behalf: of the state. The former extra premium for older veterans was eliminated as a result of favorable mortality, experience, and now all contract holders pay the same rate, regardless of age. has aided in starting a compre.California veterans may : obhensive research program into. tain up to $7,500 for purchase of many of the little-known ail-. a home or up to $13,500 for purments and diseases suffered by . chase of.a farm under the state veterans. program. Liberal repayment Dr. Magnuson took his pre-. terms include a very low. rate of Medical training at the University of Minnesota and was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School] in 1908. He is the author of several books on fractures and ‘served as a civilian consultant to the Surgeon General of: the Department of the Army during the war. Dr. Hawley, who organized the VA’s Department of Medicine and Surgery .has been appointed a Special assistant and.advisor to the Administrator of Veterans Affairs and will continue to assist in carrying out the VA medical program. QUESTION: I was told that my disability, which I claim was due to service, cannot be serviceconnected because I had it before I entered the service. Am I eligible for cempensation? ANSWER: If VA decides that your ailment was incurred in or aggravated by your service in the armed forces you will be entitled to receive cempensation, if it exists to a compensable degree. QUESTION: I am a veteran of World War I and would like to know if there is any limit for filing a claim for. compensation for disability caused by my war service? ANSWER: There is no. time limit set for filing claim for cominterest, currently .three percent, substantial savings on fire ‘insurance through a group coverage contract, and elimination of many fees ordinarily connected with home and farm financing. By comparison with other cities and by other tests, labor relations in San Francisco are being conducted on a sound and effective basis. e e e @ e e e e © e e e@ e HELP YOUR COUNTRY.. .

Arkansas False Earnings Would a 3,500 per cent increase in wages or salary interest you? If your income sky-rocketed, like that, you wouldn’t be much worried about the high cost of living, would you? Wait a minute. Are you sure you’d be on easy street? Perhaps you will be surprised to learn that workers in France have had that amount of increase in their money earnings since 1914, and they still lack the necessities of life. A brick layer in Paris worked 48 hours a week in 1914. He took home 45% francs, a week, slightly less than one franc per hour. But today he gets 35: francs per hour. In 1914 he could buy four quarts of milk for his franc or a dozen-and-a-half eggs. But today for an hour’s wages he can buy less than three quarts of milk and barely 7 eggs—if he can find. them. Both items, plentiful in 1914, are now hard to obtain. Hold Your Own? This:means that there are things more important than increases in wages. The consequences of inflation are such that costs of living manage to keep a_step ahead of wage * boosts. The lesson is this: the average breadwinner cannot hold his gown oncé the inflation spiral gets going. No matter how often wages are increased, he gets farther and farther behind. Costs always outrun increased earnings — unless someone stops the spiral. To stop a runaway team, youhave to do: more than holler ‘Whoa!’’ You have to pull back on the reins, set your heels in the dirt, and maybe make a little sacrifice in terms of direction and effort. Infla. tion is like that. Some of us fail to see the brink of the precipice ahead. We take our increases and discount the dire results. $10,000 Trifle When I left China in 1936, a comfortable home could have been purchased there for 10,000 Chinese dollars. Today you’d be lucky to buy a loaf of bread-for $10,000. Matter of fact, a Chinese friend of mine recently enclosed a $10,000 note to me in a letter. The note was not a gift, nor a repayment on a loan, nor a sum for investment. It was merely a souvenir, virtually worthless. Pull Together! Oh, this can’t happen to America! Anyone who utters that statement is confused, chances are. Actually it has already been happening to Anrerica. The spiral of inflation has cut down buying power, cheapened our money. Today, $2 are worth what $1 was worth only a few years ago. This means that if you have insurance or a bank account, the effect of inflation has reduced these by one-half. Loss to savings in this way is-very real. In most lines of industry and in agriculture, our vast production is doing a fine job of meeting unprecedented demand. We must continue to produce, cut costs, and save more, We must do the right things about these problems. If each of us will act individually and collectively as we know best, the inflation bogey is dead. Remember that the answer is not always to be found in wage boosts. Rather, we shall be good citizens if we pull together to bring the cost of living down. It sn’t a dsgrace to have rats —hH’s~a~-disgrace—to— keep them, Apparently rats*° have little ree spect for the size of other animals.
