Give The Other Guy A Break
. . i
- The absolute and reckless abandon that certain m-l
d‘vifl<Mls practice in operating their motor craft in the chan
K-t adjacent to the D & A dock and Standard Oil Float is ex
tre nfiy dangerous and may cause the life of some fisherman
or damage to his bo t. '
.] n one ir^t trice this past Week a fisherman was in
stalling his motor and he had it swinging on a winch putting
if, in place, and charging down through the channel, full steam
ahead,,came a fairly large boat, causing large waves to rock
ffte bo t >n which the motor was being installed, and here was
this fisherman trying to control the swinging motor from dam
s’, enii; his'boat and at the same time trying to keep from
being'knocked overboard by the heavy pendelum.
f ” you are one of those speed crazed maniacs that tear
through the channel, endangering the lives of your brother
1; hymen, one of these days you may be charged with murder
and j i tly so.
G. I. BILL OF BIGHTS
t
On June 22, just ten years ago, the President of the
United States signed into law one of the most far-reaching
laws e ver enacted for Americans - - the GI Bill.
Sven as our veterans were battling ashore in N r
mandy, and the outcome of the “Crusade in Europe” was yet
i.i dp.i A. President Roosevelt said, “This law gives emphatic
n tv*- to the men and women of our armed forces that the
A me* i an people do not intend to let them down.”
The GI Bill originally consisted of six benefits. The
“t'i ; three”, education and training, guaranty of loans and
i n \ttpayment pay, were administerea by the Veterans Ad
ministration. Of the three, only guaranty of loans still is in
full op ration. Cut-off date for education and training for
World War li veterans started in 1951, and re-adjustment al
lowances stopped July 25, 1949. Deadline on the loan guaranty
program will start on July 25, 1957.
Ten years operation under the GI Bill speaks for itself*
More than 7,800,000 WW II veterans trained under the GI
Bill at a cost of some $14.5 billion, bringing new skills to the
nation. The Gen-us-Bureau reports that the average male
««tera<* today has completed more than 12 years of school,
comp-i red- to nine years for the average male non-veteran.
The median income of veterans has shot up 40 percent, while
> the-not*-veteran-group increased only 10 percent.
I hiring the 10 years the GI Bill has been operating,
3,£00.900 Veterans obtained VA guaranteed and insured loans
valued at $23.5 billion. Already some $3 billion of these loans
have been repaid in full. Every veteran-owned home is a sym
bol of strength of the community and the nation; a family
with roots, contributing to the welfare of all.
All this, because the American people saw fit to repay
those men and women who served in time of war - - and . now
are serving in peace. *
