Chip Off the Old Block? You probably have some special college in mind for your son when he reaches the age of eight een. Perhaps your own alma mater. It's a wonderful dream. But will it come true?

Unless something is done now about this serious situation, your bright young son may not get into any college. For the sake of your children and the future of your country, help the colleges and universities of your choice now !

Kill mgsworth, Mrs. Laura Swinner- War Orphans Urged to Apply Now for School Now is the time for young men and women to start taking ac tion if they plan to enroll in school or college this fall under the War Orphans Education pro gram, according to S. T. Bran nock, officer in charge of the VA office here. The program is for sons and daughters of war veterans who died of injuries or - diseases re sulting from military service in World War I, World War II or the Korean conflict. Generally, War Orphan students must be between 18 and 23 years of age. Early Aciion . . Brannock gave two reasons for early action. First, students will have plenty, of time to arrange for admittance this fall to the col lege of their choice. Delay can result in learning that there's no more room in classes. And second, prompt action now can result in speedier serv ice by the VA, with all the pre liminaries out of the way before the rush at enrollment time be gins. , , , Month Required It normally takes at least a month from the date an applica tion is filed to the date VA gives its final approval for schooling. VA must check its records to de termine whether the young per son meets basic eligibility re quirements. Then it schedules vo cational counseling, where guid ance assists the young person's living parent or guardian to map an objective and a program of study. Final approval can come only after counseling. By waiting, Brannock said, prospective students run into the peak load of veterans applying to VA for " schooling under the Korean GI bill, causing further delay. . , War Orphan students may re ceive up to 36 months of school ing, generally in institutions of higher learning. The government pays up to $110 a month for each month in school. NIGHT SPEED LIMIT . Des Moines, Iowa U.R) State police today sought clarification of Iowa's new 60 m.p.h. night speed limit.
