Help Us To Help America’s Disabled Veterans The Disabled American Veterans Service Foundation invites YOU to enter its new 1949

Annual Puzzle Contest. It invites your support and offers you the opportunity to win a share

of $100,000.00 in Cash Prizes.

“At the same time; the Trustees of the DAV Service Foundation thank all those who participated in our last puzzle contest, enabling the Foundation to dllocate a very substantial sum to the DAV, for use in maintaining itsnation-wide service set up, to advise and assist thousands of deserving handicapped veterans (and their dependents and widows andorphans) to become cally and vocationally adjusted to useful selfsustaining civilian living, Incorporated by special Act of Congress, the DAV needs these funds —and much more—to help rehabilitate America’s 2,500,000 disabled war veterans—to help them to obtain needed claim evidence, service connections, medical care, hospitalization, vocational training, and suitable employment «+. yes, even to solve personal problems. 9 _. It'is for these services that the » Foundation again solicits your sup~

port. Yes, your contribution is needed and you will be happy to know that every penny of the net proceeds of this contest (after paying for the prizes, advertising and all other necessary expenses) will be used by the Foundation and by the DAV to continue its work, -

Act on this golden opportunity now. Read the Entry Form and

in. a higher score free of charge later on if you find you can improve on the solution you now send in. So there's really no reason to delay. The important thing is to get into the contest right away and put in your bid for your share of the prizes. (See special prize for fast action featured at the left.) Remember, in helping America’s disabled veterans you may be helping yourself to a fortune of $50,000.00 cash or some other part of $100,000.00 which must be won!

JUST FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS

Identify the six objects at the top of the puzzle. (The name of each object is a six-letter word.) :

See the table of letter values below the puzzle. Each letter is worth a certain number of points. If you have exactly named the objects you will find that the total value of the 36 letters that spell out the names of the six objects is 743 points. If you don’t arrive at 743 points then try again, for the 36 letters must add up to 743 points.

Now your job is to place those words, correctly spelled, into the shaded letterpaths, each of which has space for six letters. You can place any one of the six words in any one of the shaded paths. Each word must read from top to bottom or left to right. ;

You will now note there are 13 empty white squares remaining in the diagram. Now you must insert letters of your own choosing into those 13 white squares and by combining these letters with the interlocking letters you have already filled into the grey spell out 5 extra complete words. Each of these 5 extra words, must read from top to bottom or from left to right.

~ Fees

Of course, it is easy to fill in 13 extra letters which in combination _ with the letters in the grey squares will spell out 5S extra different words, but remember your job is to use 13 letters that will give you a high score when the value of those extra letters (as shown in the table of letter values) is added to the 743 points you will have al ready earned if you identified the pictured objects correctly.
