So, to keep the ball rolling, for those ex-service men who are fed up on kind words but who would adare a chance to connect with pork chops regularly, The Star expects to keep publishing these letters from ex-service men, as well as letters from women workers, plain citizens, business men, employers—everybody. In the letters that follow some suggestions are made to the ex-service job hunters; one woman gives her side of the Bremerton navy yard argument; a man employe \ Arrives by Plane to the University | to give, give boys may have anetitice a great de: give, t our army all the ‘eenaliowe Would Fevote for & $200 oF $800 allowance for noldier enrolled in this War? 1?
