Is there any way for me to get this or any part of the insurance?—Mrs. O. M. C., Crossville, Ala. A. There is no way for you to obtain this insurance if you were not named as beneficiary, unless parents of the serviceman’ are willing to ¢ Share with you. You, however, are entitled to a pension for yourself and ; baby. Q. Would it be possible for a veteran’s widow who is receiving a Spanish American war pension of $30 per month, to exchange it for a World War pension to which she is also entitled? How would she go about making the exchange?—B. M. D., Elk Mills, Md. A. Yes, the veterans’ administration says it is possible. Consult your nearest regional veterans’ administration office, probably at Richmond or Baltimore. Q. We had a nephew who was in the army in the Philippines when war was declared. He was taken, prisoner and died in a Jap prison camp in July, 1942. He did not carry insurance. His mother is a widow and is she entitled to receive any compensation? The boy’s father was. a World War I veteran and died in 1930.—His Aunt, Watsontown, Pa. A. I would say that the widowed mother, if she was dependent upon the veteran, is entitled to a pension. However, she should file a claim with the nearest office of the veterans’ administration, probably at Philadephia or Pittsburgh, and they will determine her eligibility. * @. My son has been discharged from the army. He entered service February, 1941. Is he entitled to the: pre-Pearl Harbor ribbon? He was entitled to three bronze stars, but only one was shown in his discharge. Is there some way this can be put on his discharge and where can I obtain the information?—Mrs. W. M.J., Purvis, Miss. A. For answers to both qugstions write to the office of the “jutant general, enlisted personnel, war department, Washington, D. C. Q. My husband has one child and has been in the marines since August, 1943, and overseas since June 1, 1945. How many points does he have? He is in Peiping, China. When can I expect him home?— Mrs. D. H. S., Lewisburg, Pa. A. As of September 2, your husband has 38 points. He is not likely to be home soon since the marines are screening all low point men and.-regulars out of units scheduled to return home soon. Fifty points are necessary for discharge. Q. I have had three years in the army. Received my honorable discharge in the fall and put in a claim for trouble with my ankle, also tonsils. Received my notice for examination in December, x-rays, etc. As yet I haven’t heard from them. Am I eligible for a disability pension? —D. H. W., Salisbury, Md. A. It may take several weeks for the veterans’ administration to catch up with your claim. They will evenually, however. There is a shortage of manpower in all veterans’ administration offices. Keep writing or calling the Office where you filed. in cotton fields at far less cost. FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE .
