for after the war is an educational
exhibit dealing with the origin and
function of the various breeds of

garden in which it is hoped to make

mens of all 167 known dog breeds
in the world.
Other contemplated research pro
jects include the creation of stand
ards of perfection for each breed
of dog and development of a me
dium-size. all-weather, super-intelli
gent farm dog who would be herd
dog. guard-dog and companion-dog

VETERANS’
OFFICE NOW
IN JUNEAU
The establishment of an of
fice of the Veterans’ Adminis
trttion in Alaska at this time is
primarily for the purpose of
studying the needs of the vet
erans in Alaska, Anthony E.
Karnes, in charge of the office,
said in Juneau today. While this
study is being made, help will
be given veterans, so far as is
possible, in securing benefits due
them.

has served in the armed forces
of the United States, in any
war, or in peace time. Tor most
benefits available to veterans,
fiO days’ service and an honor- !
able discharge are pre-requisites,
and most benefits are for war- '
timle veterans.
The following are some of the
benefits available to veterans
through the Veterans’ Adminis
i
tration: Compensation, pensions
to dependents, vocational re- '
habilitation to disabled veterans
of World War II, education or i
training of veterans of World i
War II under the G. I. Bill, gov
ernment insurance, d^ath bene
fits, adjusted compensation for
veterans of World War I, medi
cal care, hospital care, soldiers
homes, unemployment tnd re
adjustment pay, and G. I. loans
for veterans of World War II.
As a part of the study of the
needs of veterans in Alaska,
questionnaires have been sent to
all known veterans of World
War II, now living in Alaska, as
fast as the names of others are
learned, questionnaires are be
ing mailed to them. Owing to
the large number of benefits
available to these veterans, the
questionnaire is used: for the
present, the number of other
veterans residing in Alaska is all
that is desired.
In order to make this study
as comjplete as is possible, it is
requested that each veteran of i
World War II who has not re
ceived the questionnaire, each
veteran of World War I, except
those who belonged to an Amer.
ican Legion Post in Alaska for
the year 1944 (names of these
L | ionnaires are available in
j Juneau), and each veteran of the
Spanish-American War, fhe
Philippine Insurrection, the Box
er Rebellion, the Indian Wars,
peacetime veteran, and Civil
War veteran if any, write the
Veterans’ Administration, P. O.
Box 2629, Juneau, Alaska, giv
ing name in full, address, ap
proximate dates of service, any
any other information they care
to submit.
The more information and
names the new office in Juneau
j receives, the better the chances
for securing additional help in
administering to the needs of
veterans in Alaska. The object
of the study is to know how
many veterans there are in
Alaska, and what their needs
; are.
