Schooling Boles
1 Former GI Bill veteran-train
ees who returned to active mill
tary duty were reminded by the
Veterans Administration that
they ihave little time to lose, in
case they want to resume their
GI studies after discharge.
Under VA regulations, they
must resume ? their, training
within a reasonable period after
their release from active duty.
That "reasonable period," VA
said, wjll he based on the ciri
eu mstances of each veteran's
case, and will depend on the
kind of training he is taking and
a number of other factors. '
These regulations apply to
veterans affected by the July 25,
1951, cut-off date for entering
training, who had previously
been in training undfcr the GI
Bill, hut who were un?bl<* to be
enrolled" at that time because of
re -en trance into military service.
Veterans were advised to
make their training plans early,
rather than wait for the last
minute. Thip way, VA said, they
may avoid the disappontment of
missing out altogether.
VA also reminded veterans of
three requirements that must be
met in order to take post-cut-off
date training after military ser
vice:
I. Conduct and progress Of
their previous Gr Bill courses
must have been satisfactory^
? 2. The amount or training they
may get after discharge will be
limited by their remaining GI
Bill entitlement.
3. Their courses may not ex
tend beyond. the wind-up of the
GI Bill program on July 25, 1956.

The Young Women's Auxilary
of Mt. Zlon Baptist church will

First Baptist church of the city.
Everybody is invited to come. The
hour is Sunday Feb. 3 at 2:30

Traffic Fine Upsets
Dr. W. P. Gerberdlng
GASTONIA? The Rev. W. P.
Gerberdlng, pastor of St. Mat
thews' Evangelical Lutheran
church in Kings Mountain, is
quite' Upset over an $11 fine he
had to pay at the Gastonia police
department recently.
The Lutheran minister was cit
ed by Patrolman R. G. Brittaln
lor passing a stopped school bus
on Franklin Avenue. But the Rev.
Mr. Gerberdlng thinks that the
charge and the fine were unfair.
' Here was the situation:
He was driving west on Frank
lin Avenue in the outside lane,
intent on watching traffic and
signal lights. He stopped for a
light at a busy corner of the foui>
lane boulevard. "When the light
turned green, he proceeded on his
way and was halted within a
block by Patrolman Brittaln.
Shool Bu* Stopped
It seems that a bus owned by
the Catholic church had been
stopped across the street from
Mr. Gerberding's car. It was head
ed in the opposite direction and
school children were alighting
from it on the sidewalk side. The
minister claims that he did not
see the bus and had no reason
to be looking for it, because "it's
bad enough trying to watch all
the traffic and signal lights."
He went on to say that his
friends at the Kings Mountain
Klwanls club and one attorney
with whom he talked agreed that
the charge and fine were not Jus
tified.
He said furthermore that he
and his wile have done consider
able shopping in Gastonia but
that if innocent and careful driv
ers are going to be fined to fatten
the city's treasury, they will re
frain from doing so in the future.
LOOK UP LAW
; The minister's letter caused
quite a bit of discussion at the
police department. It was pointed
out that public school busses do
not ordinarily stop on heavily
traveled Franklin Avenue to dis
charge or take on school children
Judge Julius Sanders, looked up
the law and found that it pertains
to any street or highway, inside
or outside the city limits, and
that It applies to church and Sun
day school busses, as well, If they
are properly marked.
But he observed that it woul^,
be difficylt to observe a bus
