STANLEY THE REPORTER, FOUND THE LOST ADVENTURER LIVINGSTONE IN UJUI, CENTRAL AFRICA Copyright 1946 by Q. C. Industry The Veteran’s Corner Can a veteran who gets a GI loan make a “side deal” with a real estate agent? What agency handles terminal leave pay? Are World War I veterans entitled to amputee care? These and many other questions reach VA contact representatives every day. Here are the answers to some of the questions most fre quently asked by veterans: Q. What is the procedure for setting up a farm training school in my community? — Ex-serviceman, Cullman, Alabama. A. A group of World War II vet erans should apply to their county agent, local vocational agriculture teacher or VA contact representa tive. Training officers of the Re gional VA office in Montgomery will also lend assistance in setting up a farm raining program. Q. Are veterans of World War If entitled to loans to buy trucks?— Thomas E. Murphy, R. F. D. No. 1, Wilson, Ark. A. Yes, if they are to be used for business purposes. Surplus military vehicles may be purchased through the War Assets Administra tion. Q. Is it true that a person in training under the G I Bill who works 64 hours a week is entitled to no more money ($175 a month if single, $200 if married) than a per son working 40 hours a week or less?—L. C. Toler, Memphis, Tenn. A. The Government sets no ceil ing on the amount a veteran in on- the-job training may earn from his employer. The Government, how ever, will not pay a veteran subsis tence when he earns $175 or more, Help On Building Farm Terraces Clemson, Oct. 21.—In 1945 about 1,000 South Carolina farmers receiv ed Government help under the Ag ricultural Conservation Program in terracing approximately 17,000 acres of cropland, says J. M. Napier, Clemson extension-AAA agent, re mind farmers that they can get this assistance in terracing in 1946. Experiment Station results and farmers’ experience prove that properly constructed terraces and good outlets improve crops, yields, and land values. The terraces slow water run-cff and prevent or reduce gullying and sheet erosion. Recognizing the extensive need for terraces in a large section of South Carolina and the expense ol their construction, the Federal Ag ricultural Conservation Program helps farmers to pay part of the costs. The Government’s share is approximately 80 percent of the cost of building the terraces. Information on obtaining aid for terracing may be had from county agents or from county triple-A of fices or committeemen. if single, or $200 or more, if mar ried, from his employer. Q. Are veterans who lost the use of one or two legs, at or above the ankle, after discharge entitled to amputee cars? — A Veteran, Amory, Mississippi. A. No. T be eligible a veter an must be entitled to disability compensation or retirement pay for the loss or loss of use of one or both legs at or above the ankle as the result of a service-connected injury. Q. Is a veteran of World War I who has one leg amputated in the line of duty entitled to an amputee car?—A veteran, Tutwiler, Miss. A. No. The appropriation was made for amputees of World War II. Q. How do I check on my ter minal leave pay from the VA?—A veteran, Macon, Ga. A. The Veterans Administration has no jurisdiction in terminal leave pay. VA representatives, however, have assisted numerous veterans in filling out their termi nal leave pay applications. Pay ments will be made directly by the War and Navy Departments. Q. I am about to buy a home with a GI loan. Am I permitted to make a side deal with the real estate agent to meet his price on the property?—A veteran, Spartan burg, S. C. A. No. A “side deal” is illegal under The Servicemen’s Readjust ment Act. VA is now taking legal action against violators. IRON TONIC T A K E ° YOUR DRUGGIST 111! # HAS IT A'l'M They are hand-picked members of the great Army Air Forces team — intelligent, skilled, aware of the vital importance of the , jobs they do. Above all else—more than the finest airplanes, more than all the best equip ment—the main factor in the glowing success of the Air Forces will always be its well- trained men. The all-important task of guarding the nation’s future in the air is entrusted to men of the very highest type. Tremendous strides made during war have placed the Army Air Forces at the frontier of scientific progress. Staying at the top carries with it an immense responsi bility. There can be no resting on laurels. The Air Forces must continue to stay in front. Improved design, greater engine power, new flight techniques, and the quest for supersonic speeds impose ever greater • demands upon the men whose job it is to keep the nation’s air strength at its peak, j That’s why, in peace as well as in war, many of America’s finest young men are f joining the Army Air Forces. They believe in the future. They are guarding it with spariding competence.
