Gl Training Deadline
Less Than Year Away
Vets Must Enroll And
Begin Training By
August 20,1954
The deadline for starting training
■under the Korean GI Bill is less than
a year away for nearly 1,000,000 Ko
rean veterans, Veterans Adminfctra
tion announced.
The veterans are those who ser
ved since Korea, who were discharged
or separated before August 20, 1962,
and who have not yet taken advan
tage of the GI training benefit
Under the law, they actually must
“enroll in and begin” GI training by
August 20, 1964, in order to continue
afterwards. The mere filing of an
application beforehand, with an inten
tion of starting some time after that
date, is not enough, VA said.
VA emphasized that the 1954 cut- ]
off date applies only to post-Korean
veterans who left service before Au
gust 20, 1952. Those separated after
that date need not concm themselves
with the 11954 deadline. Instead, they
have two years from the time they
left the armed forces in which to get
started.
Generally, a veteran is expected to
be in the classroom or at the training
bench when his GI Bill cut-off date
comes around, if he wants to continue
beyond that time. But so long as c
he started before the deadline, there I
will be no objection if he’s not actual- 1
ly in training on the cut-off date be- c
cause of the normal summer vacation, *
or for other reasons beyond his con- *
trol, or for circumstances that VA
deems to be excusable. k
In fact, he even has the right to ?
suspend his GI training for as long as 1
a year—with part of the suspension
coming after the cut-off date—and
still be permitted to resume training j
afterwards. If he does, VA will con- y
sider that his failure to be in train
ing on the deadline date was for an
“excusable reason”. y
The veteran won’t be required to ac- c
count to VA for his absence. c
But if the suspension lasts for more
than a year ,the veteran will have to
show VA that the absence in excess •
of 12 months was caused by conditions J
beyond his control. In this case, he <
must have VA’s approval before he <
may go on with his Korean GI Bill <
studies. <
VA said that these cut-off date *
rules and regulations apply only to <
veterans training under the Korean <
GI Bill. They have nothing at all to <
do with those in training under the J
World War II Bill.
Os all the’people we have met, very <
few have not harbored the idea that <
they could write a newspaper column <
which would set the world on fire. <

At the beach a delighted father
watched his six-year-old daughter
make her first venture into the ocean.
He was amazed at her courage as she
advanced into the water. A tiny wave
dashed water all over her. The fath
er was about to go to her when she
stopped, turned around and raced to
her father’s side, sobbing as though
her heart would break.
“Oh, daddy, daddy,” she cried, “I’m

In the area around Wilmington,
commercial vegetable growers are
producing a crop which is relatively
new to this state. This is a species
of multiplier cotton known as shal
lots, or as some seed catalogs list
them, eschallottes.
Shallots are planted in August or
September as a fall crop and in the
extreme eastern part of the state also j
ir January or February as a spring j
crop. Single bulbs or sets are plant- I
ed just as with onion sets. As soon'
as growth begins the bulb splits up
into several plants connected at the
base like multiplier onions. These are
used or sold as green onions as soon
as they reach a desirable size. Shal
lots are milder than ordinary green
onions and are better adapted for fall
culture.
I believe they should be used more
generally in the future in home gar

“Life is like playing a violin solo

as one goes on”, wrote Bulwer-Lytten.
We meet strange, new experiences
through life. Os some we are fore
warned. Other experiences take us
by surprise and often dismay us. He
who has someone to turn to for un
derstanding and help is able to profit
by those experiences. The man or wo
man who stands bewildered and alone
is pitiful indeed. Wise is he who ear
ly forms a friendship with a Power
greater than himself to Whom he can
turn for comfort and strength when
he must face a new experience alone.

start you should allow enough of
them to mature to give you sufficient
sets for the following year.
If you are interested in trying shal
lots, I suggest that you write Dr. J.
M. Jenkins, Jr., Vegetable Research
Laboratory, Wilmington/ N. C., for
information as to the best source of
sets. The North Carolina crop is free
of diseases thus far and it is there
fore advisable to obtain sets from this
state.
I North Carolina Small
Grains Are Compared
t The results of North of
ficial small grain variety tests for
j 1952-53 have been reported by M. G.
] McKenzie, Jr., research instructor;
5 and W. H. Rankin, research associate
1 professor, both of State College.
' The objectives of the tests are to
obtain information on commercial va
rieties and to evaluate newer strains
, and varieties, according to the agron
' omists. Five field tests were conduct
. ed to represent the different soil and
, climatic conditions of the state. From
, similar tests conducted in the past,
it is possibly to predict varieties that
\ are most likely to produce consist
ently for 1953, as a result of these
tests, follows: ,
Mountains. Barley Colonial 2.
Oats—Forkdeer, and Arlington' (has
winter-killed in mountains during se
vere winters). Wheat —Thome.
Piedmont. Barley—Colonial 2 and
Davie. Oats—Arlington, Victor-grain
49193, Fulgrain and Fulwood. Wheat
—Anderson, Atlas 50, Atlas 66, Co
ker 47-27, Taylor (has fair mosaic re
sistance), and Chancellor and Thome
on mosaic land.
Coastal Plain. Barley—Colonial 2.
Oats —Arlington, Victor-grain 49-93,
Fulgrain and Fulwood. Wheat—An
derson (should be harvested early to
prevent excess weather damage to
grain), Atlas 50 (excels under heavy
mildew conditions), Atlas 66, and Co
ker 47-27.
DEPENDABILITY'

WHAT a striking example of
dependability is the surveyor!
With plumb-line, dad tap#
end tripod, he locates a dis
puted boundary within a frac
tion of an inch, or designates
the site of a skyscraper!
Careful observance of detail
and an atmosphere of raver-'

serve with dependability, and
thoughtful consideration _ b
time of need.

U. S. Army Develops
New Life-Saving Tactic
Washington—The Army Chemical
Corps developed the new back-pres
sure arm-lift technique for artificial
respiration.
Now adopted as a standard life
saving technique in the United States,
the method combines pressure on the
victim’s back with lifting motions of
his arms.
The American Red Cross which
. lias adopted the technique—considers
it the most effective means of restor
ing the breathing of persons in dan
ger of dea.th by drowning, hanging,
electrical shock and other causes.
The new technique—also called the
Holger Nielsen method—makes it pos
sible to press more than 1,000 cubic
centimeters of ajr into a victim with
each movement This is more than
twice the number of cubic eentimeters
estimated as possible under the old
method.
