THE VETERANS
CORNER
Here are authoritative answers
firom the Veterans Admin stra
tion to foui’ questions of interest
to former servicemen and their
families:
Q. I'm planning to take farm
training under the Korean GI
Bill, but I found out I’ll have to
pay S3O a month tuition. Why
the difference?
A. Your cousin trained under
the World War II GI Bill; you
will be training under the Korean
GI Bill. They are separate laws,
and each operates differently.
Under the Korean GI Bill, you
pay all training expenses your
self. But you get a single mon
thly allowance to help do this.
Under the World War II GI Bill,
the VA paid a veteran’s train
ing costs.
Q. My husband was killed in
Korea, and I’ve been receiving
monthly indemnity payments of
if I remarry?
A. No. Remarriage will not
bar your continued entitlement
to the indemnity payments.
Q. I am a Korean Veteran and
; Tm thinking of opening a busi
ness. I will have to wait for se
veral years in order to accumu
late enough cash. When I’m
ready, will I be able to get a
GI business loan, or is the pro
gram due to expire soon?
A. You will have plenty of
time to get your GI loan. The
Korean GI Bill loan program
will not expire until ten years
after the end of the present em
ergency.
Q. I’m planning to take flight
training under the Korean GI
Bill. Will I be allowed 30 days
absences a year, the same as
veterans taking trade and vo
cational courses?
A. No. Under the Korean GI
Bill, you will be paid on the ba
sis of flight instruction actually
received — and nothing more.
You will not be paid for absen
ces.

THE BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE
for naval stores during the 1954
.season should be permitted to
rest until the new season be
gins next March, in order that
they will have a chance to re
cover from the damage caused
by the drought.
FORESTER REPORTS
DROUGHT DAMAGE
TO NAVAL STORES
Trees of all kinds, whether
for naval stores or not, are in a
very weakened condition due to
the extended drought. This was
reported by C. Dorsey Dyer, Ex
tension Forester for xhe Agricul
tural Extension • Service a t
Athens. Dyer said trees worked
In other late falls, such as the
present one, many producers
continued working the trees at
irregular intervals during the
fall and winter season, Dyer
said. He added that such a prac
tice should not be carried out this
year. “Not only will the yield be
less in the spring and summer if
the trees are worked now, but
many of them, so damaged by
the drought, will not survive,”
Dyer said.
The forester pointed out that
•the drought has not reduced the
gum yield to any great extent,
•although those trees worked by
the bark hack and acid stimula
tion method are apparently in
much better condition than those
•forked by the wood hack me
thod. By removing only the bark
at each chipping the tree is
seemingly maintained in a heal
thier state, he said.

WATER-COOLED PIGS
GROW FASTER THAN
HOT, DRY PORKERS
Farmers may find it profitable
td sprinkle summer pigs with
water if preliminary results of
an experiment 'at the Coastal
Plain Experiment Station at Tif
ton are verified by additional
tests.
During this summer’s drought
one of two groups of 23 pigs
each, hhggin-off early corn and
self-fed protein supplement, were
allowed to run under a spray of
water from a hose nozzle while
the others enjoyed no such means
of beating the heat.
The sprinkled group aversned
a gain of one-quarter pound yer
pig per day more than did the
dry ones. W. C. McCormick, asso
ciate animal husbandman at the
station, said the greater gain was
undoubtedly due to greated food
consumption by the sprinkled
pigs.‘ If gain by the sprinkled
pigs proves more efficient and
such pigs can be marketed ear
lier due to increased gain, then
wetting-down summer pigs will
be of economic value, he explain
ed.
McCormick pointed out, how
ever, that conditions for the one
year test were ideal this summer
and may not be the same in a
rainy season or during a year of
normal rainfall. He also stated
that such sprinklers should be
moved occasionally so that pw
manent hog wallows will net be
created.

It’s the valve-in-head V 8 as only
the valve-in-head leader can build it!
You’d expect Chevrolet to otit-V8 the field—and it has! Chevrolet’s

foot. The excitement of 162 horsepower! The excitement of an 8 to I
ultra-high compression ratio that squeezes more pure fun out of a
gallon of gas than you ever dreamed possible! The new "Turbo-Fire
V 8 is so efficient that it requires only jour quarts of oil instead of the
usual five or more. And it has the shortest piston stroke in the low
price field, for longer engine life. But we can’t even begin to give
you the whole story here. Come in and drive the new "Turbo-Fire V 8!”
With enough new advances
to fill a book!
Chevrolet offers two new highstepping sixes for 1955! There’s the new
"Blue-Flame 136” (teamed with Powerglide as an extra-cost option)
and the new "Blue-Flame 123.” Both bring you new, higher-rated
power-the zippy, thrifty high-compression kir. Both have new, more
efficient cooling and lubrication systems . . . । / engine mounts that
result in almost unbelievable smoothness. A: kc the new "Turbo?
