new law affects
VA compensation
A recent law limits the
amount the Veterans Adminis-
tration may withhold from dis-
ability compensation checks of
veterans to recoup their mil-
itary disability severance pay,
said S.W. Melidosian, director,
Philadelphia, VA Center.
The military service makes
lump-sum payments to per-
manently disabled veterans
with less than eight years of
service, and whose disabilities
are rated less than 30 percent by
the VA.
These veterans, by law, were
barred from receiving disabil-
ity compensation checks from
the VA until the entire amount
of this severance pay has been
repaid.
Under the new law, PL 91-241,
the amount which may be re-
couped by the VA from the ve-
teran’s initial disability rating.
Disability compensation to
veterans is based on a VA rating
scale which runs from 10 to 100
percent, depending on the ve-
teran’s degree of disability.
Under the new law, the veter-
an would receive compensation
equal to the difference between
the higher disability rating and
his lower, initial rating. When
the full amount of his military
disability severance pay has
been recouped, the veteran then
would receive the full amount of
his disability compensation, as
determined by VA’s higher dis-
ability rating.
In cases where a veteran’s
disability becomes more severe
and he is reexmined and given a
higher rating, he is entitled to
higher compensation from the
VA.

““Croaky’’ thrills
fresh air kids
A children’s story with the un-
likely title ‘“Croaky the Bull
Frog’ proved to the highlight of
the first story hour held espec-
ially for visiting Fresh Air Fund
children at the Back Mountain
Memorial Library July 2.
Croaky’s adventures were illu-
strated by story lady Mrs.
William Kaempffer with the aid’
of flannel board cut-outs. A
second story, ‘When Homer
Honked,” a song, “The Wheels
on a Bus,” and a movie, “The
Red Balloon,” added still more
to the morning’s fun. Cookies
and punch were served by Mrs.
Jay Niskey, Mrs. Edward
Thompson, and Mrs. Charles
Butler.
An imaginary lion hunt led by
Mrs. Thomas Benton and a
movie called “Paddle To the
Sea’ were the featured attrac-
tions of the second story hour
July 7. Mrs. Benton was assist-
ed by Mrs. Robert Yarashus,
Mrs. Charles Butler, and Mrs.
Ray Niskey.
The story hours are sponsored
and staffed by members of the
Dallas Junior Woman’s Club at
the Children’s Annex of the
library. Each guest from New
York City attending the story
hour receives a new book as a
souvenir of his stay in Dallas
and refreshments are served by
Club women.
Mrs. Eugene Goll, chairman
of the story hour project, an-
nounces that two other story
hours are planned July 31 and
August 6, following the arrival
of the second group of Fresh Air
Fund youngsters to the Back
Mountain area.
handloaders
need no permit
The thousands of sportsmen
in Pennsylvania who load am-
munition will not need a permit
to purchase gunpowder, ac-
cording to information received
by the game commission.
Numerous inquiries have
been received in game commis-
sion offices concerning new reg-
ulations effective June 5 gov-
erning the storage, handling
and use of explosives. It was
originally understood that
buyers and sellers of gunpow-
der needed a permit.
However, the game commisi-
sion has been advised by the
Pennsylvania Department of
Labor and Industry that those
who purchase gunpowder in
small quantities for their per-
sonal use in handloading do not
need a permit.
The Labor and Industry De-
partment said its revised regu-
lations are aimed at firms, as-
sociations and corporations en-
gaged in the manufacture, stor-
age, handling, use or sale of ex-
plosives in large quantities of
100 pounds or more which
create a potential danger.

expect long service 1a// women can choose
from quality luggage c/ohing to cut height
Luggage is a very popular gift
item at this time of year for
graduates and young marrieds.
Buy quality luggage that is
lightweight and compact in ap-
pearance, yet strong and roomy
enough to meet the needs of the
person who will use it, advises
Lillian B. Jamgochian, exten-
sion home ecomonist, Luzerne
County.
Lightweight but strong lug-
gage makes even the largest
piece comfortable to carry. If
luggage is heavy or difficult to
manage when empty, consider
what it will be when packed.
Check the outside construc-
tion of luggage and the inside
trimmings and linings for
quality workmanship. Take
long enough time to read hand-
tags for information on
materials and finishes used,
suggests Mrs. Jamgochian.
Well-made luggage may have a
high price tag, but you can
expect it to give you top service
for_a long time.
The outer material of luggage
should be tough and highly re-
sistant to scuffing, scratching,
and staining. Many outer ma-
terials are waterproof and
washable; others are treated
with a stain-resistant finish to
repel dust and stains.
Handles may be molded
plastic, metal cushioned with
vinyl-coated foam rubber,
leather, or vinyl. Not only
should the handle be comfort-
able in the hand but also secure-
ly attached and positioned for
easy carrying. Fine quality
hardware—hinges, locks, and
zippers—is a sign of quality lug-
gage.

OR
another model priced at $119.50?
T HE ANSWERS to the questions above show how easily you and your
family can lose money each year in your search for quality. The
fact is that you, like so many others, may be buying virtually “blind-
folded.” For example:
On the basis of impartial laboratory tests, the color TV set priced
at $359.95 was judged better in overall quality than the model priced
at $429.95. (Possible saving: up to $70.00)
The washing machine priced at an average of $254.98 was judged
inferior in washing ability to the model priced at an average of $206.18.
(Possible saving: up to $48.80)
The instant-load autoexposure camera priced at $69.95 was top
rated over similar models priced as high as $119.50. (Possible saving:
up to $49.55)
The radio-phono console priced at $379.95 was judged better in
overall quality than the console priced at $499.95 and was rated a
“Best Buy.” (Possible saving: up to $120.00)
These “hidden” values and savings were revealed in recent issues
of Consumer Reports. Hundreds of products like these are rated in
the latest 448-page issue of the famous Consumer Reports Buying
Guide. A copy is yours as a gift with a one year subscription to
Consumer Reports.
How these impartial tests are made
Consumer Reports is published monthly by Consumers Union, a
nonprofit, public-service organization. CU has absolutely no con-
nection with any manufacturer and prohibits the use of its findings for
promotional purposes. It accepts no advertising, no “gifts” or “loans”
of products for testing, no contributions from any commercial interest:
it derives its income from the sale of its publications to over 1,500,000
subscribers and newsstand buyers all over the U.S.
Consumers Union’s own shoppers buy, on the open market, random
samples of automobiles, clothing, foods, household appliances and
supplies, photographic and sports equipment, cosmetics, hi-fi com-
ponents, and most other kinds of products you may be thinking of
buying. These are tested comparatively by chemists and engineers.
Each regular monthly issue of Consumer Reports brings you the latest
findings, with ratings by brand name and model number as “Best Buy,”
“Acceptable” or “Not Acceptable.”
Facts you need for your family’s welfare
In addition, Consumer Reports brings you a wide range of authorita-
tive—sometimes startling—articles. You regularly receive candid,
