A par* of all money' she receives from her work, she deposits systematically in her savings account in our Salem Branch. " The only sure way to obtain worth while things it to plan, w ork and sat e for them," says Margaret.

It is the belief that World War veterans shortly will demand a biggpr share out of the federal grab-bag and if they do they will stand a good chance of g etting it unless all federal expendi tures are drastically cut. The point is that the federal g o v ernm ent pays pensions to all vets of every war but the last one. Only d is abled World War veterans get pen sions. Now, with billions being dumped around and the bonus paid w ithout any permanently harmful effects yet evident, the World War veterans are beginning to discuss pensions. The fears were made clear by two recent sp eech es— one by General Frank T. H iens, Veterans A dminis trator, and th e other by J am es E. Van Zandt, National Commander of the Veterans o f Foreign Wars. Both warned World War veterans to for get pensions. What could happen is shocking. There were only 2 ,213,365 Civil War veterans, yet in 1935— 70 years a f ter the Civil War— veterans o ' that conflict, and their dependents, drew $ 63 .5 2 9 ,5 3 2 .7 2 , or an average of $1 .0 6 0.3 7 per year per pensioner. On the other hand, there were 1,761,071 World War veterans.
