New Vets Pension Law To Become Effective
The new pension law effec
tive next July 1 in no way
changes the basic eligibility
for a veteran seeking a pen
sion, S. T. Brannock, contact
representative, VA Domicili
ary, Camp White, said today.
The veteran still must be
totally and permanently dis
abled, not due to his own mis
conduct, from causes. not
traceable to his service, must
have had 90 days or more of
honorable wartime service,
and an income below prescrib
ed limits.
Extending the present in
come limits of $1,400 a year
for a single veteran and S2,700
a year for a veteran with wife
or child to $1,800 and $3,000
respectively, the new pension
law attempts to relate the
amount of pension to need,
Brannock said.
Receiving Pensions
Veterans with higher in
come will receive lower pen
sion payments and those with
smaller incomes will receive
larger pensions when the law
becomes effective.
But the basic eligibility re
quirements for veterans re
mains unchanged, Brannock
reiterated, in contrast to the
requirements for veterans'
widows and children.
Widows of World War II
and Korean conflict veterans
under the new law no longer
will be required to show that
the deceased veteran had a
service - connected disability.
Like widows of World War I
veterans, they will have to
show only that the veteran
had 90 days or more of honor
able wartime service. Widows
must also come within the in
come limitations, Brannock
stated. ; .

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Incidental information:
Our moon shot the other
day (which left our faces red)
is said to have failed because
a plastic cover ripped off the
payload the payload, pre
sumably, being the satellite
that was supposed to go orbit
ing around the moo.n.
Our space scientists report
that the cover ripped off 45
seconds after the launching.
THE moral:
LITTLE things are im
portant. THE importance .of little
things is dramatized by an
ancient maxim whose author
ship Is lost in the mists of an
tiquity. It goes like this:
"For lack of a nail, the shoe
was iost; for lack of a shoe,
the horse was lost; for lack of
a horse, the rider was lost."
In that form, it was used by
Benjamin Franklin in a pre
fix to his Poor Richard's Al
manac. In an older form, it is put
like this: "For lack of a nail,
the shoe was lost; for lack of
a shoe the horse was lost; for
lack of a horse the rider was
lost; for lack of the rider, a
KINGDOM was lost."
IN THAT form, it goes clear
back to England's War of the
Roses in which for 30 long and
bloody and terrible years Eng
land was torn by a dynastic
struggle between the House of
York, whose emblem was the
white rose, and the house of
Lancaster, whose emblem was
the red rose.
The War of the.Roses came
to its final end in the battle
of Bosworth Field, in which
Richard in, the last king of
the House of York, performed
prodigies of valor, but at the
critical moment of the battle,
when his presence was needed
everywhere, 'his horse was
killed by an arrow.
SHAKESPEARE, in his Rich
ard the Third, tells the
story thus:
King Richard: A horse! A
horse! My kingdom for a
horse.
C a t e s b y: Withdraw, my
lord; I'll help you to a horse.
King Richard: Slave! I have
set my life upon a cast.
And I will stand the hazard
of the die.
I think there be six Rich
monds in the field;
'Five have I slain today, in
stead of him
A horse! A horse! My king
dom for a horse.
AT THIS moment, the Earl
of Richmond, a supporter
of the House of Lancaster,
comes on the scene and they
fight and Richmond kills
Richard III -and that ends
the royal tenure of the House
of York.
It wasn't the lack of a nail
that finished Richard's horse.
But the chance flight of an
archer's arrow is a little thing
-like the ripping off of the
plastic cover of the payload of
a rocket fired at the moon.
So-
Watch the little things.

Drive-In Broken
Into Here Recently
Someone broke into Edith
and Henry's Drive-In, 1132
North Riverside ave., it was
discovered recently by city
police.
Henry Rudolph Byers, own
er of the building, said he had
not been in the building since
Nov. .20, so it could not be
determined at the present
time just when the building
was entered, police said.
The inside of the building
was disarranged, but it could
not be determined if anything
had been stolen,' Byers said.
Police said entry appeared to
have been made through the
rear window and exit was
made by the rear door.
