Georgia’s U. S. Sen. Herman E.
Talmadge, beginning his third 6-
year term in the Senate, is hope
ful that the two branches of gov- :
ernment “will work jointly to- ■
gether” in seking solutions to the ■
many problems still confronting
the nation. Said he:
“It is far too early to make any I
concrete predictions of just what I
j course the United States govern-|
ment will take in the months a- '
i i <
। head in dealing with the many ।
! complicated domestic and foreign ;,
’ problems that are still very muchi.
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE. ALAMO. WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA
I with us.
11 “But at this point we can and
jdo hope that the days to come
will bring renewed strength and
unity to the people of our great
nation. It appears that Mr. Nixon i
has selected an able Cabinet, and
.he has demonstrated concern
, 1 about the extremely critical social I
I and economic problems that con- [
front the United States, as well [
■ las the desire to press for an hon-1
, orable settlement to the war in
J Vietnam at the earliest possible
moment.
j “Many of these problems, in ।
i fact most of them, cross party i
| lines and, in my judgment, most I
| members of Congress and public
[servants will put the country’s
[welfare above party and not re-
Jsort to partisan politics on worth
while programs that affect the
economic stability of our nation
and the well-being of all our peo-|
pie.
“I certainly hope this will be
the case and that sectional, polit
ical, and racial unity can be re
stored throughout all the United
States in the common pursuit of
solutions to the nation’s prob
lems.”
Where should this restoration |
program begin? Sen. Talmadge
has his own ideas about that.
“It is my feeling,” he said, “that
our greatest needs lie in the areas
of education and job training. We
| must have less talk about guar- ।
lanteeing this and giving that, and
[more emphasis on schooling and ।
* training and creation of more and -
better jobs.
“This is the way to bring about j
real solutions to unemployment, .
poor housing and hard-core pov- (
erty, and not through giveaway ]
programs that stifle personal in- j
itiative and treat symptoms but ,
not causes. ,
“Every possible effort must be ।
made to find the ways and means ,
for expanding opportunities in
education and job training that .
will better enable people to get ,
a good job at a decent wage,
whether they live in the crowded
city or in a rural area.”
The Georgia junior senator
summed up his thinking with
; these words:
“It is my hope that the newj;
administration and the Congress
i will work jointly together to ;
| achieve peace with honor in
Asia, unity and domestic tran
quility at home, that we will
tighten our belts, reduce unnec
essary spending, stop the infla-l
itionary spiral and restore the in-j
tegrity of the dollar.
“If the Congress and the chief I
executive can do that, the people!'
of this country will say well
done.”

The Veterans
Corner
EDITOR'S NOTE: Below are
I authoritative answers by the Vet
! erans Administration to some of
[the many current questions from
former servicemen and their fam
i ilies. Further information on vet
: erans benefits may be obtained at
any VA office.
Q—My husband, a World War
II veteran, died in 1958. We did
not have any children. My ap
plication for a -widow’s pension
was denied at that time because
I had only been married for three
years to my husband. I am now
unable to work because of a dis
[ ability? Will this be a consider
ation if I should reapply for a
pension?
I A—ln itself your disability
! would not be a consideration.
[ However, a law passed in 1967
; liberalized the five-year marriage
I requirement in effect at the time
of your husband’s death. Now a
i widow needs to have been mar
ried to the veteran only one year
j before his death to meet this pen
sion eligibility requirement. For
■ information and assistance in re
applying for a pension, contact
your nearest VA regional office.
Q —l am receiving a pension
for my nonservice-connected dis
abilities. When is the deadline
for returning my income ques
tionnaire from the Veterans Ad
ministration?
A—The deadline is Jan. 15,
1969.
Q —What is the limit on the
amount of a guaranteed home
loan a veteran can obtain from
a lending institution, and what
is the maximum length of time
allowed to repay this type of
loan?
A—The VA has no limit on the
amount which may be borrowed
with a guaranteed loan. However,
there is a limitation on the
amount of the VA guaranty to
the lender. The guaranty cannot
be more than 60 per cent of the
loan and in no event can it ex
ceed $12,500. GI home loan mort
gages may run up to 30 years.
Ink stains in washable clothing
will come out if the area is
soaked in sour milk or butter
milk, then laundered as usual,
according to home economists
with the University of Georgia
Cooperative Extension Service.
Sanitation is everybody’s busi
ness. University of Georgia Ex
tension Service home economists
point out that clean homes and
clean communities do not attract
pests. Good sanitation will mean
better health for you.
