Answer: If what your husband is giv- ing them. means opportunities to develop themselves and get self- confidence, it is probably worth a sacrifice on your part but this idea of parents’ loading them- selves down with debt to give children unnecessary luxuries is another thing altogether. Some people rake and scrape every cent they can find to let their children get accustomed to a way of life that they cannot afford to keep up. Then when they have to stop this giving be- cause they have to do with less.

A peacetime spy must be charged with the crime within three years after the act | touched by the law. However, it is true that his admission may ruin him for life. The Depart- ment of Justice is asking for a law-with more teeth in it. Clearly, the surface has only been scratched. The documents Chambers handed over represent- ed only one week’s catch. He had been receiving secret papers, for six years and held on to the last batch only to save his life. He told the Reds that if they killed him a friend would give the papers to the Government and put the syp ring in danger. He received secrets not only from the State Department, bu’ also from the Navy, the Army testing ground for new equipment and other Government agencies. He passed on thousands of secrets and he was connected with just oné spy ring. He knew of at least two other spy rings. Obviously the total of all spying must have been ‘tremendous and perhaps still is. It is believed there are many other former spies who have a change of heart but are afraid to give helpful information for fear of the consequences. Perhaps it would be to our adwantage .to give reformed spies a chance to tell their stories to the proper authorities in confidence and without danger of their being cast out by society. This could bring a wealth of information. , x wk * In Arkansas a 15-year-old wife was sued for divorce on the grounds that she acted so child- ish, x * It may be practical to heat highways to melt snow and ice. © Near Detroit there is a 500-foot stretch of hot highway which seems to be working all right at Corner QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON GUARANTEED LOANS | Questions often asked by erans concerning guaran! loans and other benefits are fgr- warded to the Veterans Admit istration. The VA’s authoritative replies are published in this col- umn by The Key West Citizen as a service to our veterans. Q: Will the Government de- duct money it paid on the guar- anteed portion of my loan or the payments made for schooling and subsistence allowancfe under the G-I Bill? A: No. Q: May a veteran, who is re- ceiving disability compensation, receive (at the same time) sub- sistence allowance under the G-I Bill? ae Bo? ER; Q: I am a World War II veter- an and I desire to purchase a car to go to the coast and get a job. Will Veterans Administration guarantee a loan for the pur- pose? A: No. VA will guarantee a loan for a car only when the ve- hicle is to be used for business purposes. Q: How can I show that my parents are dependent on me for support? A: Dependency will be held to exist if your parents do not have an income sufficient to provide reasonable maintenance for themselves and members of their family under legal age, or mem- bers of the family otherwise de- pendent by reason of mental or physical condition. Q: I cashed the compensation check that VA sent me. Does that mean that I am satisfied with | the rating given me? A: No. The fact that you cashed the check does not waive any rights you may have in} claiming greater compensation j or pension than that which was awarded you.
