ARMFIELD The caption of this column would suggest that it has to do with air planes, or the Air Force. In this post-war era, however. Contact is gradually beginning to mean more to veterans than just memories of war experiences. Contact is the new division, set up by the Administra tor of Veterans Affairs, to assist veterans of all wars in every pos sible way. I say the division is new—this is, comparatively. The Veterans Ad ministration has been established for many years, but until a few years ago, “Contact” was a term not synonymous with that govern ment agency. The initial Contact Representatives were established in Army a nd Navy hospitals, and other centers at which service personnel were discharged from the armed forces. These representatives ad vised veterans about pensions, in surance, and other matters which would confront them in civilian life. Today there are VA Contact Units not only in Army and Navy Separa tion centers, but such units are lo cated at strategic points in every state. In South Carolina, there are a number of field units, under the jurisdiction of the VA center in Co lumbia. As you perhaps already know, Newberry was fortunate enough to be selected for one of these units, and our Contact Repre sentative is Mr. A. M. McWhirter “Mr. Mac” is almost a Newberrian, his home being “just across the river” in Blairs. Having been cured—at least tem porarily—of a case of wanderlust after five years traveling up and dow n the Atlantic Seaboard, from Charleston to New York and back vi a Washington, I decided it was time for me to come back to Gildercrest —and just about the time I was packing my bags to leave Washing ton and Capitol Hill, rumors of the Contact Office opening here reached my ears. I had had some experience with such an office at Mason Gen eral Hospital 0 n Long Island. I knew the work to be interesting—and it occurred to me that any work which would benefit our veterans would be worthwhile—so the writer is now secretary in the Newberry VA Con tact Unit. Since our office opened on May 6 of this year, Mr. Mac and I have found that many veterans, having gone through separation centers at such a rapid pace, were ill advised as to their benefits under the Ser vicemen’s Readjustment Act of j44, more commonly know n as the G. I. Bill. For instance, just a few days ago, a veteran, when asked jf he was keeping his G. I. insurance in force, said“No—wish I had, but it’s too late now.” We told him that wasn’t true, and wondered where he got such an idea. He said, “Well, they told me at separation center that 1 LITTLE NEWS ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST LAVENIA ROOK BROWN Mr. and Mrs. C. K.

Billy has completed a nine months’ course only had 31 days to think it over and in embalming and funeral directing, pay my next premium.” This is | He will return to Newberry with his true only to a certain extent. It is a fact that a veteran’s next insur ance premium is usually due about 31 days after discharge; BUT—if he does not pay that premium and his insurance lapses, he can reinstate it at any time, simply by payment of a premium for a month of lapse, and one premium in advance, provid ed he is in as good health now as at the time he paid his last premium If any of you veterans have allowed your term insurance to lapse, come up to see us and we’ll be glad to give you full information on rein statement. Have you been out to see our new Airpart lately? Mr. Shealy is really making progrress, what with his new hangars, runways, etc. . but most important to veterans is the recent announcement that Mr, Shealy had been approved by the government to give flight instruction under the G. I. Bill. Many veterans will want to take this course, either as beginners, or for those who were air corps pilots, to obtain their civi lian license. It is necessary for the veteran to have a “Certificate of Eligibility and Entitlement” before he can enroll for such a course— and that’s where we come in. We have the necessary forms, and will be glad to help you in making your application. And by the way—if you do want to make application for flight training—or for a course of education or on the job training, bring along a photo copy of your discharge, because that will have to go with your application. Perhaps by the time this is print ed, the Congress will have taken some action on the bill to provide terminal leave pay for enlisted per sonnel of the armed forces. Members of Congress feel that there is little doubt that the bill will pass, and we hope that, shortly after it is sign ed by the President and becomes a Public Law, we will have the neces sary forms to help all ex-GI’s apply for their terminal leave pay. An other piece of legislation of interest to veterans is the bill providing for certain amendments to the National Service Life Insurance Act—this bill has passed the House and favorable action is expected in the Senate. All veterans will be interested to know that passage of such a bill will very likely include provision for lump sum payment of insurance, as well as other valuable features. I could write on for hours about the many benefits to which veterans are entitled, and in which they are interested, but I’d better save some of it till next time. Meanwhile, all veterans, their families or de pendents are welcomed at the Con tact Unit, 1113 Boyce street, where Mr. Mac and I will do all we can to help you with your .problems. Mrs. Edward A.
