JOBS FOR VETERAD} It is interesting to note that reeent surveys taken by the Army at various separation centers show that a very large proportion of discharged veterans—40 percent at one Eastern center—do not want to return to their old jobs and do not even wish to return to thefr home communities; ‘It may well be that released servicemen feel rest- le: nd dissatisfied to an extent that exaggerates the desire for change. These men also are being let out. at 4 time when opportunities for employment facilitate shifts from familiar uncongenial activitiés to more satisfying kinds of work But even allowing for special circumstances that make for restlessness, the results of the survey indi- cate that the problem of demobilization at the end of the war is going to be more complicated than it appears to be. Not only will former jobs have dis- appeared in many cases, making promises of rein- statement impossible of fulfillment, but old jobs still | available may have lost their allure. day to You." Opportunities for acquiring new skills will be open to veterans as a result of legislation providing Liberal provision also will be men to complete their for vocational training made to younger education There are also indications that the Civil Service Commission is making plans for the hiring of return- ing veterans in government jobs. One member of the commission makes the statement that the government is under obligation to open up positions for thousands of returning veterans who had not held government positions prior to enlistment enable Bea( Wl\he\ (Washington Post) Nothing, in our considered judgment, has been so0 debilitating to American literary style as the con- gratulatory telegram. It exalts the cliche and apo- theosizes the obvious. Time was when no marriage was considered sanctified, no anniversary official and no birthday properly hallowed without a shower of confetti in the form of Western Union’s or Postal Tele- graph’s precisely rectangular message forms. These were generally indistinguishable from one another in sentiment and, for the most part, very nearly identical in phraseology. So formalized, indeed, had the congratulatory ritual become as to rely often upon the jejune, though florid, stereotyped felictations prescribed by the telegraph companies. Even more emnacing than this banality, however, was the sense of obligation, occasionally experienced, to make congratulatory telegrams original and witty ‘Wit and originality are difficult enough to come by ven with unlimited space at one’s command. Within the narrow confines of the standard 10-word message | hey are hopelessly elusive. Yet innumerable man- hours were consumed in this frustrating effort to be side-splittingly funny by wire. And who can forget the mayhem done'to these bon mots by the vagaries of teletype. Telegrams which convulsed their senders generally left recipients coldly unamused or painfully oppressed by the prospect of composing an equally hilarious reply. These are some of the considerations which impel | us to view with sympathy the protest lodged a few days, ago by the Ametican Communications Associa- tion (CIO) Union of Telegraph Workers against a Western Union Telegraph Company request for per- mission to resume transmission of congratulatory tele- | grams. The president of the union argued that these | messages would impede the company’s wartime service. This, it’ seems: to us, is uncontestable. 'Indeed, we go beyond it and question whether the resumption | of congratulatory telegrams when the war is over will not impede the peace—or at any rate make it a good deal less beatific than our dreams anticipate. We yield to none in our enthusiasm for the tele- | gram as an announcer of visits, a dispatcher of news, an expediter of business or even an expresser of con- dolences. But as a clasper of hands and a wisher | of joy—uh, uh, ixnay.
