The Agricultutal Council favors
Proposition 17, a Senate Constitutional Amendment exempting
from civil service the cattle brand
inspectors in the State Department of Agriculture. Likewise, it
endorses Proposition 9 clarifying
the order of succession to the
Office of Governor.
On Proposition 1, Veterans’ Tax
Exemption, the Council has taken
no position. Proponents claim that
greater exemption and ¢reate a
problem of serious financia] proportions for the State. :
The’ remaining subjects of
measures-on the November ballot séj™
are: Propositions 2 and 12, dealing with liquor control; Proposition 5, permitting the Legislature to fix the salaries of its
members; Propositions 6, 15, and

Eligible are veterans of war
or peace who served in the armed
forces since. April 21, 1898, who

There are approximately 240

Question: Aré véterans eligible
for medical treatment while going
to school under the G-I Bill?
Answer: The G-I Bill makes
no special provision for medical
treatment, except the payment of
customary fees in a school which,
in some cases, include certain
medical services for all students.
Question: May I complete
grade school under the G-I Bill?
Answer: Yes.
