Program Lauded "Can you come over?” This is the most popular type Of all third and fourth graders make on the Teletrainer practice telephones when they are study tog “Telephone Conversations” in school, according to Mrs. Dorothy Williamson, School Rep resentative with Southern Bell here. As school bells ring for stu dents and teachers, they also Summon (Mrs. Williamson to a busy schedule of working with the schools in fourteen school systems in seven counties in the Gastonia District of Southern Bell. Almost ten years ago, the Bell System saw the real need for b. definitive program of teaching aids. These have been carefully developed on the advice of edu cators, and through their coop eration, and the total program was introduced in North Carolina schools last year. “We really just got to know aech other last year,” commented Mrs- Williamson, who presented the program at 94 meetings with 1,268 administrators, principals, and teachers. "We are excited about the prospect of what can fee done in this new school year,” she added. Materials are available to sup plement classroom work at' all levels from first through twelfth grades. Special emphasis is plac ed on language arts, social stud ies and science in the prirhary and elementary grades. 1 Films, film-strips, teacher manuals and student booklets are supplied at the request of the schools. At the secondary level, more advan ced material is available for En glish and Speech and the Busi ness Studies, including Distribu tive Education and Office Prac Central to this broad program is the Teletrainer. Neatly hous ed in two luggage type cases are a control unit and two practice telephones. When set up in a classroom 'and plugged into a regular electric outlet it is pos sible to simulate normal tele phone calls. The control unit en ables the “operator”, usually a student, to provide dial tone, a busy signal, or ringing of either practice telephone. A built-in speaker enables the entire group to hear the conversation and par ticipate irf evaluation of the han dling of the calls. The Teletrain er also is wired to provide for connection with a tape-recorder where one is available. This en ables later reference to particu lar calls, as well as a means of determining where improvement has been made. “We are delighted to be able to offer this equipment for use throughout our area,” F. B. Houck, Southern Bell’s Gastonia District Manager said, "and I have been especially pleased by the enthusiasm displayed wher ever the Teletraining program has been used." Mr. Houck point ed out that Southern Bell pro vides all of the Teletraining materials to the schools without charge, recognizing that this is a community service froth which everyone benefits. “Mrs. Wil liamson compares Teletraining to driver education,” said Mr. Houck, “in that both are the learning of skills necessary for the success ful use of tools in our modem aige, Communication is impor tant in family and community living, and I think you’ll agree the telephone is an important means of communication.” A native of Ohio, Mrs. Wil liamson began her telephone ca reer with the Ohio Bell Company and has held assignments in Washington, D. C;, York, South Carolina, and Charlotte. HAY-FEVER SINUS Sufferers Here’s good news for you!

For their team work effort, the 4-H’ers have chosen the theme, "Join 4-H: A World of Opportunity,” according to Dr. T. C. Blalock, state 4-H Club leader at North Carolina State University. The focus on Nation al 4-H Club Week comes annual ly across thd country as 4-H members complete their year’s work and start their new pro grams, Blalock remarks.

"One aim of the 4-H program is to help boys and girls explore career possibilities,” notes Bla lock. “Not just those youth go ing into agriculture, but those boys and /girls choosing other occupations. "Greater stress is being placed on your problems such as educa tion, jobs, personal values and goals, regardless of wheteher the club member lives on a farm, in a town or city or the surburbs,” the state 4-H Club leader continu ed. The 4-H program is part of the national educational system of the Cooperative Extension Serv ice in which the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, State Land Grant Universities and local counties share.

The Veterans Comer Q—I presently have a loan on my 30-Pay Life National Service Life Insurance Policy- Is It pos sible to make an additional loan on this policy? A—The amount you may bor row is limited to 94 per cent of the present cash value of your policy. If your present loan is in an amount less than 94 per cent of the cash value, you may make an additional loan up to that limit. Q—I was in service from Oc tober 1953 to September 1957. I plan to purchase a home with a GI loan. I have heard something about a funding fee. What is this? A—This applies only to vet erans who have eligibility for GI loan arising oiit of military ser vice performed since January 31, 1955. These veterans must pay a fee of one-half of one per cent of the amount of the loan to the lender. The lender then submits It to the VA. Since you had ser vice during the Korean Conflict period, you will not be required to pay this fee. Q—My husband, a World War by North Carolina State Univer sity and the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service through coun ty agricultural and home econo mics agents. ti veteran, dtea i <Mp» plfed for tl*e j&todeeds of his Na tional Service Life Insurance, only to be informed by the Vet erans Administration that I was not the beneficiary. I need this money badly as I have three chil dren to support and educate. Is this money lost to me? A—It may be. The VA must pay the proceeds of NSLI policies ot the beneficiary last designated by the insured, even when this results in an obvious inequity. It is sad but true that many vet erans neglect to keep this bene ficiary designation up to date. In your case the situation can be resolved in your favor only if the named beneficiary recognizes the unfairness and can be persuaded to assign all or part of the pro ceeds to you.
