The Nebraska priest founded his world
renowned home for needy boys in 1917 on
the outskirts of Omaha. Originally it was
a little house which he rented by borrowing
$90 in the Christmas season.
Boys Town has since grown into a busy
community. Incorporated in 1936, it is now
listed in the U. 9. Postal Guide.
Since the moving picture told the story of
Boys Town, with Spencer Tracy as Father

Most of the 45,000 World War
II veterans taking institutional on-
farm training in Texas, Louisiana,
arid Mississippi may qualify for
increased subsistence benefits due
to changes in ceilings, rates, and
number of dependents, the Veter
ans Administration has reported.
The law, signed by President
Truman on May 4, raises pay ceil
ings, establishes new criteria for
computing income from productive
labor, and provides for partial in
creases in subsistence allowances
for part-time school training and
for combination school and job
training programs such as insti
tutional on-farm training.
Under the new ceiling^ for GI
Bill farm trainees, earned income
plus subsistence may not exceed
$270 for a veteran with one de
pendent, and $290 for a veteran
with more than one dependent.
