A. ANNOUNCES 4NOTHER DIVIDEND The Veterans Administration, which was still mak- fing out 1953 dividend checks in December, announced a new dividend payment to. 5,000,000 veterans will begin in February. Despite the low cost of Govern- ment insurance, this agency has been accumulating large rplus sums and thus is able to pay sizeable annual di- vidends to millions of veterans, __ Most of the dividends amount to about $60, although ey often run higher. The 1954 dividend is the third one paid out to National Service Life Insurance D holders. The first was that of 1952, the second came in 1953 and the third begins in February. A large dend, covering all the years since the end of World War II, was paid out prior to 1952. Regular dividends are distributed by the Veterans tration throughout the year, the time of payment pending upon the original date the insurance policy into effect. The VA said recently dividends on nost of its policies were computed on a basis of 50 cents ‘or each $1,000 of insurance, per month. Thus the aver- $10,000 insurance policy, over a period of twelve nonths, would bring a dividend of approximately $60. It is estimated almost $200,000,000 will be paid out in dividends next year. Though the average American reluctant to see the Government in tHe private enter- prise field, most of the 5,000,000 veterans enjoying cheap overnment insurance and annual ‘dividends are solidly in favor of the Government insurance program. There ems little hope that private business will ever get the Government out of the veterans’ picture, and certainly his is one way the nation’s veterans can be remembered it no extra cost to the taxpayer. lic: i The Republican party, like the Democratic, has! oom for twe schools of thought; but some of the teach-! may need replacements. — ‘ .

She needed to think. And she'd always been able to think better when she was walking. She had gone farther than she had intended, had left the college behind and was at the very out- skirts of town when a car drove up beside her. A cushy model, long and low and shining, brand-new. Jane wond how Pauline Clark’s husband managed to get a new car when no one else had been able to get one. Pauline said: “Hello, there, Jane Whittier. Want a drive home?” “Maybe I could use it,” Jane “I started out for a walk but [m getting tired.” “Taki walk? What a quaint idea, dar ." Pauline gave an amused, sophisticated laugh. “Hop in.

That is, when’ I remem- ber to go I am.” He hopped out and he); Jane into the car. “Oh, Satta said, squeezing herself in between Ted and Pauline. Her hand went down to the heel of her shoe. “The darned thing’s come loose.” Jesus uses his authority, John 2:13-25 with the dames. It arouses their maternal instinct.

It seems that pro- gress is most often made by an individual or a group displaying a righteous indignation for human in- justices due to man’s greed and selfishness, Jesus really got mad when he saw the travesty of reli- gion as practiced in the temple. John Howard and his followers got mad when they saw the vile, dis- ease-ridden, hell-on-earth situation the filth and neglect of the horrible |hospitals of the day. Righteous an- ger generally leads to moral and spiritual reform. The luke-warmhess and indiffer- ence of the masses as they face the practices of the greedy and sel- fish accounts for much of the evil) and sin in the world, The most la-; mentable weakness of this genera- tion is no doubt in the luke-warm- ness of its love.
