Can you change a course of ln- truction under the GI Bill? Sup ose, like R. F. F. of Lawrence lass, you start out on a two ear correspondence course study
 2 radio. And then, like the same entleman, you decide maybe radio
 nit for you, but a course ln llesmanship is. Can you change?
 Yes, with the permission of the
 eterans Administration.
 If you can give good solid req ons for wanting to switch, the changes are good you'll be allow ed to. q
 And, if you've signed up for
 two-year course, say in electri- q engineering school, and after )mpleting it want to take up
 mething else during your third nd fourth years of eligibility, sn you do it?
 Sure, if you finish the first purse satisfactorily, you can. take D any other approved course you
 ant. You must get permission Z the VA, but in normal cases that should be easy.
 Query from R.LW., Lafayette La: How can I find out what oncerns are eligible to give on- the-job training?"
 Best way is to ask the particu- ar concerns in which you are
 terested. The VA does not ap- prove training esta 9lishments un- ter the CT Bill. This is done by individual states, often the state iepartmsnt of education. You will find, though, that most repu- table establishments are approved if they want to hc.
 Question from P.J. Forest City, Pa T am employed full time in a bank but want to take some by correspondence school at the same time. Will I be en- titled to subsistence allowance?"
 No, and that would hold even if you were not working. No al- lowance is paid to ex-service men taking correspondence courses. However, only one-fourth of the time the course takes is charged against your total period of eligi- bility for GI Bill education.
 Question from LJH., Oklahoma City: T would like to get some information about homesteading in Alaska. Where should write?'
 The Department of Interior says the best place to write is the Bureau of Land Management, De- partment of Interior, Washington i 25, D. c.
