Urges Supervision
Of School Pr-gram
By Its recent protest to the
Veterans administration against
what it charged is a lack 3 1
adequate supervision of educa
tion and training of former ser
vicemen under the GI Bill, the
North Carolina Veterans com
mission led the ilray in pointing
out the dangers of exploitation
in the nation-wide veterans pro
gram.
Without proper supervision,
the program Is in danger of
being discontinued or drastical
ly curtailed, the North Carolina
commission said.
"We have been justifiably j
proud of the entire veterans
program in this state up to I
now", the commission wrote
North Carolina senators and
congressmen, R. S. Hulme, of
Asheville, the commission's dis- ,
trict officer, reported. "'How- ;
ever we view with much con
cern the misuse and deteriora
tion which inevitably will result
without supervision of some
kind." |
The commission urged the
Veterans administration "to re- |
view its decision to abandon the .
responsibility 1 of supervision of j
the on-the-job training and ed- |
ucational program .... and |
that such responsibility be re- ]
sumed immediately".

the Jeep does it
THE UNIVERSAL Jeep DOES MORE FOR
THE FARMER THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE
? With 4-wheel drive for traction and steady pulling
power in the field, the "Jeep" has a drawbar pull of
1200 lbs., operates almost any standard tilling or har
vesting implement. Rear power-take-off runs power
driven implements from standard spline shaft drive.
? The "Jeep" can be used with the latest development
in modern farming? a new hydraulic lift that raises,
lowers or adjusts depth of implement while the oper
ator remains comfortably seated. And of course it
handles conventional pull-type implements, too.
?
? The Universal "Jeep" is for hauling and towing on
or off the road in all kinds of weather. It carries up
to 1200 pounds, pulls a braked load of 2% tons at
highway speeds.
? It provides mobile power anywhere on the farm,
for operating many types of power-driven equipment
such as separators, feed grinders, buzz saws, hammer
mills, ensilage cutters and numerous others^
This message gives but a glimpse of the all-around, year-'round
usefulness of the Universal "Jeep". We invite you to see this
versatile vehicle in action and let us prove that it does more
I , different jobs than any other single farm vehicle. Call for a *
