SECTION 2-PAGE 4-PLAINDEALER-WED., MAY 9, 1973 American Legion Auxiliary News Poppy day will be held this year on May 12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This year, as in the past years, it will be a joint effort of McHenry VFW auxiliary and Post 4600 and American Legion auxiliary and Post 491. Most of the funds derived from the sale of the poppies remain in the community in which they are obtained and the funds are used for child welfare and rehabilitation of veterans or members of their families. The Memorial Poppy is made by the hospitalized veterans in Illinois and the materials are supplied free of charge to the veterans in the various Veterans Administration hospitals and others. In ad­ dition of the theraeputic value of such a project, they are able to receive monetary benefits also. Manufacturing poppies aids the veterans both finan­ cially and psychologically. They are paid for the work they do, and the job it self is a relief from long hours spent in a hospital ward. For many it is the only opportunity to earn money during the year. The little red opppy as the memorial flower of American war dead is a tradition which began in the years following the first world war. Veterans returning to their homes in this V.A. 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.

Mrs. Glen (Dottie) Messer is Poppy chairman for the McHenry American Legion auxiliary with Helen Spoolstra, VFW auxiliary chairman, she has organized a number of the members into volunteer teams to present the poppies to the public in the business sections of McHenry. They ask cooperation of the citizens to support this project as the donations go directly to aid the disabled veterans or their families. Donations of any size are acceptable and Poppy day offers the American public an opportunity to honor the war dead and assist the living. number of people officiating its hospitals? A - On the contrary, by the end of fiscal year 1973 (June 30), VA will have increased personnel in its hospital and medical care program to a record 154,000-nearly 10,000 more than last fiscal year, and 20,000 above the fiscal year 1971 level. Q - Can a veteran,get VA help in dealing with his family and job probelems even though he isn't sick? A - Yes. Some of Va's veterans assistance centers are staffed with social workers (now called community service specialists) to help meet the veteran's total counseling needs. Specialists are on duty in Boston, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit and other principal cities, and Va plans eventually to place them in all centers. Q ~ Are husbands of female veterans eligible for the same Veterans Administration benefits as widows of^ male veterans? A -- Yes. Under PL 92-540 (Oct. 24, 1972), the term "wife," for purposes of benefits, includes the hsuband of a female veteran and "widow" includes the widower of a female veteran. 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-Will a veteran's com­ pensation from VA be reduced if Social Security benefits are increased? A--No. VA does not count any income against compensation f o r s e r v i c e - c o n n e c t e d disabilities, including Social Security payments. Income is a factor for pensions for non- service-connected disabilities, however. , Q--Do VA pensioners over 72 years of age have to file annual i n c o m e q u e s t i o n n a i r e s anymore? A--No, they do not have to file. A recent law excludes pensioners 72 years old and older who draw benefits during two consecutive years from filing annual income questionnaires. However, they s t i l l m u s t r e p o r t c h a n g e s i n : income. Q.--What should I do if my VA benefit check does not arrive on time? A--Two things, (a) Wait long enough to be sure the^mails have cleared, (b) Write to the VA regional office which has your claim file, including your name if you're a veteran, or the deceased veteran's name if it is a death claim, and your claim number. Never write the Treasury Department, as this will only prolong the delay in receiving your check. Q-Several years ago I HAPPY MOTHERS DA Y FREE!! FREE!!

May 2.9.1973) Having chosen at signup time among a variety of plans of­ fered under this year's wheat and feed grain programs, farmers may need to give particular attention to planting to protect their wheat allot­ ments and feed grain bases. This comment comes from the chairman of the McHenry C o u n t y A g r i c u l t u r a l Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) committee, Joseph Getty, who points out that failure to plant enough acreage may result in a partial or total loss of allotment or base. Substitution provisions in­ volving wheat, feed grains, and soybeans which have been part of the farm programs for several years, offer farmers considerable flexibility in alcoholic liquor and no valid driver's license.

"Here's how it works," ex­ plained the ASC committee chairman: "Wheat-plant at least 90 percent of the farm allotment to wheat to avoid any allotment loss. Wheat planted above 100 percent of the farm allotment can be considered as feed grain for feed grain base history purposes. If no wheat, or feed grain or soybeans credited as wheat, is seeded for three consecutive years, the wheat allotment is reduced to zero. "Feed grains (corn, grain sorghum, barley) -- plant at least 45 percent of the feed grain base to feed grains to avoid history loss. Feed grains planted in excess of 50 percent of a farm's base will be con­ sidered planted to wheat for allotment preservation pur­ poses. If no feed grain, or wheat or soybeans credited as feed grain, is planted for three consecutive years, the entire feed grain base is forfeited. " S o y b e a n s - p l a n t e d f o r harvest as beans, will be considered as planted to wheat or feed grains for allotment and base preservation purposes." Producers who have questions about this provision or other aspects of the farm programs should get in touch with their ASCS office for a full explanation so that their planting plans may consider any need for history protection. THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT CONSERVING ELECTRICITY How an attic fan can take some of the load off your air conditioning. If you've ever been up in your attic on a summer day, you know how hot it gets. All that heat up there is what makes it so tough to cool the downstairs--even with air conditioning. Well, here's a hint: install an attic fan. An attic fan--whether it's at a window, gable vent or through the wall or roof--will pull that hot, dead air out of your attic. In fact, it can reduce your attic temperature by as much as 35 degrees. Your air conditioner doesn't have to work nearly as hard when it isn't fighting a hot attic. It doesn't switch on as often or run as long. You're just as comfortable, yet you're saving money. With an attic fan, you can also reduce the amount of air conditioning equipment you need. Contact your heating or air conditioning contractor for the attic fan installation that's best for your home. This hint is included in our booklet "101 Ways to Conserve Electricity at Home."
