At the front there is the deep flagstone terrace and at the side, a rear porch opening off the kitchen. A center hall plan makes the bedroom wing private and keeps the formal living room free of unnecessary traffic. Living area is 1,350 square feet.

More than any other device, it has helped to break the monotony of rural life," said Charles F. Kettering. That was the great automotive engineer who released the motorist from the bondage of cranking an engine into motion; he invented an electric selfstarter.

Emancipation of the farmer via horseless carriages 1 began decades before the advent of the "gas buggy." Its coming accelerated by the steam engine that could and did pump the farmer's water, saw his wood, thresh his grain, churn his butter, turn his wife's washing machine. Originally simply a stationary boiler with wheels upon which to pull it with a team of horses or mules from work to work, the farm engine was eventu- Hal Boyle By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)- Things a columnist might never know if he didn't open his mail: Snails are becoming more popular as house pets. although they have up to 80,000 teeth, they rarely bite.

FOR BEST RESULTS SHOP THE WANT ADS Area Social Security Office Has Definitin For "Spell Of Illness" By John A. Henderson, District Manager. A of as used in this program, does not refer to any particular illness you may have nor does it refer to a extendel single stay in a hospital Your or care facility. first "spell of illness" begins on the first day after June 30, 1966, that you receive covered hospital or extended care services.

It ends when you have not been in any hospital or extepded care facility for 60 consecutive days. Then a new "snell of illness" can begin the next time you receive covered hospital or extended care services. How Benefits Apply Within each "spell of illness" you can 'use up to the full 90 days of hospital benefits and the Veterans Ask About Hospital Care, Loans And Grave Markers ED. NOTE: Veterans and their families continue to ask thousands of questions concerning the benefits their ment provides for them through the Veterans Administration. Herewith are a few more representative inquiries.

Persons in this area requiring further information should contact the regional office of the VA at 14- 05 West Broadway, Louisville, either in person or by letter or telephone. I have been told that I am not eligible for out-patient treatment at a VA hospital for my nonservice-connected disability because my military service was in a so-called peacetime period and was not considered wartime service. Is this correct? If you were separated with other than a dishonorable discharge anytime after Jan. 31, 1955, you are eligible for all medical, hospital and domiciliary benefits to which veterans with war service are entitled, and on the same priority with war-time veterans. My son enlisted in the Air Force in 1955.

Shortly after he was in, they did away with the G. I. Bill. When he was discharged after four years he decided to go to college and, with our help and working himself, he was graduated in 1965. It was a struggle.

Now the G.I. Bill is What he would like to know is can he get a loan the bill to start him in business? Two or three thousand dollars would help him a great deal. A Loans may be made only for the purchase of homes; to make alterations, repairs or improvements in homes already owned and occupied; to purchase farms or farm supplies or equipment; to obtain farm working capital, or to refinance delinquent indebtedness on property to be used or occupied by the veteran as a home or for farming purposes. The post-Korean G.I. Bill does not authorize business loans.

Several people have told me that my husband, a World War I veteran now deceased, is entitled to a marker on his grave site stating he was a veteran. Could you give me any information on this matter? A Headstones or grave markers are available for any deceased veteran of wartime or peacetime service whose last period of service was terminated honorably by death or discharge. If you desire a headstone or grave marker, you may contact the nearest VA office, which will provide an application and assistance in filing. If you mean a marker in which the service organizations place flags on Memorial and Veterans Day, contact the service organization to which your hus-. band belonged.

full 100 days of extended care benefits. Also, you only pay the $40 deductible once in each "spell of illness" the first time you use covered hospital services. You would not have to pay it again in that "spell of illness" even if you had to go to the hospital more than once. Remember too, that your benefit days may be used for more than one illness or more than one stay in a hospital or extended care facility. But, if you need to use more than this number of days in any "spell of illness," hospital insurance cannot pay for the extra days.

Most people will not have to bother about trying to keep the details of this rule in mind. Usually, if you enter a hospital or extended care ficility, you will not stay long enough to use all of your benefits. When you use hospital or extended care benefits, the Social Security Administration will keep track of your "spell of illness" for you and give you information on how many "benefit" days you have left. Just remember that anytime you have not been in a hospital or extended care facility for 60 days in a row, a new "spell of illness' can start and you are again entitled to 90 days of hospital services and 100 days of extended care services--and, of course, a new $40 deductible also applies. Example of "Spell" Mr.

S. was in the hospital for 15 days and paid his $40 deductible since this was his first hospital stay for that "spell of illness." He then went home, but had to go back 40 days later. Since he was not out of the hospital for a least 60 days, he was still in the same "spell of illness." So payment could be made for a maimum of 75 more days of hospital care. But he would not have to pay the $40 deductible again, because he had already paid it in that "spell of illness." On the other hand, if, after his 15-day stay, Mr. S.

stayed at home and did not return to the hospital until several months later, he would be in a new "spell of illness" for this second trip to the hospital, since he had been out of the hospital for at least 60 days. Therefore, he would again be eligible for up to 90 days of hospital care, but he would have to pay a new 140 deductible because he is in a new "spell of illness."
