Show uj jjyi i n c t o mSmk Q I am the widow Of World War I veteran and have a sixteen-year old daughter. I have been nnable to get a copy of her birth certificate certifi-cate to apply for death pension. My only record la the family Bible which list the date of her birth and nme. Will that be acceptable to the Veterans Administration? A Yes. A copy of the family Bible record certified by a notary public will be satisfactory. The certification should date in what year the j Bible was printed, whether there are erasures, and whether he believes the entry was actually written at the time of your daugh-! daugh-! ter's birth. j Q- I t it true that the Hoover Commission recommended fish and wildlife wild-life conservation be turned over to the states? A Yes. The Hoover'Commission disclaimed all basic Federal responsibility respon-sibility for recreation, fish and wild life conservation and similar programs, saying they are the responsibility of the local governments govern-ments and of private citizens. However the attitude of the Attorney General's office may be more far-reaching than the Hoover Commission Com-mission recommendation. For Instance, It has been the policy of TV A to buy a strip of land around the border of a lake to assure access by the public free of charge, for recreation use. The Attorney General has recently ruled that In the name of economy, land for dams, reservoirs or other federal projects shall be restricted to the absolute minimum necessary for operation and maintenance of the I project. That the "development of recreational and other Incidental facilities by local agencies or private individuals will be made possible without federal expense." |
