THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1948 Vets ■ ■ ■ Corner Will the Veterans Administra tion pay lor tools used in job training? Can a veteran get medical information from VA regarding his disability? Here are the answers to these and other questions that veterans regularly ask VA con tact representatives: Q. I am a disabled veteran of World War II and would like to know if I can be given a statement of my disability? A. Information from your fol der regarding your disability may be furnished you when, in the judgment of the Admini strator of Veterans Affairs, it would not be injurious to your physical or mental health. Your private physician may obtain from VA, upon written request, any information concerning your condition which he requires to treat you. Q. Will the VA pay for tools and equipment while I am tak ing on-the-job training? A. VA will pay for those tools and equipment that are needed by all trainees for the satisfac tory pursuit of the same train ing course. Q. Will VA pay tuition for a veteran to attend school while he is taking on-the-job training under the G-I Bill? A. Yes, the Veterans Admini stration will pay for such schooling if his course of study is related to the vocation for which he is in training, or if the school course is prescribed and recommended as a part of his job-training. Q. What should the veteran do if he is not satisfied with the job-training he receives? A That is a matter for the veteran to decide himself, but it might be advisable for him to seek counsel of a VA train ing officer. He can always dis continue his training, or with VA’s permission, he can switch to another training establish ment. F. F. A. Founded 20 Years Ago In South Carolina This week—February 21-27— the nation is celebrating Nation al Future Farmers Week, hon oring the organization of farm youths, the “future farmers of today who are the successful farmers of tomorrow” who are marking their 20th aniversary this year. Governor J. Strom Thurmond has proclaimed Feb ruary 21-27 “Future Farmer Week” in South Carolina. The major purposes of the F. F. A. are to develop leadership, cooperation, citizenship, improv ed agriculture and patriotism. The national organization in cludes chartered State Associa tions composed of local chap ters situated only in public high schools having departments of vocational agriculture. There are four degrees of active mem bership—“Green Hand,” ‘Chap ter Farmer”, “State Farmer” and “American Farmer”. Ad vancement through these grades of membership is based on achievement in vocational agri culture and progressive estab lishment in farming. The real start of F. F. A. came back in 1918 after the passage of the Smith-Hughes act which provided federal funds to assist local schools in providing vocational education instruction. As that program became known many schools hired vocational agriculture in structors and started courses for farm boys who wanted to learn more about farming while they were attending high school. As these agriculture classes were organized the boys taking the agriculture courses saw that they had common in terests and began forming ‘ag riculture groups and other local organizations with a wide var iety of names. (Veterans wishing further in formation about veterans’ bene fits may have their questions personally answered by visitihg the Newberry Contact office at 1216 College street.)

Following the founding of the National organization of the F. F. A. in 1928, the South Caro lina organization joined it. The state organization has been known as the S. C. Association of Future Farmers of America. South Carolina sent delegates to the first Future Farmer con vention held at Kansas City in November, 1928.

SENATE PASSES BILL FOR LIBRARY SERVICE The Federal Library demon stration bill which provides for demonstrations of rural library service in every state of the. Union was passed by the U. S. Senate on the 25th of Febru ary. If the bill passes the House and becomes a law, great things are in store for the people of South Carolina. Passage of the bill will mean 714,019 South Carolina citizens now without access to public library facilities will have a chance to learn what free libra ry service is like. Under the terms of the bill, the federal government will make grants of $25,000 a year for five years to the state for the purpose of setting up dem onstrations of library service in areas where it is lacking or in adequate. In addition, the federal government will match state funds for library service up to $75,000. Thus it is pos sible that South Carolina could have up to $175,000 to put on demonstrations of good public library service and to show how it can be maintained on a permannent basis at a low cost and son.

It gives me needed advice on family problems and anxieties. It provides me with recreation. It gives me advice on government benefits and pension adjustments. Best of all, it bolsters my morale—a guy needs encouragement sometimes. may not be a headliner now, but the Red Cross hasn’t forgotten me. You won’t forget the Red Cross, will you?
