Q. I want to take jewelers ap
prenticeship or schooling but the
schools in this area are all filled
and apprenticeships seem to be
all taken Can I take on-the-job
training in body and fender work
and later transfer under the G.I.
Bill?
A. It is nt generally advisable
because of the charge which will
be placed against your entitlement
time and allowed only with the
training officer’s consent to the
change for a good reason. Grades
acquired the first year determine
eligibility for further work in the
same or allied field but not from
one trade to another of a differ
ent nature unless circumstances
show necessity for the change.
Q. I would like to buy some
surplus machinery. Can I make
arrangements through the Veter
ans Administration?
A. Surplus commodities are han
dled by the War Assets Adminis
tration. You should make inquir
ies at the nearest WAA office.
Your contact officer can direct
you to the office in your locality.
