SECTION TWO— Gl Training Program Ends 25,1956 Maximum of Three Al lowed For Training Veterans Training programs for disabled World War II veterans must be com pleted by July 25,1956, under terms of Public Law 16, providing rehabilita tion training, Veterans Administration says. This fact, VA said, gives signifi cance to the month of July this year for veterans of World War II who may be eligible for such training but may not yet have started it. Veterans with a service connected disability who commence vocational training under provisions of Public Law 16 during the current month will thus have a maximum of three years’ training which they may be able to take, since none of that training may extend beyond the 1956 date. Disabled World War II veterans who have been planning to take this type of vocational training were ad vised to consult with officials at the nearest VA office about their plans. Veterans eligible for vocational re habilitation are those who have suf fered a service connected disability which has resulted in a handicap and a need for vocational training to over come the handicap resulting.

Guy Cassell,’ State College exten sion livestock marketing specialist points out that Eastern Carolina has many, advantages that can make it a leading feeder cattle area. With the shortage of storage facili ties, some farmers may not be able to take advantage of the support price on com. In that case, they may find it more profitable to market their com in the form of beef cattle on the hoof. With the. large amount of land that lies open in Eastern Carolina during the winter, farmers could seed it pro fitably to small grain for winter pas ture for beef cattle. The ever-grow ing supply of feeder cattle in North Carolina is an excellent source for Eastern Carolina feeders. .This year, more than 5,000 feeder rr OLD JHOMPSON BRAND rr —m V ...
