Repeating charges made in
his book, Yette said: “We stand
at a difficult time. We stand
where the Jews of Nazi Ger
many once stood.
“As the decades of the 1970’s
broke open, the countrj was
officially bu‘ unconstitutional
ly engaged in two wars -- one
against the colonized colored
people of In io China and one
against the colonized black
people of th° United States.’’
"We are the soul o f a police
state,’’ Yette said. "The theo
retical America of the Decla
ration of Independency and
Constitu‘ion baa been under
mined.”
He said he could draw a man -
ber of parallels Itetw 'en where
pie are educated to this pro
blem their awareness can help
to bring about a halt to this
problem.
Please help us in the fight
against pollution. Do your part
to make the community aware
of the problem and its solu
tions. Become aware through
involvement, and make others
aware through action.

First stop was Lamo.i Street

grass to the deer and goats.
They watched the peacocks,
monkeys, donkeys and other

sliding down the slides, and
playing on the merry-go-round

THE CAROLINIAN
RALEIGH, N. C„ SATURDAY. MAY 8. 1971
Over One Millon Veterans
Job-Training Or In Schools
There are now more than one
million veterans job-training or
enrolled in schools and colleges
under the current G. I. Bill.
Administrator of Veterans
Affairs Dona'ld E. Johnson re
vealed that 1,064,000 men and
women are in training under
the G I. Bill. He pointed out this
is an Increase of 36 per cent
over last year, 70 per cent over
the level two years ago, and 240
per cent over 1966. By the end
of 1972, Johnson said the
Veterans Administration ex
pects the G. I. Bill monthly u
tilization to reach 1.8 million.
Os the 1,064,000, more than 60
per cent are enrolled In college
level studies.
The current G. I. Bill is not
quite five years old, Johnson
said, and pointed out that more
than 2.4 million veterans have
already trained under it, ex
ceeding the 2.3 million high
reached during the 14 years of
the Korean Conflict G. I. Bill.
The current G. I. Bill has
provided training for nearly
20,000 veterans enrolled in po
lice and fire department on-job
♦ raining programs throughout
the country.
Separations from military
service have been running about
90,000 a month and, since last
fall, VA has been receiving
about 75,000 applications
monthly for G, I. Bill training.
Johnson urged eligible veterans
and servicemen interested in
schooling or job-training to
contact their nearest VA office,
or their local veterans service
organization representative.
