Subsistence Allowance And Ceiling
Limifations Laws Are Clarified
' The State Department of Ve.
terans ervice has undertaken &
clarification of the new laws pass
ed by the Congress governing
subsistence allowance and ceiling
limitations for veterans wh, are !
in training under the Gi Bill of
Rights. Director C_ Arthur Cheat- 1
ham observed, releasing the re
port, that the new regulations are
so complicated that a great num
ber of news stories about them—
even those in Washington — have
’been misinterprdted. i
“One of the most important
changes in the law,” he said, “is
one that has very largely been
overlooked. This is the new regu. |
lation which restricts (‘omputa-}
tion of income to wages earned
during the standard work week.l
In other words, overtime need |
not be included as part of regular

income in figuring subsistence
for trainees any longer.
“Another point is that cgilings,
as such, do not put a limit on
the amount of wages a veteran
! may earn. The ceiling only limits
the amount of subsistence which
, a veteran may receive in addition
to regular wages earned by em
ployment, exclusive of overtime.”
Gives Analysis
The Dept. of Veterans Service
analysis follows, in full:
‘' CEILING — (regular salary or
,wages plus, subsistence): $2lO
per month for a veteran.trainee
| without dependents; $270 per
month for a veteran-trainee with
{one dependent and $290 per
month for a veteran-trainee with
tw,"or more dependents. The law
specifically forbids a veteran
trainee to receive higher renum
eration (training wage plus sub
sistence allowance) than the pay
he will receive when fully train
i ed. Therefore, if the occupation
| for which a veteran-trainee is
studying has a lower pay-scale
than these ceilings, the amount of
subsistence will be governed by
{the lower figure, When a vete
| ran-trainee’s wage, plus his sub
’sistence, exceed either the new
i ceiling or the pay-scale of the,
job for which he is training. his
Isusbsistence allowance will "be
| reduced proportionately.
| SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCES
| -———No increase in subsistence al
j lowances for on-the-fob trainees
| has been provided. They remain
ac follows: $65 per month for a
veteran-trainee without depend
ents and S9O per month if he has
dependents. This governs vete
| rans who are strictly on-the-job
trainees.
I Veterans attending full time
education institutions may now
receive $75 per month if they
moo TR N
‘rmonth if they have ohe depend.
haveli more than one dependent.
' Vuoterans who are attending
eductational ingtitutions, part
time, such as on-the-fram train
ces, leceive increases “In their
subsistience allowances in pro
portior to the amount of time they
spend in the class room. Such
veterans must be receiving at
least an amount of class room in
strucion equivalent to one-fourth
of .a ' standard full-time school
course. ;
Important Point
“This is a very important
point,” 'Cheatham emphasized.
“A veteran who owns or operates
his own farm must receive a min
imum of 300 hours of instruction
per year to be eligible for sub
sistance as all. He must spend at
least 200 hours in. the class-room
and take 100 hours of instruction
on the farm. A veteran who is
being trained om the farm of a
farmer-trainer, must receive a
minimum of 250 hours of instrue
tion per year (200 hours in the
class room and 50 hours on the
farm).
“Under the new subsistence al
lowances law, a veteran.trainee
who receives @ minimum of 300
hours of class room instruction
per vear will receive an increase
equal to one-fourth of the dif
ference between old subsistence
rates and the new ones.” \
Cheatham said the . Veterans
Administration will require proof
of dependency in certain cases
from. veterans affected by the
higher subsistence rates. Informa
‘tion will be requested by the
VA, he said and should be sup
plied before September 1, then
Ithe increased benefits are retro
iactive to April 1, this year.

Zoning Regulation Is Discussed
In Article By Dr. J, C. Meadows
BY J. C. MEADOWS *
Zoning is a regulatior/ by
statute or local ordinance of the
use and occupancy of land in
urban areas. A zoning regulation
usually sub-divides the phiysical
areas of a city into specific
zones or districts and deterrnines
whether the land in each district
and the buildings constructed
upon it shall be devoted p'~imar
ily or exclusively to mercantile,
industrial or residential uses.
Zoning regulations may lay down
specifications for the design and
construction of buildings @in each‘
district. The Supreme Court of
the United States has ‘upheld
zoning ordinances as a legi'timate]
exercise of police power. |
At the heart of a well zoned
cemmunity is the business dis
trict with” its department stores,
clothing ~ shops, jewelry stores,
furniture stores, five and ten
cent stores, theatres, banks, and
offices, Near this business cen
ter usually stands the city hall,
the county courthouse, and post
office. 1 all]
The areas along the railroad
tracks in either direction, and
along rivers and large bodies of
water, if any, are zoned for
wholesale establishments, ~ mills
and manufacturing plants, ware
houses and machine shops 6f all
kinds, These areas are usually
the least desirable of any in the
city and have relatively low
land value. Since the general
public will have little or no oc
casion to visit these areas, it is
the part of wisdom that they be
zoned for industry. 3
Surrounding the business and
industrial sections are the resi
dential neighborhoods where the
citizens of the community have
their homes. In well zoned com
munities the homes are spread
out and yards are large. Modern
landscaping adds a quiet dignity
that tends 1o make residential
areas places for living that have
dignity and distinction. Near thc
homes are located the schools
and churches, playgrounds anc
parks, and neighborhood grocery
stores which serve’ the daily
needs of the resident. :

causes change. When a commun
ity grows it fills up first in the
inner positions, and as these
areas become filled they over
flow into the outskirts. Some
time the industrial area grows
so much that it spreads out into
residential areas. The smoke,
‘ldirt, odors and the noise make
nearby residential areas unpleas
ant and unhealthful places in
‘which to live. The neighbor
hood then beginsg to decay and
becomes a blighted area.
The growth of Athens has
been slow through the years, and
the encroachment on the residen
tial section has been less than
that found in faster growing'
cities. Athens, however, has suf
fered from the lack of adequate
overall zoning regulations. Dur
ing the past 20 years there have
been many disturbances of res
idential areas by the attempt of
some business firm to place ani
industrial establishment in what‘
had been for years a quiet resi
dential neighborhood, The eter
nal vigilance of the residents of
Athens, through the constant
daily watching of the newspapers
and the meetings of the City
Council, has been able to pre
vent the destruction of many
quiet neighborhoods. But in
some instances the wishes of the
residents have been ignored by
the Mayor and City Council, and
desirable residential areas have
been blighted by spot zoning of
residential sections for some in
dustrialist who was able to
bring = more pressure on the
council than the unorganized
residents could bring. Examples
of this are to be found in Athens
in the filling station on Lump
kin Street, the King Avenue silk
'mill, Instead of spot zoning in
residential areas of various cor
‘ners which appeal to industrial
ists, it seems that it would be
the ‘part of wisdom for the city
authorities to have made a thor
ough study of the city and adopt
n overall zoning program for a
neriods of years. This would re
move the constant worry anq
oncern of home owners who
rave bought homes in what they
thought was a dignified, quiet
residential section, only to findi
that the pressure of business is
attempting to ruin it as a neigh
borhood of quiet homes.
Zoning of Athens for the next
twenty-five years would not be
too difficult, It took 150 years
for the community to grow to be
a city of 20,000 people. The in
crease in the population of Ath
ens between 1930 and 1940 was
2,458 or 13.5 percent. Between
1920 and 1930 the percent of pop
ulation growth was 8.6 percent.
The estimated population of
Athens as of July 1, 1947, by the
;Federal government is 24,400
(16,400 white and 8,000 colored).l
iThis is an increase in population
‘since 1940 of less than 20 per
‘cent, Since most of the building
construction of Athens will be
idone by the white population,
Athens, ¢ for this purpose, i§ a
Icity of 16,400 people, :
| Industries Small '’
Approximately 500 industrial
plants located in Georgia in
11947, About 50 percent of these
Jocated in towns with a popula
tion under 10,000 and approxi
mately 40 percent Ilocated in
towns of under 5,000 population.
lOnly 17 percent of the industries
which located in Georgia in 1947,
located in cities the size of Ath
ens. Most of the industries which
are coming to Georgia are small.
According to the Agricultural In
dustrial and Development Board
of Georgia, 84 percent of the in
dustries which located in Geor
gia in 1947 work less than 50
employees. G
Athens is noted as the seat of
the University of Georgia. It is
famous for its pattern of culture,
for its schools and churches, and
its beautiful residences. The sac
rifice of any of these for busi- |
ness and industry would be]
costly beyond expression. Thel
worth-whileness of Athensg is in
the fact that it is a desirable|
community in which to live. Itsl
future lies in these things mther]
than in its filling stations,
branch laundries, and machine
shops. There is little basis for‘
expecting that Athens. will ever
be a metropolitan center of com
merce and industry, Athens is
surrounded b,} poor soil, little or
no timber, and no important min
eral resources. In the field of
trade it is hedged in by Macon,
Augusta and Atlanta and, al
though it has five railroads, it
has no major trunk line. In view
of these facts it is rather obvi- |

NEW YORK — (AP)—What
kingd of a figure did the Face On
the Barroom Floor have?
Who really put Pussy in the
Well? Who mowed down Cock
Robin and why? Where’s Elmer?
These are celebrated mysteries
still left unsolved by the repor
ted discovery of Jesse James
alive and well in Oklahoma at
the age of 100—and drawing
more interest than he ever got
from a bank.
It is a dull year indeed when
somebody doesn’t revive the fa
mous Missouri outlaw, and it is
cnly recently that doubles for
Johin Wilkes Booth, the man who
shot Lincoln, quit reappearing.
Rooth would be 110 years old now
and entitled to a lot of back pay
ments on his old age pension.
The time is ripe for Congress
to set Uup a permanent commission
to investigate all the popular
puzzles that rise again and again
to worry a peaceful people.
Let’s Find Out _
Let’s get rid of these uncer
tainties. Where is Elmer indeed?
Did the Face on the Barroom
Floor have piano legs? Why do
we have to go on . wondering
what became of Sally? Who real
ly did pay the rent for Mrs. Rip
Van Winkle while her husband
was grabbing his long shut-eye?
Let’s don’t just jest about why
ithe Chicken Crossed the Road.
Let’s find out.
There are enough of these un.
solved, vexing riddles to keep a
congressional investigating com
mittec busy forever. An ideal
counsel for the committee would
be Jim Moran, the first man in
history to sit on an ostrich egg
and hatch it single-handed bv the
warmth of his own personality.
Moran boasts he also is the first
man to sell an icebox to an Es
kimo and find a needle in a hay-
ous that our greatest opportu
nity and challenge lie in the
development of Athens as a res
idential community where life is
lived at its best.
Drive,* you've got the liquid- -
smooth magic of a new kind of
drive where the power plant does
what gearsused to do—where you
move swiftly from standstill to..
speed without a gear ever shifting.
So why hold back from making
a dream come true for you and.
the family? See your Buick dealer
now, with or without a car to
trade. The sooner you give him
your firm order, the sooner your
family’s motoring spree starts! -

Problems Aplenty

Irish vote in an election year.
Can’t Congress find out after
all these years “Wha “broke the

Last of the Mohicans? Where are

far?
All these questions Congress
has avoided for yéars. But I can
save the committeé the trouble of
exploring one moosey problem —
what happened to vaudeville.
