Soldiers Can Give Full

Any implication that disabled ex-
! service men who have been trained for
| various vocations are still impaired and
incapable of doing full days work is
i an indictment against the work of the
| board for vocational education, in the
| opinion of II. L. Rrunson, chief of the
industrial relations service. He was one
| of the speakers yesterday at the close
Of the three-day conference Of state
! boards for vocational education in the
REHABILITATION building, 18th and u

| Mr.. Brunson brought out that after

the employers who give them job.
James P. Munroe. vice chairman OF
! the federal board, told how, In the early
days of the board. experts. judging from
| the experience of France and England
| thought We might need to train hfteen
| or twenty thousand disabled men. Dr.
rector UeI w. Lamkin then gave present
| day figures. which show $1,000 men IN
| training along the line of 292 different
occupations in LOO educational instl-
! tutions and $500 shops and factories.
w. /. Hamilton. chief of the train
ling service. called attention to the
fact that the three divisions of the
federal board for vocational education
are ready TO WORK IN Close Co-Opcfa-
| ton and that the new workers in the
| line of rehabilitation Of civilian dis
abled will have the benefit of the ex-
perience worked out by those who
have handled the rehabilitation OF the
disabled veterans and who are sta
toned in 100 offices all over the Unit
! ed States.
| Discuss Disabled Civilian.
! The greatest amount of time at the
conference was given to the boards
new work of rehabilitation of the

ant director for industrial rehabilita-
ton, led the discussion, which brought
out the fact of the great importance

boards for vocational education and

Easton, Md, Sept 4-One Of the most
important business transactions made in

Company and will have two OF the best
equipped plants on the Delaware and
Maryland peninsula. In addition to
these the new firm will control over $500
acres of farm lands.
Heretofore these individual concerns
have canned peas, corn and tomatoes, but
1t Is planned TO enlarge the scope of oper-
atlons and add other articles Apple
butter, peach and apple marmalade. pork
and beans dried lima beans and various
other articles will be packed, thus keep
ing the two big plants in operation the
major part of the year. All of the raw
stock for these lines will be grown largely

the Jacob Z. Shafer Company, of Balti-
more, of which Edwin G. Cover, of Fas-
the company TO Baltimore, Washington

Grocery Company will handle the prod
ucts on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
During certain seasons of the wear the
new company will run steers and hogs
on Its farms, thus utilizing the waste
from Its sugar corn and peas When
ready for market the live stock will be
handled by the Shafer Company.
This merger makes the Talbot Packing
and Preserving Company the largest
concern of its kind here. Its products
will go direct from its farms to the re-
taller under its label The new firm
will be in position to buy from Talbot
farmers more extensively than ever, and
Will offer greater market for corn,
peas and tomatoes than the two separate
plants ever did. 1t is planned to handle
from the two plants over $500 cases.
The company wants to encourage the
planting of string beans on large scale.
