NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA; FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1946
$1.00 PER ANNUM
VA WILL PAY FOR
AIR TRAINING
The Veterans Administration will
pay for flight training of veterans
when courses are organized to quali
fy students for certificates or rat
ings from the Civil Aeronautics Ad
ministration. This is according to
recent information received at the
Veterans Adminstration office, A. M.
McWhirter, Contact Representative,
Newberry, serving the counties of
Saluda .Fairfield, Laurens and New
berry, from S. C. Groeschel, Mana
ger, VA center in Columbia.
Contracts negotiated with flight
training schools for veterans’
courses under the Servicemen’s Re
adjustment Act wil protect veterans
from courses that will not lead to
ratings.
Five types of unit flight courses
are provided for: elementary flight
or private pilot; advanced flight or
commercial pilot; flight instructor;
instrument rating; and multiengine
rating. The veteran can take only
one flight course at a time, but that
may be either a full time or a part
time course, and, as in other types
Of training, VA will pay for ' the
necessary books and supplies.
An eligible veteran who formerly
held a CAA certificate or rating but
has not kept it current, may enroll
in a course at any stage to qualify
for reinstatement. The veteran who
has had some flying time but not
enough to qualify him for a certifi
cate or rating, may enroll in any
course for which he is eligible and
take enough hours to complete the
requirements for the rating he
wants.
Subsistence allowances for veter
ans in flight training follow the
same rules as in other types of
training, except that for the purpose
of the allowance, an hour of flying
time is counted as two hours. This
means that a veteran who is taking
two hours of ground instruction and
two hours of flight instruction each
week is credited with six hours of
school for the purpose of comput
ing his subsistence allowance.
If he is otherwise, eligible, this
method of computation will entitle
the veteran to one fourth of the re
gular allowance of $65 a month for
single veterans, which amounts to
$16.25 a month, or one fourth of the
regular allowances of $90 a month
for those with dependents, which
amounts to $22.50 a month of in
struction.
Veterans interested in this type
of training may get additional in
formation at the VA office at 1113
Boyce street, Newberry.

Approve Quarters
To House Veterans
President James C. Kinard of
Newberry College has been notified
that the Federal Public Housing
Authority has awarded the contract
for the * erection of the veteran
bousing units to C. M. Guest and
Sons of Anderson. The work is ex
pected to begin soon.*
Apartment units will be provided
for forty married veterans and
their families and one dormitory for
the same number of single veterans.
The housing units will be erected
on the campus east of Carnegie Hall
and the dormitory for single veter
ans will be placed on the site adja
cent to the gymnasium.
President Kinard states that ap
plications are coming in daily. It is
expected that within a short time
all accommodations will have been
reserved. Stated Dr. Kinard to a
Sun reporter: “When all our ac
commodations have been taken we
shall have to refuse any further ap
plications. We do not propose to
have any overcrowding, which would
certainly interfere with good work.
Further, we d 0 not think it wise to
admit so many students that we
could not. give the personal atten
tion for which Newberry College
has through the years built a high
reputation,”
Following is a statement from
W. J. Bryan Dorn, candidate for Con
gress from the Third South Crolina
District:
“For years I made every prepara
tion to enter the race for Congress
in 1942, however, after the Japanese
attack I withdrew from that race
and resgined from the State Senate
to volunteer for our Armed Forces.
Now I am in the Congressional race
to the finish.
“If Congress had acted on the rec
ommendations - of the veterans of
World War I there would have
been no World War II. The veter
ans of both wars backed by the
people are now going to demand
legislation that will prevent World
War III.
“The United States today is in the
greatest crisis of its histox - y and in
need of men who are unafraid to act
for the best interest of the entire na
tion. Anyone who will be 18 by
November 5 is privileged to vote. I
urge every person t° enroll at once.”
Mr. Dorn has the distinction of be
ing the youngest member of the
State House of Representatives from
1939 to 1940. He was the youngest
State Senator in the history of our
state, serving from 1941 to 1942, at
which time he resigned to volunteer
his services to his country.
The candidate is one of seven
brothers serving in the recent war.
He is a farmer by occupation, resid
ing at route one, Greenwood.
The teacher had forbidden the
eating of candy and the chewing of
gum during school tinxe. OOne day
she became suspicious of a lump in
Jimmie’s cheek.
“Jimmie, are you eating candy or
are you chewing gum?” she ask
ed. “No, ma’am,” replied Jimmie.
“I’m just soaking a prune to eat at
recess.”

ment to the Sun: • . *
To The Voters of Newberry
County: ‘
“I am withdrawing as a candi-
date, for the office of Probate
Judge, -and shall so notify the
County Chairtnan of the Demo
cratic Party: I think if I remain
ed in the race,'I could be elected,
but I d 0 not wish to engage in a
political contest, which it now
appears .m'ay be very unpleasant.
I thank the many people who have
been kind enough to assure me of

Readjustment Act
Benefits Ex-G.I.’s
A. M. McWhirter, Contact Repre
sentative, local office. Veterans Ad
ministration, today pointed out that
according to information received
from S. C. Groeschel, Manager of
the Veterans Administration Center,
Columbia, South Carolina veterans
will benefit i n the amount of $67,-
867.78 under provisions of the Ser
vicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944
which provides that an amou*j|£'equi
valent to four percent'of the. amount
originally guaranteed on loans to
veterans shall, be paid' by the Ad
ministrator of Veterans Affairs to
the lendex - , to be credited on the
loan.
Through May 10, loans aggregat
ing $3,544,132.41 for the purchase of
farms, homes, farm equipment, bus
inesses and business property had
been made jn South Carolina. Of this
s.raount, $1,696,694.47 has been guar
anteed by the Veterans Administra
tion.
The four percent paid by the Vet
erans Administration will be treat
ed as a payment on the loan or, at
the election of the borrower, be used
to pay part of the interest during
the first year of the loan.
The loan guaranteed is not a gift,
but the four percent interest in the
amount originally guaranteed is a
gift in that it reduces the amount of
the loan to be paid by the amount
of the credit issued to the lender.
Under the original law, Public Law
346 (78th Congress) the interest
credit was paid, to tjM*..lender, at the
end of the first yeaf of amortization.
Under the amended law - , Public Law
268 ( 79th Congress) a voucher'for
the four percent credit fox the first
year’s interest on the guaranteed
pai‘t of the loin is issued at the time
the guaranty is executed.

1 cerning loans should visit or com
municate with the Veterans Admini-

Dept. Public Welfare
Gives New Formula
Chairman Joe Connelly of the
Newberry County Board of Public
Welfare has received the formula
approved by the State Board of
Public Welfare for distribution of
funds for old age and other types of
aid to needy persons in the county
during the fiscal year beginning
July first.
The money is to be applied on
the basis of actual need as deter
mined by the county welfare de
partment under standards uniform
ly applied in all counties. Each
county board estimates the total
need in the county for each type of
assistance, expressed in financial
terms, and the sum of these esti
mates in the forty-six counties is
the total for the State. Available
funds are then allocated for use in
each county jn the proportion of its
need to the total need in the State.
It is estimated that 75 percent of
the actual need of each recipient of
old age assistance can be given dur
ing the next year, whereas only 70
percent was possible in the year now
closing. Reduced percentages will
be necessary In awards to depend
ent children, to the needy blind, and
to handicapped persons. While 45
percent of the need in dependent
children cases has been awarded this
year, only 40 percent can he given
after July first. Needy blind per
sons will receive 90 percent as
against 100 percent in the current
year. General relief recipients can
be given 40 percent of actual
need.
These reduced percentages are
necessary because of substantial in
creases in the number of persons
who are expected to need help dur
ing the year, due in large measure
to discontinuance of serviceman’s
allotments and to reduced employ
ment of women and of elderly and
handicapped persons.
During a grammar lesson one day
the teacher wrote on the blackboard:
“I didn’t have no fun at the sea
side.”
The n she turned to her pupils and
said to one: “Roland, how should I
correct that?”
“Get a boy friend,” he answered.

State Financing Poor
Writes Spectator
Judge J. Strom Thurmond, candi
date for Governor did a strange
thing. Years ago the course adopt
ed by Mr. Thurmond was regarded
as the only appropiate course, but
times havp changed. What did
Mr. Thurmond do? He resigned as
Circuit Judge in order to enter
the race for Governor. Even the
Judge was a bit slow about resign
ing but the others don’t resign at
all; they hold fast to one job, with
its pay, perquisites and possibili
ties, while giving most of their time
to a campaign for another office.
In recent years a Governor wants
to be a Senator and begins his
race for the Senate as soon as he
takes the oath as Governor.
Some one tells me that the City
of Columbia has a law (ordinance)
which requires a city official to re
sign forthwith if he becomes a
candidate for a different office.
That can’t be true, but R ought to
be true.
At any rate, Mk- Thurmond has
distinguished himself in many en
deavors, not the least being the
amazing sense of propriety which
prompted him to resign his place
on the bench i n order to run for
Governor. What ' imanner of irian
this man be, that he should do such
a thing?
The State could long ago have
supported the schools, paying all
the cost of operations, except that
the State throws money around in
so many directions that it carries on
by piece-meal in every direction.
Lack of a policy opens the gates
for a free-for-all rush for money
every year.
Whe n Mr. Gerald looks at his
task he sees complications on every
hand. The State will pension some
teachers, apparently, but not others,
this being due to the lack of unity
in the school organization. At bot
tom we seem to be undecided as to
the wisdom of State Schools, or
County schools, or district schools,
or a general scrambling of all this,
with a hope that Charlie Gerald
may find out what’s what and why
and how.
Let us enjoy the sunshine and
forget John Lewis and all other
strike leaders. The Nation h(as
won another great victory by bow
ing t 0 John Lewis. And now the
President hesitates to sign a bill
which might be of a little service.
Let’s forget it — until you buy
your coal. Then when you pay rail
road freight you can celebrate an
other victory.
But why worry about these
things? Unless we are determin
ed to do something as voters, we
need not cry out in futility in our
homes, on the streets and on the
farms. Unless we as citizens mean
to take the bit in our teeth we
might just as well pay the price
with a smile.
