R. .0. "We understand that he is pntitled'to vocational training, even under present law, but he insists on taking a regular college course and says thac most of the men at his hospital have the same idea. After all, with his arm missing he should try to take something that will help him earn a living.

NO MEN FOR HARVEST WORK The Dominican republic lenge awaits to eause of a shortage of men to har- ized veterans. may Ko- abled erans' future educational bill, parents have no say--and rightly so! These boys have earned their right to plan their lives in their own way, and we hope do it. This is a very interesting letter, and this veteran's desire to gain a cultural education, rather than a technical one, is -not an isolated case.

More than likely he has had a very excellent technical education while in the army. Most men have.

Broad Thinking "We all have a surprise ahead of us when these great armies of men start marching home. I am afraid it is going to be a severe shock to educators who are making all these pretty plans for post-war courses of a very practical nature.

Most of these men have faced grim realties. Thsir minds hsve been stimulated by the sights they have seen, the people of other continents they have met and the problems they have discussed among tnem- selves. Most of them went away as adolescents, but they are returning as men with mature minds who will refuse to have their learning dished, out to them like their chow has been. The post-war educational program oners a real challenge to ed- scsters. Those Tetersns want to know more about their own culture, -the traditions of their own democracy, and.

more particularly, the operation of their own government. They have been adultized by their experiences and no mean chal- educator who yith of education, keyed to the adult mind, to satisfy their curiosity. They will ask uncomfortable questions, searching ones. They will have ideas of their own. And their teachers had better widen their educational techniques to meet their demands for an education that will help them face, and solve, the many living problems in the shape of things to come.

"The new OPA ruling also specifies that the dealer may make no charge for testing tubes which arc brought to his shop by a customer. However, when a customer brings a table portable model to a dealer's or repairman's shop to be tested or replaced, the dealer or repairman may charge a maximum of 50 cents for testing all of the tubes in the set. If the radio or phonograph mechanism has to be removed in order to test and replace the tube, a maximum charge of for all tubes will be allowed."
