EDITORIAL Your Day, Too Veterans Day this Veterans Day to recall a true and recent story. It has great influence and signi- It seems appropriate ficance. Not long ago, a group of Students for a Democratic Society- - (SDS) asked a young soldier in Chicago why he served in the United States Army. Without hesitation, the young GI replied, So you can stand here on this comer and shoot off your mouth. A newsman overheard the soldier's remark and re (Washington) President of lower grade servicemen. The aim is to bring these benefits more in line with the rise in the cost of living. The measure revises the present formula under which the payments are boosted according to increases in military pay scales. A widow now get $120 plus 12 per cent of the monthly base pay of the rank held by her husband, but no less than $133 a month. The new system will be a flat rate for each rank with no built-i- n provision for increases. Benefits will be increased $30 a month for widows of privates to $172. Benefits will be increased at a lesser rate for higher grades. There will be no increase for survivors of officers above the rank of Lieutenant-Colone- l. There will be an added payment of $20 for each child under 18, regardless erf what the widows receive under Social Security. Under the old system, social security benefits prevented many from getting any veterans administration payments for children. - October 28 Mrs. James Cobb gave birth to a girl.

The stalwart and proud young man thus far remains anonymous. This event has a direct bearing on the vast majorof our servicemen and women. They devote themity selves to serving their country and independence; they are contributing all they have to our beloved country yet they, too, remain anonymous. But it is this group of formidable and compassionate citizens who form the backbone of our country. It is these proud individuals who build our heritage; individuals with a passion for America; individuals willing to fight for, not against, our great nation. Veterans Day is of necessity a day set aside to commemorate those who have paid the supreme sacrifice on the battlefields. Indeed, it should also be a day to honor, remember and respect those who continue to keep our land free, honest, and virtuous. (AFPS) Troopin The Line Nixon Boost Benefits "There is no greater gift that any one age could make to the ages that follow than to forge the key to lasting peace, stated President Richard Nixon in a recent address to the United Nations on the major structure of peace. Mr. Nixon said that the United States is constantly receiving criticism from other nations of the world as well as the American people themselves concerning its role as a future power. This was especially evident with the Vietnam Moratorium in which hundreds of thousands of Americans openly displayed their discontent with the U.S. Government's role in overseas commitments and its plans for the future. As for the United States, commented Mr. Nixon, we have not turned away from the world. We know that with power goes responsibility. We are neither boastful of our power, nor apologetic about it. We recognize that it exists; and that as well as conferring certain advantages, it also imposes upon us certain obligations. As the world changes, the pattern of those obligations and responsibilities change." In achieving this new structure of peace, Mr. Nixon feels that it is essential that the United States enlist the cooperation of all other nations to help enrich life and preserve peace. Peace cannot lie obtained by merely issuing an American proclamation, a French proclamation, a Russian proclamation, or a proclamation by any other country in the world; it must reflect the wishes and needs of the people themselves. Mr. Nixon further added that it is not his belief that the way to peace is by giving up our friends or letting down our allies. On the contrary, our aim is to place America's international commitments oil a substantial, long-terliasis, to encourage local and regional initiatives, to foster national indeand by so doing to strengthen pendence and the total fabric of peace. In order to avoid hypocrisy on the part of the U.S., Nixon said that it. would be dishonest to pretend that the United States has no national interests of its own, or no special concern for its own interests. However, our most fundamental national interest is in maintaining that structure of international ' stability on which peace depends, and which makes orderly progress possible. Mr. Nixon also capitalized on the U.N. address to help express the objectives of. the United States in Vietnam. He said that ever since he became President, no problem or issue has occupied so much of his time and energy as a possible end to the war in Vietnam. We in the United States want to end this war, and we are ready to take every reasonable step to achieve that goal, stressed Mr. Nixon. But let there be no question on this one fundamental point: in good conscience we cannot, in the longterm interests of peace we will not, accept a settlement that would arbitrarily dictate the political future of South Vietnam and deny to the people of South Vietnam the basic right to determine their own future free of outside interference. To secure this right and to secure this principle is our one limited but fundamental objective. In concluding his address, Mr. Nixon made an appeal to the United Nations for help in not only ending the Vietnam war but also in establishing a more stable structure of peace. He then outlined the different attempts that the United States has made to bring the North Vietnamese to a peace treaty. He pointed out that the U.S. has lived up to its end of the bargain by halting the bombing strikes and withdrawing her of the war. troops; in short, the The time has come for the other side to respond to these continued Mr. Nixon. The time has cmne for initiatives, peace. And in the name of peace, I urge all of you representto use your best diplomatic efforts to persuade ing 126 nations Hanoi to move seriously into the negotiations that could end this war. Since President Nixon's September 18th address, individuals throughout the world have witnessed new peace initiatives on the part of Hanoi as a direct result of the nation-wid- e Vietnam Moratorium on October 15. These initial steps by the North Vietnamese have suddenly sparked new hope for the end of the war and the strengthening of the world's peace structure. What exactly has prompted Hanoi to start discussing an end to the war is not known, hut if a peace treaty should materialize it would become even more evident that the United States is attempting to earn a reputation as the world's locksmith the locksmith who is always striving to forge the key to lasting peace!

The majority of skiers are weekend enthusiasts, who make a mad dash for one of the most taxing physical sports. Muscles which are weak and seldom used are suddenly stretched, twisted, pulled, and otherwise abused. To help prevent skiing injuries, one must start developing his body long before he reaches the slopes. Prepare a daily training program to include such exercises as deep knww bends, pushups, touch-flat- s, and running.

Ten minutes a day may save ten days in the hospital Good equipment, proper fit, and accurate adjustment will prevent many injuries. Quality boots and bindings which are properly adjusted are absolutely essential for safety and controlled skiing. Safety or release" bindings provide some factor of safety by releasing the boot from the ski when pressure is applied to the release mechanism. Bindings such as these are not fool proof, but when properly adjusted by a ski shop or experienced person, could very well prevent a broken leg. A National Ski Patrol Survey of 1,762 ski accidents indicated that 61 percent of the injured skiers were wearing conventional bindings and 36 per cent were wearing safety bindings.
