YES. even though a veteran cannot drive, the law per-mipayment of an allowance up to $1,000 toward the purchase of an automobile for an eligible veferan if someone will drive the car for him. Since the allow, ance may only be paid to the seller,, do not take any action until after you obtain an application and guidance from the VA.

What Is the limit on the amount of a guaranteed home loan a veteran can obtain from a lending institution, and what is the maximum length of time allowed to repay this type of loan? ..A. THE VA has no limit on the amount which may lie d with a guaranteed loan. However, there is a limitation on the amount of the YA guaranty to the lender. The guaranty cannot lie more than 60 per cent of the loan and in no event can it exceed $12,500. Cl home loan mortgages may run up to 30 years. ' ' Q.

Docucan do mentation of much to supplement information obtained from accident reports, says the Council, which uses this dta in studying the causes of accidents. And it's only after accident causes are established that accident prevention can begin. Every year, the railroad industry sends the Council a summary of near-mis- s reports turned in by its train crews. There were more than 600 such reports last year, and, according to a Council spokesman, we're only seeing the tip of the icelierg. The Council uses data from these reports to determine proper direction for some of its educational programs. For example, more than a fourth of the reports from last year involved train schoolbus near - misses, indicating that schoolbus drivers need more education in safety procedures at railroad crossings. RIGHT NOW, the only regular near-mis- s reports come from the railroads. Such a procedure would also be valuable in preventing accidents throughout the highway system, however, and there are thoughts of enlisting the aid of large schoolbus and truck fleet operators as well as police in setting it up. Even so, each individual is his own best accident- - preventer. The best advice, of course, is to drive in such a way as to avoid even a near-misBut when and it will one does occur take the time to analyze WHY you were so close to an accident.

After examining Tom, the brain specialists (neurologists) ordered electrical recordings of his brain waves. Then the doctors prescribed special drugs for him which they expected would prevent his convulsions if taken faithfully. Thanks to modern med:- cine, Tom now lives comfor-abl- e without seizures. This man, who experienced lui epileptic seizure, is one of a million Americans who today can lead normal lives because their seizures can be controlled use of various drugs. by ; Epilepsy refers to a group of disorders which have the common characteristic of repeated electrical overactivity of an area of the brain. It can result from many different diseases which affect the strain. Often no cause can be , , sud-de- n, found. Part of the problem in finding 3he causes of epilepsy is the intricate nature of the brains function. Science has ushered 3n a new era in the study of v- - ' merve cell activity underlying normal and abnormal brain Use of instruments ' function . - nal electrical patterns in the brain. the One such instrument, (EEG), electroencephalograph makes a record of shifts of electrical energy in groups of brain cells. With the EEG it is possible to make recordings through the scalp without discomfort to the patient. In nearly all epilepsy patients, unusual electrical patterns appear in the EEG record. In the majority of epilepsy patients in which these electrical abnormalities are well localized, the EEG can assist the doctor in determining the specific area of the brain within which the electrical storm originated. Now research has developed a fine electrode so thin it can record the electrical activity of a single brain cell. The microresearchers electrode helps understand basic functions of the various brain structures. This technical advance increases the accuracy of drug tests on animal with experimentally-produced epilepsy. These drugs, which doctors hope will reduce seizures, can then be safely used to treat epilepsy patients. Fevers are the most common cause of seizures in babies. A recent discovery which may help prevent some infant seizures is that some of these convulsions result from alteration of the bodys ability to regulate its mineral and water balance. When physicians correct these changed balances, they can reduce the chances of repeated seizures in children. New hope for the epilepsy patient stems from the long efforts of physicians and research scientists.
