5 250 Burial
Expense To
Vets Family
Up to $250 for burial expens
s for eligible deceased veterans
/ill be paid by the Veterans
Administration if the claim is
filed within two years after the
veteran’s burial or cremation,
according to Elbert B. Ander
son, Contact Officer, Atlanta VA
Regional Office.
Burial claims may be filed
by the undertaker, if he has
not been paid, or by the party
who paid the undertaker, the
VA spokesman explained.
Mr. Anderson said the VA
would reimburse up to $250 in
expenses for the permanent bu
rial or cremation of any veter
an who was discharged under
conditions other than dishonor
able, if the veteran served dur
ing wartime or after August 4,
1964.
Mr. Anderson pointed out that
There’s only one way to find out
why a quarter-million Ford and
Chevy owners switched to Plymouth:
Drive it!
' ' ■ T .... . . ~ m You can see Plymouth’s good looks.
T —*r... ® You can feel Plymouth's comfort and
'2l— b luxury. But you've got to get behind
i . - . U the wheel to find out how really different
X * S cars can be. This one really handles.
\ ** The secret? Chrysler Corporation. Come
' on in and ,ake an unbeatable ,est drive.
J : Give Plymouth a real workout and see
f l ' for yourself. There’s no obligation —
' except to yourself. After all, a car’s a big
t investment. The Unbeatables want to
।।. J। v |H- UJ>s^^ make sure you know the score.
