More than 1,500,000 veterans in five south eastern states have the chance to win a college degree, complete grad uate study, or become highly skilled craftsmen in their chosen field. Many are already taking advan tage of the opportunity. Many more are letting opiportunity slip away through lack of information or thoughtlessness. The choice of the type education or training to be pur sued is up to the veteran under the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act. Training or education can be care fully selected where it will be of value for a lifetime. If the privilege is wasted and the opportunity used only for the sake of a passing whim or to provide a briefly inflated in come, it will be the veteran who is the loser in the years ahead. Generally speaking, there are 3 types of education and training avail, able through laws administered by the United States Veterans Admini stration: 1. On-the-job training under the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act. 2. Educational training in an in stitution under the Servicemen’s Re adjustment Act. 3. Vocational rehabilitation for disabled servicemen under provisions of Public Law 16. Succeeding columns will discuss educational benefits and vocational rehabilitation. Today’s column will be devoted to on-the-job training under the Servicemen’s Readjust ment Act. Q. How long must a veteran have served to be eligible for training? A. He must have served at least 90 days after September 16, 1940. Q. How long a course of training is he eligible for? A. Naturally, that depends upon the type work for which he is train ing. His basic eligibility is for one year plus one additional day for each day he spent in active service. A veteran who was in service exactly a year would be basically eligible for two years. The maximum available eligibility js for four years. In ac tual practice, however, his course of training may not exceed the usual time taken by an apprentice to learn the trade he has selected. Q. How soon must a veteran ap ply for training? A. Withi four years after his discharge or the end of the war. Since the end of the war has not yet been proclaimed, veterans who have already been discharged have four years from the date when it is offi cially ended. Q. Will the Veterans Administra.

June 30.—Columbia.—The State Commission of Forestry will extend organized forest protection to all woodland areas in the State begin ning July 1, announced Charles H. Flory, State Forester. Heretofore, intensive control of forest fires has been limited to those areas where suitable legislation provided funds to match State and Federal appro priations for fire control work. State-wide protection was author ized by the passage of the South Carolina Fire Protection Act No. 183 on April 18, 1945. During 1945-46, intensive protec tion was given 7,554,306 acres of woodland in 24 of the counties in the State. Intensive protection will be extended to the remaining 22 counties during the coming fiscal year. Thus, during the 1946-47 fire season, the Commission of Forestry will set into motion the first State wide forest fire control organization in the South. The expansion of fire control acti vities to all woodland areas neces sitated the construction of 31 new fire detection towers and 400 miles of telephone lines to supplement existing improvements. These tow ers, with 112 existing State-owned, private and federal towers, except for a few secondary towers, will af ford the detection coverage neces sary to adequate protect all wood land areas in South Carolina during normal weather conditions. The tele phone lines connect each of the tow ers with local exchanges and will complete the basic communications system for the entire state except for necessary spur connections to head quarters of Unit Rangers and Fire Wardens. Organizations for each pf the 22 new fire control units will be or. ganized and trained prior to next fire season. Improvements Constructed Towersites were secured jn areas which were blind to existing towers through the combined efforts of per sonnel of the Commission of Forest ry, the County Legislative Delega tion, the County Forestry Board, and interested citizens. Many of the towersites were secured through do nation by public spirited citizens, others were p'-.rchased by the coun ties for use by the Forestry Commis sion. Towersites were selected on the basis of elevation above the sur rounding terrain. The average nor mal distance which can be seen from each of the towers is 8 to 10 miles. Towers were purchased from tion find a place of training for the veteran ? A. The Veteran must make his own choice of trade and find his own ap proved place of training. The Vet erans Administration will assist him in any way possible, however. Q. Who approves firms for on- the-job training A. The Veterans Administration accepts the certification of the var ious states that firms meet the ap proved standards. Under the law, it is up to the states and not he VA to pass on firms offering on-the-job training. Q. If a veteran wishes on-the-job training what is the first step? A. He should take a photostatic cop / of his discharge papers to the nearest contact office of the Vet erans Administration. He will be assisted in filling out an applica tion form 1950. A certificate of eli. gibility will be mailed to him within a reasonable time. Q. After the certificate of eligi bility comes what should he do? A. Find an approved firm which offers the type training he wants. VA offices a s well as state veteran’s offices keep revised lists of firms where training vacancies exist. When a veteran enters training he should get the certificate of eligibiliy exe cuted and returned to the Veterans Administration. His subsistence checks will start within a few weeks. Q. How much does he get? A. A veteran in full time training without dependents receives $65 a month subsistence. If he has de pendents, he receives $90 per month. R - U AWARE?

Bethlehem Steel Corporation, who placed the lowest bid on prefabricat ing the towers to conform with the Commission’s specifications. In the Newberry Unit, two 80 foot steel towers were constructed near Silverstreet and Prosperity. These towers, with Whitmire tower of the U. S. Forest Service in Newberry County and State and Federal tow ers in adjoining counties, will afford complete normal protection to all woodland areas in the control unit. AH construction, including both foundation and steel erection, was under the supervision of Fire Con trol Engineer J. R. McLees, of the Commission’s central office in Co lumbia. Actual construction of all of the 31 towers was done by one foundation crew and two steel crews employed and trained by the Com mission of Forestry, at a cost which was considerably less than contrac tors bids which were received. This represented a great saving which can now be used for fire control equipment and organizational work. The accompanying pictures show towers in various stages of construc tion. First, the foundations, which are concrete reinforced with steel; second, a tower half-completed, and third, the completed tower. Evacua tions were generally made through cooperation of the County Supervisor. Foundations were laid usually in two days. Steel erection was completed in two to four days. Telephone lines constructed in the Newberry Unit connect Silverstreet Tojver to Newberry and Prosperity Tower to the Prosperity exchange.
