Even should the service man not get the job he will learn from a courteous and sympathetic source the conditions which prevent him from immediately achieving hi ambition.” The plan doesn't propose to set up an employment agency but merely offers its service to get an inter- view with the head of the firm. Some 60 top-ranking officials of business are serving as interviewers, spend- ing one afternoon a month at the office provided by the Chamber of Commerce. In Peoria, Illinois, public spirited citizens have financed another plan to return the individual—handi- capped through military service or civilian accident— to life as nearly as nearly normal as possible. It co- ordinates the activities of every possible community group, has issued a 12-page pamphlet giving its aims, functioning, organization chart and list of officers and sponsors At Stamford, Connecticut, the Post-War Plan- ning Council has a rehabilitation and re-employment Its job is to try “to fit the man for the job The council is sponsored by local, coordinating division and to place him.” state, public and private organizations public finance and research. employment Commission has issued a 23-page booklet which includes a directory for returning service men and women, giving addresses and phone numbers of various agencies having services available to the veteran. HOME-MADE PLANNING FOR VETS Many United States towns already have set up their own machinery for aiding the return to civilian life of the war veterans of World War II, examples of what could be accomplished elsewhere After the last war the job of placing the 4,000,000 veterans was badly bungled, and this time the number will be three times greater. Here are a few of the plans Business leaders of Albert Lea, Minnesota, have set up a complete program. Surveys which were financed through the Chamber of Commerce provided | practical information as to probable post-war markets, farm income, financial condition, public works and employment needs. The results showed that in spite of the anticipated large demand for many goods and | services, continued high levels of farm income and a much improved financial condition for the city, country and local enterprises—probably 593 local work- ers will be without jobs after the war from a total employment of 6,000. The essence of the plan was to provide a job for “every man who wants one at a living wage after the " So the Albert Lea men organ- ized a “risk money"” corporation, “Jobs, Inc.,” to create | jobs for the 593.

Funds will be used to * create employment in worthwhile undertakings. 1 In Birmingham, Alabama, the plan evolves around | this statement: “Any man (veteran) will come nearer achieving the employment he desires if he can have | an interview with the head of the firm where he seeks | | John Straub when her hull parted amidships, in | have sustained hull ruptures, the John Straub evident- Find the Cause (Cincinnati Enquirer) | The breaking apart of a new Liberty ship in Alaskan waters with a loss of 65 seamen is not a matter to be dismissed lightly. It is the latest in a series of incidents showing that haste in shipbuilding not infrequently has excused the overlooking of proper safety factors. It was only the third voyage for the Liberty ship the vicinity of the eastern end of the Aleutians chain. The forward section of the vessel sank immediately. Only 15 members of the crew of 80 survived in the | frigid water when rescue vessels reached the scene. As in previous instances where new Liberty ships ly was built with a number of hidden stresses—a fault of prefabrication and welding rather than basic de- sign. The Liberty ship design, which has been stan- dard for hundreds of vessels, has pretty thoroughly | proved itself. ! For that matter, of course, prefabrication of sec- | tions in the interests of speed of construction, and the | use of welding to replace the slower riveting, have ! both proved themselves to be useful and reasonably safe shipbuilding methods. We must assume that the | trouble lay in faulty inspection and welding. It is not enough for a design to be right, or a construction | method to be practicable. They must be executed | properly.

Two sec- onds later, a six-year-old girl, blonde and dimpled, tripped in. She was Phyllis Firebaugh of Eaton Rapids, Michigan, chosen by the | Veterans of Foreign Wars to pin af Poppy on the President, opening the VPW's annual “Buy a Poppy” drive for the orphaned children of ser- vice men. Roosevelt seemed to enjoy the contrast. He leaned back, with a broad grin, and remraked: “It sure is @ big relief to talk to a pretty | little girl after all the conferences | on the war. Come up here and sit beside me.” Omar B. Ketchum, VFW legisla- tive representative, sat the tiny visitor on the President’s desk. Then a battery of news photograph- ers went to work on the first pic- tures of Roosevelt since his return from South Carolina. However, there was little relief for the President in the picture- taking, though he grinned through Crossword Puzzle [z[=]>[r]>] [z[m]o]-[5] 3 lnu-lomm n!r- son 35, Unsuccess- fully §5.

This was felt to indicate that Mayo was a deep mineral district and that mining was to be permanent. P. R. Bradley, Consulting En- Igineer of the Treadwell Yukon Company, was in Juneau and expecting to leave shortly for Mayo. HE EMPIRE Extension to Annette Island of the general Federal laws governing the development and disposition of mineral lands, was proposed by a bill introduced in Congress by Delegate Sutherland. Its aim was thought to be to open that island to unrestricted, except as may be imposed by departmental regulation, pmepetung and mining of possible mineral deposits there. With 80 passengers aboard, the gasboat Alma of the Juneau Ferry and Navigation Company, left from the Channel this day for Skagway, carrying excursionists enroute to Whitehorse for the annual Victoria Day celebration. | e Commencement address to the graduating class of the Juneau High School was to be given by Gov. Scott C. Bone at the exercises May 29. | The class of 1924 was composed of the following: Lavina Carter, Miriam McBride, Alice Cass, Jessie Crook, Virginia Shattuck, Fred Gould, Jack Burford, Harold Campen, Earle Hunter, Leonard Holmquist, Curtis Shattuck, Robert Morris, Dan Russell and Albert White. On its annual inspection trip to Southwest Alaska points, the local 1U. S. Board of Steamboat Inspectors, composed of George H. Whitney |and John Newmarker, and Secretary R. A. Jones, left on the Admiral Evans for Kodiak. They were to take passage on the steamer Starr for Bristol Bay.
