Christmas day or Dec. 26, it was announced Monday. The tremors, described as extremely strong, caused no other damage in the city it- self.

'Adopted Child' Term Liberalized r Congress has liberalized the definition of an "adopted child" of a veteran eligible to receive benefits adminis tered by the Veterans admin istration, S. T. Brannock, con . tact representative, VA Domi- cialry, Camp White, said to day. If at the time of the veter an's death, the child was liv- ing in the veteran's house hold, and if the child is legal ly -, adopted by the veteran's surviving spouse within two years after the veteran's death, he or she is considered to be the veteran's adopted child, Brannock explained. Tnrmwlv. th adoDtiOn DIt- ceedings had to be completed before the veteran s aeatn ior th MiiM to be eligible for any of the benefits, including compensation, . pension, war orphans educational assist ance; dependency and indem nity compensation, and ac crued benefits. . If at the time of the veter an's t .sath, however, the child was receiving regular contri bution toward, its support from an individual other than the veteran or his spouse, or from any public or private welfare organization, then the child may not be recognized as the veteran's legally adopt ed child, Brannock explained.
