Walter Thompson Post Comman-
der of the William Walker Post No.
214, Of the American Legion, stat
ed that thousands Of young people
have failed to take advantage of
the generous educational aids
which are available.
He mentioned in particular the
Junior G. l. Bill, which provides up
to $110 per month in educational
help for sons and daughters Of
veterans who lost their lives as a
direct result of wartime military
service. "A large portion of the
young people eligible for this help
have failed to apply" Mr.. Thomp-
son said.
Experience has proven that plans
for higher education should begin
during the Students sophmore year
in high school. "The boy or girl
who starts checking scholarship
sources and making arrangements
early is the one with the best
chance of going on to school," he
said.
"Need a Lift?" and a supple
mental guide are available to inter-
ested students, parents, and high
school officials. The publication,
prepared by the Education & Schol-
arship Committee of the American
Legion in indianapolis, is now in

that the views of Europeans in
Kenya were being virtually ig-

the Lord would make a new
covenant with Israel and Jul
dab, then at that time they
will be reunited. This will be
a covenant of grace. In this
new covenant which the Lord
will make with His people it
will not be written on tables
of stone or in tablets of clay
or paper, but the Lord Him
self will write His law in the
hearts of men. Then it will be
easy to observe them as well
