Deadline Near
On Veterans
Voc. Training
July 25, 1951 Will Be
Final Date For Applying
Says Coordinator
July 25, 1951 is the deadline on
uccepting veterans in any voca-
tional school under the preaent
program, it was pointed out to-
day by Phil Alford, Jr., coordina-
tor of the Burleson County Vocn-
tional Schools. In a statement for
publication, Alford said:
This is to call attention to all
veterans in Burleson County who
are interested in taking advantage
of either agricultural or business
training, that, with few exceptions,
no veteran can start a course in
any vocational school after July
25, 1951, according to the latest
information put out by the gov-
ernment.
"There is still a large number in
this county who hav° never en-
rolled in uny course under tho
G. I. Bill, and who are eligible.
"So if those, who are entitled
to this training by the government,
want to get into one of our classes
here in the county before it is too
late, it will be wise for them to
let it be known at the headquarters
of the Burleson County Vocational
School as soon as possible, so that
they wil lbe sure of an opening
when they need it. The school
headquarters office is upstaira
over the Caldwell News Office.
