WHAT THE V.T.W. MEANS
THE OVERSEAS VeTEStAN
4s a Veteran...
The V.F.W. is always on guard against any effort
to destroy your established legal rights as an honor¬
ably discharged veteran.
These rights include your entitlement—under cer¬
tain conditions—to care and treatment in government
hospitals, disability compensation or pensions, govern¬
ment insurance, buriai allowance, pensions for depend¬
ents, preference credits for civil service employment,
etc. Founded in 1899, long before other major vet¬
eran organizations were formed after World War I,
the V.F.W. was demanding fair treatment for the na¬
tion’s disabled and needy veterans. Thus was torn the
basic pattern of the “G.I. Bill of Rights.”
By becoming a member of the V.F.W. you lieln
keep the organization strong enough to protect- not
only the nation’s disabled veterans and the widows and
orphans—but also those rights which are vital to your
own security.
Veterans are Good Citizens! Be a V.F.W. A'ember
and be a Better Citizen! Join the V.f.'.V. Now!

is thsir pride and joy, but
sometimes his almost worship¬
ful confidence in his teacher is
irritating, for often her remark
or act, as told by him, is com¬
monplace and quite lacking in
originality.
Occasionally, when Mrs.

contrary to what Johnny thinks
is right, lie will declare, “But

“Teacher is, of course, always

self. I taught him to recognize
his family and his relatives, to
share his toys. I am the one
who reads to him, sings to him,
soothes him when lie is upset,
dries his tears, and ties up his

Mrs. Thompson had never be¬
fore realized that she wanted
any credit for bringing up a
nice child. Now, however, not
only every day, when another

praise and admiration that the
mother felt, belonged to her,
the “grcen-ej’cd monster” would
nod and whisper to her. Yet, as
is so often the ease, there was
no foundation for anything he

another child, when away from
home often spoke of “My moth¬

Teacher is told, too, "My moth¬
er took me to the zoo!” or “My
raommie reads to me at night!”
Johnny knows his mother is
good to him. He loves her very
much. If the teacher’s suggest¬

attention than hers do, could

ieistn and more praise attached
to what the teaeher says to her
pupils? It so, it is a challenge
to the mother.
Among themselves boys and
girls will often repeat their
mothers’ injunctions, with fierce
loyalty and pride for what “My
mothpr sas.” The teacher also
hears this and admires the
valient stand they take.
Sometimes, because she dis¬
agrees with what his mother
lias decreed, Johnny’s "dear
teaeher” drops down In his es¬
timation for the time beit*-
Perhaps his mother had said,
"I want you to keep that sweat¬
er on!” However, the room
that Johnny is in may be very
much overheated. His mother,
not being there, does not know
this. The teaeher should then
explain thp sitlation to her, and
<f te moter is wisp she will te!U
Johnny always to do whatever
his teacher thinks best regard¬
ing his sweater.
Teacher does receive a lot ot
admiration, affection and re¬
spect from young children. For
the sake of her relationship
with the children and the
parents, she should allow her¬
self to be human. While she
must say always what she
thinks is true, if she uses her
sense of humor, letting the
children know that this time
it is a joke, she will avert any
possibly tense situation. What
Teacher does, of course, must
agree with what she says.
Johnny’ faith in his idol can
bekept and still peace in the
family can be maintained, if
home differences regarding
small matters are explained
and are ended with: “I know
Teacher is your friend, and she
is good. This time Daddy and
I want you to do as I have said.’
But one should be sure to
have Any disagreement on the
part of the teacher and the
parent straightened out by
frank talk between the two.

“Who do you
think is going to
win the World
Series?” That
seems to be the
most popular
question in the
country this week. No matter what
answer anyone gives, it’s still just
a guess. Since everyone else seems
to be playing this guessing game,
I might as well join In.
This should be our year! We’ve
got a terrific chance to win our
first World Series. I think the Series
will be a carbon copy of last year’s
thriller, with one exception—we’ll
be on the gravy end this time.
We've got the hitting power to do
it. Look down both line-ups and
you’ll see that the Dodgers have
more fellows who can hit tiie ball
out of the park. Both clubs are fast
and alert on defense, and we should

than most folks give us credit for,
but those Yankees have the old
