VA Broadens Requirements
For 0n-the-Farm Training


A broadening of require
ments that veterans farms
must meet for institutional on
the-farm training under the
G. /. Bill has been announced

ton.

ity requirements for farm train
ing have been expanded to in
clude the feeding, breeding and
managing of livestock, as well
as poultry and other special
lied farming commonly fol
lowed in the area.

the G. /. Bill program if his
farms include a combination
of both types of activities.

cultural establishment must be
of a size and character, which
together with the group instruc-
ton part of the course, will ID
occupy the veterans full time,
% allow for instruction in all
aspects of farm management
of the type for which he's being
trained, and (3) assure him
a satisfactory income after COM
pletion Of the course.
Institutional on the : t m
training will not be approved
for veterans engaged primarily
in the processing, distribution
or sale of agricultural products.

BARBER ENJOYS WORK At ACE rs
after 81 YEARS IN CHOSEN TRADE

) Seyenty-fifth birthday congratu-
lations are in order today, Aug
ust 10th, for Otto Hess, the genial
and expert barber who presides
at chair No. l in the Bank Bar
bershop operated by Jack Burkett.
Otto has real justification for
being a recognized expert in the
tonsorial business-he's been at
it for 81 years! If all the hair
and whiskers he has clipped and
shaved in those 81 years were laid
end to end, they would probably
blanket the earth!
Looking back through three
quarters of a century, Mr.. Hess
yesterday recalled that he was Ia
years old when he shaved his first
man in the small town of Amboy,
MINI. Working as "the boy
around the barber shop, he got his
"touch" with a razor by working
out on the young kids of the town.
One day when the boss barber was
away hitting the BOTTLE" regu-
lar customer accepted the Ia
year-old lads challenge, II can
shave you" Otto made good his
challenge, and from then on he
was in the adult barbering busi-
ness.
At that time, young Mr.. Hess
was so short and the barber chairs
were so difficult to maneuver that
he had to stand on a small plat
form to shave his man. Otto
never did get very tall, but he
doesn't need a platform today
he could do it standing on his
head!
From his small town start, Otto
turned to the role of being city
barber, working in st. Paul until
1893 when he moved on to Chicago
for the big year of the Worlds
Fair of 1893. Later he worked
some years in st. Louis, New Or
leans and Detroit, transferring II
1901 to Toledo where he worked

Census Head Hopes

City Refuses
Sidewalk Claim

City councilmen Tuesday eve
ming refused to grant a claim
of $12.78, submitted by a local
woman who claimed she broke
her glasses July 25 when she
stumbled and fell on jutting
sidewalks in East Third Street.
During the past several years
there have been other such
claims for injuries allegedly oc-
curying in city streets or side
walks. While the councilmen
felt the local woman was very
reasonable in her request, they
did not want to pay her claim
and thus establish a precedent.
Another case against the city
is pending in courts, filed by an
out-of-town woman who report
edly suffered a leg injury when
she fell near the Lake House
Hotel.
Mayor Carl Becker asked the
sidewalk committee to check
the sidewalk in question, and to
take remedial action.
