(U.R) One of the strangest sights on the Uni versity of Buffalo campus is the contraption Richard W. Bigelow built to travel to and from school. The conveyance resulted from a boost in transit fares in the city. Bigelow figured there must be a cheaper way to get around. The 23 -year -old engineering student bought a used ice cream scooter, patched up its worn-out electrical system and built around it a bad-weather protec tion made of steel, aluminum, wood, canvas and equipped with safety glass for the windshield. Bigelow figures that the 20 cents worth of gasoline he buys every three days amounts to only a third of the transit fares he would have had to pay in a similar period.

Veterans claims were discussed and Interpreted, with Max Novak. Red Cross field director from the regional vete rans administration office, Port land presiding. Also present was Miss Catherine Little, regional home service consultant for the northwest area. The conference was attended by representatives from Jackson, Josephine, Douglas and Klamath counties, as well as volunteer so cial service aides from the local office. Novak said there are approxi mately 232.000 veterans In Ore gon, with some e.zoo in Jackson county. On a national basis only 80 per cent of these men have filed claims for any government benefit, he said, and the peak as sistance need for World War I veterans is anticipated in three or four years. As these men grow older, less able to find employ ment and become more subject to illness, applications to VA hos pitals and domiciliary centers in crease. The peak of assistance to World War II veterans is expect ed in 1975. Of the total veterans claims filed. 20 per cent have been handled by Red Cross, he said. GI Bill Expires Novak reminded that the GI educational benefit act will ex pire next year. It will be neces sary for veterans to have regis tered and to have been working in school before July 20, 1951, in order to continue education. On the other hand, rehabilitation training will not expire on this date: however training or re training under rehabilitation re quires an adjudged disability of 10 per cent or more. Novak said. The regular GI educational act requires no degree of disability. I two other Hems were reporl ; ed by Novak. They were the fact that time has been extended dur ing which former prisoners of war may report personal or prop erty losses under the war claims act, and eligibility time for ter minal leave pav has been extend ed to June' 30, 1951. The local Red Cross office has necessary forms for application on both these items, it was reported. All VA hospitals had an 84 per cent occupancy in 1949. No vak said a rate far in excess of army, navy or other public hos- Kitals. and he said the veterans ospitalizatlon need is still grow ing. He said that In these hos pitals, top-ranking specialists as sist in diagnosis and treatment of illness. 1 I (Arm Ttltptuff) BUSSES BOY FRIEND Cnm,el swimmer Shirley May France, 17, Somerset, Mfc-is., gives her boy Inend.
