VETERANS ADVISED TO HAVE
ENOUGH FUNDS FOR TRAINING

Veterans with service since the
start of the Korean campaign who
are planning to go to school under
the Korean CT Bill have been ad-
Vised by the Veterans Administra-
ton to take along enough money of
their own to tide them over the
first few months.
The VA explains that under the
law, Gil education and training al
lowances can't be paid until some
time after a veteran actually COM
pletes each month of training.
Therefore, one month of the delay
will be caused by the veteran COM
plotting his initial month of train
ing.
The law also requires that both
the veteran and his school or train
ing establishment submit a certifi-
cation to the Waiter the end of
the month-to the effect that the
veteran actually was enrolled IN
training during that period.
Finally, after the VA receives the
Qualifications, it must compute how
much Gil allowance each veteran is
entitled to, and must mail out the
payments. This process, the VA
says normally will be kept down to
20 days from the date the VA re-
ceives the certification.
Because of these factors, post
Korea veterans should allow two
months before they expect check
from the government, according to
the VA. Afterwards, checks will
come regularly each month, so long
as veterans remain in training and

their Qualifications are in order.
Allowances for veterans training
full-time in schools and colleges I'M
der the new Korean CT Bill are Sic
for those without dependents; $135
for those with one dependent. and
$160 for those with more than one
dependent. Allowances for part
time training. on-the- job training
and institutional on-the-farm train
ing are a little lower.
CT allowances are paid directly to
veterans, and are the only payments
made under the new Korean CT Bill
They are for the purpose of assist
ing veterans in meeting the costs OF
their training.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
@. know I'm allowed to make
only one change of course under
the Korean GI Bill training pro-
visions. But is there any limit on
the number of times can change
schools without changing my
course?
A The law places no limit on the
number of times you may change
schools, without changing your
course. Before you change schools
however, you must apply to the VA
for a supplemental certificate. au-
thorizing you to continue training

QUEBEC, July 16.-The voters
OF Sprawling Quebec-twice the
size Of Texas-were writing a de-
cision today on the stewardship ot
Premier Maurice Duplessis. The

Legislature. The dominant party
there forms the government.

Party holds 50 Of the 90 seats ir
the current Legislature. It's prin.
cipal opposition is the Liberia,
Party of Prime Minister Louis st
Laurent. which runs the national
government.
The Liberals have made a vigor-
Gus campaign, charging the Du-
plessls regime with corruption and
favoritism, but they lack much of
Mr.. DupleSsis' appeal in the rural
areas. Rural and small city voters
have a major say in the election.

only Is legislators.

the only issue in the campaign. He

that his regime builds roads and
prohibits any trade in margarine.
He pictured Quebec as "the for
tress or Catholic and French cul-
ture in North America.
