Education
-
Program For

Although most students en-
rolled under the War Orphans
Education Assistance Program
pursue college studies, eligible
children may also take training
in business and vocational
schools, Leon Fields, Manager
of the Veterans Administration
Regional Office, said today.
Students who have completed
their high school education but
do not desire to attend college,
and students who drop out of
school when they pass the age
of compulsory attendance, age
of 10 in Delaware, may enroll
for business or vocational
training approved by their vo-
cational counselors, Mr.. Fields
explained.
Prospective students are ell
igible for enrolment under the
program if the death of their
veteran-parent was attributed
to an injury or disability in
Cured in wartime service or
in some cases of extra hazard
GUS peacetime service. The 9TH

Generally between the ages of
l8 and %, these students may
receive as much as $1,000
a month for as many as 80
months of training when en-
rolled in full-time, approved
courses, and smaller payments
for less than full-time enroll
ment.
individuals are advised on
their course of training by ed
ucational or vocational coun-
selors, MIR. Fields said. Guard

weed contamination. He offers
this illustration: If a grower
decides to sell all of his crop,
he will probably get around
$2.25 per bushel for 1t. Ger
titled seed will cost about $3.50,
an addition of only $l.25 per

Vocational Training
For More indians

A change in Bureau of Indian At
fairs regulations which will make
more American Indians in the 49,
IS age bracket eligible to receive
vocational training with Govern
ment financial assistance was an
nounced by Secretary of the Interior
Stewart L. Udall.
Under the former rules, only In
dians living on trust or restricted
land under jurisdiction of the Bur-
eau of Indian Affairs were eligible
for such training.
The new regulation broadens
this in two ways. First. it extends
the benefits of the vocational train
ming program to all Indians residing
within the exterior boundaries of a
reservation under jurisdiction of
the Bureau regardless of the title
status of the lands on which they
live. Secondly, it provides that vo-
cational training may be furnished
to Indians living near reservations
if denial of the services would have
a direct effect on Bureauprograms
within the reservation boundaries.
This latter provision is inten-
ded to cover situations where In
dams living near reservations are
in urgent need of vocational train
ing to improve their economic sta
tus and, if denied the service, would
return to the reservation to be ell
igible for Bureau help.

Our main job at present is to cut
down Tribal vehicle accidents. Ac-
cidents do happen regardless how
carefully you perform the job, but
accidents also can be reduced to the
minimum.
1t is job of safety personneltc
work with the people and to instruct
them the safe means and ways to
operate a vehicle and equipments.
To familiariZe them with road signs
and traffic regulations SO people
can become safety conscious.
An organized Tribal Safety Pro-
gram has been in an existence for
only one month. During this period,
inspections were made of some
Chapter Houses to find and correct
hazards that may exist in the build
ing. Some faults and hazardous con-
ditionS were found in existence and
recommendations were made to
correct these conditions.

Navaio Bookmobile
Receives Notice

'SThe Christian Science Moni-
tor" last month published an ar
ricle written by Dorothy L. Pills
bury, Santa Fe. New Mexico. which
empha sized the eagerness on part
of Navajo youngsters to read when
the opportunity is available to them.
The article points out the fact
that a bookmobile was made pos
sible for Navajos near Aztec. New
Mexico and other rural areas by the
New Mexico State Library inSanta
Fe. There are four other bookmo-
biles in operation for Pueblo In
dians and non-Indians living in
rural areas in New Mexico. Her
NINA Tsosie, Navajo, is shppering
one in the Aztec area.
Before the oil and uranium days
the children were with few excep-
tions without good clothing. Many
were illiterate; but. this has
changed according to Dorothy
Pinsbury. Now, moneyis appropri-
ated by the Navajo Tribal Council
to buy and issue clothing to needy
children in schools.
Other appropriations are made
for further education On college and
university levels. The writer re-
ports that once-a-month run into
the Navajo country has been very
worthwhile. ''Not including child
ren's books, non-fiction amazing
ly is in greater demand than fic-
tion."
Both young and old people were
reported eager to check out books
on how-ro-do-it kind of Information
such as "--how TO repair car, how
to build a house, how to install
plumbing, federal land laws and
history" Three books on atomic
energy circulated at one stop.
A Navajo man rode up one time
on horse back and asked how long
the bookmobile was going to be
around. Within half an hour, he rode
back to buy books for his son who
went back to college. They were
books on American Political Par
ties" and ''Race Prejudice and Ed
ucation."
The article continues to point
out that $50 books were checked out
in one-day trip of the bookmobile.
Pillsbury wondered why the
books were just like new after they
were used over six months period
but she remembered that at a coun-
Gil meeting there was cry, ''Un-
