Information for
Korea Veterans
Entering Schools
The some 5,000 Georgia Korea
veterans who expect to enter
schools for the first time this
fall under the Korean GI Bill
were urged today by J. M. Sla
ton, Jr., Manager of the Veterans
Administration Regional Office at
Atlanta, to file their applications
now to avoid unnecessary delays.
Application forms may be ob
tained at any VA Office. The
completed application, along with
a photostat or certified copy of
the veteran’s separation paper,
should be sent to the VA Region
al Office, 105 Pryor Street, N. E.,
Atlanta 3, Georgia.
To help veterans going to
school for the first time make
their arrangements in advance,
Mr. Slaton issued a check-list of
steps that must be taken before
they enroll:
(1) Choice of a goal, and of a
training program that will lead
to the goal. Since the law allows
a veteran only one change of pro
gram, he should make sure he
chooses correctly;
(2) Veterans who are not sure
about their GI training goals may
request vocational counseling to
help arrive at a sound choice. Fill
in the appropriate space for
counseling on VA’s GI training
application form;
(3) Veterans must be sure the
course they plan to take has been
Gl-approved by the State. Gener
ally the school can tell them. If
not, this information is available
at the VA Regional Office at
Atlanta;
(4) Veterans should complete
arrangements for admittance to
their school before filing applica
tions with VA because they must
know before-hand whether they
can meet the school’s require
ments for admission;
(5) Send applications to VA as
soon as possible, after complet
ing arrangements for admittance
with the school. This will enable
VA will have to write to the
may develop before school starts;
(6) Check your application
carefully before mailing it to VA.
With an incomplete application,
VA will have to write ot the
veteran for the missing informa
tion. A photostat or certified
copy of the veteran’s separation
paper must be included.
(7) Veterans with dependents
should have the necessary proof
of dependency ready when VA
requests it. For a wife, this would
mean a photostat of the marriage
certificate and, for a child, a
photostat of the birth certificate;

The Emmanuel Baptist Church

The land for the building was
given by Roy Westberry, one of
the charter members. Nearly all

done by the men of the church.
The church now has 178 mem
bers, 235 enrolled in the Sunday
School, 166 enrolled in Training
Union, 26 in the Brotherhood,
166 in the W. M. U. and 45 in the

cent of which will go to the

Through the Agricultural Ex

000 boys and girls and 50,000
farm women are “students” of
the University of Georgia by vir
tue of their enrollment in 4-H
and Home Demonstration Clubs.

pecan weevil
ON INCREASE
George H. Firor, Exension hor
ticulturist at the College of Agri
culture, says the pecan weevil
can cause serious loss to this
year’s pecan crop if it is not con
trolled. He reports that the pest
is increasing in abundance in
most pecan producing states of
the Southeast. County agents can
furnish information regarding
control methods.
