FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1946 THE NEWBERRY SUN 20.000 MARINES TO REMAIN IN CHINA A new statement of our policy in China, issued by acting Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, said that the 20,000 Marines in China would remain there. He stressed that they were there only for guarding supply lines from coal producing areas to the great coastal cities, an essential service that should be continued. The statement was made in view of charges made by the Chinese Communists and some Rightists, that we were in China for no good purpose and that we should get out. It was also made as an ans wer to demands by Communist Leader Moa Tse-tung that the U. S. get out of China. Mao Tse-tung blamed the U. S. for the outbreak and propagation of civil war in China. Mrs. Grady Johnson of Myrtle Beach, was a weekend visitor in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Guy V. Whit- ener, where she visited her son, Grady Johnson, who is a student at Newberry college.

Cecil Lynch OPTOMETRIST 1304 MAIN STREET NEWBERRY, S. C. Fender & Body Work All veterans of World War II found entitled to compensation for the loss or loss of use df one or both legs at or above the ankles un der the laws administered by the Veterans’ Administration and, are therefore, eligible under Publ'e Law 663, 79th Congress to negotiate a sales agreement for the purchase of an automobile or other conveyance must satisfactorily demonstrate their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle, says Mr. W. L. Hardeman, Director, Motor Vehicle Division, State Highway depart ment. Mr. Hardeman states that there are numerous instances in which the eligible veteran has been in structed in driving tests by train ed representatives of the Govern ment and specially equipped ve hicles during their period of hos pitalization. In such an instance where the veteran has demonstrat- ed his ability to safely operate a motor vehicle during his hospitali zation period and has been certi fied to the State Highway Depart ment acdordingly an additional driving demonstration will not be required.' Another exception to the rule will be found in those cases where the veteran has been examined by a representative of the Department and approved for license issuance since his disability was incurred. Any \ veteran qualifying under either of the two cases as set for h above should forward VA- Form 4502 direct to the Motor Ve hicle Division of the State High way Department, being sure to call attention to the number of their current driver’s license and such form will be approved and prompt ly returned to the applicant. ' In all cases where the veteran has not been actually examined by a representative of the State Highway department since disabil ity was incurred and has failed to take advantage of the free driving instruction offered by the Federal Government during hpspitalization period and certified to the High way department accordingly, jt will be necessary that a personal ap pearance be made before a special representative of the Highway de partment for re-examination. The Highway depajrtmenit has arranged for the convenience of the veteran ;n demonstrating before a specially trained representative his ability to safely operate a motor vehicle which will insure approval of VA-Form 4502 foi purchase of free conveyance. Mr Hardeman points out that it will be, of course, the responsibility of the veteran to appear prepared for examination in a vehicle equip ped to compensate for his respec tive disability. T. C. Hutchinson of the State Highway department will be in Newberry on Saturday, November 2nd between the heurs of 9:00 a m. and 1:00 p. m., and 2:00 and 5;00 o. m., at the county court house to hold examinations for those dis abled veterans desiring to be ex amined. NOTIFY VA PROMPTLY CHANGE OF ADDRESS Veterans receiving benefit checks from the Veterans Administration today were urged to notify V/ promptly of any change of addres-' in order to receive their checks promptly. Edward B. Turner, manager of the VA regional office at Fort Jackson, pointed out that each month thousands of checks are re turned to the Treasury Department by the post office because veterans have moved without notifying VA of their new address. Leaving a forwarding address at the old residence is not sufficient. Turner pointed out. The VA itself must be notified. Federal law re quires the post office to deliver checks to the address printed on them, or else return them to the Treasury Department, where they are held until notified by VA of z new address. In South Carolina alone, a total of 162 checks were returned to the Treasury Department during Sep tember because veterans had not notified VA of a new address. ENSIGN W. C.

Yesterday he ran his legs off in all kinds of weather trying to be all over his yard at once. Today he sits in a glass-enclosed, air- conditioned tower sixty feet above the ground ... acres of tracks spread out before him. Through the magic of electronics he gives orders and instructions to switching crews and others throughout the yard... and the men can report back to him over this two-way communi cating system... thus speeding the “making up” into tiains of as many as 5,000 freight cars a day. Progress? You bet I Always on the alert for new methods... never taking anything for granted .. . we’re doing our best to provide the kind of mass transportation service that is so vital to the continued growth and prosperity of the South. Whether it’s pioneering with the first Diesel freight locomotive or building a tower for the “man with a 32- track mind,” the Southern Railway is...and will continue to be... a railway that is always looking for, and finding, better ways to “Serve the South."
