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.

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.
