which of the permanent plans suits
your future income and needs.

FIRST N. C. MILLS...Pictured
above is the first cotton textile mill
bnilt in North Carolina, the fore*
runner of what b today the stale’s
greatest industry. This “factory”
was boil)! in 1813 on a small stream
in Lincoln County by Michael
Sehenek. It was successfully oper
ated nntil it was horned during the
war between the states. At right is
a photograph of tjw old Alamance
mill, built in the early 1830's in
Alamance County by E. N. Holt
who is said to have manufactured
the first colored cotton cloth in the
cilities.
Q. I am eligible for hospitaliza
tion by the Veterans Administra
tion as an honorably discharged
veteran of World War II, but what
about emergencies" Where there"
'isn’t time f6r regular applications?
A. Hospitalization and treatment
by a private physician in an emer
gency will be paid for by the VA if
the veteran’s disability is service
connected. VA also pays for medi
cal treatment in emergencies if
the origin of the disability has not
been established, but it cannot be
responsible for further treatment
once the ailment is determined to
be non-service connected.
Q. What happens If a National
Service Life Insurance policy is
not converted from its original
form?
K A. Its protection will continue
as long as you keep the insurance
in force up to the time limit set
(8 years from time of issue if is
sued before January 1, 1946, 5
years if issued after that date. > If
not converted it will simply run
out with no further benefits just
as in the case of term policies
written by commercial insurance
companies.
Q. What is the top salary which
a veteran may draw in on-job
training under the G. I. Bill?
A. The Veterans Administration
simply states that the salary re
ceived plus the subsistence allow
ance cannot exceed the prevail
ing wage for the position foi
which you are in training. Some
states, in their approval of train
ing establishments, set a top limit,
such as $300 a month in Virginia,
but these are state, not VA, regu
lations.
Q. I want to take some kind of
vocational training under the G. I
Bill, but I can't decide what line
would be best for me to follow.
Does the Veterans Administration
help veterans in selecting courses?
■A- Yes. Get in touch with the
nearest VA contact representative
or Veterans Administration Guid
ance Center. Arrangements will be
made for you to have an interview
with a vocational adviser. He will
be able to give you several vo
cations in which adaptability tests
show you have • a good chance of
sucess. He also can tell you which
fields are overcrowded and which
offer good opportunities.
Q. I have heard that a veteran
who wants to become a farmer
can train under the G. I. Bill on
his own farm. Is this true?
A. Yes. To learn the details of
the plan as applied in your own
community, visit the nearest Vet
erans Administration contact of
fice or your county^ agricultural
adviser. It will be neciisary to ob
tain a certificate of eligibility from
VA as in other educational or job
training objectives.
Q. It was recently explained to
me that in buying a heme under a
G. I- Bill guarantee that I would
be charged four percent on the por
tion q| the loan guaranteed by the
Veterans Administration and a
higher rate on the remainder. Is
that correct?
A. No. The Servicemen’s Read
justment Act stipulates that no
loan guaranteed shall bear inter
est at more than four percent. That
means the entire loan.
Q. Can a veteran count service
in the Canadian Army in comput
ing eligibility for benefits under
the G. I. Bill?
A. Yes—if he is a resident of
the United States and has not re
ceived comparable benefits from
the Canadian Government. This
I
I
applies to United State citizens
serving in the armed forces of any
] government allied with the United
I States in World War II. I
