Fish served
frequently can
ease the budg
et and add zest to an otherwise
humdrum string of menus. In ad
dition to these reasons, homemak
ers appreciate the fact that fish is
tender and requires but short cook
ing time. Meal preparation time can
be cut considerably when fish ap

Many fish varieties are available
because they come fresh, canned
and fresh-frozen. When you investi

as the many seasonings that can

Sick Soils Can Be

Sick soils can be nursed back to
health by means of soil tests which
tell the farm er what plant foods and
management methods are needed
to restore run down fields to high
crop yields. In Missouri alone, 69
county soil clinics are diagnosing
soil ailments and prescribing treat

Q. I am a blinded Korean vet
eran, and I understand I am en
titled to a trained seeing-eye dog
to help me get about. The nearest
place to learn how to make use
of such a dog is 100 miles away.
W ill VA pay my travel expenses?
R.C.L., Clinton, Aid.
A. Yes. Travel expenses for such
a purpose may be paid both ways.
In addition, if you are required to
be away from home during the
period of adjustment to use of the
dog, VA also may pay for your
meals and lodging during that time.
Q. What is the largest amount
of money a veteran can borrow,
and have the loan guaranteed un
der the G l Bill? S.D.F., Darby,
N.C.
A. The size ot the loan depends
solely on the amount ot money the
lender is w illing to lend. The only
lim itation is on the amount of VA
guarantee.
Q. I plan to get a G l home
loan, and I'd like to find out what
would happen in case I fail Io
make my loan payments. I don’t
expect to default, of course, but I
do want Io learn all the aspects.
E.R.P., Fairfield, Alont.
A. Failure to make your loan I
payments may lead to foreclosure 1
and loss of your home. Also, if the
government is required to pay a
claim because of your failure to I
meet payments, you w ill become j
indebted to the government for the '
amount of any such claim.
Q. I'm a married veteran,
training under the G l hill, and
I've f u l l been rated at 60 per cent
disabled by VA. W ill VA pay me
both the extra amount of dis
ability compensation that goes to
those with dependents, plus the
higher rate of G l subsistence for
veterans with families? G.S.W.,
Decatur, Ga.
A. No. Instead, VA w ill pay you
either one of the extra amounts for
veterans with dependents — but not
both. You have the right to choose
whichever extra payment you wish
to receive.
