BUREBAL EDITOR’S NOTE: This newspaper, through special arrangement with the Washington Bureau of Western Newspuper Union at 1616 Eye Street, N. W., Washing ton. D.

Questions may be addressed to the above Bureau and they will be answered in a subsequent column. No replies can be made direct by mail, but only in the column which will appear. in this newspaper reularly. Few Continue Insurance Concerned. with the large percent. age of veterans who are not convert. ing their national service life insurance into permanent insurance, or with maintaining their policies in present form, Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Veterans’ administration director, recently held a meeting with a joint committee of the American Life convention and. the Life ‘Insurance Association of America to lay plans for a nation-wide educational campaign on the subject. “Recent figures indicate that only one out of five veterans discharged is continuing his term policy or is converting it into one of the three types of permanent insurance offered,’’ General Bradley said. This figure, the committee was told, is approximately three times the ratio experienced after the last war. A committee of .insurance men headed by Alexander Patterson, executive vice president of the Mutual Life Insurance company, of New York, assured General Bradley that the committee ‘‘is prepared to-go allout to co-operate with you in your program to present to the veteran the many advantages of maintaining his national service life insurance policy.’’ Questions and Answers Q. My husband, a _ veteran of World War I is sick and disabled and about four months ago put in a disability claim~-and-has not heard from it. Will they write and tell him whether he is eligible for pay or not? —Mrs. W. J. G., Lebanon, Va. A. Yes, he will no doubt hear from the Veterans administration. If he does not soon, write again to the nearest regional office of the Veterans administration. Q. My 18-year-old brother is now entering the army. How much time will he have to spend in the service or has there been a definite length of time decided upon. If a soldier re-enlists in the army, then decides withir 26 days that he wants a discharge, can he get it?—Mrs. L. J., Pontotoc, Miss. A. The answer to your first question is that there has been no definite time decided for 18-year-olds in . the army. To the second question, the answer is No. Q. My-husband has been in service since February, 1945. He is 31 years old and he has never had any training. Will there be any chance of him getting out soon? He was classified in F-4 and put in A-1.—A reader, Remlap, Ala. A. Indications are that your husband was inducted as, a replacement and that he may be jn limited service, but the chances of his early discharge are not good. Q. How can I get medicai care, other than maternity care, for a soldier’s family? I have three children who must have medical care and I am under a doctor’s care myself. —Mrs. W. R., Wilmington, II. A. Write to the nearest army medical center, or apply to your local Red Cross and they may advise you. Q. What does the navy get discharge points for? Do they get any points for battle stars or citations? —Mrs. A. A., Dennison, Ohio. A. Under present regulations navy discharge’ points are awarded only as follows: One-half point for each year of age; one-half point for each month of active service; one-quarter point for each month of sea duty; ten points for dependency. Forty-one points are necessary for discharge. Any navy man with three children is eligible for discharge. Q. My husband was told when entering the service that he would be discharged six months after the war. Will he get out by then or will he have to stay in the army until he has enough points?—L. L., Gloster, Miss. A. The chances are he will have to stay until he is eligible for discharge under the point system. The war is not officially ended until declared so by proclamation of the President or by congress. Q. If a man is sent to the Pacific for occupation, how long will he have to stay? — Mrs. K. C., Dennison, Ohio. A. His service would depend entirely upon the number of points he has earned and the nature of his service. Q. My husband; a veteran of World War I, did not receive his transportation home after being honorably discharged. Can he still collect his transportation? "— Mrs. L. D., St. Maries, Idaho. A. It is 25 years late, but you might write to the office of the Adjutant General, War department. Q. How long is it permissible for a discharged soldier to wear a full uniform after arriving home? — M. E. T., Onekama, Mich. A. The regulations provide a soldier may wear his uniform up to 90 days after his discharge. ————E Buy ‘fictory Bonds Regularly Fold Them; Here’s What Heppens Weekly SAVINGS AND INTEREST ACCUMULATED 1+ Savings la 1 Year “ins Years In 10 Years $3.75 $195.00, $1,004.20 $2,163.45 6.95 325.00 1,674.16 3,607.54 12.50 650,00 3,348.95 7,217.20 18.75 975.00 « 5,094, 94 10,828.74 7 A ed i ee : ihe TVA and 2 quart 5-Purpose DOUBLE BOILERS 2 and 3 quart SAUCE PANS 4 quart SAUCE POT 51, quart DUTCH OVEN Just received . . a display assortment of the Cooking Utensils you have been waiting for . . famous Revere Ware.
