Sample Copies Furlough Form A samDle copy of the applica tion form and instructions to en listed men of World War H in applying for their unused term inal leave or furlough pay was received this week by the de partment of veterans' affairs, from Major Gen. G. B. Erskine, re-training and re-employment administrator. An accompanying letter to Di rector George E. Sandy said that all community advisory centers and county veterans' service of fices would receive the sample forms shortly. Although postoffices will re ceive supplies soon for veterans, the sample form will enable ser vice officers to study the instruc tions and be ready to help veter ans make their applications when the time comes, Sandy said. Earlier doubt as to whether photostatic copies of discharges would be accepted as proof of military service was clarified as follows: "We know you were glad to learn that the armed forces acted favorably on the recommenda tion that photostatic copies of discharge papers, as well as or iginals, will be accepted." "Pass," "liberty," or periods of temporary duty are not chargeable as leave or furlough, nor are sick, convalescent, or he habilitation leave, but "delay en route" will be, the instructions indicate.
