NUMBER GIVEN
WORK THROUGH
K. OF C. BUREAU
More jobs Available Than There
Are Men Who Apply for Them,
Secretary Reports.

THE announcement last week
that there were more positions than
there were men to fill them. brought
rush Of registrants this week"
said Louis Woods Mcintyre, secre-
tary of the knights of Columbus
free employment bureau, which is
furnishing free service finding jobs
for fighters.
However" he continued, "a good
record is being maintained in plac-
ing them. Some were placed the
same day they were registered, 9TH
ers the following day and still 9TH
ers in few days. At present there
is a preponderance of office clerks
and chauffeurs. Those in need of
men so qualified are requested to
communicate with the bureau at
30 Safety building, phone r. l.
1918.
Every one knows, but perhaps
does not often stop to think about
it, that every man who was in the
service made a great financial sac
rifice. Many men are obliged to
start all over again. 1t is only just
that they be given better than an
even chance to rehabilitate them
selves financially. Those who have
been placed through the K. c. bu-
reau appreciate it so much that the
knights of Columbus feel that their
work is both a pleasure and a priv
ilege and cherish the opportunity
of being able to be of service to
them.
"One returned soldier who had a
certificate of 10 per cent disability,
acting upon the information and
advice given him by the secretary,
has just received assurances that
he will be given free tuition and
books for a three-year course at q
state university and his full pay
for the whole time. If there are
others interested in vocational edu-
cation, full particulars may be had
on application. In all cases, the
government pays the man lot less
than $65 per month while he is I'M
dergoing training and in some cases
more, and allowances are made to
the mans dependents in addition"
