VETERANS ADMINISTRATION office
DISABLED KOREAN
VETERANS TAKE
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
One out of every five severely
disabled Korean conflict veter
ans has enrolled for vocational
rehabilitation training, while only
one of 10 with lesser disabilities
sought training, a study by Vet
erans Administration reveals.
Those rated 60 percent or more
disabled, apparently are not con
tent to sit on the sidelines, VA
said, ljut despite severe handicaps
are making a comeback to pro
ductive living by overcoming
their handicaps by vairous types
of training. The group 20 per
cent or less compares with the
group 20 to 50 percent disabled,
in that one out of six has taken
training.
The study revealed, VA said,
that the disabled trainees are
aiming for high-level profession
al and managerial occupations in
greater numbers than for any
other type of jobs. Of the 30,000
who have thus far entered train
ing 44 percent are in the profes
sional and managerial fields.
Ranking next is trade and in
dustrial training with 35 percent;
clerical and sales with 13 per
cent; agriculture 6 percent; and
service occupations 2 percent.
Average age of the disabled
veterans was 25 when they enter
ed training, yet more than half
of all of them were supporting
dependents while in training.
Veterans with nearly every
type of disability have entered
,r training, according to the VA sur
vey. Forty percent have ortho
pedic disabilities; 20 percent have
had nervous or mental condi
tions; 10 percent have had res
piratory ailments; 7 percent
heart conditions, and the remain
der a wide variety of other dis
abilities.
The training program for dis
abled Korean conflict veterans
has been in operation nearly five
years. Since it has a good many
years to go, some of the training
patterns and characteristics of
veterans may change as time pas
ses, Va said.
Question of the Week: —
Q. During my active service,
premiums on my GI term insur
ance policy were under waiver. I
recently was discharged, and I
decided to reenlist with 120 days
of my discharge date. Will my
premiums remain under waiver
during my new period of military
service?
A. Yes, So long as you return
ed to active duty within 120 days
after discharge, VA will continue
to waive your premiums during
your new period of service.

WOMEN DRIVERS URGED
TO SHOW THEIR
SAFETY KNOWLEDGE
The safest drivers in America
will increase to almost twice their
present number within the next
10 years.
So says Miss Betty Skelton,
Dodge test driver, who refers to
the growing horde of women be
hind the wheel, currently 2,000,
000 strong and expected to reach
47,000,000 by 1956.
Betty can rattle off some pretty
impressive statistics to prove her
point about the safety record of
the one-third of our licensed
drivers who are women. ,
“They have only one-tenth of
all the accidents,” says Betty,
who is the only woman test driv
er in the automotive industry
and something of a champion of
the reputation of the much-mal
igned American woman driver.
She goes on to explain that
surveys have revealed that men
drive from two to four times as
many miles as women. Still, the
male ratio of accidents, she con
tinues, is more than 10 times as
great.
Betty hopes there will be at
least one woman among the win
ners of the current contest in
which a new car every year for
life will be awarded to four safe
motorists.
“.It would help to establish the.
good reputation women drivers
deserve,” states the attractive
adds.
young automotive expert.
“Every woman who is 21 or
over and has a driver’s license
should enter the contest by sub
mitting a safety slogan,” she
“If she is picked to be one of
the contestants questioned on
the Lawrence Welk show, she
should brush up on safety rules
and regulations. That way she
will have a better chance to an
swer all the quesier compiled by
the National Safety Council,”
Betty advises.
She believes that a woman can
and should be one of the top four
whose safety know-how will win
a new car every year for life.
There were 13,500 drawings
made in constructing the aircraft
carrier USS FORRESTAL. The
gigantic warship was commission
ed October 1, 1955.
