Vets Achieve In
Many Fields
As the nation prepares to mark
Veterans Day next week-end,
Stanley Zuk, Manager, Columbia
VA Regional Office, today review
ed the achievements of South Car
olina’s 212,000 living veterans.
He found that veterans had es
tablished themselves in every
walk of life with an outstanding
record of adjustment to civilian
living—in the professions, the
skilled trades, business, industry,
farming, government.
This adjustment was made pos
sible to a great degree by the
benefits provided veterans by the
Congress, such as GI education
and training and GI loans.
Zuk emphasized that one of the
most interesting and heart-warm
ing facts was that large numbers
of disabled veterans, through VA
hospitalization and rehabilitation
are making their own way in the
world on the same terms as the
able-bodied, with no favors asked.
The following, Zuk said, weie
highlights of the record in South
Carolina:
More than 140,00 veterans have
prepared for new careers with the
help of the educational benefits
of the World War II and Korean
Conflict GI Bills.
Among these were engineers,
school teachers, doctors, dentists,
and nurses, and scientists. Man
power shortages which exist in
these fields today would be much
greater had it not been for these
veterans.
Gl-trained Veterans have helped
to raise the entire educational
level of the state, Zuk pointed out,
citing a- Census Bureau report that
.oday the average head of the
household has 10.4 years of
schooling as compared with only
9 years in 1950.
Two other VA programs—GI
loans and GI insurance—have as
sisted veterans in meeting the
challenge of readjustment to civ
ilian life, Zuk said.
Under the GI loan program
more than 30,500 veterans have
been able to put down roots by
purchasing homes of their own
with VA-guaranteed loans. Low-
cost GI life insurance has given
more than 58,000 veterans the
sense of security that comes in
preparing for the care of their
families should anything happen
to them.
South Carolina’s disabled vet
erans, fighting their way back to
productive, independent lives,
have been helped along the way by
VA benefits, such as hospital and
medical care, vocational rehabili
tation training, compensation and
pension payments and special
grants for- automobiles and care
fully designed “wheelchair homes.’
Some 8,480 disabled veterans re
ceived vocational rehabilitation
training. The great majority are
employed in fields using skills
acquired during training.
When the nation honors its vet
erans next week-end, i* will be
able to laud, not only their ex
ploits in war, but their determined
peacetime achievements, Mr. Zuk
said.
As we read the school reports
upon our children, we realize with
a sense of relief that can rise to
delight that—thank Heaven—no
body is reporting in this fashion
upon us.—J. B. Priestly.

THE BELL STILL SPEAKS
From the Catskill Mountain 1
Star, Saugerties, New York: \
There’s no question about it now j
—on its 85th anniversary—there’s
nothing like a bike!
Bicycles are for the young—and
for those who stay young. And in
May, America’s traditional “Bike
Month.” the two-wheelers hit an
all-time high in their four-score
years of unchallenged popularity
with 55 million of the chain-and-
sprocket set in the saddle across
the nation!
History has been made since the
first bike was turned out in Hart-,
ford, Conn., in 1877. The pneuma
tic tire was invented, then ball
bearings The automobile came
along, and received considerable
impetus from a couple of bicycle-
fanciers, Henry Ford and R. E.
Olds. After a great while a couple
of bicycle repair men, Wilbur and
Orville Wright, built the first air
plane that would fly.
“Bloomers’ were invented for
the benefit of the bicycle—which
led to the discovery that girls
have legs. Thus you may blame
tne bicycle (if you wish) for the
fact that these are currently dis
played in culottes, toreador pants,
pedal-pushers and shorts.
Bicycles are useful, too—for
fun, for physical fitness and for
rock-bottom economical transpor
tation. Bicycles are still launching
business careers—just as they did
a couple of generations ago—on
newspaper routes and delivery
jobs of all sorts. They take pounds
off—or put them on where needed
by promoting appetite and glow
ing health. And we’ve heard they
do things for figure control. Out
side of the old Six-Day Races, no
body ever rode a bike without
getting lots of fresh air.
Young riders, who are thinking
mostly about fun, will want copies
of the booklet “America's All-
Time Ten Best Bike Games,”
which bicycle dealers are giving
out free during May. Besides the
games, they contain the 12 basic
rules-cf-the-road, riding tips and
an inspection chart that every boy
and girl—and many father'd —will
want.
There’s nothing like a bike!
Think you can still ride one?
