As a service to veterans in this
area. THE NOME NUGGET will
publish a column of the questions
most frequently asked contact men
of the Veterans Administration
in this area.
For more detailed information
veterans should contact or write
to the nearest VA contact unit at
Rooms 46 and 47, Post Office
building. Anchorage. Alaska.
Q. Does the Veterans Adminis
tration make loans?
A. No. The Veterans Adminis
tration is not permitted to make
loans. It only guarantees the re
payment of a part of a loan made
by a lender to a veteran.
Q. Can a loan to purchase
household furniture be guaran
teed?
A. No.
Q. May I make larger payments
on my G. I. loan than my regular
installments when I am able?
A. Yes. You have the right to
repay at any time without premi
um or fee the entire indebtedness
or any part of your loan, but not
less than the amount of one in
stallment of $100, whichever is
less.
Q. Why weren’t the subsistence
checks mailed out to veteran stu
dents or trainees on Sept. 1 and
Oct. 1 adjusted in accordance with
; the new ceiling limitations?
A. Because at that time the Vet
erans Administration did not have
the necessary reports of earnings
on which to base computations.
Rather than hold u checks of those
entitled to al lor part of their
former allowances, the VA decided
to continue full payments until
the required earnings reports are
I received.
Q. When a veteran computes
j how much he has made during
. the month, should be include over
time pay as part of his wages?
A. He should include all regu
larly scheduled overtime. How
ever, overtime worked occasion
ally should not be included.
P.A.A. Reaches New High
In Southbound Passengers
Reaching a new high in passen
gers carried southbound, the Alas
ka Clippers of Pan American
! World Airways last month flew
| nearly 2,000 passengers to Seattle,
J. D. Fessio, regional traffic man
ager reported.
“Northbound passenger figures
| indicate the normal reduced trend
; for this time of the year, although
it is to be noted that the total
northbound haul was almost twice
last year’s figures,” Fesio said.
Total passengers in and out of
Seattle and between points reach
ed 3,600, an increase of 185 per- j
cent over the same month last I
year.
Cargo movement showed an
even greater increase, with 223
percent more last month than in
September 1945, Fessio said.
More than 7,000 persons flew to
and from Alaska during August
and September, highest number
of passengers carried by Pan
American over a two-month peri
or in its 14 years of Alaskan oper
ations.
“Business people comprise the
main traffic,” Fessio said, “but
hardly a flight goes out now with
out a sportsman aboard.”
CHUCKLES
The patient complained of pro
longed headaches and the doctor
told h.rn to stop smoking.
“I have never used tobacco in
any form,” he said.
“Well, then, stop drinking.”
"I am a total abstainer.”
“Well, then, late hours and fast
women.”
“But I am always in bed by
nine. I am a bachelor and live
with a maiden sister. Now, doctor,
what causes my headaches?”
“I don’t know,” said the baffled
doctor, “unless your halo’s pinch
ing.”
Doctor—So your insomnia is
still bothering you. eh? Well, why
not try eating something just be
fore you go to bed?
Patient — But, Doctor, four
weeks ago you told me never to
eat anything before going to bed!
Doctor—Ahem! That was four
weeks ago. Since then science has
made wonderful strides.
The mother and daughter were
very busy with the wedding plans
when the bridegroom-to-be called.
He watched the preparations
rather impatiently for a while, un
til his future wife noticed his look
of annoyance.
“Darling, we have such a lot to'
do,” she soothed, “and if we want
to make our wedding a big suc
cess we mustn’t forget the most
insignificant detail!”
“Oh, don’t worry about that,”
murmured the young man. “I’ll be
there all right.”

SHADES
OF BALTO!
Serum gets there
quicker by Clipper
• Remember way back in BC (Before Clipper) days
when Balto got all the publicity for the dramatic dog
team dash to Nome with serum?
Well, it happened again not long ago. Only this time
a Clipper rushed the serum. Anchorage was threatened
with a serious diphtheria epidemic. With little or no
serum on hand, quick action was needed.
Immediately, one of the largest shipments of serum
ever sent to the Alaska region was rushed North by
Pan American Clipper.
In an emergency, or any time, you can depend on
Pan American’s Flying Clippers for speedy delivery.
When you want to save valuable travel time remember
— it*s quicker by Clipper.
For reservations, schedules and Clipper Express
rates, contact Pan American at
