BUREAU
Editor’s Note; This newspaper,
through special arrangement with the
Washington Bureau of Western Newspa
per Union at 1616 Eye Street N. W.,
Washington, D. C., is able to bring read
ers this weekly column on problems of
the veteran and serviceman and his fam
ily. Questions may be addressed to the
above Bureau and they will he anstvered
in a subsequent column. No replies can
be ntatle direct by mail, hut only in the
column which will appear in this news
paper regularly.
Authorized Appraisers
Because a large majority of real
estate appraisers selected by
banks and other lenders were
amendable to pressure and “oblig
ing” insofar as the real estate oper
ators were concerned in turning in
high appraisals, Veterans’ adminis
tration announces that after Janu
ary 2, it will select its own ap
praisers of real property in an ef
fort to protect veterans against
over-priced properties in the cur
rent high market.
Under the revised procedure, VA
will designate by name the person
to appraise each piece of property
offered for sale to veterans under
the guaranty loan provision of the
G.I. bill. For the past 15 months,
the lender was permitted to select
any appraiser he desired from a
panel of local appraisers whose gen
eral qualifications had been re
viewed and approved by VA.
As a result of this practice, VA
believes tendency on the part of
some lenders to use exclusively the
services of certain “obliging” ap
praisers, who were most amenable
to turning in a high appraisal where
necessary to meet the asking price,
will be eliminated.
The original system was inaugu
rated to speed up appraisals and,
while it has done so, VA now be
lieves the system has proved sus
ceptible to abuses which more than
offset the advantages it was de
signed to achieve.
Questions and Answers
Q. Due to a doctor’s order for
special nurses, I was called on the
case of a veteran who was critical
ly ill. At the time I was told that
the government had made pro
visions and that I would be paid.
After completion of the case, I was
told that I may not get paid. That
has been six months ago, and I
still have not received a definite
answer. Will you please inform me
as to whether such provisions are
made or where I can find out?—
A. C. 8., R.N., ex-army nurse, Pon
tiac, Mich.
A. From the information you give,
I would be inclined to say that it
would be up to the veteran you
served or the doctor to get your
money. Veterans’ administration,
generally speaking, has its own
nurses, and is only responsible for
payment to its own nurses and to
those private nurses where they are
called in on contract. If your con
tract was not with Veterans’ ad
ministration, it is not responsible.
Q. My husband had reenlisted in
the regular army for three years
in January, 1946. On October 16 he
was discharged with a disability
discharge. We are now living with
In-laws and he is unable to do heavy
work. We have one boy in school
and a baby two and one-half months
old. We are afraid to rent a place
and get a Job for fear my husband
will get sick and have to enter a
hospital, leaving his family alone
without any income. Should my hus
band get a pension from the govern
ment? If so, where can I write
about it?—Mrs. E. D., Stamford,
Neb,
A. If your husband still has the
disability for which he was dis
charged, he is entitled to apply to
Veterans’ administration for a dis
ability rating. There is a VA center
at Lincoln and a sub-regional VA
office at Omaha. Suggest you write
to either of these VA offices.
Q. I have lost my discharge pa
pers and have been unable to find
them. I want to know where to
write to get a copy or a duplicate.
Can you tell me? J. E. H., Camp
Taylor, Ky.
A. Write to the St. Louis Army
Center, Office of the Adjutant Gen
eral, 4300 Goodfellow blvd., St.
Louis 2, Mo. Include your full name
and serial number and they will
send you a certificate in lieu of
your discharge paper.
Q. My husband reenlisted in the
army for three more years. I won
der if he could get a government
loan of SI,OOO to buy a nice little
country home while he is still in the
service? Mrs. M. B. E., Char
lottesville, Va.
A. No, not under the G.I. bill,
which applies to veterans only, and
that means men or women who
have received an honorable dis
charge from the armed services.
Q. If a serviceman is drawing a
pension on account of malaria at
tacks, how long will he continue to
receive his pension check?—Mrs. A.
C. E., Westby, Wis.
A. That depends entirely upon his
degree of disability. If his condition
should improve or if he should en
tirely recover, Veterans’ adminis
tration likely would reduce or even
dispense with his pension checks.
On the other hand, if his condition
should get worse, a new disability
rating might increase his pension.
It depends upon hla degree of dis
ability.

HOME JOURNAL Perr
Cook Potatoes
In Their Skins
By ANNIE C. NEWTON
Home Demonstration Agent
Houston County homemakers who
cook sweet potatoes in the kettle or
oven without peeling save valuable
vitamins and time, Miss Annie New
ton, home demonstration agent, ,
declared this week.
“Cooking sweet potatoes before
peeling helps to reduce the loss of
vitamins A and C,” Miss Newton
pointed out, recommending that
sweet potatoes bo boiled or baked
in their skins
Tests in Georgia and North Coro
lina showed that sweet potatoes
boiled or baked in their skins held
their naturally rich contents of
carotene (for vitamin A) and vita
min C very well, the home demon
stration agent reported.
In tests in Louisiana, different
continued. Those cooks in their
varieties were boiled or baked, she
skins retained from 69 to 83 per
cent of their vitamin C, while those
peeled and then boiled lost most of
the vitamins.
“Many homemakers add a small
amount of sugar to the boiling
water to give the sweet potatoes a
sweeter flavor,” Miss Newton said.
“This practice helps to preserve the
vitamin C and should be followed
when the family sugar supply will
allow it.”
HERE’S HOW
Q. Is freezing of foods a more
important method of food preserva
tion than canning?
A. Both methods are very im
portant. Freezing is a newer method
i to be practiced commercially and in
the home, but is not yet available
to all families.
Q. What are the best lawn grass
es for Georga conditions?
A. Bermuda is our best lawn
grass. Other grasses may be used in
Watch and Jewelry Repairs
given prompt attention. Our repair departments
are now back to normal and all types of Jewelry
and engraving can be handled at once. For re

limited sections of the State —blue-
grass in north Georgia; carpet grass
in some parts of the Coastal Plain
and St. Augustine grass in the coast
counties.
Q. Can I grow shrubs from cutt
ings?
A. Many shrubs can be grown
from cuttings. Ripe, new wood
usually is best. Make, cuttings nine
or ten inches long, cut off the loaves
, and leave only one or two buds at
the top. Make clean cuts, set the
cuttings deep, partly shaded. Leave
them alone until they start growng.
When well rooted, they may be
transplanted to the nursery or to
their permanent place. Sot plants in
good soil. A mulch of straw or
leaves around the plants will hold
moisture and shade the in
addition to adding organic matter
to the soil.
Balanced Diet
Q. My pullets, started last March,
are slow to begin laying. What can
I do to increase egg production?
A. Pullets may not be getting
in flock management is not getting
enough balanced feed. Number one
mistake made by most poultrymen
enough feed into the birds. Pullets
fed almost enough feed will be a
little slow in starting to lay, will
not reach high production and will
slow down after laying a short time.
In addition to laying mash and
grain, pullets also need an abund
ance of clean fresh water, oyster
shell or a good source of lime, ten
der green grazing of bright cured
hay and good shelter.
Q. How can I determine the best
grain feed for my chickens?
A. It is advisable to feed a mix
ture of two or more grains, if avail
able, along with mash containing
necessary proteins, vitamins and
minerals. If only one grain is fed,
oats or superior corn or wheat.
Chickens fed lots of oats usually
grow off faster and feather better
. than chicks not receiving oats.
