J. L. BENNETT
900-F-2, Elgin
Q. I am going to college under
the G-I Bill and would like to
know whether I will have to re-
fund the tuition if I leave school
gefore the end of the school year?
A. If you drop out of college be-
fore the end of the period for
which tuition has to be paid by
Veterans Administration, you will
have to pay VA for the time you
did not attend school or you will
l<*se the training time covered by
the payments.
Prior notice from the Veteran#
Adminstration will be sent to vet-
erans whose National Service Life
Insurance term policies will start
expiring on or after October 8,
1948.
The notice will be sent two
months before the expiration of
the original policies?. This vill
give the veterans time to convert
their term insurance to a perman-
ent NSLI plan or renew their
term insurance for an additional
five-year (period. Renewals may
be made without a physical ex-
amination, but at a higher pre-
mium rate based on the veterans'
attained age at the time of re-
newal.
VA stressed the fact that veter-
ans who plan to renew their term
insurance should submit their re-
newal application, plus a premium
payment, prior to the expiration
date of the original term policy.
More than a million and a half
veteran* were in training under
the provisions of the GI Bill on
September 1, 1948, VA reported.
Overhalf—871,000—were studying
in schools and colleges, with 267,-
000 enrolled for institutional on-
farm training and 414,000 taking
training on-the-job.
Some American citizens who ser-
ved with the Royal Canadian Air
Force and are eligible V> receive
War Service Gratuities" from the
Canadian Government, have not
applied for those payments al-
though the RCAF has been try-
ing to locate them since the end
of the war.
The men, many of whom joined
the U. S. Air Force after service
with RCAF, a re Entitled to a
bonus of $7.50 for every SO days'
service in the RCAF, plus an ex-
tra 25 cents for every day of over-
seas service. In addition, for each
period of 183 days of overseas ser-
vice in the RCAF, an amount will
! e paid equalling seven days' pay
and allowances convputed on the
rank held at the time of discharge
from the RCAF.
Those eligible to receive the
payments may apply in writing
to: The Air Member, Canadian
Joint Staff. 1760 N. Stnet, N. W.,
Washington, D. C.
More than *'ve and one-quarter
million World War II veterans
had taken some type of training
under the Gl Hill from the incep-
tion «>f the pmgram until Septem-
ber 1, 1948, the Veterans Admin-
istration reports.
On that date, 1,553,000 were
still in training awl 3,742,000 had
completed or discontinued their
training
Q Are dependents of a World
War I veteran, who died of caus-
es not due to service, entitled to
death pension ?
A. In most cases, they are en-
titled to death pension benefit*.
The widow is disqualified if her
annual income exceeds $1,000, or
$2,500 if she has a child or child-
ren. A child is ineligible if his or
her income exceeds $1,000 per
year. A widow loses her entitle-
ment upon remarriage, and child-
ren normally become ineligible
when they reach age 18.
DIOCESE TO HONOR
BISHOP QUIN
(The following article was clip-
ped from the Houston Chronicle.
Bishop Quin has many friends in
Bastrop and is a frequent visitor
here.)
In the same church where he
was consecrated a bishop 30 years
ago, Bishop Clinton S. Quin of the
Episcopal diocese of Texas will In'
honored by the members of his
diocese in a sniple worship ser-
vice next Sunday. October 31, at
8 p. m.
Some of the people who filled
Christ Episcopal Church, Texas
and Fannin, on October 31, 1918,
and spilled out onto the church
lawn to see young Clinton Quin
consecrated, will come to pay their
respects at the choral even-song
<ervice a week from today.
The vested clergy will march in
procession preceding the service,
and Rev. S. Moyian Bird of St.
Peter's Church. Brenham, the man
who nominated the bishop for his
position In 1918, will participate
in the service.
Bishop to Preach
Choirs from churches all over
the diocese will provide music, and
Bishop Quin will preach the ser
mon. The bishop and Mrs. Quin
will be honored at an informal
dinner for clergymen ami their
wives following the service.
For 30 years Bishop Quin has
worked unceasingly in the 57
counties of the diocese of Texas,
building—building churches, build-
ing ministers, building young peo-
ple to become faithful members of
the church.
Simple statistical figures on the
growth of the diocese since he
took over reflect the untiring work
of this man, who quit school at 13
to go to work, and once studied
law in night school.
The 34 parishes of 1918 have
giown to 49 today, and the four
Kpiscopal churches which were in
Houston that year have expanded
to form 16.
There were (>910 communcants
in 1918; today 25,098 fill the
church rolls of the diocese.
His Influence Strong
But the figures which show
most the tremendous influence of
the bishop on his parishioners are
the 60 ministers he has ordained
to the priesthood since 1918, and
the *!,{ young people who have an-
nounced to him their intention to
enter the ministry.
For it is this field that Bishop
Quin, whose remarkable person-
ality has been felt strongly in ev-
ery phase of community and
church life, has put forth his most
thoughtful effort.
And it was for the young peo-
ple that many years ago the bishop
started the Young People's Service
leagues, which served as a pat-
tern for similar organizations all
over the United States.
Give Youth (tpport unity
It is the bishop's philsophy that
youth should be given an oppor-
tunity to find out anything it
wants to know about religion, ami
that ministers to fill the pulpits
should come from local sources.
Bishop Quin, who took private
tutoring in Latin, Greek, mathe-
matics, logic and history in order
to pass entrance examinations to
Virginia Theological Seminary,
has served faithfully any and every
enterprise which sought his help.
And this man, who always gives
the appearance of being 10 places
at once, has been a ^ource of
practical, tolerance spiritual aid to
anyone seeking his counsel.
To his tiny office may eon* •
man who attempted suicide, or m
worried mother, or an old frioaii
just dropping by to say "hello.'*
Kach finds as much time a he
needs in the busy schedule of the
bishop.
A native of Kentucky, Bishop
Quin first came to Houston m
rector of Trinity Episcopal Church.
Main and Holman. He remaiaad
in that position only a year be-
fore becoming bishop.
From where I sit... Jy Joe Marsh,
Want To Join
Our Club?
Newcomers to our town are puz-
zled when they hear talk of "The
Barbecue Club." Want to know who
can join, and what the purpose is.
Well, the answer is: any one can
join who's neighborly inclined. The
purpose is simply to enjoy good
food, good beer and ale, good con-
versation— all towards getting to
know one another better.
Every other Saturday, at one
farm or another, the pit is dug,
and the fire started. And by sun-
down, neighbors from miles around
l ave come together—the women
contributing cakes, pies, and
the men contributing the meat fa*
barbecuing, and the beer or al*.
From where I sit. it's this siawls
wholesome side of country life aa
America —its spirit of good-fella**-
ship — that makes for tolerae*
and better understanding
neighbors.
As I say. Neighbor, any ono<
join up! So come along
from this Saturday.
