Turn About Is Fair Play

It is really one of life's most embar-
RAISING moments when someone publicly
tells another how good he is. A fellow
doesn't know just what to say, how to say
it or even how to defend himself.
That is the position this newspaper
found itself in recently as a result Of the
statement released by the U. S. Pulpwood
Council Gin appreciation Of, the important
contribution rendered" by us and many
of our contemporaries in furthering the
U. S. Victory Pulpwood Campaign.
And the Council went on to say: after
VI Day many elements in our population
suffered a noticeable let-down. Yet your
newspaper has continued in these months
of peace to unselfishly campaign in behalf
of the nations urgent reconversion needs
for more paper, paperboard and other
pulpwood products"
Well, what can a fellow say to that?
After considerable deliberation we have
decided that, in self-defense, we ought to
explain to the U. S. Pulpwood Council
some of our other reasons for continuing
our support:
We believe, for example, that pulpwooc
is a mighty fine cash crop;
We believe that farm woodlot, prop
erly cut each year, is just about as good
insurance as a farmer can have against
total crop failure;
We believe that our woodlands are an
extremely important asset to all the people
of this community, contributing in one way
or another to every persons welfare.
We believe in the people. who live in
this community, and we believe we owe 1t
to them to repeatedly remind them OF
these and other important truths that they
are sometimes apt to forget
And Oh, Yes! We want to thank the
U. S. Pulpwood Council for its recognition
of the part we are playing.

Veterans Social Security

Under present conditions nearly IT,
100000 World War II veterans have lost
Social Security credit due to their mil
itary service. During this time OF service
to their country, there were no Social Sc
curity deductions from their service pay.
A veteran who served period of three
wears has lost three years OF Social Sc
curity benefit due to no fault OF his own
These veterans fall into two categories
those who left employment to enter the
service and those who went into the armed
forces directly from school.
Veterans in the first category have dis
covered that the Social Security Act pro-
vides that when their payments are dis
continued or lapsed after eighteen months
in the service, the old age and survivors
insurance benefits cease Also that upon
re-entering civilian employment, they must
remain there for 18 months before those
benefits again will accrue to them or their
survivors. Should death overtake them
within that period, those benefits would
be lost. This is an outright penalty on the
veteran for his wartime service.
The American Legion through its leg
islative division is urging Congress to
amend the Social Security Act and is Wig
orously pressing action on it's bill H. R.
1887 which provides for a monthly wage
credit of at least $3.50 to be entered upon
the Social Security account of the veteran
for the period of his military service. This
figure is considered fair average of mill
itary pay including subsistence, allotments,
allowances, etc. This credit would be a
retroactive contribution by the Federal
Government for both employer and en-
ployee.

Training Veterans

he-job-training program for vet
Grams in Ashe county is becoming more and
more popular, but there are still some ad-
ditional firms that could qualify and thus
not only avail themselves of needed labor
but can give a veteran an opportunity to
learn profession or trade.
This paper has filled out number OF
forms for firms and will be happy to con-
tinue to assist any one interested. While
the majority Of firms here are small, this
is no drawback. Remember the employ
ment-training for every single veteran
counts; for them and for you, now and
later. Many of these veterans left school
to enter service and are just now ready
to learn a business. See that they have
the opportunity of doing so. If your firm
has not qualified, make application now.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1946-07-25

veteran will ask no special favors or pref
erences and will make good employee.
To enhance the campaign of educations,
The American Legion is presenting for ma
tionwide distribution short movie en-
titled mo Help Wanted" The film has no
professional actors but is produced from
scenes taken in our Government veterans
hospitals and private industrial establish
ments. The picture portrays the training
disabled veterans are receiving and shows
them at work in productive employment.
The Legion hopes that this visual dem
onstration of the proper utilization of
physically handicapped veterans will as
sist in reducing, if not eliminating, the un-
founded prejudice existing against their
placement in gainful employment. Any
other result will be shameful commentary
on Americas appreciation of its war
wounded and reflection on the business
judgment of employers.

Can All You Can

A large majority of the women in this
area are now busy canning. And this IS
not only an excellent example of Amer
lean thrift, but common sense as we'll and
an expression of patriotism.
Properly prepared home canned foods
are not only hard to beat, so in canning
them, not only do housewives provide their
families with the best of foods, but also
make available more commercially canned
foods for those who have nothing to can.
The shortage of sugar at this time IS
most unfortunate, but there are many
things that can be canned without sugar.
It must be remembered though that sugar
is a preservative and that in cases where
sugar is usually used with fruits and vege-
tables, little extra care must be taken If
the sugar is to be omitted. Let's all can
all we can. ."~~~~,
