B. H. Duncan, superintendent of schools, announced that 36 veterans interested in taking vocational agriculture under the G. I. Bill of Rights were at the Jefferson school last Saturday and that a number of these are already certified for the work and will meet the classes each Saturday with Walter B. Miller, instructor.
"All other veterans will start their classes just as soon as their letters of eligibility can be secured," he said.
"Veterans who are interested must get these letters of eligibility and go to Boone any day except Saturday to have their letters of eligibility filled out. Lionel Ward, Veterans Service Officer, Boone, will assist all these veterans at his office any day in the week except Saturday.
Each veteran is required to take with him a copy of his honorable discharge and also a copy of his marriage certificate," he declared.
"May I urge all these veterans who are interested in this program to see Mr. Ward at once so their letters of eligibility may be approved early. Mr. Ward says he can see any number of veterans at a time," Mr. Duncan concluded.
