Y. M. C. A. FREE SCHOLARSHIP
FOR DEMOBILIZED MEN

Returned soldiers and sailors of the,
Great. War in North Dakota are to
be the beneiciaries of fund of about:
$24,526 set aside by the National Y:
M. C. A. to provide scholarships for
returned service men. This is North
Dakota's share Of the fund of $1,000.
600, appropriated for the same pur-
pose throughout the United States,
which is being distributed among the
states and their subdivisions in pro-
portion to population.
It is part of the money raised through
the United States War Work Cam
paign for educational facilities for the
soldiers in Europe. The sudden end
ing of the war left large part Of
that money unexpended and it is now
to be devoted to the education of the
demobilized men. The sum appropri-
ated for Emmons county on the basis
of population is $1,000. This sum
will be available for scholarships i'm
Y. M. C. A. schools, Business Col
leges, Correspondence Schools, Short
Term Agricultural or Mechanical
Courses, and in any other courses or
accredited institutions below college
grade. g
A committee has been appointed for
each county for the administration Of
the fund, one member of which is
chosen by the local American Legion
The chairman of the committee for
this county is Henry H. Hanson. APP
plicahts for scholarships must be made
through this committee and all Blica-
ton blanks can be obtained from Hem
ry H. Hanson at Linton, N. Oak.
Returned service men who wish to
J tit themselves for more efficient work
in their chosen vocation and who are
in need of financial assistance may find
it greatly to their advantage to avail
themselves of the financial aid thus
provided. They are the natural and
proper benefciaries Of the unexpended
War Work funds SO generously con-
tributed by the American people for
the work Of the Y. M. C.. a. over
seas, and which the sudden collapse,
of the German resistance make it i'm :
possible to use in the way originally
intended: II. Sl! s52.fg
! There is an additional fund Of shout
J! S410O set aside by the National Y M.
G. A. War Work Council for collegi-
ate scholarships. This latter fund
Twill be distributed through the State
Educational Committee, but the local
committee may recommend such par
ties as they may deem suitable recip-
lent Of the aid which it will afford.
Applicants desiring such scholarships
] should make application to the chair
