UNION PRESS-COURIER PAGE THREE Thursday, May 23, 1946 DETAILS COMPLETE FOR VETS' ‘ON-JOB TRAINING ON FARMS Two Types Available for Farm Occupations, Announces Vet Administration Details have been completed by the Veterans Administration and the State Dept. of Public Instruc- tion for “on-the-job” training pro- grams for ex-servicemen who wish to become farmers. According io VA representative J. G. Breuckmann, the new plan is designed “to train ex-GIs to be- come farmers by means of a farm program giving maximum service at local levels.” \ Two types of training are avail- able for agricultural occupations: Self-Proprietorship Plan 1, A self-proprietorship plan un- der which the veteran operates a farm as either owner or tenant, or under a management or share agreement “which fully protects the welfare of the veteran.” 2. The employer - trainer plan under which training is given by a farmer to a veteran who comes to work for him under a special agreement.

Advice for the procurement and financing of a farm will be given by J. Harold Gibb, Cambria County Service Officer, Ebensburg, who is head of the Agricultural Training Advisory Committee, The group also includes H. C. McWilliams, the county farm agent. Will Approve Farms Local farms will be approved for “on-the-job” training as the labor- atory for institutional training, and local farmers will help the veteran in locating a good farm to buy and advise as to the crop best suited to his land. Senior high schools will be ap- proved as institutional training centers and contracts providing for the GI training will be executed between the school district and the Veterans Administration. 250 Hours Per Year instruction, 250 hours a year will be provided and 50 hours of ‘on- the-farm” instruction. For the em- ployer-trainer veteran, subsistence pay will be decreased in the same proportion that wages increase. The FHA, soil conservation ser- vice, and other government agen- cies will be asked to supplement “in-school” and ‘“on-the-farm” in- struction given by regular teach- ers. COMMITTEE HITS MARTIN REIGME “Verbal plans for spending money that is never actually spent, and a continuation of the policy of underestimating receipts, will en- able the present state administra- tion to wind up the present bien- nium with a surplus of $200,000,- 000—a fact which administration spokesmen now admit,” the Demo. cratic County Committee points out in the second of its current series of releases. Predicition Is Ridiculed “During the last session of the General Assembly,” the Committee continues,” the House Minority | Leader pointed out-—the exact date | being Mar. 16, 1945—that the ad- ministration would wind up with |a surplus of at least $207,000,000. | This statement was ridiculed by | administration spokesmen. | “However, Attorney General | Duff now admits that the surplus will reach at least $200,000,000— and he also admits that revenues during the current biennium will exceed administration estimates by at least $30,000,000. “The Democratic Floor Leader in the House makes the flat pre- diction that revenues during the current, biennium will overrun es- timates by at least $65,000,000. The significance of the fact that At- torney General Duff now admits that there will be a $200,000,000 surplus is this: Would Not Raise Teachers “When the Democrats, at the be- ginning of the 1945 session of the General Assembly, insisted that all school subsidies be increased by at least $75,000,000, the administra- tion spokesmen took the position that school appropriations could not be increased unless new taxes were imposed. That's why the teachers did not get the increases in salary they were fighting for.” FBI HEAD GETS RAISE J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, has been voted a boost in salary of from $10,000 per year to $14,000 by the House at Washing- ton, D. C. The raise is subject to Senate action.

ANNOUNCE HUNTING SCHEDULE FOR YEAR State Game Commission officials this year are acting early in an- nouncing hunting dates for 1946 so that nimrods can plan their vaca- tions for this fall. The 1946 schedule, with Sundays excepted, is as follows: Small game season, Nov. 1 to Nov. 30, inclusive. Bear, Nov. 18 to Nov. 23, in- clusive. Deer, Dec. 1 to Dec. 15, in- clusive, Ross L. Leffler, president of the commission, says early action was taken in accordance with wishes of sportsmen, and that seasons, bag hmits, etc., will be officially es- tablished in July. | Woodchuck Season Advanced The woodchuck season was ad- vanced one month, and will open on Saturday, June 1 Woodchuck hunting hours fixed by law will be 7 a. m. to 5 p. m. Eastern Standard Time during the month of June, and from 6 a. m. to 7:30 p. m. Eastern Standard | Time from July 7 to Sept. 30, in- clusive, the commission having no authority under law to change the hours during the extra month that was added to the woodchuck sea- son or to make adjustments for Daylight Saving Time. UNIFORM DRIVING LAWS’ NEED CITED President Truman's Highway | Safety Conference, now in session | in Washington, will attempt to save American lives by ironing out con- flicting traffic regulations which exist throughout America. A survey of “conflicting and archaic” traffic laws has been | made by a special Committee on | Laws and Ordinances. School Bus Ruling Differs In the committee's preliminary | conference, it was pointed out that | in some states motorists approach- | ing a school bus from either direc- { tion on a rural highway shall stop { when school children are boarding | or alighting. | Motorists from states which do | not have this requirement may not | obey the law in states which re- | quire the stop, “and such failure | may result in death or injury to | school children who anticipate safe passage across the highway,” the report warns. Crossing Codes Vary The committee also pointed out { the danger of conflicting laws re- | garding procedure at intersections. | Some states require all vehicles to yield to vehicles approaching from the right. Drivers accustomed to such a law “will assume the right-of-way over drivers approaching from the left” even in states where the rule does not prevail. This leads to ac- cidents. Other inequalities include driv- ers’ signals about right and left turns and slowing down from high speed. GAIN IN DRIVERS The Bureau of Motor Vehicles of the State Dept. of Revenue reports 2,967,928 licensed motor vehicle operators in this state as of Mar. 31, an increase of 218,674 over the preceding registration year. { WEDDED 44 YEARS | Mr. and Mrs. Michael A.
