Leader in 4-H Club work in Mar

of Salem. Margaret hat won dis
tinction in tew ing, canning, bak

carrying on her club activities
this ambitious young lady has
maintained a perfect scholastic
record in high school. 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.
Margaret, like thousands of other energetic, far-sighted
girls and boys is making sure of success in life by starting
young to practise sensible thrift. Her program centers in
a savings account here at the U. S. National. Have you a
savings account? Why not start one — with as little ss l
if you wish. When your balance amounts to S5 it beg-'is

An insidious
but very tangible
tear is w orking its way into a lot of
Washington minds. 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. Last
year, with pensions going only to
disabled, they drew $ 2 1 9 ,8 51 ,12 8 .6 3
If they got the sam e average
$ 1 ,06 0 .3 7 pension, the total federal
