Faculty and student support of this Red Cross drive for blood was outstanding. Several attending nurses mentioned that they were especially pleased with the cooperation and enthusiasm of the donors. One hundred and sixty persons volunteered to give blood. Two, however, because of previous illness or the fact that they were taking certain kinds of shots, were unable to contribute. Officials said they appreciated the efforts of all who came, whether they were able to donate blood or not. mm NOW. ..a DRY CLEANER WHO DARES CHALLENGE COMPARISON! on-the-job trainees. In the case of flight trainees, entitlement will be used up at the rate of one day for each $1.25 paid to them as education and training allowances One-fourth of the lapsed time in taking correspondence training will be charged against a veteran's entitlement. Elapsed time is measured from enrollment date to the date his last lesson was received by the institution. The veteran should carefully select his program. He must decide upon his goal, the type of training that would best help him to reach this goal, and then, select a school or training establishment that offers the type of training he will need. The veteran may train in a school outside the United States, provided his course is taken in an approved institution of higher learning. Courses in bartending, dancing o r personality development are prohibited by law. However, other "so-called avocational or recreational" courses may be approved in which to begin his training. A veteran starting after the starting deadline is expected to continue until the course he is pursuing is completed. Suspension from training can be over 12 months if the veteran can prove to the VA that the suspension was due to reasons beyond his control. The veteran must meet his own expenses and, pay for his schooling with the allowance sent to him each month The VA, under the Korean Bill, does not pay tuition and fees separately to the school. The monthly allowance will be sent out after the end of each month. Cefore this is done, however, his schooling must .be verified to the VA by the inslitution he is attending. Normally, a veteran's check should go out within 20 days after the VA gets the verification. The veteran will not be paid for any period when he is not pursuing his course in accordance with his school's regular policies and in accordance with the law.

VA approval should be obtained before starting the course. To apply for training the veteran must obtain an application blank from any VA office and attach photostatic or certified copies of both sides of his discharge or separation papers, and send completed forms to th.e nearest VA office. The veteran coordinator should be consulted. The VA in turn (if application is accepted) will send the applicant a Certificate for Education and Training, which he must present to the i training establishment before he is eligible for subsistance allowance.If the veteran is aiming for a degree, he should state this type of degree on his application If just a general student or on-the-job trainee, courses making up his program or leading to his objective should be listed. Applications for institutional on-farm training should include: 1, a detailed outline of his program as set up by his school; 2, a certification from a school official stating that the program meets all standards of the law; 3, evidence that the veteran has control of the farm and that the training program will occupy his full time. Article three provides the following information: The veteran may thnage his program, but only, once, and this should be an extreme case, fully justifiable. A change in program means a I change in the veteran's goal or objective. Changes which do not effect the desired goal would not be considered, unless they involved 1, material loss of credit, or 2, an extension of the time originally planned for completing the course, j VA approval for change of program must be accomplished before I the deadline, which is the deadline days for a 12-month period.
