Evans during the initial landing and invasion of and while unSicily, July der enemy fire and air attack at 8 Bizerte, Tunisia, August and September 6, 1943. The citation was made by Rear Admiral Randall Jacobs, chief of naval personnel. In making the citation Admiral Jacobs stated: "A report of the experience reveals that while at Gela, Sicily, to terrific you were subjected bombardments from shore batteries and hostile bombers. Despite the constant and prolonged danger from flying shrapnel, shell and machine-gufire, the Navy gun crew fought back viciously, courageously defending their ship with its vital cargo of troops and ammunition, and thereby contributing materially to the success of the invasion operation. On this occasion the guns of the EVANS shot down one plane and contributed to the destruction of three others. Later, at Bizerte, the Armed Guard again displayed superb readiness for combat as their dead-'l- y shellfire scored hits on four German aircraft and repeatedly drove off the raiders without damage to their vessel. "Your gallant and brilliantly effective performance in the above engagements was in keeping with the finest traditions of the United States Naval Service," said Admi-la- l Jacobs.

Mr. Ellett stated that the Veterans Rehibilitation Division had been informed recently "to aid and assist veterans and their families in securing such aid and assistance as might be theirs under State and Federal Acts."

The WASHINGTON, House has passed by an overwhelming majority and sent to the White House the compromise ver sion, agreed to by the Senate, of the G. I. Bill of Rights. Among other things, the bill provides un employment compensation in the amount of $20 weekly for a maxi mum of 52 weeks for veterans out of jobs in the first two years after their discharge from the service, with a job placement bureau to be established within the United States Employment Service. Any cash benefits the veteran receives under the provisions of the bill would be deducted from any bonus that might be voted later. The cost of the legislation has been estimated at from three to five billion dollars. The Senate passed legislation appropriating $3,920,570,000 to finance Foreign Eco nomic Administration and UNRRA during the fiscal year starting Julyl. Included in this action was authority to allow the President to transfer $350,000,000 in funds to the UNRRA (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration) for war em This measure now ergencies. goes to the House.

It is an hon or to reach the age of 82 years in sound mind and body and a double honor , Indeed, to celebrate such an occasion in the presence of one's family. Therefore, when on the evening of June 12, 1944, at the luxurious home of Mr. and Mrs. Reed Hill, of this place, there gathered the sons and daughters, their husbands and wives, with grandchildren and children and to honor with presents, refreshments and entertainment, it goes without saying that Henry W. Hall will never forget such an event nor will any of those present. Henry W. Hall was born at To. quervllle, Utah, in the year 1862, and right here ye will quote from one of the many poems he has composed covering a part of his past history: My parents were of that sturdy band That pioneered Utah's Dixie land Thery settled at Toquervllla so grand. That is noted for its rocks and sand. It was there among her sand and rocks That I was born in a wagon-boAnd I've often heard my mother As.i-wort- h rn 47, Mr. discharge. This is not replacable. Widows must have marriage certificates, birth certificates, and birth certificates of children. These verifications must be available when the claim for compensation is presented. Claims for com- ipensation should be filed within twelve months after release of the veteran, or by dependants within twelve months after veteran's death. These claims should be filed regardless of whether or not financial assistance is needed. This will protect veterans or independents from possible difficulties in .ts. es. 'hZ A. ().
