Q. If the lender demands some
security can I use the bonds I get i
for my terminal leave as security
for a G. I. loan?
A. No.
Q. I received overpayment of
subsistence on my September and
October checks. Should I return
the amount to the VA immediate-1
iy?
A. No. The VA is not yet ready !
to handle such returns. Rather;
than hold up checks and delay
payments, the VA decided to con
tinue full payments until earning
reports are received. You will of
course, be expected to return the
money, but the time and method
will be announced later. You will
be given a reasonable period of
time in which to make the pay
ments.

Q. I am an honorably disoharg- j
ed veteran but am committed to a
federal prison. Am I eligible to re
ceive a pension?
A. Yes. The law provides, how
ever, that an honorably discharged
veteran who is being maintained
by a state or subdivision thereof,
may not receive in excess of $30
monthly if pensioned for service
connected disabilities of $8 if for
non-service connected disabilities.
—
Q. I am a totally disabled vet
eran and rated as in need of reg
ular aid and attendance. Can I use
my wife or daughter as an at
tendant?
A. It is not necessary for a vet
eran who is so rated to hire an
outside person to attend him. He
would receive the increased
amount irrespective of who at
tends him.
Q. Are monthly payments on
my G. I. loan applied first to the
guaranteed portion or to the un
guaranteed portion of my loan?
A. The amount of guaranty de
creases pro rata with any de
crease in the unpaid balance of
the loan. In other words, as peri
odical payments are received and
credited so as to reduce the loan
balance a proportionate reduction
takes place in the amount guar
anteed.
WORTH CROWING ABOUT
PEORIA, 111., (IP)—Butchers in
some cities may be selling steaks
at $1 a pound, but a white leghorn
rooster sold at auction here car- j
ried a higher price tag to crow j
about.
J. Turner Mills of McNabb, 111., |
paid $105 for the purebred roos
ter, which weighed about five
pounds, at an auction sponsored
by the Illinois Poultry Improve
ment Association.
Mills isn’t planning to eat the
rooster, which will be used for
breeding purposes.
