1 i MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1945 e i I VETERAN By MAJOR THOMAS M. NIAL This and my next few articles are {jan attempt to explain the educa- tional benefits available for ex- service people of this Global War. Before writing them, I was uncertain about the answers to several ques- tions. Too tired to take the bus, I walked over to the central office of the Vetcrans' Administration in ‘Washington to talk with Mr. H. V. Stirling. He's a veteran of the World War who is a director of the Education Service of the Veterans' Administra- tion. If you could meet him, you'd quickly understand why he’s had 27 years of government service. He kncws his stufl. Ceemingly far more important than mest of the many provisions of the GI Bill of Rights are those of Title II—EDUCATION. for the ex-service man. And get this — it's free education. Not cnly is the tuition paid by the government for you, but supplies, “kooks and equipment and the fees “for library, health, infirmary and laboratory don't cost the veteran a dime. A drcam? No, sir — a reality. But that ain’t all, Veteran. you have no Dad to whom you can write lovingly for five or ten bucks every so frequently. So, on top of all the free tuition and other stuff, you get paid. No kidding. Fifty bucks a month, if you haven't tak- en a leash on life. But if you have married (or have any other depen- dents) it’s raised to seventy-five a “‘month. That's OK if you haven't gone stork mad. And — you won't believe thls — yeu will get all regular holidays off (including the regular school Christ- mas holidays and spring vacation) without any loss of pay. You'll also get some leave each calendar year, not to exceed thirty days, with pay. Possibly you remember that a Vet- erans’ Administration representa- tive or maybe the Personal Affairs Officer at the place you got your discharge mentioned this education- al program, but maybe you didn't listen too carefully; because you were going home — and that was tbe only song your mind could hear But now that you've been home a | while you wouldn't make a mistake by at least glancing at this free| education picture. And I'd even ad- vice against a glance, because you've plenly of time to taks a leng, cere- LARGE SNOWSI.IDE SUNDAY MORNING BLOCKS HIGHWAY Early Sunday morning, one of the largest masses of snow and ice ever to come roaring down Snow- clide Guich blocked the Thane road for about 1,200 feet, but crews of the Public Roads Administra- tion had the thoroughfare open by vesterday afternoon, and today are removing the remainder of the | slide.

In 1912 there were 10 Girl Scouts. Now in 1945 there are 1,021,465 Girl Scouts. -And these million girls only represent our share of the member- ship which exists in 32 countries. Girl Scouting circles the globe and is a pioneer organization in the 4~forming of the world friendships wwhich build for international peace J8nd understanding.
