NO EARNINGS CEILING
FOR KOREA GI STUDENTS
Money earned outside of class
by veterans in school under the
Korean GI Bill have no bearing
on the amount of GI allowance
paid them by the Government,
Veterans Administration said.
These earnings need not even be
reported to VA, the agency said.
VA explained that some vet
erans still confuse the Korean
GI Bill with the original World
War II GI Bill which did have
an income “ceiling” that applied
to veterans taking all types of
training—in school, on-the-job
and on-the-farm.
There is no such “ceiling” for
veterans in school under the
Korean GI Bill. However, there
is one for Korean veterans tak
ing on-the-job training. Under
this ceiling, when a veteran’s on
the-ijob training wages, plus his
GI allowance, exceed $310 a
c to nth, VA scales down the al
lcnvtance accordingly, to bring the
total within the $310 limit

what would VA consider as two
years?
A. In the case of this school,
two-nine-month school years,
covering a period of 24 calendar
months, will satisfy the two-year
requirement of the law.
VETERANS USING
KOREAN GI BILL
URGED TO CHECK COURSE
Veterans who want to learn
whether the courses they desire
to enroll in under the Korean GI
Bill have either State or Veterans
Administration approval may ob
tain this information from their
nearest VA Regional Office or
Center, VA said today.
VA urged the veterans desir
ing to check on the courses to
write to their own state offices,
and not to the VA headquarters
in Washington, where the infor
mation is not available. Each
State Regional Office or Center
keeps an up-to-date record of ap
proved courses available to Korea
veterans.
Veterans were urged not to ask
for an entire list of approved
courses, but to limit the request
to the line of study previously
decided on. A veteran should
have a fairly good idea of the
type of training he wants, VA
said, when he contacts the VA
for information. In this way VA
can easily furnish him with the
names of schools offering courses
in his chosen field, so he can de
LIFEGUARD DESIGN—A mother makes sure that her son is
securely seated in a 1956 Ford Sunliner. The new Fords, which will bt
shown to the public Friday (September 23) incorporate five safety
features in a “lifeguard design'* intended to reduce chances of acci
dental injury. On all new Fords, safety-designed steering wheels, door
latches and rear view mirrors are standard equipment. Wheels are
designed to absorb force if the driver is thrown forward, reducing
the chance his chest might strike the steering column hub. Safety
door latches (lower left) will resist crash Impact, and help keep
passengers inside the car where they are twice as safe, according to
research figures. Mirrors have a special backing to help prevent shat
tering. Optional seat belts will withstand up to 4,000 pounds of force.
Optional crash cushions for instrument panels and sun visors will
provide added protection if a passenger is thrown forward.
FOOTBALL BANQUET
The annual banquet will be
held this evening in the high
school cafeteria, with parents of
football players planning and
preparing the dinner. Members
of the Pep club will assist.
The dinner is slated for 6:30
p.m. and will be followed by the
presentation of certificates to the
players. Prior to the dinner they
will have been awarded their
school letters during a general
assembly at high school. Lee
Plumbley, band master, will be
cide where to train.
If the veteran isn’t sure of what
kind of training he wants, he may
avail himself of VA’s vocational
counseling. Through tests and in
terviews the counseling process
enables the veteran to under
stand his capabilities and attitu
des, so that he is in a much bet
ter position to make a wise choice.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Q. My deadline for starting
school under the Korean GI Bill
comes in November. I applied to
start class this fall, in plenty of
time. A family problem has come
up so that I won’t be able to be
gin until around the first of the
year. Will I still be able to get in
under the Korean GI Bilk since
my deadline will have passed?
A. No. Under the law, a veter
an actually must begin his Kor
ean GI training before his start
ing deadline. Filing an applica
tion alone is not sufficient and
the law grants no exceptions.

Home Demonstration
Notes
By Marylou Rideout
Mrs. Jim Hulbert just brought
this bit of news into the Exten
sion office. She said, “After at
tending the discussion at a Home
makers’ club on ‘avoiding clut
ter’, I decided it was time I got
my good dishes out of the pack
ing barrel in the garage, even
though I looked at my ‘much too
small cupboard’ with concern. But
I unpacked the dishes, stacked
the dishes, stacked them in piles,
measured again. These manipu
lations finally revealed that the
addition of two removable shel
ves four inches by eight and one
half inches by 20 inches would
accommodate two full sets of
dishes. My husband agreed they
would be very simple to make.
So now the dishes are all wash
ed, packed in plastic bags and
ready for use”.
Mrs. Hulbert adds, “Next week
end’s project is to empty out the
utility drawer, divide, rearrange
and accommodate too much in too
small a space.”
If your cupboard and kitchen
drawers seem to be a ‘clutter,
maybe you need more shelf space
provided by removable shelves—
easily made from orange crates
or apple boxes. Wooden drawer
dividers may be easily built too.
For help, won’t you step in and
see our model, bulletins and sug
gestions? You can do, oh! so
much improvement on your exist
ing shelves that are too wide and
too far apart.
