Benefits and Mah- - According to the present law, this is the last year in which veterans may begin college under the GI benefits. No veteran who has not begun his studies, chosen his course, and been approved by the Veterans Administration before July 1, 1951, may be approved for educational training after that date. Since Carbon college does not operate a summer session, any veteran who wishes to begin his studies here or who may wish to transfer to Carbon college from some other school must enroll at Carbon college not later than the spring quarter of the 1950-5- 1 school year. Carbon college is proud of the record the veterans have made in their studies. They are among the best students of the college and they have contributed greatly to the growth and maturity of the school. In 1946-4- 7, there were 157 veterans enrolled at Carbon college. Since that time the number has declined to 80 veterans for the 1949-5- 0 school year. President Aaron E. Jones of the college believes that if all the veterans in this area knew that this next school year is the last yfear in which they may begin their training under Public Law 346 or Public Law 16, the number of GIs at Carbon college should be increased to 100 or more. Those who are interested in starting their training at or in transferring to Carbon college from some other school should (Continued on Page Two) The preliminary hearing for Richard Morley Hampton, 21, Royal, charged in a complaint signed by Sheriff David Wallace with murder in the first degree, will open in the Price city court before City Judge S.

However, million dollar budgets now are commonplace for the school district and the board of education has set up a tentative budget for the 1950-5- 1 school year which is an increase of $15,954.00 over the $1,203,373 budget for the school year of 1949-5The fourth budget for the coming school year is set at $1,218,327.00, it has been announced by Movell Jewkes, clerk of the board of education. As provided by law, the board of education of Carbon county will at its meeting to be held Thursday, June 29, at 7:30 p.m. adopt Its budget for the 0. over-a-milli- on Carbon College Sets Up Employment Agency for Students Carbon college has begun the establishment of an employment service office to aid its students in finding part-tiwork during the school terms and full employment during the summer, according to President Aaron E. Jones. Leland Bird, teacher of distributive education at the college, will be in charge of the employment service. This service is not intended to duplicate the work done by the State Employment Service in Carbon county, but to give more specialized assistance to the students at the college. Mr. Bird will expect to work in close conjunction with the regular employment office by assisting the students to fill out information blanks and to register with the regional office. Mr. Bird Is now contacting all potential employer of Carbon county' to find their present and immediate future needs for employees. As soon as schools begin, he will get information concerning abilities and labor desires of all interested students. He will, also, make periodic contact with employers to find their needs for laborers. To the best of his abilities, he will try to refer students to jobs for which they are qualified. During this summer, those students who would like work should call at the Carbon college office for forms to fill out conSome posicerning themselves. tions have already been found for a few students and some calls have come in for helpers that could not be supplied as readily as needed. For example, a call came recently for five waitresses, but the college did not know for sure which girls would be willing to accept such work. Any employer who wants a person for any honorable and safe work should call the college to make his wants known. me coming year. A copy of the proposed budget Is on file at the board of education office and may be inspected by anyone Interested. In addition, the public Is Invited to attend the budget meeting to offer suggestions concerning the budget prior to its adoption. At this same meeting, the board will move to Increase the item in the current budget known as instruction by $7,500, or from $698,650 to $706,150, and reduce the item known as auxiliary services" by $750,000 or from $140,305 to $132,805. This change in the 1949-5- 0 school budget is made necessary, it is pointed out, because of the increased enrollment in the schools of the district which necessitated the hiring of additional teachers and the purchasing of more supplies and books than anticipated. Mr. Jewkes pointed out that in the tentative budget for next year instruction accounts for the largest increase, a hike of or from $698,650 to $735,-43- 0.
