Bill the student has to signify
not only what course he wants,
but what degree or objective as
well. And an advancement from
a general to a specific course
counts as a change. For ex-
ample a student in general en-
cheering who decides to spe-
cialize in electrical engineering
will use up his chance to
change. .
A student in a technical field
who decides he would also like
a teaching certificate would al
so be credited with a change.
Or even a student going ahead
into medical school from a pre-
med course.
Needless to say, a veteran
who had previously used up his
one allowed change, would be
out of luck when he wanted to
make any of these normal adj
vancement course changes"
Brown emphasized.
There is one "out" points out
Brown to veterans. On the ap-
plication form is a small Sec
ton that asks whether or not
the veteran desires help in the
choice of his training. IF he
answers yes, he can get help
by going to Fort Harrison and
there he can be advised before
his choice of objective is act
ually recorded. But if he marks
it no, his first choice is made.
; The testing and counseling
service at Montana State col
lege also can assist veterans so
that they can make maximum
use of the training benefits
they have earned by serving
their country as a member of
the armed forces.

All bridges in Holmes County except
those on State Highways are mointoined by
the county, Most Of these bridges are old
and in need of immediate replacement. Under
the law. the Board moy levy tex Of only
seven mills for maintenance Of roads and
bridges. For several years this seven mill
levy has been made for bridges oIone The
assessed valuation Of Holmes County is
$l2,052 $780, The above seven mill tax
produces approximately S84 900 90 per year.
The cost of materials and labor hos increased
and the bridge fund is insufficient to do more
than make temporary repairs.
There was in the bridge fund on April
Is, 1852 only S36,42227 Other tax coIiec-
tions for this fund for the year 1851 will not
exceed Sl7,o0000.
In the event of the destruction of some of
the bridges, which is probable, there would
not be available funds for their replacement.
Holmes County annually receives fran
the State of Mississippi refunds Of gas taxes
and Truck and Bus taxes. The funds so re-
ceived are the only funds available for the
maintenance of the county roads, These
funds have also been used to purchase road
equi pment and make repairs thereon and
also, the construction of some cuIverts and
small bridges. These funds in the year 1851
amounted to S186, 226. 16.
In order to obtoin funds for the con-
struction Of bridges, the Boord Of Supervisors
proposed to issue the $500, 10000 in bonds
and with the funds so obtained to build new
bridges of cresoted bridge timbers. The
records Of the Stote Highway Department
show that the life of such bridges is opproxi-
moteIy rs years. These bonds are full foth
