a. i Vctcof;:J HI 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 Administra tion announced. The veterans are those who ser ved since Korea, who were discharged or separated before August 20, 1952, 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, 1954, in order to continue afterwards. The mere filing of ah 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 concrn 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 he started before the deadline, there will be no objection if he's not actual ly in training on the cut-off date be cause of the normal summer vacation, or .for other reasons beyond his con trol, or for circumstances that VA deems to be excusable. In fact, he even has the right to suspend his GI training for as long as a yearwith, part of the suspension coming after the cut-off date and still be permitted to resume training afterwards. If he does, VA will con sider that his failure to be in train ing on the deadline date was for an "excusable reason. The veteran won't be required to ac count to VA for his absence. 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 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 dgte 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 World War II Bill.

Dry Weather Brings Insurance Regrets . Many a North Carolina farmer is regretting the fact that he . turned down the opportunity to insure his crops last spring, but none are more woebegone than farmers in drought stricken Rockingham County, t T. D. Williamson, Negro county agent for the Agricultural Extension i Service, says farmers who attended a crop insurance meeting last spring ano found hundreds of excuses for not joining in a group insurance plan, are perhaps the hardest hit by the two-month-long drought "It's ironical,' says Williamson, "but it's true." Quite a few of the farmers who at tended the insurance meeting took ad vantage of the low cost of the group plan; he says. But many others found all kinds of excuses for not joining the group. V ' .: "Right now, after talking to these men," Williamson says, "it's hardly necessary to tell you what they wish they had done." -' ; ' - " He says those who took out the in surance are "elated over the fact that they can still take care of their crop expenses and have a few dollars left for other purposes;" ' "' ' But some farmers in Rockingham haven't been so hard hit by the drought, the farm agent says. He cites the case of Walter Williamson of the Haw River community. wjm LTjxruuui-tOj j AirU'U'uxruut- WyvYvwty it Vrr G-E ECONOMY.
