9,371 Veterans In Farm Course
More than 9,300 veterans residing in northeastern Kansas and western Missouri are taking a course of on-the-farm training either under the G.I. bill or Public Law 16.
This is the largest number of enrollees in this category since the inception of the farm training program in this area in July, 1946, the Kansas City Veterans administration said.
Of the 9,371 farm trainees enrolled in this 52-county area, 1,169 are disabled veterans under Public Law 16, the V.A. office said.
While many schools still have a waiting list of veterans desiring to take on-the-farm training as a full-time vocational pursuit, many other schools are now able to organize a new class when enough applications are received.
Veterans interested in receiving this type of training should contact the local school or other institution where the course is offered.
In addition to paying the schools tuition and other authorized expenditures, the VA may also pay to eligible veterans $67.50 to $77.50 a month while they are in training.
Veterans interested may get assistance from the Veterans bureau Strong annex C.
Art Museum Gets Italian Painting
A large oil painting by one of the old Italian masters has been presented the University Endowment association by W. E. Tyler, cement company executive, 2350 Guilford Lane, Johnson county.
The 4 by 5-foot oil is "The Falls at Terni" attributed to Salvator Rosa, who lived 1615-1673. Rosa was the greatest Italian landscape painter of the 17th century and a great source of 18th and 15th century romantic art.
Dr. John Maxon, director of the Museum of Art, said the painting has historical significance in American art. It was brought to the United States in the 1850's by Henry Shaw, founder of the famous Shaw Botanical gardens in St. Louis. "The Falls at Terni" was thus a foundation for the first great private collection of art in the Midwest.
In the picture are shown a herd of cattle, herdsmen, a bridge over the falls, a city on a hill, and on a distant hill the three crosses of the crucifixion.
Temporarily the painting will hang in the library of the museum.
Dr. Mason said it would be difficult to value the painting but that it ranks among the Museum's more valuable art works. The gift was made without restrictions.
