Happiness is...en joying the good life here in Illinois, but admitting to a tinge of jealousy as we hear from Gail Huff that the crocus and daffodils are blooming and the flowering trees are starting already in her home state of Oregon. Happiness is...meeting charming Tony Zidek and his mom at the reception given for them at Christ the King hall by the Master Property Owners association of Wonder Lake. Tony, the five-year-old National Easter Seal poster child, is having a year filled with memorable experiences and is looking forward to his trip to California and Disneyland! Happiness is...asking for west side Wonder Lakers to give us a call with their news. We don't neglect your side of the lake purposely. We just don't hear "what's happening".

NEWS i (Editor's note: Following are representative questions an­ swered daily by VA counselors. Full information is available at any VA office.) Q--If my son enlists for military service now, will he be entitled to GI bill education benefits? A--Persons who initially enlist after Jan. 1, 1977, are eligible for veterans' education benefits if they contribute to the cost through monthly payroll deductions. VA will contribute $2 for every $1 the serviceman pays under the new GI bill program. A~Can a veteran use his VA home loan guarantee benefit to buy rental property? A--No. Veterans must certify they intend to live in the home they buy or build with a VA- guaranteed loan. Q-Can arrangements for burial in a national cemetery be made prior to a veteran's death? A-No. Burial arrangements can be made by relatives or friends of the veteran at the time of his death. They should contact the superintendent of the national cemetery at which burial is desired. Q~At what age is a veteran presumed to be totally disabled for purposes of qualifying for nonservice-connected VA pension? A-Total disability is presumed at age 65, but you must still meet other eligibility requirements to qualify for VA pension. Check with your nearest VA office for details. * * • • No community will grow and develop when its people are envious of each other. • • » • When you discover a liar you know how to pro­ tect yourself against what he says.
