Jdw vets act Also, if the veteran desires an advance payment at the beginning of the term, he and the school must send a written request for it to the Veterans' Administration. How ever, if he does this, he would not receive another check until the end of the second month of the term. This bill establishes the "Chapter 32 - Post-Vietnam Era Veteran's Educational As sistance Act" which is a voluntary contri- butary plan for persons initially entering the service after Dec. 31, 1976. Also, on Dec. 31, 1976, the Chapter 34 program will be eliminated. Other provisions of the new law include an increase in the VA education loan to $1,500 and increases in tutorial payments.

I "The Dutch thrive on closeness unlike .many Americans, whose sense of privacy makes them very uncomfortable in crowded situations. The Jorgensons have lived in Holland for almost a year. Pete is working as an engineer and they expect to remain for at least three years. ■¡They have traveled extensively through -put Holland, Belgium, Germany, France and ■Scagdinavia and are currently living in an ¡old farm house in Voerendall, Holland. It is ain a very popular, forested, moor-like re gion near Zundert, where Van Gogh was ¡born. The Jorgensons consider themselves very lucky that the house faces fields and “cows rather than masses of row houses. ' They were astonished at the "naivety" of '¡the (Dutch people concerning the Prince ¡Bernard-Lockheed scandal. The people re fused to believe it until faced with irrefut able proof. After the story was confirmed the (Dutch people were in a state of shock. ¡This was surprising considering the repu- I tion they have as shrewd businessmen. During a springtime visit to Weggis on the Vierwaldstattersee (Lake Lucerne) Swit zerland, the Jorgensons cruised the lake on ¡elegant, old steamers and enjoyed the al- I pine view during a ride to the mountain ’-peaks on cogtrains.
