VA Changes Rules
Aztec citing Veterans
In School

Extension to November /, 1949,
of time for enrolment of veterans
seeking to reenter training or to
change courses under the CT Bill
was made by the Veterans Adj
ministration.
The change in effective date OF
the application of Public Law 266,
which prohibits certain types OF
training under the CT Bill, was
made by Carl r. Gray, Jr., Ad-
ministrator of Veterans Affairs,
who said he granted the extern
sion to avoid working a possible
hardship on any students who
had not had time to complete
plans for entering schools before
the original effective date of the
regulation, which was September
IL, 1949.
Under the relaxed instructions,
all veterans who have made salts
factory progress in school have
until November /, 1949, to enroll
in courses of training without
the necessity of prior approval OF
VA for changes of course or re.
entry into training after once
having completed or dropped on,
of a course. q
Public Law 266, passed last Au.
! gust "a, prohibits veterans from
taking CT Bill courses for re.
irrational or avocational pur.
poses, or courses in institution.
not in existence for at least one
year. The new instruction doe:
not change this prohibition, bu'
after November L.. 1949, a new
type of certificate of eligibility
must be used, which shows the
course and school the veteran
seeks to enter. This, VA said
will enable a quick screening OF
applications for certificates Of
eligibility to make sur the train.
ing sought is permitted by Public
Law 266.

We will admit it is our own fault for not con-

let them know our prices, before they signed con-
tracts elsewhere But just for the sake OF the record
and to let the public know 'you can always do bet
ter at home we'd like to show what we would
have done.
The typical senior order is for one 8x 10 oil
painted picture, II SIX pictures in mounts and
bearing the "class of 1850" SEAL plus IL friend
ship" pictures. For all this, Smittys school price is
SITS. The out-of-county photographer who is TAX
ing most of the senior pictures asks $21.85. AS
specific example, one Union County Senior was
charged $37.40 for his pictures. Smitty's REGU-
LAR STUDIO price for the same order would have
been only $33.20 and, with the customary 1870
school discount, $2822 In other words, that senior
would have saved nearly $40 at Smittys. Moreover,
there is such thing a minimum order at
Smittys If a senior wants 13 friendship pictures,
that is all he would have to bny-not full dozen
extra at $40, the foreign photographer demands.

Albert Becker's S
Remains Buried
Wednesday p. N.
Coroner Berry
Releases Body
For Interment

Final funeral services and bu-
rial for Albert Becker, 61-year-
old Elk township farmer, who
lost his life March 6, from causes
as yet unknown, were held We'd
nesday afternoon of this week at
200 o'clock with the Estadt fu-
neral home in charge.
Burial was made in the st.
Henry's Catholic cemetery at
Harriettsville. Actual funeral
services were held two weeks ago
at st. Henry's Catholic church
but burial was delayed until the
officials reached verdict,
Coroner Jack Berry, of Mt.
Ephraim, said Monday that he
was turning over the body to Fu-
neral Director William H. Estadt
and the the words, Causes un-
known" would be written on the
death certificate while the in
vestigation continues.
Becker's body was found March
6 on the Otto Lorenz farm south
of Caldwell by members of the
Duck Creek Beagle Club and
since that time, the furor of the
investigation in this county
reached new heights in the GRIM
inal history of the community.
Headed by Sheriff Clayton Nc
Kee and the state mobile crime
laboratory experts, every possible
clue has been thoroughly investi-
gated.
Two different suspects were
lodged in the county Jail but re-
leased after they had been given
the lie detector test.
In the meantime, the reward of
$500.00 offered by the Noble
county commissioners still stands,
as well as similar reward by
Washington county officials,
should the alleged murder have
been proven committed in that
territory.
According to banking officials,
Becker is now said to have had
at least $4,000 in his possession
when he was reported missing
from his home, June 80, 1947.
Sheriff Mckee said the investi-
cation would continue until the
case has been solved.
