mgt NET N — liad March 26, 1959 _NEVADA COUNTY NUGGET . Page 3 Nevada County 4-H News By LELA MELICK CHICAGO PARK 4-H CLUB The Chicago Park 4-H Club meeting was called to order at 8 p.m. by Jerry Gomez, president, with nine members and_= six leaders present. We talked over our booth for Fun Night and decided to use what we had used the year before. We also gave some thought to a new idea for next year’s booth; the electrical class is to work on it. We spent some time on our skit, with several skits tried before we decided on what we would do. One was finally picked Veterans’ News oes e@ More than 280,000 veterans whose claims for compensation or pension had previously been denied by the Veterans Administration will now have their claims reviewed, according to Sumner G. Whittier, administrator of veterans affairs. These veterans are those whose claims were disallowed by VA after World War II and prior to 1955 for the reason that their claimed disabilities were not shown at the time of their last examination. The VA for the past several years has been conducting a review for errors in compensation and pension claims allowen after World War II, and veteran organizations had requested a similar review of diabled cases. Consequently, a pilot study was ordered in March, 1958, by Mr. Whittier to determine whether a broadened review or disallowed claims was in order. The pilot study was carried on in seven regional offices in widely separated sections of the nation, By far the largest source of the comparatively few errors discovered was the category ‘“disability not shown at time of last examination.” A full review is being ordered of the more than 280,00 disallowed ilaims in this category. Projerting the findings of the pilot study to the disallowed claims involved in the broadened view indicates as many as 2,000 veteran claimants might be found eligible for monetary awards. The new review, Mr. Whittier said, will soon be under way in several VA regional offices on a “time available” basis, and will be extended to all 67 regional offices as soon as the current workload permits. Questions-Answers Q. If I should add the total disability income rider to my GI insurance and later become disabled so I could not work, how much money would I receive? A. You would receive, after you had been totally disabled for six month, income amounting to $10 a month for each $1,000 of your GI insurance. The maximum disability income is $100 a month. Q. Is a veteran obliged to report disability compensation as income in filing his federal] income tax? ’ A. No. Disability compensation paid by the VA is not taxable, nor are other VA benefit payments. Q. I am applying for a GI loan to buy a farm. Do I have to live on the farm to qualify for the loan? : A. No. You must, however, supervise the farming operations. Q. The daughter of a neighbor of ours is a war orphan, with a physical handicap. Must she wait until her 18th birthday before she can begin training under the War Orphans Education Act? A. No. A law passed last year gave boys and girls with handicaps, who previously would have had to wait until their 18th birthday, the right to begin special types of war orphans training when they reach age 14.

Cold Facts And Pinees Long red underwear may help coal children warm on these cold winter days, but don’t use it to cure ( Neither can sun lamps, hot fruit Juices, laxatives, spinal adjastments, diets, yogi and the countless other so-called “modern” remedies.
Through the years, mothers, with the help of “well tested” superstitions, have tried “cure” after “cure.” These have ranged from such bizarre remedies as a brown sugar and garlic candy to “a good purge and.. hot bath.” The fact is there is no known cold remedy. Probably the best thing you can do for children when colds strike is to help relieve their misery. Two of the latest products developed specifically for relief of children’s cold symptoms are just being introduced by Johnson & Johnson. The first is a nasal decongestant that comes in a plastic 2-in-1 squeeze bottle. This packaging allows for 2-way use of the new medication—either as nose drops or as @ spray. The other is a chest rub in an easy-to-use stick form. It’s greaseless and stainless, and doesn’t sting. The chest rub may also be used as an inhalant by cutting off one inch of the stick, placing in steam kettle or vaporizer and inhaling the vapors. Another recent development to help reduce fever and for relief of discomfort of children’s colds and minor pains and headaches is Liquiprin. This liquid medication may be safely given even to children who are upset by aspirin. It t @ common cold. It can’t. comes in a safety bottle which cannot be opened by the child. Dosage is administered directly from a plastic dropper or mixed with fruit juice, milk or formula. At best, then, cold medications can safely relieve the discomfort There’s no cure vet on the “fact” side of the ledger. Milk And The U. S. Winter Olympics The American Dairy Association, through a series of 13 television films which tell the story of U. S. Olympic participation and the need for financing the 1960 team to Squaw Valley, California, will assist in raising funds for the winter games in this state. Famous Olympic stars will be seen in the series of films, which will be available for distribution in California about April 1. ADA, working with the Olympic Commission, is trying to help young men and women maintain the great record the U.S.A. has had in this international competition. Financial contributions will be asked for, to be sent to the Olympic Commission. The small-mouth bass often found in warm water lakes and ponds is not a true bass.
