VETERANS
Questions .md Answers
Q—My State gives a bonus to
Korea veterans. May I apply for
it through the VA?
A—No. VA does not administer
State bonuses. You should file
your application
with your
not with VA.
A—You would not have a
choice. Families of veterans who
died of service-connected con
ditions after January 1, 1957,
are eligible only for Indemnity
Compensation payments under
the new Survivors' Benefits Act.
Q—My son is eligible for
schooling under the War Orphans
education program, since my hus
band, a World War II veteran,
died of a service-connected dis
ability. I was thinking of going
to Europe to get a secretarial
job with the Army, bringing my
son with me. Could he go to
school in Europe under this pro
gram?
A—No. Under the law, train
in e in foreign countries is pro
hibited.
Q—Does a Korean GI trainee
have the right to change his
course if his progress in his pre
sent course hasn't been satis
factory?
A—He may, if he can show
VA that the lack of progress was
not due to his own misconduct,
neglect or lack of application
«nd if he has not changed his
course prior to that time.
Q—I am a World War II vet
eran, and I understand I must
apply for a GI loan by July 25,
1958. Must I actually obtain the
money for the loan by that date?
A—No. Your lender at least
must have agreed to make the
loan, and must have requested
VA's approved by July 25, 1958.
The law gives you up to an ad
ditional year to close the deal.
Q—I am a Korean veteran.
Would I be permitted, to study
dressmaking in France under the
Korean GI Bill?
A—The law prohibits it. The
only foreign training allowed is
college-level work, approved by
VA, offered by accedited institu
tions of hjgher learning.
Q—I was injured on the job,
tnd doctors tell me I am totally
disabled. I hold a World War II
GI insurance policy. May I stop
paying premiums and retain my
coverage?
A—No. You should continue
paying your premiums. After
you have been totally disabled
for six months, apply to VA for
a waiver of premiums. Continue
to pay until VA informs you
your waiver has been granted.
VA will refund all premiums
paid during the period of your
total disability, but for-not more
than one year prior to filing your
claim.
Q—I am a disabled Korea vet
eran and I have received voca
tional rehabilitation training
under Public Law 894. Would I
now be eligible for further
training under the Korean GI
Bin?
A—You may be. Subtract the
amount of vocational rehabilita
tion training received from 48
months. If there is a balance left
over, that is the amount of
training to which you might be
entitled under the Korean GI
Bill.
Q—Am I supposed to notify
my GI insurance beneficiaries if
I want to make a change in my
beneficiary list?
A—No. You need merely
notify VA of your new list of
beneficiaries. You need not
notify the beneficiaries them
selves,

Ted W. Brown -I
Secretary of State of Ohio
One of the duties of your
Secretary of State is to prescribe
the official ballots which will be
used at the coming primary elec
tion. Of course not all areas of
Ohio have primaries in the odd
numbered years. However, the
ballots for the primaries that
will be held must be prescribed,
under the law, not later than
February 21, the seventy-fifth
day before the day of the pri
mary election.
It is necessary to prescribe the
ballots this early before election
in order to provide sufficient
time for the various Boards of
Elections to have them printed
and available by March 8, sixty
days before the primary.
The ballots can then be mailed
to Armed Service Absent Voters
and Civilian Absent Voters out
side the continental United
States, so as to give ample time
for them to receive their ballots
and return them to the Board of
Elections prior to election day.
Inasmuch as the Democratic
primary is separate and distinct
from the Republican primary,
there are two types of ballots
prescribed for the primaries—
one for each party. Each elector
is then entitled to vote the bal
lot of only one party. Then, too,
it is possible, as we have pointed
out in a previous article, to have
the primary eliminated for one
party and not for the other
party, both within the same sub
division.

TRAOKMAMI
...with JAMES C. INGEBRETSFN
President, Spiritual Mobilization
"Ah, good taste, what a dread
ful thing!" declared Pablo Pic
asso. "Taste is the enemy of
creativeness.7
But the Carnegie Foundation
says, "A sense of values is the
most important element in hu
man personality, more important
than knowledge, intelligence, or
imagination."
And how far different from
taste is a sense of values?
The puerile notion that good
taste is a dreadful thing has
cluttered our art galleries with
daubs of paint that make as
much sense upside down as right
side up. It has given us a flood
of novels that offend ei^ery de
cent moral standard. It has
largely contributed to our
"empty values and national
uneasiness" of which Russell
Lynes has a good deal to say in
his new book, "A Surfeit of
Honey."
Good taste is not a dreadful
thing—and it is not the enemy
of creativeness. It is the moral
and aesthetic standard that in
spires truly great art. Without
it, not only our art but our per
sonal livimg sinks to lower and
lower depths of degradation. I
think I almost agree with the
Carnegie Foundation that good
taste—that is, a sound sense of
values—"is the most important
element in human personality."
"It is not so much what you
believe in that matters," says
Lin Yutang in the Chicago Tri
bune Magazine of Books, las the
way in which you believe it, and
proceed to translate that belief
into action."
Well, as I see it, this is one of
those popular half truths that
people like to believe in but that
won't stand up under either logi
cal analysis or actual practice.
Suppose you believe in a dead
storage battery—and "proceed to
translate that belief into action"
by closing the starter switch.
Will your belief in the battery
start your engine?
Or suppose you
believe in ex­
pediency rather than principle?
Will "the way in which you be
lieve it, and translate that belief
into action" cause expediency to
serve you in the same way that
principle would have?
di­
It is true, of course, as James
tells us, that "faith without
works is dead"—and this is the
part that is true in the above
statement. But it is just as true
that misplaced faith is dead. A
lot of us don't like to admit that
—in his day of wishful thinking
—but it is true just the same.
And, the sooner we admit it and
face up to it, the better off we'll
be as individuals, as a nation,
find as a world.

MORMONS SET SPLENDID
EXAMPLE
In an article carried in its De
cember 20, 1956 issue, the Wall
Street Journal paid tribute to
the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (for purposes
of brevity more popularly
known as the Mormon Church).
It pointed out among other
things:
That in recent years, the rise
of the welfare state has con
flicted with the Mormon phi
losophy that the church should
take care of its own, and that to
maintain its ideals, it has been
forced to create many new en
terprises, ranging from cattle
raising in Wyoming to sugar cane
lands in Hawaii and grapefruit
raising in Arionza in addition
to owning department stores,
coal mines, insurance companies,
etc. in Utah.
That while it is entitled in
connection with many of these
businesses, to tax exemption,
the Mormon Church insists on
paying full Federal taxes on all
profits from these enterprises,
because, as Arben O. Clark (co
ordinator of the church's wel
fare program) says: "We believe
and teach that the U. S. Constitu
tion is a Diviaely inspired docu
ment ... All church programs
are designed to support our
democratic and capitalistic way
of life."
That during various economic
crises which have occurred since
the establishment of these enter
prises, wealthy Mormons have
come to the aid of the church
and its industries on many occas
ions.
The Mormon Church sets a
-i.ining example that all religious
sects would do well to emulate—
n certainly believes in "The
American Way," and proves it
by its, actions.
LABOR SHORTAGE LOOMS
AHEAD
Th£ United States of America
may not be growing wisely, but
its population is certainly shoot
ing skyward. It is estimated that
at the end of 1956, there were
169 millions of us, representing
an increase of 17% million since
1950.
Two groups, comprising those
under 18 and those over 65, both
of which for the most part are
non-producers, account for all of
the population growth of the past
six years—the number of produ
cers has practically stood still.
Which means that the same
number of producers now have
to supply the' ne^ds of more*
people.
The labor force 'can only be
augmented by putting more
women to work—that is unless
we repeal our child labor laws
and raise the retirement age
from 65 to 70 or 75 years. Right
now, the fair sex makes up one
third of the nation's working
force.
Adding to the difficulty and
presaging trouble ahead for the
consumer, is a shortage of skills.
Thousands of jobs go a-begging
because there aren't enough
properly trained people. In spite
of this, there are 65 million of
us gainfully employed which
leaves unemployed an almost
rock bottom three percent of
employables.
It's a rosy picture right now,
but a definite labor shortage
threatens for the future.
Parking Meter
(Continued from page one)
$22,572.99 and the expenditures
totaled $17,344.87, leaving a bal
ance of $5,228.12.
Receipts for 1955 amounted to
$9,736.75 and the expenditures
totaled $6,659.35. The balance as
of Dec. 31, 1955, was $8,305.52.
The financial report published
last week indicated a drop in
parking meter receipts for 1956
from the previous year. Total re
ceipts for the year amounted to
$9,497.25.
At the same time expenditures
for 1956, amounting to $6,698.94,
increased over the previous year.
In other words, the parking meter
fund after all expenses, showed a
net profit of $2,798.31, compared
to $3,077.40 for 1955.
The financial report failed to
show the exact expenditures,
however the fund is used to sup
plement the general fund which
normally operates in the "reddest
red".
The parking meter fund is tap
ped for such expenditures as ex
tra pay for the village clerk, ad
ditional police protection, and
most recently for the purchase of
the police cruiser. Two years ago
the sum of $2,000 was used to de
fray the cost of the sewer survey
Another expenditure which
pulled heavily from the parking
meter fund in 1956 was the cost
of the improvement of the sewer
and extension of Spruce street on
the west side. Although an actual
figure is not available, it is re
liably reported that the entire
project cost nearly $3,500.
This would be a lot tougher
world to live in if every work
day made a man as tired as a
holiday,

scientific information will be
translated.
"Dr. Joseph Kaplan, Univer
sity of California physicist who
is chairman.' of the United
States National Committee for
the International Geophysical
Year, led the discussion on the
artificial satellite at Thurs
day's conference. He said that
his committee had asked for
twelve satellites to be sent
aloft during the geophysical
year which begins on July 1,
1957, and is to end on Decem
ber 31, 1958.
'The scientists noted that the
first satellite to be sent aloft
would collect information on
enviroment, measurements of
solar ultra-violet radiation and
possibly solar x-ray radiation
and measurements of atmos
pheric density in the 200 to
1,500 mile altitude range that
the satellite is expected to
cover. The environmental in
formation to be gathered will
include temperatures at the
satellite punctures, erosion
and possible impact from
meteorites.
"The most important date to
be gained from the first satel
lite, the scientist spid, would
be that on atmosphere density.
This wiU be calculated from
the amount of drag the thin
atmosphere at high altitude
puts on the flight of the
twenty-pound-diameter sphere,
they said.
"It is expected that the first
satellite will stay aloft for a
period of at least two weeks
and possibly as long as a
year."
