Mason, Manistee, Lake Building Trade Council at Manistee Elks Temple, at 8 p.m. Ask Your Red Cross Q. I have a widow's pension from the Veterans Administration. I received in the mail a punched card asking about my income this year and expected income next year. My income has 'not changed from that I have already reported the past several years.

Do I need to return this card? A. Yes. It is necessary that the income questionnaire be filled out and returned each year so that your payments may be continued without interruption. Q. Will the VA issue any type of insurance to men entering the service now? A.

No. However, unless a serviceman submits in writing his refusal to be insured, he is automatically covered under the Servicemen's Group Life Insurance program. Q. A veteran desires to name his wife as beneficiary of his National Service Life Insurance policy to be paid over a period of 120 months. Can he include in his beneficiary designation a provision that the monthly payments to his wife be terminated if she remarries, and the remainder of the policy proceeds be paid to a contingent beneficiary? A.

No. If the wife is named as beneficiary, the 120 monthly installments will be paid to her upon his death. The Veterans Administration will not discontinue payments in cases where the beneficiary marries again. Q. Is a veteran penalized if he pays for a GI home mortgage before it is due? A.

No. A GI loan may be prepaid without penalty at any time. Pre-payments may be made in the amount of the monthly installment or $100, whichever is lesser, or in any larger amount. Q. I took an aptitude test recently and was told that I would make a good key punch operator.

What is this? A. An employee operates an alphabetic key punch machine to transfer preceded information to punch cards; uses skip bars and column cut-outs to control skipping, spacing, duplication and ejecting of cards; uses a verifier to ascertain the accura- icy of punched cards; operates a reproducer, interpreter, sorter or statistical data; may code material; compiles tables and periodic and special reports; files cards and performs related clerical duties. Q. I expect to graduate from i college next spring and go into service for at least three years. (Throughout college I have received a monthly check from the Veterans Administration under the War Orphans Assistance Act.

When I complete my military service will I again be eligible for VA education assistance as a veteran? A. Not under existing law. If you were a full time student in college and received a War Orphans Educational Assistance allowance for 36 months, you will not be entitled to further educational benefits as a veteran. The maximum entitlement of any person to Federal assistance for full time education is 36 months. Any additional education for which the person would receive an allowance from the U.S.

Government would constitute duplication of benefits which is prohibited. THE CLOTWES Attire for Women Phyllis Carlson Betty Lunde Roussin Funeral Notices ROCK, MRS. ROBERT R. 711 N. Washington Ave.
