The Lexington youth, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Sciantarelli, was inducted into the Army July 29, 1942, and subsequently was placed in the Air Forces. After being sta- tioned at Fort Custer, and at five air bases in the U.

including Bowman Field, Louisville, the Lexington man was given a certified disability discharge. Angelo didn't lose any time in applying for Federal assistance with which to enter the University of Kentucky College of -Law. In fact, his discharge came on August 19, 1944, "after a little more than two years in the Air Forces, during which time he was principally engaged as a radio operator with a five-man test crew for B-24 Liberator bombers. Here's the procedure followed by -young' Sciantarelli. in entering the university: The Lexington youth furnished university authorities with: 1.

A certified copy of his discharge from the armed forces. 2. An official transcript of his high school credits. (This applies to those, like Sciantarelli, who have not previously been in college.) Another requirement, not applying to Sciantarelli, but to those veterans who have previously been in college, involves the furnishing of an official transcript from each college or university previously at-. tended, including those at which the veteran participated in the Army Service Training Program the Navy V-12 program, or other college training work.

And the final preliminary step is the furnishing of official information, as detailed as possible, about any specialized military training for which the veteran wishes to seek college credit. The length of a course for the veteran is determined by designated authority under the Veterans Administration. In no case, however, shall a course of training exceed four ordinary school years. All Veterans who qualify at all. will be permitted one calendar year of training.

The additional time will depend on the length of service and continued evidence of satisfactory-work. tt mi ir FOOD Then yan'd better rail oa tndav and lei as rid your property of theae expensive sabotenrt because they are rostfnf xu more money In repairs each day they live!
