The number can usually be found in the "US Government" section of local telephone books under Veterans Administration Benefits Information and Assistance. e The numbers in Utah are: from the Ogden from the Provo area, from all area, and other locations in Utah, not in the Salt Lake metropolitan area. e The service is aimed at primarily veterans andor their dependents who live some distance from a Veterans Administration Office and therefore find it difficult to make a personal visit. Local telephone service is, of course, available to veterans who live in the dialing area within Salt Lake County and the southern part of Davis County, Smith said. e The service has proven to be extremely popular and Veterans Administration counselors answered over 18 million telephone inquiries in 1976.

Because the service is so popular. Smith said, veterans should have at hand as much Veterans Administration related information about themselves as possible when making a call.

The e Veterans Administration network now serves 34 states and 11 other states have partial service between population centers and Veterans Administration Regional Offices.
