FRED AND JERRY EN- TOUR

Fred Gagne and Jerry Labby have
returned from tour by automobile
that took them as far north as Mon
treal, Canada, Quebec, St Ann de
Beaupre and other points of interest.
They were gone twelve days.
Both Fred and Jerry, having leis-
ure time on their hands Just now, de-
cided to pass some of it in a sightsee-
ing trip. They loaded little oil stove
and some provisions in their machine
and chug-chugged out of the city
headed northward. They planned out
no schedule and made the trip in
leisurely manner, stopping as long
and as often as they pleased, most of
the time sleeping in hotel beds, but
now and then spending a night in the
car after cooking meal by the road
side.
They journeyed northward through
Nashua and Manchester. crossed into
Vermont and passed up through Lud
low, Rutland, Vergennes and on to
Burlington on Lake Champlain. This
was the first place, they say, that
showed signs of life.
On up to Montreal where they
spent Sunday and took in all the
sights. Then into Quebec and visit
to the famous shrine of St. Ann,
where there is a magnificent cathe-
dral. Back again to Montreal and
then southwark into New Hampshire,
skirting the foot of Mt Washington,
which they did not care to climb, they
once again reached Putnam after a
pleasant trip without mishap of any
kind.

MEN GET
lob PREFERENCE

Although there is a desire on the
part OF Congress. the heads OF az
ecutivc departments, and the Civil
Service Commission 20 recognize 10
all proper ways the claims OF return
ing soldiers, sailors. and marines TO
employment in the classified civil
service. the Civil Service Commission
feels that in order to avoid misap-
prehension certain facts should be
brought 10 the attention Of the men.
The law provides for certain pref
erences in appointment in favor OF
discharged soldiers, sailors, and ma
rines. II should be understood. how
ever, that preference claimants must
qualify in open competitive exanina-
tions unless they left the classified
civil service to enter the military or
naval service.
These examinations are announces
from time to time TO meet the needs
OF the service. They must be adver-
tised for a sufficient time to give
them due publicity; then the papers
must be rated, registers established,
and claims for preference passed
upon.
An act OF Congress or February IS,
1919. makes mandatory the reinstate-
ment to their former positions Of All
Government employees who were
drafted or who enlisted in the mill
tary service of the United States In
the war with Germany upon their
application and il they have received
an honorable discharge and are quail
i1ed for the work.
