Some High School
Graduates Eligible
For VA Assistance
ATLANTA—SeveraI hundred
members of 1965 Georgia high
school graduating classes are
eligible for Veterans Adminis
tration educational assistance,
Pete Wheeler, director, Georgia
Department of Veterans Service,
said today.
Under the War Orphans Act,
eligible students receive sllO per
month for up to 36 months for
full-time school attendance. The
student may attend any school he
chooses — academic or vocation
al -- provided it has been in
spected and approved by the
Georgia Department of Veterans
Service. Almost 250 Georgia
schools are approved for this
training.
The student’s eligibility is bas
ed on the service-connected death
or total service-connected dis
ability of a parent. The child of a
parent who died of an injury or
disease incurred or aggravated in
line of duty during wartime, or
under special conditions during
the period, September 16, 1940 -
December 6, 1941 and January
1, 1947 - June 26, 1950, is
eligible. Also, eligible is the
child of a parent who was dis
abled during the same period to
the extent the veteran is now re
ceiving 100 per cent service-con
nected compensation payments.
Natural or adopted children are
eligible. Neither remarriage of
the surviving parent, subsequent
adoption, or marriage of the war
orphan bars eligibility.
Age of the applicant is an eligi
bility fact, but because the law
provides many exceptions to this
requirement, students otherwise
eligible should file a claim for
assistance.
An eligible student should file
a claim for this educational as
sistance as soon as possible to
allow time for processing, and
because the Veterans Admini
stration offers a counseling ser
vice to assist students in deter
mining for which fields they are
best suited.
Field managers of the Georgia
Department of Veterans Service
will assist students in applying
for this educational benefit.
Nearest field office is at the
Courthouse. Its manager is Mrs.
Ty Cason.

said it is designed to give senior
4-H members an opportunity to
broaden their education by learn
ing more about the economic en

“The program is the basis for
a better understanding of the un
derlying business principles of
purchasing for farm production,
of providing services to farmers,
and of the methods of marketing
farm products.”
Project participants visit and
study cooperative and non-co
operative type businesses, and
then write summary statements
about what they learn on the
visits. They also receive points
for business transactions with
co-ops and non co-op firms.
During the course of their study
they develop demonstrations and
talks related to farm business and
receive points for appearances
before organized groups. The 4-
