GI Bill of Rights Protects Veterans Contrary to what many people believe, the G. I. Bill of Rights does not make Uncle Sam a Santa Claus to the discharged service man; instead it protects the veter an, and gives him an opportunity for self-help and the development of initiative. In an effort to correct some mis taken impressions about this leg islation, Joe Matthews, assistant in agricultural planning for the A. & M. College Extension Service, of fers this explanation: The bill provides for no outright gift, but guarantees veterans’ loans up to $2,000. There is no limit on the amount of loans, only on the guarantee. Incidentally, Matthews says, the G. I. |M11 itself makes no provisions for mustering out pay. No government money is in volved in the farm loan features of the bill. Veterans may obtain loans for buying farms and homes from private as well as government lend ing agencies. Loans to veterans must be sound, and to protect them the Bill pro vides that appraisals of farm steads based on normal agricul tural values must be made by ex perienced Farm Credit Adminis tration appraisers. Where prices are abnormally inflated, no farm loans can be approved. The bill is not designed to put amateurs in business, but it does offer veterans an opportunity to help themselves rather than be come wards of the government, Matthews says. Those who framed the bill considered land settlement policies and aid to veterans of previous wars and attempted to help this generation profit from past experience. Discharged veterans need not worry that loans to buy farms may be hard to get at present due to high land prices, for the two-year timfe limit begins only after the war has ended officially. Since the loan guarantee can be used only once, veterans should exercise that privilege only for an enterprise of great importance. Experiments have shown that the Sequoia of California sometimes holds its cones for 16 years before they drop and discharge their seed contents. The seed are preserved from weather and fungi by a pow dery pigment which makes them waterproof and germproof.

Deadly War Device Started Out as Toy A child’s toy—the spinning top, or gyroscope—is a deadly war in strument that is used in under water warfare, on shipboard and in aircraft, Dr. Charles F. Green, con sulting engineer of General Elec tric’s Aeronautics and Marine En gineering division, declared in a G-E Science Forum address in Schenectady. Under water the gyro is the means “which directs the deadly torpedo on its path to the battle ship, destroyer, or transport,” Dr. Green said. “On shipboard, it performs the vital job of indicating the vertical, in spite of the roll and pitch of the vessel,” he continued. “Such stable verticals or elements are precision gyro instruments having means for continuously correcting or ‘erecting’ the gyro to the verti cal, to make them accurate enough to serve as a base from which guns may be fired at distant targets, “Many other refinements must be included to render gunfire accu rate on a rolling and pitching base. These gyro instruments serve also (;o control many items of equip ment aboard, so that parts or ele ments always are vertical or hori zontal, as the case may require. Such stabilization makes the firing of guns possible at any position in the roll of the ship, and greatly in creased fire power as well as ac curacy of fire.” Dr. Green pointed out another use that has greatly aided in in- Using good pasture land to sup port scrub stock and devoting wood land to the growing of inferior trees are both examples of mis management on the farm. creasing the deadliness of gunfire. This characteristic of the gyro makes possible an accurate meas ure of the lead necessary for firing of guns from one airplane at an other. The gunner in following, or tracking, his target through his sights causes a gyro to set up a proper lead angle, either in his sight or the computer, to make accurate and deadly gunfire by shooting ahead of the target. “This is one of the uses of the gyro which has been added during the present conflict,” he said. According to Dr. Green, gyro compasses, when equipped with automatic steering equipment, be come the means by which the fighting vessels of the world navies today are navigated in fair or foul weather. He said that all but the smallest aircraft are equipped to day with directional gyros, which are used by the pilots to maintain their determined courses. The directional gyro is one of the instruments used as directing elements in automatic pilots for aircraft, Dr. Green explained. When sensitive pickup devices are mount ed on the gyro, means for trans mitting the position of the gyro to power devices are provided, the rudder of the plane responds to the changes in position of the plane with respect to the gyro, or is steered by the gyro. New uses for the gyroscope have been found, not only for war, but for the more desirable peacetime uses, he concluded. Only a remnant of the original forests of the East remains, and nearly half of the virgin forests of the South and West have gone. An active intelligent interest in America’s forest problems, par ticipated in by all citizens, is need ed to carry out a definite national forestry policy for the United States. A section of giant California redwood, presented by the Califor nia delegation of the American Legion to the soldiers of France, was, according to the number of rings, 1,995 years old when the tree fell in 1915.
