SECTION TWO—: Large Number Os Vets In Training —. I' New Applications Come In at Rate of 35,000 Per Month ' One out of every six post-Korea veterans in America today has trained at some time or other under the 18-1 month-old Korea GI Bill, a Veterans, Administration survey disclosed. The 377,000 Korea GI Bill trainees enrolled for courses ranging from ac celerated grade school work to post-1 graduate college study. More than half of the trainees, or nearly 192,000, attended colleges and universities. , Another 30 per cent, or about 117,-1 000 enrolled in schools below the col-! lege level. Trade and vocational courses were the most popular types of below-college schooling, accounting! for nearly 69,000 veterans. More than 23,000 enrolled in grade schools and j high schools; 19,000 selected business, schools, and 5,700 took their training: in correspondence schools. Veterans who trained on-the-job un der the Korea GI Bill numbered nearly 56,000. Nearly two-thirds of these were in apprenticeship programs. The rest were taking other forms of job training. Approximately 13,000 veterans were ( enrolled in institutional on-farm train ing programs—a combination of class room study with actual experience on the farm. New applications for training from post-Korea veterans are coming into VA Regional Offices at the rate of < 35.000 a month, VA said. !' The nation’s population of veterans 1 with service since the outbreak of Korean fighting now stands at near ly 2,500,000. | WeeWv Devotional] Column Rv T-VMES MacKlnztf | * Vance Havner tells us that he has found a deep understanding of the Bible, and a clear perception of spir- ; itual things, among humble folk, un taught in schools, which cultured scholars utterly miss. For the Bible is not like other books; it is best un-j derstood by the heart, not the head. The Holy Spirit is the Author of the Bible, and He is the best interpreter of His own Book. “Eye hath not seen,: nor . ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the: things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit” (I Corinthians 2:9-10). The Bible is God’s final and com plete Weird to , men; It. contains all that i> .-'necessary for us to know , about. Him, It, is a terrible sin to deny that any part of the Bible is | the Word of God. It is an even worse ] sin to add to the Bible the vain tra- i ditions and foolish opinions of falli- ! hie, finite, sinful men, The Chris- j tian's rule of faith and practice is; "The Bible, the whole Bible, and noth ing but the Bible ” No Christian niin-| ister is worthy of his calling unless ’ I he can honestly say, with Alexander | i Campbell, “Where the Bible speaks, I speak. Where the Bible is silent, I am silent.” The best rule for understanding the, Bible I know of was written by an 1 English scholar some three hundred , hetease your mm CORN YIELDS mm »h.

A. ! Stephen, ten beekeepers were visited lon Wednesday of last week. Bees are collecting much pollen and some i ! colonies to store honey. Colonies gen- I erally were in good condition but many of them were ready for attention. I It is very important that beekeep ! ers check each colony to see that it j has a queen. Most of the colonies | checked had six to eight frames of| young breed which indicates the pres-: ■ ence of a good queen and proper ac-| tivity. j There are about 29 backyard bee ; keepers in Chowan County. It is very ! interesting as a hobby. A good honey | supply is produced for home use and often some for sale or to give friends. Bees are wonderful pollinators and j help increase yields of our crops, par ' ticularly vegetables. Easter Bunnies Make i Gay Party Favors If you are planning a children’s Easter party, here are two bright ideas for decorations or favors. Little bunnnies made of absorbent cotton are appropriate for either in- I dividual favors or grouped in a table centerpiece. Each little bunny is made . of two wads of absorbent cotton taped I together. The upper wad is smaller for the rabbit’s head, and the lower wad. larger for his body. Use pink | crepe paper to make a collar and long ears fastened on with cellophane tape. Attach three little dots on the face for eyes and nose. A different kind of bunny can be made with an egg. Attach a fluffy : tail of absorbent cotton with trans parent tape, made into a little circlet with the sticky side out. Shape ears of stiff paper—any color—and attach with clear tape. Paint in the eyes, nose, and whiskers. Set the egg into a nest of Easter grass sprinkled with •'•’v flowers, and the result is a pert little “cotton tail.” Not The Record Champ What’s my temperature.
