CONTACT
BY RUTH D. 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

a fact that a veteran’s next insur

it at any time, simply by payment
of a premium for a month of lapse,

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.
