On European Bike Tour VA News Editor's Noe: Following are representative questions answered daily by VA counselors. Full information is available at any VA office. Q - I plan to enroll in college under the GI Bill, and the college requires that I undergo a physical examination. Can I go to a Veterans Administration hospital for this exam? A - No. VA hospitals are not permitted to perform r o u t i n e p h y s i c a l examinations. You may be given a physical examination only to determine need for treat­ ment or hositalization. A - As an eligible veteran, I am planning to be buried in a national cemetery. I also wish to have my family buried there. What must I do? A - If you are eligible for burial, your spouse and minor children may also be buried in° a national cemetery. If ihey predecease you, they may be buried if you intend to be interred in the same grave. You must sign an agreement to that effect. Q - Do I have to make a down payment on a Veterans Administration guaranteed home loan? A - Generally speaking, if the loan amount requested does not exceed the ap­ praised value oi the home and the veteran meets the loan qualifying conditions, the lender may not impose a down payment on a VA guaranteed loan. Q - I am considering taking a loan on my National Service Life Insurance policy. Will I receive a smaller dividend if I obtain a loan? No. The dividends earned will not be affected by the loan.

Eleven McHenry County college students got an education on wheels this summer through a European bicycle tour in Belgium, England and France. The students and MCC instructors, Deb Jontz and Jim Patton, bicycled an average of 40 miles each day during the two-week tour. In addition to a "fun" tour, the students earned college credit for work they did preparing their itineraries and researching a variety of different subjects while they were in Europe. Ranging in age from 17 to 35, the students began preparing for the trip in March. Before they left, each was assigned to read about the area they would visit. They also attended sessions on bicycle repair, physical conditioning and the culture, history and customs of the countries on the tour as well as taking several 50-mile local bicycle trips as a group, Jontz said. Each student learned to take his bicycle apart and put it back together, studied basic first aid and brushed up on foreign languages and on currency exchange rates as well. Once the students reached * Europe they were required to attend seminars taught by Patton, to keep a daily log of their travels and reactions to what they saw, and to research a special project of sS*heir own choosing. "The projects were really varied. One student studied plants, another food and nutrition. There were students working on solar energy, landscape and ar­ chitecture and photographic slideshows," said Ms. Jontz. But the trip was not all work and no play. The students found that bicycling was an ideal way to meet local people. They traveled through small towns, stopping in English pubs for lunch and shopping at farmers markets, Jontz said. They began their trip June 21 and returned home at varying times in July. They started as a erouD in Belgium, a country which has more bicycles than cars, and which caters to cyclists with special bicycle lanes along many highways, Jontz said. In Belgium they visited Brussels, Gent and Brugge, where they were entranced by canal rides and the horse- drawn carriages. Then they traveled to Ostende, Belgium, for the ferry trip to Dover in England. "We bicycled up the cliffs of Dover in a pouring rain," Ms. Jontz recalled, but generally had dry and cool weather the other days of the trip. Once ir\ England they cycled to Canterbury, where they found that the brick streets necessitated reducing the amount of air in their bike tires. From there they went to Kemsing, a small town outside of Lon­ don. and then traveled by train to London with their bikes packed in a baggage car. While in London, part of the group visited Wimbeldon during the tennis cham­ pionships there. They also saw the changing of the guard and stayed in a hostel across from St. Paul's Cathedral, where the royal wedding took place July 29. From London the group cycled to Brighton, where they bought wool sweaters, china and crystal to send home, saw cricket games and watched hand gliders, kite flying and horseback riding competitions. They then biked to St. Leonard's, stopping on the way to talk to local sheep ranchers, and ending up eating fish and chips at a restaurant by the sea. They , visited castles there in Dover, then cycled back through Belgium and the northern tip of France before returning to Brussels for their last two days and a Fourth of July picnic. After the college trip was concluded, two students went on to bike through Luxembourg and Germany on their own, three students decided to bike through the Netherlands and Holland, and another student spent a week in Paris. Ms. Jontz explained she ^pent additional time researching possible in­ dependent study tours to be offered in the future by the college, including a bicycle tour of Scotland and Ireland or a backpacking trip to Switzerland. On July 27 the studnets got back together for a reunion, to hand in their projects and to share their memories and experiences on the trip once again. Meat Judges From Area critics. -Joseph Joubert.

The team has been asked by the McHenry County L i v e s t o c k F e e d e r s association to judge the carcass show prior to the McHenry County fair. At the state 4-H judging, the contestants had a time limit on their judging and were asked to identify 24 different cuts in detail. The McHenry County 4-H meat judging team has compiled an outstanding state judging record during the past five years. It has won first four times and placed fourth last year. However, this year is the first time that all members of the team placed in the top 10, Bill Jones said. Early Vikings Canada's eastern Ellesmere Island has been frequented by peoples of the arctic for more than 4,000 years. Links of chain mail and other Norse artifacts found there suggest that early Viking voyages ranged 500 miles farther north than previously thought, National Geographic reports.
