explained that more than 7.5 million
persons, who have been separated
from military service since Aug. 4,
1964, and some 2.1 million who were
on active duty May 7, 1975, are
entitled to full wartime benefits.
All persons who arc disabled in
service, regardless of entry date, will

?COMMISSIONERS?
Continued from page 1
(Emergency Operations Center) was
discussed.
Niven told the board he would be
attending a school in Boone next
week, for instruction on re-writing
die county plan.
In other business, die board
approved minor changes in the
school budget requested by
Superintendent G. Raz Aulry.
Shifts in funds were made in
instructional services, (for upkeep of
vehicle for audio visual director)
utilities, and capital outlay. The
changes did not affect the overall
budget amounts. Autry said.
In routine matters, the board
officially re-appointed the tax
collector and assistant and approved
the 1175 order for tax collections.
Barnhart was chosen by the board
, as the voting delegate to the annual
state convention for the association
of counties to be held July 31 -
August 3 in Asheville.
All members of the board except
J.A. Webb will attend the
convention, along with Lester. Lester
said.
After considerable discussion, the
commissioners chose Raeford
businessman Ivery McNair as delegate
to die Southeastern Development
Corporation (SEDC) board ot
directors.
A large number of names were
brought up by board members, but
there was general feeling most would
be reluctant to accept appointment
because of the necessity of making
out of town trips for meetings.
The board also approved a request
for a tax refund in the amount of
$74.46 to Eugene and Ruby Seaford
of Quewhiffle for Pinehill fire taxes
after determining the Seafords are
not in the Pinehill district. The
refund was ordered taken oui of the
Pinehill budget.
The board agreed to change the
'date of the next regular meeting
acting on a motion from
commissioner Tom McBrydc.
The next meeting will be August 7
at 9 A.M.
continue to receive compensation and
dependents' benefits on a par with
veterans of wartime service, but they
will not be eligible for nonservice
connected pensions, Johnson said.
Potential eligibility for persons
entering service after May 7 was
terminated by Presidential
proclamation for such benefits as
nonscrvice-connected disability
pensions for veterans, burial
allowances, and nonservice-connected
death pensions for widows and
surviving children of veterans.
The termination of wartime status
came more than 27 months after the
cessation of hostilities involving use ol
U.S. combat forces in Southeast Asia.
This extension of eligibility was longer
than in any prior war.
In terminating the Vietnam era. the
President also has asked die Congress
to end the eligibility period for Gl Bill
education and training benefits foi
persons who will be entering
peacetime voluntary military service
on or after July 1, 1975.
Existing laws permit the President
to terminate eligibility for certain
benefits tied to traditional wartime
service. Other benefits are linked tc
service dates established by Congress
The Presidential request pertain:
only to educational training earned
through a minimum of 181 continuous
days military service since Jan. 31
1955. Not included is vocational
rehabilitation training provided
veterans with service-connected
disabilities.
Unaffected by die Presidential
proclamation and the requested
Congressional action is Gl home loar
eligibility. The Veterans Housing Ad
of 1970 revived all expired, unused Gl
home loan entitlements and erasec
expiration dates on veterans
eligibility.
Subsequent home loans, where
previous loans were satisfied, and ar
increase from $12,500 to $17,500 ir
the maximum portion of the Gl loar
which VA can guarantee wa:
authorized last year. There is no limi
on the amount of the loan to which
the VA guarantee applies.
The Veterans Health Cart
Expansion Act of 1973 eliminated the
requirement for wartime service as ;
condition for eligibility for V /
medical care.
Fuel Costs
Drop Again
Carolina Power & Light Co. has
announced that the fossil fuel
adjustment charge on June bills will be
slightly lower than it was in May.
The June adjustment charge in
North Carolina will be just over a half
cent per kilowatt - hour (.616 cents
compared to .631 in May) or S6.I6
per thousand kilowatt - hours used.
The averagle CP&L residential
customer uses 60S kilowatt ? hours per
month.
The charge will be slightly lower in
South Carolina primarily due to a
difference in the way taxes are applied
in the two states.
According to CP&L, the June
charge is lower than May because the
price of coal burned has continued to
go down. The June charge is calculated
on the basis of the cost of fuel burned
during April.
The fossil fuel adjustment charge
reflects the cost of fuel over and above
what CP&L is allowed in its base rates
for fuel expense.
