Tips for School Going
Veterans
A round-up of G.I. Bill rules
and regulations has been issued
by the Veterans Administration
to help veterans plan ahead for
their school terms this fall. The
VA stressed that now is the
time veterans should do their
planning, because several weeks
sometimes are required to get
preliminaries out of the way.
Veterans who intend to go
ahead this fall with the same
course at a school they have pre
viously attended need not con
tact the VA at all. They should,
however, make certain the
school has room for them.
Those who want to continue
in the same course but at a dif
ferent school should obtain a
supplemental Certificate of Eli
gibility from the VA. On the
certificate, they must name the
school and course. Then, at the
time of enrollment, they present
the certificate to the school.
Veterans who wish to make
their first change from one gen
eral field of study to another
(from law to engineering, for
example) may do so simply by
applying for a supplemental
certificate.
Veterans who already have
changed general fields of study
under the G.I. Bill and now
wish to change again should ap
py to the VA. They may be re
quired to undergo advisement
and guidance to determine whe
ther they are in need of the
course and have the aptitude
necessary to complete the train
ing.
Veterans who have not yet
trained under the G.I. Bill, and
plan to start this fall, should
apply at the nearest VA office
for an original Certificate of
Eligibility. The name of the
school and course must be in
cluded in the application and the
application, together with a pho
tostatic copy of discharge papers,
should be sent to the nearest
VA regional office. After veter
ans receive their certificate,
they should keep it nntil they
actually enroll.

By Mildred Kirkpatrick
The community of Kenai is
doing an admirable thing in.
shouldering their share in the
development of the Kenai Pen
insula. They have undertaken
a festival which is no smalL
project.
Development of the Peninsula
depends upon the activities of
the communities now in exist
ence in the area, and upon the
cooperation and good will with
in each community for the
others.
Seward started the ball roll
ing this year with the Potlatch
in February. Homer and Kenai
turned out in bitter weather
to attend the Potlatch. Now
they are in turn inviting Sew
ard to Kenai to the Fall Fes
tival and to the Homer Fair
later in the month.
One trip down Fourth Ave
nue during the day, any day
of the week, is a revelation of
these days. The number of cars
parked along the curb is amaz
ing. If only one half of those
cars are driven to Kenai this
weekend it will greatly encour
age the hard working people of
that village and create a friend
ly feeling for Seward.
If only one dozen Sewardites
participate in their bazaar by
sending exhibits or contribu
tions for sale, it will help the
Kenai cause immeasurably.
They have a community li
brary in Kenai that is remark
able in its size and scope. They
were encouraged and assisted
by Mrs. Ray James of Seward
in their project. Now they are
on their own, and they have
not laid down on the job, but
are planning to increase library
benefits through the festival.
Let's help them.
Kenai also can boast of a civic
center, two nice little churches
| and a beautiful new school
building. It is a growing com
munity, and one to be reckoned
j with in the future of Kenai Pcn
i insula. We want their friend
! ship and their business, their
, good will and their company.
The only way to foster these
I intangibles is to offer our own
congratulations IN PERSON.
