The Vet erans administration is liter ally swamped these days with requests of all kinds oy man and ntherwise. - "Help the VA to Help You!", is the plea mai nas been ssfct out. And this re port will give some of the reasons and a tew 01 me i rwers. . "There are three main ways of helpmfi" it is stated. Num ber one, when a veteran writ es to V A. Number to, when a veteran visits a VA office, wiri nnmher three, when a etarsn apalies te the VA for nirrvn rArticular Deneiii. Accordini to a recent es timate, approximately 100 million .letters a year arrive at VA mail rooms. Most of those letters have to be an swered and all have to be tamiiei hv t ost etfk eto jfertment.

Tell the VA immediate ly as soon as you discover the loss. "Suppose you change your address. Tell your local post office and the VA right away, giving both old and new ad dress. "It's possible also for a vet eran to get a check for the wrong amount. If so, tell the VA right away. Do not cash an Incorrect VA check. By telling the VA, you avoid , having to repay extra money to which you are not enlt tied' If you have to write to VA about a benefit or some other problem, do not write to VA's national headquarters in Washington. Ninety -nine times out of a hundred, its the long way round. "Letters sent to Washlng- ' ton headquarters have to be sent back to the regional of fice where your individual records are kept. So for most everything, except GI insur ance, write to your VA reg ional office." If the matter is a GI insur ance problem, the letter should be sent to the VA dis trict office where regular premium payments are sent. The new pension law. which goes into effect July 1, Is creating a considerable amount of confusion. The heavy burden naturally falls on the central office in Wash ington, and this is one reason why this "decentralization" of business is in progress. Every effort is being made at the present time to effect an easy transition to the new pension program. Most of the veterans at this domiciliary have elected to remain under the old law, as an option pro vided In the new statute. However, tjje management at White City Tclt called upon to hold a mass meeting in the theater recently in order to check the spread of unfund ed rumors about the effects of the ner law. OThe meeting tras addressed by Assistant Manager Banks I. Paul, DksMfcllitry Officer Glenn, ami Contact Officer S. T. Benacck, who gave a full report cm tK new law as it applies in matters 91 in come and deductions. The Veterans administra tion information service with headquarters in Seattle finds it important enough to re mini veterans to take proper eare ! til air military dis charge. "Bare it recorded at your eetrnty eeurtheuse; have cer tified copies made, or photo stats; then be sure to keep the original discharge in a safe place," an announcement states.
