EDITOR and OWNER
PUBLICITY AIDS CRIME FIGHT
(From the Waycross Journal-Herald)
If there is any doubt about the role of the newspapers
and other public information media in fighting crime, a
statement of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover should remove
it.
Praising the newspapers for their “great assistance”
to the FBI in 1954, Hoover said:
“One of the greatest problems facing law enforce
ment authorities is the fast-moving, far reaching criminal
fugitive; however, extensive coast to coast publicity has
proven its value by cornering the fleeing criminal.”
Hoover gave several illustrations. A convicted robber
who escaped from the Oklahoma State Penitentiary was
captured in California the day after his photograph ap
peared in a newspaper.
There were other cases, cited by the FBI chief, where
newspapers played an important role in the capture of
public enemies.
Several years ago, the FBI, in cooperation with the
Associated Press, inaugurated a “most wanted” list. Jest
ingly called “The FBl’s Hit Parade,” the list is given wide
publicity including pictures.
So well did the system work during the past year that
the “top ten” roster had to be revised repeatedly. No less
than 15 names were checked off the list duing the year
as a result of apprehensions.
Publicity, as FBI Director Hoover has pointed out, is
a weapon of law-enforcement as well as a crime deter
rent.
HEN VS. CODFISH
The codfish lays ten thousand eggs,
The homely hen lays one.
But the codfish never cackles
To tell you what she’s done.
And so we scorn the codfish,
While the humble hen we prize—
Which simply goes to show you
That it pays to advertise.
—Clipped.
DEADLINE DATES FOR KOREAN
VETERAN BENEFIT ARE GIVEN
Jan. 31, 1955,
Officially Set
As Conflict End
Veterans Administration has is
sued a checklist of deadline dates
before which eligible veterans
of the Korean conflict period
must act if they wish to take ad
vantage of certain benefits.
Most of the deadlines resulted
from the President's proclama
tion setting January 31, 1955 as
the end of the Korean conflict
period governing eligibility for
the benefits. The conflict period
began June 27, 1950.
One of the most important
deadlines not affected by the
President’s proclamation requires
that eligible veterans who wish
to go to school or train under the
Korean GI Bill must start train
ing within three years after they
leave service or forfeit all further
rights to the benefits.
This requirement is contained
in the law- itself and, therefore,
was not affected by the Presi
dent’s proclamation.
Those who start their education
or training within the required
three-year period must complete
their Korean GI Bill Training by
January 31, 1965, or eight years
a^ter discharge, whichever is
earlier.
For GI loans on homes, farms
or businesses, eligible veterans of
the Korean conflict period now
have until January 31, 1965 to
receive a VA guaranty or insur
ance as a result of the President’s
proclamation. No further guaran
ties or insurance may be issued
after that date on loans made
to veterans under the present
law.
For vocational rehabilitation
under Public Law 894, eligible
disabled veterans of the Korean
conflict period must start in time
to finish their rehabilitation by
January 31, 1964, or nine years
after separation, whichever is
earlier.
These termination dates apply
to all eligible veterans except
those in certain “hardship” cate
gories. For the latter, an addi
tional four years is granted by
law in which to complete their
rehabilitation.
For a $1,600 grant toward the
purchase of an automobile or oth
er conveyance, seriously disabled
veterans of the Korean conflict
who are eligible must apply for
the grant within three years af
ter they leave service or forfeit
the benefit.
For this benefit, the President’s
proclamation merely set January
31, 1955 as the end of the Korean
conflict period during which eli
gibility for the grant may be es
tablished. This means the injuries
covered by the law must be sus
tained in active service on or be
fore that date.
No application deadlines pre
vail for the other VA-administer
ed benefits affected by the Pre
sident’s proclamation. These bene
fits for eligible veterans of the
Korean conflict period on a war
time basis are:
Hospitalization and domiciliary
care for nonservice-connected
disabilities.
Compensation for service-con
nected disabilities or death at
wartime rates.
Pension for total and perman
ent nonservice-connected dis-
abilities or death.
Reimbursement of burial
penses and a flag to drape
casket.
The President’s proclamation
did not change the deadlines pre
viously established by Congres
sional action for certain benefits
available to eligible World War
II veterans.
These benefits and the appli
cable deadlines are:
World War II GI Bill educa
tion or training—For those now
in training no additional train
ing may be afforded after July
25, 1956, except for veterans who
may have additional training
time under the Armed Forces
Voluntary Recruitment Act of
1945.
Vocational Rehabilitation under
Public Law 16—In general, no
training based on World War II
service may be afforded beyond
July 25, 1956, except for certain
hardship cases who are granted
an additional four years in which
to train.
World War II GI Bill loans for
homes, farms or businesses — No
guaranty or insurance will be
available on loans made to eligi
ble World War II veterans after
July 25, 1957, except for those
who have established a later ter
minal date under the Armed
Forces Voluntary Recruitment
Act of 1945.
Heating Systems
Need a Check-Up
Spring, the time when home
heating systems become idle, is
the best time to ready those heat
ing systems for safe operation in
the Fall, says the National Board
of Fire Underwriters.
A qualified expert should be
called in to service and adjust
the heating plant, flues and
chimney, and inspect the whole
system for defects or w eak spots
which may need repairs.
If you are now using portable
heaters to bridge the gap bet
ween furnace heat and summer
heat, take these important safety
precautions:
1. Electric heaters. See that
they do not overload electrical
circuits.
2. Portable oil heaters. Keep
them level. Fill them outdoors.
Never fill or carry a lighted
heater. Provide adequate ventil
ation in rooms where they are
in use.
3. Gas heaters. See that they
are vented to the outdoors.
4. All heaters. Keep them clean
and in good repair. Place them
out of people’s way and away
from combustibles: drapes and
furniture, for example. Do not
let children play with, or too
near, them.
U.S. FOOD CONSUMPTION
Total food use of crops by
consumers has just kept pace
with the increase in U.S. popula
tion over the past 15 years, but
our use of livestock products for
food in 1954 was half again as
large as in 1935-39. Record or
near record rates of consumption
for beef, chicken, turkey, pro
cessed fruits and vegetables have
occurred in the past three years.
FLORIDA HOSTESS USES NEW
PROCESS IN FREEZING FOODS
Mrs. Baxter Says
Method Is Boon
To Freezer Owners
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla —
A leading Fort Lauderdale host
ess noted for the delectable food
served at her parties has discov
ered a revolutionary process for
preserving foods indefinitely.
Mrs. Maxwell Baxter, promin
ent in social and civic affairs of
south Florida since 1919, has de
cided to go into the business of
promoting a process which she
says may become a boon to every
household who owns a freezer.
For the past three years Mrs.
Baxter, who likes to have on
hand a variety of foods in the
event of unexpected guests, has
been experimenting with a theory
of her own after trying every
known method of preserving
frozen foods.
“I have been trying to over
come signs of deterioration which
sets in when food has been fro
zen for two or three months,’
says Mrs. Baxter.
“After that length of time
there’s loss of flavor, dehydra
tion and freezer burn. I decided
there must be some way to over
come these problems’’.
Although Mrs. Baxter’s theory
is extremely simple, it proved
effective only after three years
of trial and error. Its principle
lay in proper application. Secret
of the process itself is told in a
booklet just off the press and
can’t be divulged in this article.
“It’s a natural,” exclaimed a
friend of Mrs. Baxter’s recently,
when she heard how quick, easy
and inexpensive the procedure
is.
“I wonder why someone hasn’t
thought of it before,” remarked
the friend’s husband, whose
chief interest is the grocery bill.
He was particularly pleased
with the thought that choice
items for their family of small
children with large appetites
could be purchased at times when
lower prices are in effect and
served at a future date.
Taking advantage of food bar
gains at the time they’re offered
also eliminates frequent shopping
trips, as all housewives know.
At a recent dinner party, Mrs.
Baxter served a tender and juicy
kingfish which had been in the
freezer more than two years. It
was as fresh as the day it entered
the freezer. The guests, all of
whom had been present on the
fishing trip when the fish was
caught, were amazed.
Although Mrs. Baxter has many
interests, including active mem
bership in the Opera Guild, the
Symphony Society and the Or-
