Veterans’ Children May Be Eligible For Higher Payments With no eligible widow, the minor children of a veteran who dies of a service-connected cause after Janu ary 1, 1957, may be entitled to higher compensation payments than were in effect before, the Veterans Administration has announced The term, “no eligible widow”, applies: if the mother is deceased, if the mother was divorced from the veteran at the time of his death, or if the widow subsequently re marries or dies. The higher payments were auth orized by the survivor benefits act which became effective January 1. 1957. Provisions of the new law are optional for children whose father died of a service-connected cause before January 1. However, it usu ally is to their advantage to receive the new benefit. An exception to the general rule are children who are receiving servicemen’s indemnity, the so called “free insurance" for certain deaths occurring between June 27, 1950 and December 31. 1955, in clusive. Such children may concur rently receive both the old from of death compensation and the service men’s indemnity payments.

n mere is no engiDie widow, the new rates of payment are: one child. $70 monthly: two children. $100: three children. $130: each ad ditional child. $25. The total payable Is divided equally among the chil dren. The old rates are $67, $94. $122 and $23 respectively. Guardians of minor children must make appli cation if the children are to receive the new benefit, even though the children already are on VA rolls. Movie Guide Prepared by Karmvillp Woman's club motion picture committee State Theater ''Friendly Persuasion” — starring Gary Cooper and Dorothy McGuire, is an excellent movie for the entire family. The peace and plenty of a Quaker family is shattered by the Civil War. The film is full of charm and chuckles, with conflict arising in the family from the clash of personal convictions. The belligerent old goose. Samantha, almost steals the show.

"High Noon"—with Gary Cooper anti Grace Kelly, has been returned at the request of many. If you missed it before, here is another opportunity to see this show. "Oh Men. Oh Women"—D avid Niven plays a funny and incompe tent psycho-analyst whose own neu roses keep nibbling at him to the detriment of his work. When a wacky patient (Tony Randall blames his condition on the girl. Barbara Rush, to wlifrin Niven is engaged, the analyst is unable to take his own advice. Ginger Rogers and Dan Dailey further complicate matters as a muddled pair seeking advice. This is an amusing adult picture, but not interesting to young people and children.
