iNew Veterans Have
Free VA Dental Care
I
Veterans being discharged from
military service are now entitled
to receive VA dental care without
having to furnish proof of their
condition being connected with
military service. State Veterans
Service Director Pete Wheeler
announced today.
The eligible ex-service men and
'women have only 6 months fol
[ lowing discharge in which to ap
' ply for the one-time complete
care without showing proof by
military records.
Veterans who can prove by
1 their records that their dental
! condition originated or was ag
gravated during military service
have up to one year after release
from service to apply for the
treatment.
The treatment is granted for a
one-time basis only and not for
any continuing periods.
Mr. Wheeler said the care can
be given at any one of three VA
dental clinics in Georgia, located
in Atlanta, Augusta and Dublin.
Veterans may have their private
dentists perform the treatment
but only w’ith prior VA approval
The only eligibility require
ments for receiving VA dental
care are that a veteran serve on
active duty for six months or
longer, be discharged under hon
orable conditions and file for
treatment within the allotted time
period.
Information and assistance on
veterans' benefits are available
from the nearest field office of the
Georgia Department of Veterans
Service located at Mcßae. Its
manager is H. B Barnes, Jr.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Below are
[authoritative answers by the Vet
lernas Administration to some of
j the many current questions from
i former servicemen and their fam
lilies. Further information on vet
[erans benefits may be obtained
at any VA office.
Q —When I get out of service
I I'll still have to finish high school.
I Would it be smart for me not to
use my G. I. Bill education and
training entitlement while com
pleting high school so that I can
have all of it available for col
lege?
A—There is no need to “save”
your entitlement for college. Last
year Congress passed a law per
mitting veterans to receive an
educational assistance allowance ;
($l3O a month for a single veter
:an in full-time training) from the
Veterans Administration while
completing high school. This al
lowance will not be charged
< against your full entitlement to
college level training under the
,G. I. Bill.
i Q —Can I buy a particular
FRIDAY, JANUARY 10. 1969
' house I vzould like under the G.
■ ‘ I. loan program even though the
. seller insists on getting more than
the VA appraisal price?
1 ; A—Yes, you may, provided that
[you are willing to pay in cash
■ the difference between the
• amount on the Veterans Admin
istration Certificate of Appraisal
and the actual selling price of
• the house.
Q—l would like very much to
: serve as a volunteer in a VA hos
' pital but my free time is limited
[to a couple of hours during the
middle of the day. Is there a need
; for volunteer help during these
odd hours?
A—There certainly is. The Vet
erans Administration Voluntary-
Service can use help just about
any hour of the day, any day of
the week, generally between 9:00
la.m. and 9:00 p.m. There are all
kinds of jobs to be done. Check
: with your local VA hospital. Your
i interest and assistance will be
most appreciated.

Salmonella
By Rebecca M. Walker
Salmonella is a dangerous food
i poisoning bacteria which is caus
ing some Georgia families stress
This bacteria may be found in
! a wide variety of foods such as
raw poultry, meats, eggs, and
। dairy products. Food may become
’contaminated during production.
I handling, or storage.
Homemakers can protect their
i families from Salmonella infec
ition by:
1. Washing raw foods carefully
[ and thoroughly.
2. Washing hands thoroughly
; after handling raw foods to les
[sen the possibility of cross-con
! lamination.
3. Carefully following the direc
tions on packages of quick-frozen
foods. Thorough cooking will kill
| Salmonella bacteria.
4. Refrigerating leftovers
promptly and preferably heating
thoroughly before serving them
Freshly cooked foods rarely’ cause
illness.
5. Refrigerating all dairy prod
; ucts. including mixtures made
! from a dry base.
6. Keeping perishable foods
; chilled when they are carried on
a trip or picnic. Foods which tend
to spoil or deteriorate without re
frigeration should not be exposed
to warmer temperatures for more
than a half-hour before eating.
