been wanting to tell you and I
think this Is just ~ opportune
time, as any, to do 80. II you do
respond to this broadcast and write
the commission, and II you don't
receive a reply Immediately, please
don't assume that we are over
looking your qualifications. This
is tremendous operation. In the
II months ending last June, the
commission received close to 10000
900 pieces Of correspondence. 1t Is
running even higher right now.
Oftentimes your qualifications will
be considered by a war agency
before we have a chance to
acknowledge your communication.
And after all, that really Is putting
first things first, isn't 1t? Our
primary job is to get persons in
jobs, and to get them there just
as soon as possible.
There is one other point that I
want to mention. Some of the
engineers and some OF the econ
omists that I have had the op-
portunity Of talking with tonight
have already furnished q statement
Of their qualifications to the Ma
tional Roster of Scientific and Spe-
cialized Personnel. This roster is
prepared by the Civil Service Com
mission in cooperation with the
National Resources Planning Board.
Consequently, If you have furnished
us your qualifications In this way,
1t isn't necessary to write again.
Stenographers Wanted.
OF course, I could continue in
definitely telling you about the
needs Of your Government for
qualified persons in these critical
times. Obviously it is absolutely
impossible for me to cover the entire
list in this short period.
But there is one other position
for which we have a real need, and
which I almost forgot to mention,
and that is the position Of stenog-
rapher. If you have stenographic
training. get an application from
the Civil Service Commissions local
secretary at your nearest first or
second class post ONCE. We will
make immediate arrangements to
test your qualifications.
appreciate ever 80 much having
the opportunity OF talking with
you in this way I know that it
will not be possible to remember
all Of the facts and figures. But I
do hope that 1t has been possible
for me to convey to you some idea
OF the spirit which motivates this
service agency.
Meet the Deadlines" has been
our slogan for the past 18 months,

to know something about the condi-
tions Of work.
If SO, what should you dor Here
u the answer. Go to the nearest
first or second class post Office or
your nearest local public employ
ment office. Both Offices have the
information you deesirs. Also. they
have the necessary application
blanks.
If you I'LL out one Of these appuca-
ton blanks your qualifications for
the position will be considered At
once.
But ws won't stop there. These
are critical days. We must see to
1t that those who work for the
Government are persons who can
be trusted. Consequently, before we
tell the Navy Department that any
one is qualified to work in the Pearl
Harbor Navy Yard we make a care
full investigation to determine
whether he can be trusted.
Incidentally, our investigations
are not confined to persons who are
going to Pearl Harbor. Before we
give final approval to thousands OF
other appointments in war agencie:
we make a thorough investigation
So far, approximately 20 per cent OF
those we have investigated have
been disqualified. The investiga-
tions have disclosed that some OF
these were dishonest. In other in
stances we have had serious doubts
as to their loyalty. In days such
as these all doubts must be anc

Daring Free Style Test
McCreuth Passes Tops
Turner, U. 5. Ace

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.-A 81
year-old Canadian lance corporal
who expects to sail this summer
with his artillery regiment for duty
in the battle of Britain, rules today
as North American figure skating
king.
In one of the most dramatic fin
iSheS in the history of the competi-
ton, Ralph McCreath cut down the
commanding lead of the United
States titleholder, Eugene Turner,
and carried off the North American
crown last night by the bare mar
gin of eight-tenths of a point.
McCreath, who also holds the Ca
madam championship, executed a
daring free style performance to run
up 1888 points to Turner's 1875.
1t was a heart-breaking defeat
for the 20-year- American who
taught himself to skate.
The new champion, a senior at
the University of Toronto and a
lance corporal with the 48th High
landers, succeeds Montgomery Will
son, also of Canada, who turned
professional.
Mary Rose Thacker, 18-year-old
Winnipeg skater, annexed the wom-
