But to his family he's a shining example of an AmexTcan soldier. And o the country, every person in any of the services—Navy, Marines, Coast Guard or Army—is a GI Joe or Jane. The country says it respectfully and lovingly. For he’s a wonder of the world. But we who are ex-service don't worry any longer about what the ouartermaster, the mess sergeant, the company commander, the gen- eral or the corporal think or say. The War Manpower Commission has now changed its definition of a veteran. Previously, only men who \were discharged after December 8, '1941, were classified as veterans. Now, for the purposes of employ- ment, anyone who has served as a imember of the armed forces since September 16, 1940, date of the en- actment of the National Selective Bervice Act, is a veteran. This agrees with the GI Bill of Rights, since to be eligible for its benefits yoymust have served on or after September 16, 1940. There is only one exception. The word “on” is omitted from Title V of the Act. This deals with unemployment pay — to be eligible you must have served “after” September 16, 1940. A small point which may affect none. The total now in the armed forces is over 12,000,000. It also has been announced that there are over 1,600,- 1000 ex-service men end women of 'this war. General Hines, head of the Vet- lerans' Administration, testified be- |fore the House Appropriations Com- mittee that the then rate of release S' GUIDE OMAS M, NiAL the suggestion e | ly based in to “enroll” to pray.

It is to be held on Friday evening at the High School April 27, at 8 p. m The committee on arrangements is made up of Mrs. L. Frolander, Mrs. Vic Sparks, Miss Lottie Gaggey and Sister Mary Clemintine, the music iteacher at the Mission. A series of very suceessful Mid- veek meetings were held at the ommunity Presbyterian Church ing. The issues of “From Victory vice men are doing their OWn pray- to peace” were discussed in thé pro- | tng. But imagine the additional gram of Christian citizenship.
