Dade County’s Only Newspaper. VOLUME XLVIII. * GIVE THEM THIS DAY- Dade County’s “Crusade foi Children” was formerly launched on May 17. This world-wide campaign, sponsored by the American Over¬ seas Aid-Unit.d Nations Appeal for Children, combines the ef¬ forts of the United State and 45 other nations in a desperate at¬ tempt to save 230 million Euro¬ pean and Asiatic chilrden from sure starvation this year. The campaign goal through¬ out the world is 7 cents per child per day to provide a mere sub- sistance diet of 600 calories a day, which is about half of a normal school lunch. This diet is pro¬ posed as only a stop-gap to sim¬ ply keep these innocent baby war-victims alive until the Marshall Plan can put war de¬ solated nations on a self-suffi¬ cient basis. The immediate urgency of this campaign is understood when we realize that in the time it has taken to read this story, literally thousands of innocent children will have died for lack of help. The cost of caring for one child for 1 month is $2.13, for C months is $12.78, while $25.55 will keep one child from star¬ vation for a whole year. Dade County Visiting Teacher, Mrs. Hoyt Phillips, School Supt. L. M. Allison and County Agent L. C. Adams were appointed by State Chairman, Dr. M. D. Coll¬ ins State Superintendent of Schools and W. A. Sutton Direct¬ or of the 4-H Clubs of Georgia to be the Crusade for Children Committee in Dade County.

The final criterion to be in judging whether or not trians should dispute the way with an automobile is there is no equal competition tween a 150-pound and a 3,000-pound automobile! New Rules On Veter- ans ’ Allowances The State Department of Veterans Service has undertaken a clairfication of the new laws passed by the present Congress governing subsistance allowances md ceiling limitations for veter¬ ans who are in training under the GI Bill of Rights. Director C. Arthur Cheatham observed, re¬ leasing the report, that the new regulations are so complicated that a great number of news stories about them—even those prepared in Washington—have been misinterpretation. “One of the most important hanges in the law,” he said, "is one that has very largely been overlooked. This is the new re¬ flation which restricts compu- ation of income to wages earned luring the standard work week. In other words, overtime need lot be included as part of regular ncome in figuring subsistance or trainees any longer. “Another point is that ceilings, is such, do not put a limit on he amount of wages a veteran nay earn- The ceiling only lim¬ its the amount of subsistance which a veteran may receive in addition to regular wages earned by employment, exculsive of over time.” Ceilings—(regular salary oi wages plus subsistance): $210 per month for a veteran-trainer without dependants; $270 pei month for a veteran-trainee with one dependant and $290 per month for a veteran-trainee with two or more dependants. The >aw specifically forbids a veterar rainee to receive higher re¬ muneration (training wage plus > ubsistance allowance) than thf pay he will receive when fully trained. Therefore, if the occu¬ pation for which a veteran- trainee is studying has a lowe’ pay scale than these ceilings, thf amount of subsistance will be governed by the lower figure. When a veteran-trainee’s plus his susistance, exceed the new ceiling or the pay-scale of the job for which he is train¬ ing, his subsistance allowance will be reduced proportionately. Subsistance Allowance—No in¬ crease in subsistance allowances for on-the-job trainees has been provided. They remain as fol¬ lows: $65 per month for a vet- f ran-trainee without dependents and $90 per month if he has de¬ pendants. This governs veter¬ ans who are strictly on-the-job trainees. Veterans attending full-time educational institutions may nov receive $75 per month if thev have no dependents; $105 oe’ month if they have on" denon dent or $120 per month if they have more than one dependent. Veterans who are attending educational ' institutions, part- time, such as on-the-farm trainees, receive increases ir ♦heir subsistance allowances ir nroportion to the amount of birr a they spend in the class room Such veterans must be receivin' at least an amount of class room instruction equivalent to one- fourth of a standard full-time school course. “This is a very important,’ Cheatham emphasized. "A vet¬ eran who owns or operates hie own farm must receive a mini¬ mum of 300 hours of instruction per year to be eligible for sub¬ sistance at all- He must spend at least 200 hours In the class room and take 100 hours of in¬ struction on the farm. A veter¬ an who is being trained on the farm of a farmer-trainer, must receive a minimum of 250 hours of instruction per year (200 hours in the class room and 50 hours on the farm). “Under the new subsistance al¬ lowances law, a veteran-trainc a who receives a minimum of 300 hours of class room instruction per year will receive an increase equal to one-fourth of the dif¬ ference between old subsistance rates and the new ones.” Cheatham said the Veteran" Administration will require proof of dependency in certain cases from veterans affected by the higher subsistance rates. Infor¬ mation will be requested by the VA, he said and should be supplied before September 1, then the increased benefits are retroactive to April 1, this year Graduation In Dade County Schools Graduation time is here again.
