VETERANS NAMED TO VETS BOARD,
 VETS OF WAR N

In announcing the five appoint ments to the Alaska World War II Veterans Board last Saturday, Gov. Ernest Gruening also gave sketch of the Veterans named, telling who they are and their services in the Armed Forces during the war just ended.
 Robert E. El.is came to Alaska in 1929. He has been flying since that time for various enterprises and established Ellis Air Transport with one plane and two employees in 1886. The company has now ex- banded to 20 employees and six airplanes. Ellis was commissioned an ensign in the Naval Reserve in 1928, was called into the ser vice in the Navy Air Forces and commissioned Lieutenant in 194l. He served at Sitka, Kodiak and Attu, where he held the rank of Commander and was Commanding Officer of the Attu sector. He was released in October, 1945 and has returned to Kstchikan to resume

VETERANS GUIDE
 n xlInD TIINkAAC IA MAI
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

After you've determined that the correspondence school you want to sign up with is on the approved list and has a contract with the Veterans Administration, you'll have to fill out two forms. They are VA forms 1850 and 1950b.
 Although it's little too soon to tell for sure, there's good chance not all correspondence schools will be approved.
 When the amendments to the GI Bill were in the making, the House wanted to provide that only corres- pondence courses already in exis- tence could be approved for CT Bill schooling. That would have elim- mated any danger from fly-by- night schools which might spring up all over the place with an eye on the tuition money guaranteed by Uncle Sam.
 But the way the amendments came out of the mill, there's only the restriction that the VA must decide whether the rates of cor respondence school are reasonable and fair.
 Of course, if the VA decides a school is no good, and therefore any rates it charges aren't reason able or fair, we'll be protected.

active management of his com pany.

ENLISTMENTS IN
 COAST GUARD ARE
 SOUGHT IN ALASKA

The Coast Guard at this time is showing a special interest in re- cruiting a limited number of men for duty in the Territory of Alaska, and is sending representative from Kerchikan to six of Alaska s largest cities in conjunction with the drive. The cities to be contact ed are Juneau, Fairbanks, An- chorage, Palmer, Nome and Seward.
 The opportunities for young, physically-fit men in the United States Coast Guard are many, and fer th~5e eni.sting now there is the assurance of duty ashore or afloat in the Territory. The requirements are: be between the ages of IT and 25; be at least five feet four inches in height with weight in propor- tion; and have two years of high school or its equivalent. Applicant for first enlistment should have his birth certificate, a transcript Of high school marks Cor equivalent) and at least two statements by To- cal citizens (not relatives) attesting to character.
 With civilian jobs rapidly becom- ing scarcer with the advent of re- turning wartime servicemen, car- eer in the Coast Guard offers the solution to multitude of problems. There is steady, interesting work with unlimited opportunity for ad- vancemert for keen-minded, ambi- tious men, and the variety of posts that need filling makes it possible for the individual to realize that all-important ob-contentment." In addition, it offers ncome-security, free medical and dental treatment, government-provided or allowed-for subsistence and quarters and a yearly clothing allowance. Among other advantages, there is the chance to study toward completion of high school or college through USAFI; 20 percent extra pay for overseas duty (Alaskans included {; 30 days leave per year; free post age until December 31, l947 plus all the rights under the CT bill at the end of an enlistment. Also, up- on enlistment before July l. l946 all family allowances will be ex- i tended. All these benfits add up to make a Coast Guard career one of the wisest employment decisions a ! young man can make in the un- certain world of today.
 i A possibility also exists for the limited reenlistment of men who have served an enlistment in the Navy or have had previous Coast Guard service. Interested individ- uals have opportunity to obtain

Under the old CT Bin, 1t was pretty hard to sign up for cor fespondence course: It could be done, but only if the course was given by a school which was on the approved list for it's regular scholastic program.
 Now schools which primarily are correspondence schools can De ap- proved for CT Bill education. Judg- ing from letters I've been getting, I'd say that will make numerous ex-service people happy. Now they will be able to learn right at home and keep on with full-time jobs.
 One word of warning: Make sure the correspondence school you pick out is on the approved list of schools eligible to give ex-GI edu- cation. Otherwise you'll be stuck with the bill.
 Another word of caution: See that the school has a contract with the Veterans Administration Even though the State Department of Education may have approved IL, it still may not have a contract with the VA. A check on these two points could save you a large as- pirin bill in the future.
 No subsistence allowance is pay able to veterans taking correspon- dence courses. The reason is clear.
 The total amount the Veterans Administration can pay for cores pondence courses taken by any one veteran is $500. That doesn't mean $500 year. It means that the to- tai. over the veterans entire ell- gibility period, can't exceed s5o0.
 On reason correspondence cour- ses couldn't be approved in the past was that the VA had no apparent way of finding out how much time a veteran spent on his studies. So it couldn't determine how much time should be charged against the veterans period of eligibility.
 That bug seems to be eliminated now. Someone had to figure out how much of vets total period of eligibility would be used up while taking a correspondence course.
 So Congress figured it out by providing that one-fourth of the time spent taking a correspondence course will be charged against any ex-GI's total period.
 If you're eligible for the full four years of CT Bill education, and you take a correspondence course which lasts one year, you'll use up one fourth of a year, or three months. So you'd have three years and nine months left.
 It's that simple, which is sort of surprising.
