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 - I'm an 18 year old son of a World War II veteran who died two months ago. Am I eligible for a GI home loan from the Veterans administration? A -- No. Only unmarried widows or widowers of service personnel killed on active duty, or of veterans who died from service-connected disabilities, and spouses of service per sonnel missing in action or captured for more than 90 days, are eligible for GI home loans. Q - Do Veterans ad ministration hospitals and clinics take care of reservists injured reporting to, or returning from military training? A - Yes. Medical care is available for injuries and illnesses which occur during travel time as specified in the reservist's military orders. Both active duty and inactive duty training are considered active duty for this purpose. Q - Some six million veterans were released from military service between 1955 and 1966. Is it true that these veterans have an additional two years to use thier GI Bill benefits under a recent law? A -- Yes. Under a law ap proved in July 1974 (PL 93-337), veterans released during that period who have not exhausted entitlement have 10 years or until May 31, 1976, whichever is later, to complete training.

The club also assisted the project with food and cash. Most of those who benefit from the pantry are referrals from social agencies and churches, but it is also possible to call FISH at 385-8020. St. Patrick Catholic church and St. Mary Catholic church take up collections of food the first Sunday of each month for use by FISH in meeting emergencies. State Police Start Curb On Speeding The Illinois state police is beginning the use of totally unmarked vehicles in its patrol fleet to help curb the increase in speeding by motorists beginning May 1. Each trooper assigned to an unmarked vehicle will also carry the new hand-held radar guns. An undisclosed number of vehicles have been assigned to each of the sixteen state police districts in Illinois, according to Dwight E. Pitman, superintendent. An uniformed trooper is assigned to each new unmarked car. The autos in the new fleet-and they are not all autos-bear no resemblance whatsoever to the conventional beige Dodge or Plymouth in use as the mainstay of the state police auto fleet. Most are two-door hardtops and come from all four major U.S auto makers. Pitman said he hoped the deterrent effect of the totally unmarked vehicle would help slow down the motoring public. In recent checks by stationary radar for non-enforcement survey purposes only, 75.1 percent of all vehicles were traveling over the national 55 mph speed limit. The survey went on to show that thirty-nine of every 100 vehicles were moving more than 60 mph, sixteen of every 100 were going over 65 mph and 5 of every 100 were traveling in excess of 70 mph. "We know that speed, although not the only cause of traffic accidents, is the major- contributor to the severity of accidents." Pitman also said that in March of 1975, traffic fatalities in Illinois very nearly reached the number of fatalities in March of 1974, when the national 55 mph speed limit went into effect. The Illinois state police, which collectively travels nearly 50 million miles a year on patrol, know that drivers can react faster and control their vehicles easier at slower speeds. It is their desire and duty to slow some drivers down for the good of the entire motoring public. The purpose in alerting the public in advance to the use of these vehicles is to seek their Present Gift For Fire House the women of the Wonder Lake Volunteer Fire depart ment auxiliary for Company I, presented the Company II auxiliary with a coffee maker for their new fire house which will be built this summer on the west side of the lake Presenting the gift for the Company I auxiliary was Vice- President Arlene Buss and Margaret Bethke. Company I purchased two of these coffee makers, one for each Fire company. Anyone wishing to contribute to the Firemen's Equipment fund may do so through sponsoring the activities of the auxiliary. One such activity is the Mother's day bake sale to be held Sunday, May 11, at the East side Company I firehouse from 8:30a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone wishing to donate baked goods for the sale should contact Arlene Buss 728-0092 or Pat Crocco 653-4623. Company I sponsored a pot- luck mixer Sunday, April 20, at the East side firehouse. Present for the mixer were the Company I firemen and their wives and the women of the Company I auxiliary and their husbands. Millie O'Brian provided organ music. The next meeting for the Company I auxiliary will be held Tuesday May 20, at 8 p.m. voluntary cooperation in slowing down. The police believe the deterrent effect of advance notice will greatly enhance the success of the program. Voluntary cooperation in this program is sought, but the next camper truck may be driven by an on-duty trooper. Never refuse to listen to advice, but rarely follow it.
