VETERANS, TIIE WAR IS OVER.
If you are a veteran (and one out of every
10 people in the United States is) take heed.
If you arent a veteran you can listen in
on this because the chances are you are either
related to one, ar e acquainted with one or
work with one.
The war is over.
Congress, in official session, has declar
ed that the words “.July 25, 1917“ are to be
substituted for- the words "termination oi the
war” as they appear in Title V of the Ser vice
men’s Readjustment Allowance Act and that
those World War 11 veterans who wore dis
charged prior to July 2ii, 1917 will have until
July 25, 19)9 in winch to draw their allow
ances. Veterans discharged after July 25, 1947
will have two years fr om date of discharge to
take advantage of these unemployment bene
lilS.
Probably there are many who took ad
vantage of this privilege to draw $20 a week
unemployment compensation from the gov
ernment for a year and loafed. In so doing
they hurt themselves. They drew the money
and sat in the shade for a year until it ran
out, then found themselves out of touch with
the world of business and industry to the ex
tent of finding it hard to get back into the
swing when forced to return to work.
The deterrent to such an attitude was
supposed to have been the theory that "it will
be taken out of any possible future bonus.”
The “so-what” boys countered with the opin
ion that there wasn't going to be a bonus any
way and went their merry way.
Maybe there won’t be a bonus. That is a
question yet to be decided by some future
Congress.
And, if there is no bonus, then those
52/20 boys (twenty dollars a week for 52
weeks) will have been theoretically correct in
calling the men who went to work immediate
ly upon discharge a bunch of "suckers.”
But, to those who have pitched in and
done in the post-war era what they apparent
ly were used to doing during the conflict—

With livestock production becoming an Important part of agricultural
operations, many farmers are going in for Improved strains and greater
selection of breeding stock. Evidence of this trend will be seen at the
Carolinas Hampshire Classic which takes place at Salisbury, N. C.,
Aug. 22, and at the Georgia-Carolina Hampshire type conference to be
held at Orangeburg. S. C., Sept. 8 and 9. Shown here, Is part of the( ,
Grays Island herd located at Yemassee, S. C., whlch^la actively^par*,

LIVESTOCK breeders aud farmers

for habits change but 'seldom and they’re
probably the same men who carried the ball
in the service—we say this:
Even if there is no bonus—you will have,
deep inside, the inner satisfaction of know
ing that you faced in peace the obstacles to
your personal “reconversion” unflinchingly.
And you can believe that those men who
took the easy money (with no reflection in
tended on those forced into taking unemploy
ment compensation by lack of civilian train
ing, physical handicap or any other plausible
reason) for a year and then whined about un
fair treatment—were the same people who
shirked their duty in the service.
A "goldbrick” never changes.

“It is no vacation,” she said, >n
describing the work, “but it sure

us to learn more about our du

Members will be taught by reg

“There will be a movie shown
i*t the Peoples Theater during
the week of August 17th which
demonstrates several do’s and
dont’s’ of driving. All drivers
should make an effort to see this
film."
Continuing, Davis listed the fol
lowing four intersections as the
most dangerous “public enemies.”
Jackson and 10th streets,
scene of eight accidents;
Jackson and Fifth, seven* and
Hamilton and 10th and the
1100 block of Roanoke Ave
nue, with six each.
(Editor’s note: The city com
missioners have discussed placing
stop lights at several intersec
tions in the city, but no definite
action has been taken pending
further study by a committee.)
"Although these are fhe main
danger points, due to the heavy
flow of traffic, almost any other
I—
intersection in the c'lty is poten
tially just as dangerous, given
the proper- setting—the wrong
i ars being in the wrong place at
the right time. We mention these,
lour, however, because, in pro
dding the stage for 27 out of
our 53 smash-ups so far this
year, they have earned the du
nams distinction of having the
public's attention focused upon !
them as places of which to be- ?
ware," he concluded.
