COURSES BY MAIL
MADE AVAILABLE
Employees Urged To Take
Correspondence Courses;
See Personnel Dept.
Veterans and other employees of
our companies who wish to enroll
in correspondence courses are in
vited to come by the Personnel
Department for full information on
the subject. The proper forms are
available there and veterans desir
ing assistance in choosing theii
courses of study and in making
proper application are invited to
come by.
Many correspondence schools
are approved by the Veterans Ad
ministration and therefore are
covered under the GI Bill of
Rights. The schools offer a vari
ety of courses, many of which will
prove valuable and helpful in jobs
in our plants. The courses are rea
sonable, ranging in price from $65
to $200. The GI Bill provides for
payment of a $500 maximum for a
correspondent course or courses.
A correspondence course is
counted as one-fourth time on the
veterans’ eligibility time. For ex
ample, a veteran can study a
course for a period of a year and
a charge of three months is made
against his entitlement. For two
years of study, a six-months’ charge
is made.
All of us realize that colleges
and universities have no monop
oly on knowledge. The will to
learn and to improve oneself can
find more informal outlets. Libra
ries, educational lectures—and cor
respondence schools—each in their
way can fulfill the desires of those
who are eager to get ahead.
Nobody’s Business
By GEE McGEE
GO ’WAY, BOOGY MAN
—It looks like I will soon be in a
position to stop worrying. I am
thinking of subscribing to one of
those agencies that knows all,
sees all, and can foretell the fu
ture for months and months, and
will let me know when prices will
break, and when she’s coming
around the mountain, when she
comes, meaning—a depression.
—If those fellows say sell. I’ll
sell, that is—if I have anything to
sell. If they tell me not to buy,
I won’t buy—because I have no
money to buy with. If they sug
gest that I hedge. I’ll go home and
hedge both hedges, and thereby
protect myself against everything
bad.
—If they insist that I watch my
inventory, I’ll watch it, what lit
tle inventory I might be able to
buy on credit. If they say—“watch
Brazil, what affects Brazil will af
fect us,” I’ll get a map and keep
hiy eye on Brazil. (Nuts).
—Won’t it be wonderful to
know ahead of time what is go
ing to happen? Depression, where
is thy sting? No more financial
headaches for me. Those boys are
going to tell me for only $135.00
per year just exactly how to avoid
financial pitfalls and all other
kind of falls. I wish I was smart
like they are.
NATURE’S JUMPS
Mother Nature is a remarkable
woman but she still can’t jump
from summer to winter without a
fall, or frota winter to summer
without a spring.
