. a report. . a lot of fine, technical assistance 6—Nevada City Nugget, Thursday, April 28, 1949 DEATH TRAP BY CITIZENS GROUP The name ‘death trap” been applied to the Weimar ent ganatorium, near Auburn. Weimar ‘is one of those cooperative tuberculosis hospitals, ‘to which patients are sent by the counties of Amador, Contra Costa, E) Dorado, Inyo, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Sierra, Solano, Sutter, Tuolumne, Yolo, Colusa and Yuba. The active cooperation of these counties, with state and federal authorities, has a chance to produce good care at efficient cost. It is claimed that the counties Shave the money available for such good care at efficient cost, but that the ‘‘active cooperation’”’ is Jacking. The issue arises from Contra Costa county. The Taxpayers association and the health association of that county took notice of complaints and a citizens’ committee was set up to investgate. After eight months of deliberation, 12 meetings and two trips to Weimar, the committee wrote Some of the recommendations are rather shocking. It is recommended that heat be installed to the cottages while it is hot. suggested that better facilities be provided for getting the food to the cottaes while it is hot. That the flow of liquor to patients from nearby taverns by visitorh be curbed. That the time and place for smoking be regulated. That more toilets, baths, and fire exists be provided. That there be more medical and nursing help, and that surgeons be more accessible. The committee also considered the suggestion that Contra Costa county establish its own local tuberculosis sanitorum. It thinks there are some advantages to such local action, but hopes that Weimar can be put on a plane of service which will make the change unnecessary, at least at this time.” The .management at Weimar thanked the committee for the report, recognized the justice of criticisms, and promised to make changes. The committee, which feels it has been very patent, and whose report has been called ‘‘excel-. lent,” “temperate,’’ and ‘‘judicial,’’ wonders if it is being kissed off, inasmuch as a year has: passed, and few improvements have been made. So the committee has come to the conclusion that new management may be best in getting a new deal for the patients. Under present conditions, they do not think patients can be happy, or be properly taken care of at Weimar. The committee having spent a lot of time, wants to continue until something is done, and feels that if the matter had public discussion, it might be helpful in arousing a spirit of civic responsibility in all the 15 counties which are concerned. Incidentally, the committee had in preparing its report. It was aided by 15+ outstanding tubercular scientists, and had the cordial help of Dr. Wilton L Halverson, director of public health for the state of California. Over a year has passed with little remedial action, and the committee hopes that enough public interest will be aroused, so that progress of improvement can be checked from time to time. IRENE UNDERWOOD, 63, Veterans administration advised veterans to give their national life insurance policies periodic “three-way checks’’ to make certain that their NSLI programs are consistent wtih their plans, obligations and incomes The “three-way check’’ should cover (1) beneficiaries, both principal and _ contingent; (2) manner in which proceeds are to be paid to beneficiaries; ana (3) amount and type of NSLI in force. Many veterans fail to name new beneficiaries when they marry or when a designated beneficiary dies, VA said. If a veteran dies without .naming a beneficiary, or if no designated beneficiary is alive at the time of his death, proceeds of the insurance go into his estate and are subject to inheritance taxes. Final distribution of the proceeds may not be that which the veteran would have. desired. Changes in. family status or family income often requre a veteran to change the method of NSLI settlement. He may elect to have his NSLI proceeds paid to his beneficiary in a lump sum or in equal monthly installments ranging from 36 to lifetime income. The type and amount of NSLI owned by a veteran should be that -which best fits his. pocketbook and gives him the most ‘coverage, VA said, NSLI policies include term, ordinary life, 30payment Ife, 20-payment life, endowment at age 60, endowment at age 65, and 20-year endowment. Question: I have already used about 25 days of my leave under the GI bill. Will. VA allow me additional leave at the end of my training period? Answer: Under a recent change made by VA, you may apply for 15 days leave at the end of your enrollment, provided you have enough remaining entitlement for education or training to cover it. Question: I am a World war I veteran and have a non-service connected disability. Am I entitfad to a pension? Answer: If you are permanently and totally disabled for reasons not traceable to your service in the armed forces you may be entitled to a pension. You must have been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable after a minimum of 90 days service, or if you served less than 90 days, you must have been discharged for disability incurred in line of duty. In either case, you are disqualified if your income exceeds $1,000 per year if single, or $2,500 if you are married or have a minor child Question: I am an_ honorably discharged World war II veteran. Can I get glasses through VA? Answer: Yes, if they are determined necessary for a serviceconnected disability; or a necessary part of hospital treatment or domiciliary care, or to prevent interruption of training under public law 16, 78th congress, as amended.

Mrs. Underwood was the wife of the late Albert Preston Underwood who died here nearly three years ago. She was born in Lompoc, and came to Nevada City several years ago.

From the column entitled ‘‘The Mirror’ by Arthur J. Brown: I suspect Nevada City is a pleasant place:to live. I do not assume that pleasant idea’ merely because that’ community is the metropolis of one of California’s northern tier of counties, Nevada county to be exact. I garner the idea from what I hear about Nevada City policemen. They appear to be regular persons, apparently of mature years, who are able to-resist the swelling of the cranium that ofttimes comes with the and the indulgence of their superiors that appear to forget men will be boys unless taught to be . different. This is really a Christmas story and one which I hope will appeal t6 those members of the parish upon whose emotions I trust the influence of the merry Yuletide still remains as winter ofttimes lingers in the lap of Spring. Nevada City has parking meters which leads me to believe it is a metropolis as is our own fair city. Said meters gave Nevada City police, or some really smart ‘politician, an opportunity to remind Nevada City voters that their: metropolis has pretty good policemen, and why not Keep the present administration which bosses the police in office a few years longer. Smart politicians always have a chance to incubate ideas at Christmas time that will fertiand burgeon during the Ides of March and April or whenever the spring cty elections are held. During the said Christmas season, parking meters in Nevada City gave the police their chance to enforce the law and still be regular fellows which, curiously enough, they proved could be done. When a car was found before a-meter which registered a violation, the policeman left a card under the windshield wiper reciting that the officer making: the discovery has deposited five cents -in. the =meter. The vcard asked ‘the .car-owner to call ‘ai police headquarters and pay the five cents so -the officer could continue to spread the Chrisunas cheer. The card was signed by the chief of police, the mayor, the city councilmen and all the members of the police force. Maybe the police did that sort .
