You're From Lindale!
LINDALE, Ga.—The visitor to
Atlanta walks into a store and
planks down one or more silver
dollars to pay for his purchase.
• The clerk’s face lights up. “I
know where you’re from,” he says.
“You're from Lindale!”
And 99 times out of a hundred
the clerk is right. Lindale, a rela
tively small town, is 70-odd miles
from Atlanta.
Since the beginning it has been
the custom of Lindale's principal
industry, the plant of the Pepperell
Manufacturing Company, to pay off
in silver dollars.
Of course, the 50-year-old cotton
mill does not pay off entirely in
silver dollars. What with cotton
mill wages having doubled in the
last five years that would make too
heavy a load.
The worker is paid in “folding
money—fifties, twenties, tens, fives
—but no one dollar bills. Instead
of the one dollar bills, he gets sil
ver dollars, which aren’t too com
mon in these parts.
So when someone sees a silver
dollar, he knows that a Pepperell
employee likely put it into the
channels of trade.
Strickland Fund I
SetjUp by Bank
Establishment of The Robert
Strickland Agricultural Fund in
memory of the bank's late presi-1
dent and appropriation of $25,000
for the promotion of agriculture and
industrial progress in Georgia dur
ing 1947 were announced by the
Trust Company of Georgia.
“The fund will be used for re
search, educational, promotional
and public purposes in the develop
ment of agriculture and industries
related to farming,” John A. Sib
ley, chairman and president, point
ed out in making the announcement.
The $25,000 annual appropriation
marks the third time that the Trust
Company has set aside such a sum
for ayricultural development. Mr.
Strickland, who was president until
his death last year, set up the plan
which resulted in organization of
the Farm-Industry Department at
the Trust Company and similar de
partments at two of the bank’s af->
filiates, The First National Bank
and Trust Company in Macon and
The First National Bank, of Rome.
Cotton stored on the farm should
be protected from weather damage,
cotton specialists of the Georgia Ex
tension Service point out.

Questions and Answers
Q. Can a World War I widow get
a pension for an adopted baby? This
is a grandchild of the World War
1 veteran. He has been dead 18
months and his widow adopted their
grandchild and can she get a pen
sion for it too?—Widow, Dalton, Ga.
A. If the child is legally adopted,
such children come under the same
status as other dependent children
and, if the child is a minor, he
should be eligible for pension.
Q. My son was drafted in the
army January 25, 1944. He took out
an $18.75 war bond each month and
had them made out to me. I re
ceived them regularly up until De
cember, 1945, and haven’t received
one since. The boy is still in Japan.
I would like to know what to do
about it.—Mother, Livingston, Ky.
A. If the money is still being de
ducted from his pay for the pur
chase of the bonds, you should con
tinue to receive them. Since you
are not, write to the Central Field
fiscal office, U. S. army, Chief of
Finance, 4300 Goodfellow blvd., St.
Louis 2, Mo., giving your son’s full
name, serial number and where, if
you know, he authorized the money
to be deducted from his pay.
Q. I was discharged from the
WAVES on October 17, 1945. I had
quite a lot of dental work done dur-
February and March of 1946. Now
I have been told by an ex-soldier
that the government paid for his
dental work because he had it done
before he was discharged. My ques
tion is whether I am eligible for
this. I have been discharged for
over a year, but the work was done
and the bill paid by myself Just a
few months after I was discharged.
The dental work was necessary and
urgent as the x-rays will testify.—
Mrs. R. £. H., Melstone, Mont.
A. Veterans with service-connect
ed disabilities are eligible for free
dental work from Veterans’ admin
istration. Both the army and navy
provided dental care and treatment
for members of the armed forces.
However, if you obtained your den
tal work Hiier your discharge, I do
not believe you are eligible for re
imbursement by the government if
you have no service-connected dis
ability.
Q. 1 have a husband in Manila
and he said he would give me a
divorce. When I sent him the papers
he refused to sign them and he
hasn’t supported me since. Can I
get a divorce without sending him
the papers?—M. D. K., Adolphus,
Ky.
A. You should consult an attor
ney.
Q. I want to know if my husband
can get a divorce while in the army
and where can I get this informa
tion or the papers concerning this?
Mrs. J. L. H., St. Louis, Mo.
A. Your husband has the same
legal rights in the army as he has
as a civilian. Should such a case
be filed, you will be notified in the
manner prescribed by the law.
Q. I am writing in regard to my
terminal leave pay. I filed my ap
plication in or around August, 1946,
and as yet 1 have not received a
notice or check or my discharge
papers. Can you tell me if it has
been sent to me? 1 am a veteran of
World War II and served 2 years
and 18 days.—R. 8., Rochester, N. Y.
A. Generally speaking, terminal
leave checks or bonds are mailed
about 60 days after application. In
your case, suggest you write to the
same office to which you sent your
application and ask the reason for
the delay may be a normal one.
