Men, women and chil dren love it, whether in time-honored blue jeans or in high-fashioned ap parel, observe extension . clothing specialists, North Carolina State Univer sity. Denim originated in Nimes, France, with a weave, tough enough for workers in the field and colorfast enough for sail ors and fishermen at sea.

Prospectors wore denim pants and cowboys soon found this fabric ideal protection from sage brush and cactus. World War II gave blue jeans another boost up the ladder of success. Not on ly were sailors and Coast Guardsmen issued blue jeans as standard dress, but fabric shortages led civilians to seek durable denimwear, too. Today, the adoption of denim by young people as their wear-everywhere fashion and the general climate of casual living keeps denim soaring in popularity.

VA Will Pay Few of the 727,000 veterans and servicemen enrolled in GI Bill college courses this fall will need tutorial help, but the Veterans Administration will pay for it if needed. VA Regional Office Director H.W. Johnson said that the program provides for payment of tutoring costs, not to exceed $50 in any month, up to a maximum of $450. The benefit is not charged against the veteran's or servicemen's basic education entitlement, Johnson pointed out. Any post-secondary trainee is eligible if he trains half-time or more and has a deficiency in a subject required in an approved program of education. In order to receive payment for. tutorial assistance, Johnson advises eligible GI Bill traniees to complete a VA application and have it certified by the school. Applications should be sent within a year of the tutoring to the VA Regional Office which has the veteran's claim folder. Only college trainees are eligible for tutorial assistance. Since it became available in March 1970, 48,000 trainees have received tutorial assistance at a cost of $4.7 million. The benefit was not available under the World War II or Korean GI Bills.
