FBI Charge Vet
School Defrauded
100000

Washington, y C - The Federal
Bureau OF Investigation is inves-
tigating charges that southwest
ern Texas private school conduct
ing training course for veterans
has defrauded the Government OF
more than a hundred thousand dol
lars by padding its veterans en-
rollment, it was learned last Tues
Gay.
The school was ordered closed
last August % by the Texas APP
prevail Agency after a charge OF
falsifying records had been lodged
with the Veterans Administration.
The name Of the person who made
the charge was not disclosed. The
VA, however, turned the matter
over to the Justice Department
and FBl investigation was order
eG.
Neither the FBI nor the Veter-
ans Administration would comment
on the investigation, but 1t was
learned that the school is spec
ifically charged with collecting
fees for more veterans than were
actually enrolled and that the F
BI'h preliminary investigation had
disclosed sufficient evidence to
warrant further investigation.
The Texas school case, 1t was
learned, is not the only one that
has been referred to the Justice
Department by the VA. A Veterans
Administration sourc said that the
operation of training schools for
veterans is approaching nation
al scandal on the west coast.
On the other hand, 1t was learn
ed at least one official Of such a
school is on his way to Washing
ton TO make counter charges again
st VA officials in his state.
Trade schools conducting train
ing courses for veterans cover a
wide field. Operation Of them, 1t
was said, has ben under close OBJ
seryation because of recent charg-
es that some of the schools were
failing to comply with require
ments and regulations under which
they were approved for veterans
training courses.

From q reading Of the Congress

He charged that the purpose was

pronounced that we are heading
into a time when it will be called
American to practice and preach
hatred Of races and religions and

Mr.. Wallace said that no one
needed to look further than the
"Thomas-Rankin committee to see

ant, and did not look so serious
ly upon childish play.
The Dutch settlers had many
games. They were very fond Of
bowling on the grass. A park
in New York City. Bowling
Green, was named for the game
that was played there. The
Dutch also played tick-tack, a
complicated sort of backgam-
mon; and trock, on a table
somewhat like a billiard table,
in which an ivory ball was
struck under wire wickets with
a cue.
Coasting on sleds became a
popular sport. The children
played with marbles. tops,
hoops, kites, balls, even as do
the boys and girls of today. Such
familiar games as prisoners base,
hop-scotch, tag and leap-frog
were we'll known. Running on
stills was a favorite diversion.
In the South, good times were
common. Dancing was consider
ed very important. Our forefath-
ers, however, knew nothing of
our modern dances, not even the
waltz. The stately minuet, the
quadrille, the Virginia Reel and
a number of country dances
were among their favorites.
The boys of the South had
much healthful out-of-door sport.
They went hunting with their
fathers. They were taught to
ride, to shoot and to fish and,
when they grew older, went fox
hunting with their elders. Girls
also were taught to ride, for
many of the roads we're so
rough in the winter and early

things in the life of the colonial
child. In the seaport towns,
sweetmeats seem to have been
plentiful. (The word candy was
not yet common.l Ships brought
sugar and molasses, chocolate
and ginger.
Apparently such dainties were
far more common in the colo
MES than in England, for
one writer says that it was in
these long-ago days that the
foundation was laid for the
"American sweet TOOTH"
"When a ship came into port
with 30 boxes of sugar candy
and so tubs of rock candy, poor
indeed was the child who was not
surfeited with sweets. There wa
a sequel, however, to the tooth
some feast, a bitter dessert. The
ship that brought 80 boxes Of
sugar candy also fetched 100
boxes of rhubarb and 10 OF
senna." And you may be sure the
wise parents did not spare the
bitter dose.
The value Of a medicine was
then judged according to its bit
terness. In those days sugar
coated pills had not been invent
ed. Many of the medicines were
made from herbs such as tansy,
thoroughwort, sage and penny
royal. A mixture of sulphur and
molasses was supposed to be good
for the blood in springtime, and
the other doses were hardly less
unpleasant.
