Annual Income
Questionnaires To Be
Filed By Veterans
Atlanla — The annual inc.ome ques
tionnaires which must be filed by
all war veterans and veteran's sur
vivors who are drawing pensions will
be mailed with the pension checks to
be received on or about December 1,
Georgia Veterans Service Director
Pete Wheeler reported this week.
The forms must be properly com
pleted and returned to the Veterans
Administration by January 31, 1963,
he said. Failure to comply with this
regulation will result in immediate
suspension of the pension.
Veterans drawing compensation bas
ed on service-connected disabilities
and survivors of veterans receiving
compensation based on service-con
nected deathes are not required to file
income questionnaires.
Anyone who desires assistance in
filling out an income questionnaire
should contact {he nearest office of
the Georgia Department of Veterans
Service. Since quali.ication {or a pen
sion is largely dependent upon the in
{ormation required by this .orm, it is
often desirable to secure ihe assis
‘tance of a traincd counselor in provid
‘ing the information. 3

}press our gratitude and thanks to our
‘neighbors and friends for the beauti-
Hul flowers, ithe lovely cards and each

WHY DOES THIS BREEZEWAY REAR WINDOW help sell so many Mercury Montereys? This is styling that
works! The recessed rear window stays clearer in rain or snow. It opens for controlled Flo-Thru ventilation. More
wind, tratfic noise and weather are shut out because the side win
dows can stay closed. The rear-window angle cuts glare, aids rear MERCURY
visibility. The extended Breezeway roof adds rear-seat headroom, §)
eha nassengers from the sun. See how practical elegance can be! MONTEREY
