With ths world's brow full of worry wrinkles and all of us praying for a workable peace, the beloved old "Uncle" who symbolizes our nation becomes the most important "relative" we can have! So let's pause now and then, in our busy preoccupations and silently thank God for the strength of our Government. Stephen Decatur said "right or wrong, this is my country". And the spirit of his loyalty lives on today as never before. It may be that our statesmen are not always far visioned, but their sincerity is never questioned nor their motives impugned. United we stand, the United States of America . . . the Land over which Uncle Sam is continuously watchful! Medford Pharmacy 101 North Central, Corner 6th Ph.

Parents and guardians of youngsters who, in another few years, will be eligible for higher education under the War Orphans Edu cation program should make plans in advance of date the orphan must enterC The young people, all be tween 12 and 18,. are ' those whose parent died of a serv ice-connected disability in curred during the Spanish- American War, World War I, World Was II, Or the Korean conflict. The boys and girls either are just beginning or are in high school. Similar Notice From now on, similar ad Vance notice will go to the parents and guardians of all potentially eligible youngsters who reach their 13th birthday, Brannock said. VA letters to parents and guardians noted that although the War Orphans program generally begins at age 18, the time to start thinking about college is during the early years of high school. Therefore, the letters sug gested, the high school course should be planned ;"so that it will provide an adequate foundation for a program, of education which may be pur sued later." The letters added naronf n r- snanliqi. principal will undoubtedly as sist in planning this course.!' Discuss Plans . ....... . Parents and guardians are invited to talk over their children's high school plans with VA counselors, ; if they wish. However, actual formal VA counseling will not begin until the boy or girl nears the end of high school. Brannock said the reason the VA sent out the letters was to enable War Orphans to make the most advanta geous use of their educational benefits when the time comes. It is becoming more and more difficult to enter college on the spur of the moment, Bran nock pointed out; preparation must begin long before. Under the War Orphans Ed ucation program, VA pays an allowance of up to $110 a month for each month of a student's education, to a max imum of 36 months. Young people, generally between 18 and 23, may enroll in college or in vocational courses once they have passed the age of compulsory school attendance. XJi:i .-."ii'v liiplii!
