Provided for Servicemen
Draftees, national
and reservists who go into active,
military service may apply to the
veterans administration for pro-;

insurance policies during the time
they are in uniform.
This privilege, the V. A. an
nounced, is offered to servicemen
and women under terms of the sol
diers and sailors civil relief act,
which gives the V. A. authority to
guarantee premiums on commer
cial life insurance policies. Face
value of the policy or policies guar-j
anteed for each serviceman is lim
ted to $10,000. I
The V. A. said premiums paid
by the V. A. for the insured under
the act will remain as an indebted- ;
ness against the individual and ;
must be repaid after his return to
civilian life.
National service life insurance,
administered by the V. A., is an
other insurance benefit available
to all servicemen and to all World
war II veterans who can meet the
health requirements, the V. A. said.
Servicemen who have allowed their
oid N. S. L. I. policies to lapse may
apply for reinstatement or take,

BRAUBACH, Germany—Have you

Well, if you have, there are sev

■
Many owners have been hanging
out the "Castle for Sale" signs for
a long time. It's tough, owning an
80-room stone house and not being
able to support it.
There are 10 000 castles ln East
and Germany, Of these, 6.000
are uninhabitable ruins. About 2,
000 of the remainder are residences
while the rest are partly ruined,
Most of the "residence castles" are
in the Western zones,
Fritz Ebhardt, president of the as
sociation for the conservation of
German castles, owns one. Perched
on a steep hill, it was built in 980
A. D. and its present occupants re

near the intersection with Montana

driving on Main street and Mar

a damaged right front fender,

Question of the Week: j
Q. My doctor told me that I
should have my tonsils removed,
but I can't afford it. As a World
war II veteran, can I have this |
operation performed at a V. A.
hospital, even though my condition ;
is not service-connected ? |
A. Yes, if V. A. doctors deem
surgery is necessary and if you
sign a certificate stating you are!

He explained this doesn't mean
that when taxes go into arrears that
a state takes over the castle. The
administrations are too canny. They
know that saddling themselves with
a castle can be financially embar- j
rassing.
There have been recent cases, j
however, where ancient furnishings j
have been claimed by the state in
Heu of taxes.
Ebhardt says descendants of old |
German families often prefer to j
live in poverty in their ancestral
castles rather than walk out. Some,
not 50 proud, have turned parts of j
tb eir castles into inns or hotels. This :
has not alwa y s been a success be- ;
cause of the general inconvenience ,
of bedding down with history in a

Ebhardt wishes Americans of Ger- j
man descent would take interest in
helping to preserve the castles. The
West German Republic has not.
He points out that the Nazi
regime first took over all the
castles, but speedily found out they
were a losing proposition to main
tain.
"They handed them back in a
hurry," he says.

Issue 2,300 Social
Security Duplicate

-
It is estimated that the words,
"I have lost my social security
card." were heard at least 2,300
t j meg ; n the Billings field office of
.
the social security administration
durng the past year, accordng to
(denn A. Gardner, manager of that;
office.
A total of 2,300 duplicate social !
security cards were issued in the \
last year by the Billings field of- !
fice to applicants residing in the !
22 southeastern Montana counties j
served by that office. j
While there is no actual charge j
to the applicant in securing a du- j
plicate social security card, Mr. !
Gardner points out that each du- 1
plicate issued does cost the social j
security administration a small |
amount and when this figure is !
multiplied by the many thousands |
who have lost their cards a sizable |
j the time their original card was j
issued.
Holders of social security cards j
are i nstruc ted to take care of theiri
ca rds. They should remember that!
this card represents their stake in
a valuable insurance policy with the
federal government. Employers
will need to see the card and it
sbould be immediately made avail
able to them. However, it should!
not be retained permanently by the
employer,
Although it is always possible to
security card, the loss of the card
may inconvenience the worker cr
his employer. Holders of social se
curity cards arc urged to give their
cards the same care they give to
other valuable papers.

^
The 1940 census gave Montana's population as
559,456, while tentative 1950 figures show that
there are 587,196 people in the state, a gain of
about 5/1.
But "telephone population" has gone up
much faster. In 1940 lh?s Company was serv
ing 62.500 telephones in Montana; now the
figure has skyrocketed to 123,300, a gain of

"Bringing a telephone into the world" in
volves a lot more than just delivering it. It has
to be connected wii h all other telephones, which
means that wires, poles, cable and central office
equipment must be available. Moreover, as tele
phones are added, the job becomes more com
plex and costs (particularly at today's high
prices) go up.
Keeping abreast of demand for telephone
service in Montana has required an expenditure
of $11,400,000 since the end of the war. And,
if Montana's telephone needs are to be met,
large additional amounts of new capital will
be needed. This must come from investors, and
people will invest their dollars with us only if
our earnings compare favorably with those of
other businesses.

Young Mother Testifies
Of Selling Baby for $100
NEW YORK—A young Brook
lyn mother testified in a baby
"black market" trial that she
sold her baby for $100 to a
lawyer who in turn offered it to
a childless wife.
The wife testified that the
lawyer offered her the child for
$2,000. When she said she could
not afford that price, he marked
the infant down to $1,750—which
she said she and her husband
paid.
The two women testified in the
trial of a woman and two lawyers
accused of operating the black
market. The court ordered that
none of the witnesses' names be
disclosed.

Richmond Woman Develops

WASHINGTON—Whether by acci
j dent or not. Mrs. C. S. Gilbert of
I Richmond, Va., has developed a
; new way to shoo flies. And the de

I One day Mrs. Gilbert called in
1 a man to fix the hot water heater
j and mentioned something about her

j not to worry about a thing, just

screen door and all would be well.
Mrs. Gilbert finally did stick a
; wad of cotton on the back and front
; door. The flies disappeared.
Word got around. Pretty soon
every cottage in town was packed
1 with cotton dotted screens.
Scientists came to Mrs. Gilbert's j
door and they found no flies. But
they were unable to explain it.
An aide in the department of agri
culture said maybe; (1) The flies
may think cotton is their dreaded
enemy, the moth; (2) the flies
think the cotton in the screen doors
is a spider web A

SOUTHBRIDGE, Mass.—Science

in old age. except when a white

iris. The crescents expand into a !
