January Draft
Set at 26,800
WASHINGTON (ANF)-—
The Department of Defense
has requested the Selective
Service System to provide
26,800 inductees for the
Army in January 1969.
The Defense Department
said the request supports
currently approved force
levels and will assure a
timely flow of replacements
for men completing their
terms of service.
The fluctuations in draft
calls in recent months have
been due mainly to month
to-month changes in Army
replacement needs, th'* De
fense Department said.
Dec. 20, 1968, through Feb.
7, 1969.
In this case, no further or
dinary leave will be granted
if the graduate is to be as
signed overseas. This restric
tion does not apply to cer
tain students who have ord
ers specifying delay in route
chargable as leave upon
graduating or who are at
tending school in a tempor
ary duty status. (ANF)

Many Veterans
Eligible For
Added Benefits
ATLANTA - There maybe sev
eral thousand veterans in Georgia
who are eligible for additional ed
ucational benefits under recent
changes in the GI Bill Education
Program of the Veterans Admin
istration, State Veterans Service
Director Pete Wheeler announced
today.
“These veterans may have
used all their eligibility under the
old provisions of the GI Bill,”
Mr. Wheeler said, “but many are
now eligible for up to 12 months
more training.”
The new law, signed a few
weeks ago by President Johnson,
privdes that each eligible veter
an be entitled to educational as
sistance for a period of 1 and
1/2 months for each month of
training retroactive to those vet
erans with service since Janu
ary 31, 1955.
“For example, Mr. Wheeler
said, “a veteran receiving 24
months educational training based
on 24 months service many, ef
fective December 1, 1968, have
his educational assistance en
titlement recomputed to allow
36 months training for 24 months
military service.”
The new law also grants a full
36 months training for veterans
with service after January 31,
1955, provided they have at least
18 months service. Those with
less than 18 months service are
computed on the 1 and 1/2 month
of training for 1 month service
formula.
Mr. Wheeler urged any veteran
in Georgia who may be eligible
under the new law for addition
al training benefits to contact the
nearest field officeof the Georgia
Department of Veterans Service
for further information.

TREE CARE
A family building a new home
should give particular attention
to tree care, according to fore
sters with the University of Geo

of the home site trees may well
invite an insect attack later on.
