cases where the veterans disability was due to peacetime service the payment rates would be 80 per cent of the amounts payable for wartime disability.
Until now, a veteran with a service-connected disability of 50 per cent or greater could get additional compensation for a wife, dependent parents and a child, up to a total of three children. The new law, P. L. 86-499, adds the above payments for additional children.
Veterans with less than 50 per cent of rated disability receive no additional compensation for a wife, parents or children.

Regional Convention
About 30 of Jehovah’s Witness es from the Culpeper congregation will attend a district convention in Washington, D. C. at Griffith Stadium, July 14 through 17.
In announcing the plans of the local delegates, Boyd M. Stine, presiding minister of the Culpeper congregation said that it has been necessary; to cancel all local meetings from July 13 to 18, due to many being away for the Christian assembly.
Stine stated that the local delegates attending the gathering will benefit greatly not only from the rich spiritual provisions but also from Christian association with thousands of Witnesses from the United States and Canada. An at tendence of 20,000 to 25,000 delegates is expected. The convention, he explained, will demonstrate how the Bible message and Christian living can unite people from all walks of life, regardless of race or other backgrounds that tend to divide the world. Only common interest in the pure worship of the Creator,, can do this.
