Below are some representat ive queries. Ad­ dit ional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q - Since the last Civil War veteraadied several years ago, aren' t the veterans of World War I the senior l iving veterans group0 A -- No. As of July 1, 1974, according to the Veterans Administrat ion stat ist ical^ publication, 'America 's Wars," there were 1,372 l iving veterans of the Spanish- American War. Q -- Is the Veterans ad­ ministrat ion helping blind veterans through technical research? A -- Yes. Among some of the projects are ultra-sonic eyeglasses that indicate to the blind person his distance from an object , a laser cane that emits beams to detect obstacles and two machines that enable the blind to read. Q -- With al l the GI Bil l help for veterans who want to go to college, why can' t the govern­ ment do something for the kids who dropped out of high school to go to war? A - Increasing numbers of s o - c a l l e d e d u c a t i o n a l l y disadvantaged have trained since enactment of the current GI Bil l in 1966. In fact , a recent check showed a total of 555,(MM) had trained -- a sizeable 38 per cent jump in the number who had trained a year earl ier . ping will reduce heat loss by at least 15 percent. --Keep thermostats between 65 and 68 degrees during the day, 60 at night. --Check ductwork periodically. --Don't use hot water need­ lessly. The wattfr heater is the second largest user of energy in the home. --Every time a refrigerator or freezer door is opened, it costs money. --An adequate temperature for a refrigerator is 40 degrees, 0 to 10 for the freezer. --The stove normally accounts for 5 to 10 percent of your utility bill. Cook with less heat when possible. . --Operated ishwasher only wljen they are full. Same for laundry appliances. --Turning lights off and on as needed saves more energy than leaving them on. . Letter * from Washington by Senator Charles H. Percy In reviewing the work of the Senate over the past-y^ar, we can note many accom- p 1 i s h m e n t s"""?hat were achieved in a year of unusu&I political change. There is much more to be done to ad­ dress crucial problems at home and abroad, but overall the record of the second year of the 93rd Congress was a good ^)ne. In numerous ways, the 93rd Congress will be remembered as the Congress thtffxreassert- ed the power of the legisla­ tive branch of the federal government. For years power had been accumulating in the executive branch at the ex­ pense of the legislative and judicial branches. A balance among the three branches is essential to the orderly opera­ tion of our government. The balance is now more equal. No piece of legislation is more representative of the rpassertion of Congressional authority "and 'responsibility than the Budget Reform Act of 1974. Signed into law in One 16th century doctor was mad enough to believe that mints could cure hydrophobia. Henry Block has 17 reasons why you should come to us for income tax help. ^ ^ JL Reason 8.

Phone 385-8630 OPEN TODAY - NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY July, this act {>*aces clear responsibility for spending decisions in the hands of Con­ gress. It also gives Congress the authority to set spending policy through a new budget- afv system ^In short, the Act gives Con- • gross the authority to set an­ nual spending ceilings- and priorities. .At the same time, it gives Congress the respon­ sibility to live within our means. No longer will Con­ gress spend thp taxpayers' monev without a clear under­ standing of our nation's assets. New budget commit­ tees in the House and Senate will carefully monitor spend­ ing to assure that expendi­ tures fall within certain , limits. As a major contributor1 to this Act, I believe it is the most important pie£e of legis­ lation I have worked on in my eight years in the Senate. The Act will help assure more fiscally sound budget-making and thus help fight inflation. Another important accom­ plishment of Congress in the last year was passage of cam- ' naign spending reform legis­ lation. There is iittle doubt that big' money in polities was a major factor in the Watergate scandal. The re­ sult was a loss of public laith in the political system and a growing cynicism about the health of our democracy As a nation, we simply can not operate under a system that makes public office available to the highest bidder. Tlje campaign spending law sharply limits the amount of money that can be contrib­ uted' to, and. spent on, Con­ gressional and Presidential campaigns. It should open the jxilitical system to more par­ ticipants and put an end to such flagrant abuses of out- electoral process as slush funds and the sale of ambas­ sadorships. Most important of all, the new law should help restore American's faith in their political system. Other laws passed by the 93rd Congress stand out as truly landmark legislation. Congress passed pension re­ form legislation that will pro­ tect millions of American workers against the1 threat of the loss of earned assets. Congress also acted to begin Adequate funding of mass transit, a need that has been ignored for years in favor of spending for highways. While our nation's highway system i s e s s e n t i a l t o a d e q u a t e growth, it must not be funded at the expense of alternate forms of transportation that must be developed in light of the energy crisis. , ' The trade bill that was passed in ihe final days of the second session of the 93rd Congress was an important step toward building a strong world economy. And the war powers bill, which gives Con^, gress the power to limit American participation in armed conflicts, was an out­ standing example of the re- assertion of Congressional au­ thority. A number of bills that went un'passed must be addressed with dispatch by the new PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1975 Congress. Specifically, Cosp^ gross should act early in the 94th Congress to approve con- < sumer protection legislation to see that the consumer is pro­ tected in the marketplace. Passage of a national health insurance plan, which would protect American's from the ( firremeial ruin that oftwi ac­ companies catastrophic ill­ nesses, "Should receive immedi­ ate consideration. And Con­ gress should act to remove many of the inequities in our federal tax system. Your thoughts and opinions on these important pieces of legislation are important. I welcome your views, and hope you will communicate Often with my office in Washington as Congress conside*^- - these matters. Only through open cotanmunication between legis­ lator and constituent can we pass legislation that is fair and just and meets the needs of every American. The Veterans administrat ion cautions veterans planning to travel or establish residence overseas to check first with the agency, because certain benefi ts are prohibited by law in foreign countries.
