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.)

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

.About three years ago, you heard a lot about me when
Okinawa was a big name in the newspapers.
I’m still laid up with wounds suffered there,
but I’m coming along fine, thank you.
Besides, the Red Cross is helping ms
out in so many different ways, too.
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

So give—all you can
