NEWS EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions con­ cerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Ad­ ministration. Below are some representative queries Ad­ ditional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q. How do veterans stack up as credit risks under the G.I. Bill home loan program? A. - America's veterans have been, and are continuing to be, good credit risks. Almost one- half (3.9 million) of the eight million VA guaranteed home loans have been repaid in full, and the number of defaults and claims in 1972 continued at the same (3.2 percent) levels as 1971 and 1970 which were the lowest experienced by VA since the late 1950's. Q - I read where the Veterans administration operates 168 hospitals. Just how many veterans do they treat? A - A record high of about one million veterans will receive VA hospital care in Fiscal Year 1973, the greatest number in history, and 150,000 more than the record number treated in Fiscal 1972. Out­ patient medical care will go up from 91 -i million visits to nearly 11 million, compared to about 7 million visits in 1969. Q -- Seems to me even the small-town VA hospitals have young medical trainees around, these days, and they sure brighten up the place. Are all the VA hospitals helping train health workers? A - Yes. All of the 168 hospitals are now affiliated with colleges and universities for training purposes. About 62,000 medical and allied health trainees will receive clinical experience in VA hospitals this year. to sponsor the first annual dinner for the lettermen on this % year s M.C.H.S. football squad The banquet will be held at the Villa Hotel Resort at Pistakee Bay, the big night being scheduled for Nov. 8.

Dated this 19 day of July, A.D. 1973. Vernon W. Kays County Clerk (Pub. Aug. 15-22-29, 1973 ) Thousands of Illinois senior citizens and disabled persons will have more time to file for property tax relief, Robert H. Allphin, director of the Illinois Department of Revenue, has announced. "In an effort to reach every qualified citizen in Illinois, I have decided to extend the filing deadline from Sept. 15 to Nov. 15," Allphin declared. "Gov. Walker is deeply concerned about the elderly and disabled, especially in these times of inflation. The governor has asked me to make sure all qualified senior citizens and disabled persons have an equal opportunity to obtain property tax relief benefits," Allphin said. The revenue director noted that many Illinois counties are late mailing property tax bills. Under the Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Property Tax Relief act, eligible persons who pay rent or property tax on homes may qualify for annual cash grants from the state. He said that the department has processed over -96,000 applications for cash grants since the law became effective Jan. 1,1973. Over 60,000 of these applicants have received cash grants averaging $160. Over one-third of those who applied did not qualify because their property tax or equivalent rent did not exceed the percentage required by law. Applications for senior citizens and disabled persons property tax relief form, IL- 1363, may be obtained at any Illinois Department of Revenue office: by writing the depart­ ment at P.O. Box 3124, Springfield, 62708. First Aid In The Garden You know what to do if you suffer a minor cut on your hand: apply a bit of antiseptic, cover the wound and let it heal. Cuts and wounds on trees and plant materials need the same care. According to the American Association of Nurserymen, openings that occur in plant tissues provide access for in­ sects and disease organisma, and require treatment. Small wounds will heal by them­ selves, but any cut larger than one inch in diameter should be covered with specifically prepared tree paints containing an antiseptic and available at any nursery garden center. Don't substitute a house paint because some contain toxic materials that will injure plants. After the initial "first aid" treatment, inspect the injury now and then to make sure the dressing is still intact. If cracks or peeling show up. an ad­ ditional coat of the'ree wound dressing is prescribed. ISSUE CHARTER A charter has been issued to Weyland Construction Co., Inc. 1124 S. Blackhawk, McHenry.
