DCT Program At Newton High Is Cooperative Effort
21 Students Work In 13
Kinds Os Businesses Here
Diversity is the keynote to the DCT (Diversified Co
operative Training) program at Newton County High School,
according to Homer F. Sharp, principal of the high school.
Mark Davis is the director of the DCT program in the high
school. Twenty-one students work or have worked this year
Korea Cut-off
Pete Wheeler, Director of the
State Department of Veterans
Service, today explained the ef
fect that the Presidential Pro
ciamation ending eligibility for
certain post-Korean veteran bene
fits, will have on the Korean GI
Bill Education and Training Pro
gram,
Wheeler said that the procla
mation sets January 31, 1955 as
the last day of the Korean emer
gency for purposes of acquiring
eligibility for certain GI benefits,
including Korean GI Bill training,
Those who enter the armed forces
after January 31, will not be en
titled to education or training
under the Korean GI Bill when
they are discharged or released.
Those who enter service before
January 31 will build up entitle
ment for Korean GI training only
up to and including January 31.
Under present law, they will not
accumulate training entitlement
for service after January 31.
Wheeler pointed out that en
titlement is computed on the basis
of one-half times the length of
military service up to and includ
ing January 31. For example, he
said, a man who entered service
December 1, 1954 would rceive
GI training entitlement only for
the period between that date and
January 31 1955 or about three
months of schooling.
Under the present law, explain
ed Wheeler, who cited a VA di
rective, even those who qualify
for GI training after discharge,
'must meet two other requirement
of the laws. He must have been
separated from service other.than
dishonorable conditions with at
least 90 days of active duty, un
less discharged sooner for a dis
ability incurred in line of duty.
Not all the 90 days need be before
January 31; any part of it could
come afterwards.
Post Korea veterans already
out of service are not effected by
the cut-off date, so far as starting
their Korean GI Bill training, but
they 'still must start their courses
within three years after discharge
or release from active duty.
Wheeler invited interested per
sons to come by the nearest
branch office of the State Depart
ment of Veterans Service for ad
vise and assistance. The nearest
branch office is located at Cov
ington and the manager is Mrs.
Doroty Cason.
