These questions will be answered in this column if ad dressed as above. No replies can be made by mail, but this paper will print answers to all questions received. Q. My idea of the government giving the soldier the college edu cation is that the government pays the boy $50 per month and the boy pays his tuition, books, fraternities fee, board and room? Others say I am wrong and the boy can use his $50 for anything he cares to as long as he keeps his grades up and all other is paid to the school except the $50, which is paid in a check to him.—M. D. D., Denver, Col. A. The Veterans administra tion says that in the case of a veteran who qualified for educa tion under the GI bill, the Vet erans administration pays di rectly to the school all cost of tuition, laboratory, library and other customary fees ordinarily charged by the school, up to $500, but no fraternity fees. The Vet erans administration pays to the veteran without dependents, $50 per month for subsistence which includes board and lodging. Q. Does a naval pilot who en listed as a cadet prior ,to Octo ber 1, 1942, receive any addition al remuneration upon his return to an inactive status at the cessa tion of hostilities?—P. R. S., North Platte, Neb. A. The navy department says that each former class AVN offi cer who was initially enlisted as an aviation cadet, or who was transferred to that grade prior to September 4, 1942, will receive $500 for each year of continuous commissioned active service, bu. not exceeding seven years. Thu payment, however, does not de pend upon cessation of hostilities. The men were given pay whether hostilities ceased or not. Q. May a veteran borrow money under the Servicemen’s Readjust ment act to invest in a business run by another?—S. H., Piqua, Ohio. A. No. The veteran must ac tually operate the business which, has been purchased by a loan guaranteed by the governement. Q. When I was discharged from the army I was hospitalized and and it looks like I will be here several months. Will I lose what ever rights I had to my old job?— Veteran, Germantown, Pa. A. The Veterans adminstration says that if your hospitalization does not last for more than a year and 90 days after your discharge you will not lose your job rights. If the veteran is hospitalized af ter discharge, the 90 days in. which he must apply for his old job does not begin until he is discharged from the hospital. If you are hospitalized more than a year you lose your re-einploy- ment rights at the end of 90 days following your year of hospitaliza tion. Q. My husband has been re ported killed in action for about six months and I understand his personal effects are to be sent to me. I have not received them. Is there any place I can report this situation? — Widow, Owensboro, Ky. A.

C. X Statement Regarding Enlistments And Re-Enlistments In Regular Army Major Karl E. Nuessner, South Carolina Recruiting District No. 3 Pubic Relations Officer at 1703 Main Street, Columbia, today is sued an important statement just received from the Adjutant Gen eral regarding enlistments and re-enlistments in the Regular Army. It was pointed out that original enlistments and re-enlistments may now be made in the Regular Army for periods of eighteen months or two or three years from male persons not less than seventeen years of age provided no person under eighteen may be enlisted without written consent of his parents or guardians. It was further announced that any acceptable member of the AUS or component thereof who has performed active service therein of not less than six months shall upon hi<s ow* application be accepted for an enlistment period of one year plus the period of any furlough granted at the beginning of such enlistmerit. Major Nuessner called attention to the fact that men honorably discharged and. enlisted within twenty days of discharge will be enlisted in the highest grade, per manent or temporary, held, by him at time of such discharge pro vided re-enlistment is made prior to February 1, 1946. “Especially is the news good” continued Major Nuessner, “re garding the fact that re-enlist ment furloughs will be granted to those with not less than she months service provided they re enlist within twenty days of dis charge, also mustering out pay ments are now authorized for all enlisted men discharged for im mediate re-enlistment.” Regarding dependents of any enlisted man, it was revealed that such dependents may receive a monthly family allowance during the existence of any war declared by Congress plus six months and also during a period of enlistment or re-enlistment contracted by such enlisted man prior to July 1, 1946, consequently the longer the term of enlistment the longer the family allowanc can be paid. “The GI Bill of Rights,” con cluded Major Nuessner, “is ex tended to any one who enlists or re-enlists within one year after the passage of the ACT and is ex tended to cover the individuals first period of enlistment or re- enlistment.” All eligible men between 18 and 50 were urged to contact any one of the Recruiting stations in Co lumbia, Charleston, Florence, Spartanburg, Greenville or Green wood.
