BAMttAA 1% A « UaAM AVAAA/lltlfl Viptnam Frn votoranc » 1 Seven From Area Make For the first time in history the nation's veteran population has climbed above the 30 million mark. Veterans administration chief, Max Cleland, said the number is likely to keep climbing during at least the next few months before leveling off. At the end of November, VA estimated the number of living veterans at 30,023,000. \ year ago the number was 29,879,000. Cleland said the continuing increase is due to the fact that discharges from military service have been exceeding the number of deaths among veterans. The lower death rate is a reflection of the increased life expectancy in the past few years. VA said the largest group of living veterans are those who served in World War II. These numbered 12,866,000 in November and their average age was just over 58 years. In contrast only 278 veterans of the Spanish-American War remained alive in November, the survivors of the 392,000 participants in that conflict. Vietnam Era veterans totaled 8,779,000, Cleland said, and next in numerical order are the 5,893,000 men and women who served during the Korean conflict. Only 653,000 veterans of World War I are still alive out of the 4,744,000 servicemen who took part in that "war to end all wars". Their average age now is 83. Geland said California is home to more veterans than any other state. More than 3.3 million of them live there. NEWS U Of I Urbana Honors Coulch You Survive? It is 0 degrees Fahrenheit with an accompanying 15 mph wind. This results in a wind chill factor of -30 degrees F. You are some 45 minutes from the warmth of your camper and have been hiking in these elements for over two hours. You have experienced numb­ ness on the exposed parts of your hands and face. Would You... A. Stop and build a tem­ porary shelter. B. Do nothing except con­ tinue on to the camper. C. Pick up the pace and reach the camper as soon as possible. D. Protect the exposed skin areas and rewarm as needed. Continue on to the camper. To Survive (D) would be the most ap­ propriate. Provided you are adequately clothed at the beginning of your hike, simple application of a warmed hand to cold ears or cheeks, and-or placement of cold hands in the armpit or groin areas should preclude any severe frostbite from occurring. (A) would be suitable alternative if conditions worsened. The additional factor of snow or rain would almost necessitate stopping, but not under the current conditions described. (C) would be acceptable if (D) were incorporated, and the increased pace did not result in perspiration that could reduce the insulative qualities of your clothing. (B) is the least ac­ ceptable alternative. To do nothing could result in severe frostbite. Whenever you are out in temperatures like those described with an ac­ companying wind, the chances are great for exposed flesh to freeze. The conditions described may cause exposed flesh to freeze within one minute. Needed Autos have built-in di­ rectional signals. But what we need is another one showing undecided. -News, Tifton, Ga.

The multi-disciplinary program was initiated last year with the help of a $101,521 grant from the federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare's Administration on Aging. The program is aimed at providing career training for students interested in working with the elderly. Graduates of the program are required to complete an on- the-job training program at any of several area social services agencies which serve the elderly. A single grateful thought toward Heaven is the most perfect prayer. -G.E. Lessing. PACK 162 Small but mighty, that's Webelos den two. It has only four boys, but do they get the job done Jose Sanchez, den leader, says they really keep him going. The boys con­ centrate on working in their books, and attaining their badges Two of the boys recently received awards. Pat Miller earned the Scientist, Forester and Travelers badges and Chris Orin, the Sportsman badge Right now, they are working toward the Craft- smans badge in tin. and this is a very difficult badge to get. Occasionally the boys do relax a little by playing their favorite card game at their den meetings, with a hot buttered pop corn treat from Mrs. Sanchez For Blue and Gold dinner their theme was U FO.'s. Their table was stunning, with Flying Saucers, Robot napkin rings and a special treat for each guest. Future plans include at­ taining their Aquanauts badge through the use of West Campus pool, and Boy Scout guest speakers at a den meet­ ing. This is done to fill them in on what lies ahead for them as future Boy Scouts. At the pace these boys are going, becoming boy scouts is just around the corner for them.
