Plans In This City

As Monday is American Legion Employment Day, all over the coun- try Eddy Glover post of this city Is planning to make special effort to find positions for the hundreds of un- employed ex-servicemen in this city and its suburbs.
 Committee Working
 A committee appointed some time ago by the post, has been working hard securing data on the number of -servicemen in the city and list of the positions they are capable Of filling. 1t was surprising to many of the members of the committee who have not been in close touch with the condition of the serxtDeMen,s to dis cover the number ofa4hcm Awho are out of a job. S
 Plan To Follow
 This condition exists All over the country and many oflthe men and their families are in dire sstraits be- cause of the lack of employment. The president has issued proclama- ton naming Monday as the day on which the American Legion posts throughout the country will make a special effort to bring before the pub lie and especially that part of the public which employs men, the con dtions which exist, The local com- mittce will attempt to find out 1t there are any positions open in the city and will make d special effort to prevail upon tho man in charge to place an cX-serviceman wherever pos sible.,
 Idea Originated
 The idea originated in Minnesota and Louisiana where community statewide drive was organized to put the iobless serNicemen to work. The committees of the American Leglon hammered away at the matter unul it was reported that every eN-serVlce- man in both states was at work ana .he word unemployed -serVicemen was forgotten and ceased to exist. The same thing is being attempted all over the country and will begin with a determined spirit on Monday. The local committee are determined to equal the record of all the cities in the two above mentioned states and hopes for the cooperation of all busi- uessmcn and manufacturers.
