It is a four-page paper, well edited and tv ally printed. The school has installed a .Camibell cylinder press and a lino'ype and starts oft' with 800 subscribers. Edgar D. Henderson, who supplied as a linotype operator here the past two summers, is one of the advisers. Step over to the high school gym this evening and see the basketball games.

Hoagy Carmichael has written another song for Lauren “Baby Bacall. Number called “Please Believe Me." The star sang Carmichael’s “How Little We Know" in “To Have and Have Not.” Just saw the battle film, “San Pietro,” shot by Army Signal Corps photographers in Italy's Liri Valley. Picture hits with a staggering impact. Probably shows better than any other reels so far just what concentrated hell the infantry goes through in this war. Major John Husten, Capt. Jules Buck and six combat photographers made this picture. Col. Frank Capra supervised it. Lt. Gen. Mark Clark speaks an introduction. Every American should see “San Pietro”—and then QUADRUPLE his war effort. A slight set-back (nothing serious) will compel Eleanor Powell to keep a nurse longer than expected after the birth of her baby. She won’t be allowed downstairs for another week. Eleanor and Husband Glenn Ford are being sought for a personal appearance in Quebec to aid the Canadian Sixth War Loan drive.

fehsnj o . bmic | f \Comes Home 11 The American Legion Auxiliary presents the following information based on the GI Bill of Rights for the benefit of returning veterans: Q. How long may a veteran draw Readjustment Allowance and how much can he draw? A. A veteran may draw for a maximum of 52 weeks depending on the length of service. The first 90 qualifying days of service entitle the veteran to 8 weeks for each of the first three months, and 4 weeks of allowances for each additional month. Therefore, the first three qualifying momths entitle a veteran to 24 payments and a veteran with 9 months and 16 or more days would be entitled to 52 payments. Because the Readjustment Allowance is based upon weeks of entitlement, a partially employed veteran may receive as little as $52 and exhaust his entire entitlement while a totally unemployed veteran might draw $1,040. Q. What is to prevent a veteran from drawing S2O per week for 52 weeks during this time when the services of all aremeeded? A. He may be disqualified from receiving benefits for as much as five weeks for the following reasons: (1) If he leaves suitable work voluntarily without good cause; (2) If he refuses to apply for suitable work without good cause to which he has been referred by a public employment office; (3) If he refuses to accept suitable work when offered him; (4) If he does noit attend a free training course; (5) Or if he is. employed due to a stoppage of work caused by a labur dispute. Q. How shall a veteran file a claim? A. Claims shall be filed at any of the local offices of the United States Employment Service. Q. What should the veteran take with him in filing a claim? A. He must present the original copy of his discharge. This discharge or release paper is stamped by the office indicating a claim has been filed and returned to him. | .— o — Special Services And Meetings Os Churches In Arer IB F / jo Monroe Friends Captain Jewell D.

ICKES DOUBTS COAL (Continued From Page One) tion on coal purchasing and storing applies only to anthracite, and is 87% percent of normal needs. Ickes also warned that if selective service continues to draft miners for the afmed services, coal production will drop below the danger point and production 3f such vital war materials as steel will be curtailed. He said the coal situation in general “is bad and getting worse.” Bituminous stockpiles declined eight percent since Jan. 1 and anthracite stocks 21.6 percent. He refused to comment on the current contract negotiations, in which UMW president John L. Lewis is playing a leading role. Those talks currently are centering around re-employment rights of war veterans returning to mine jobs.
