MANY VETERANS
SEEKING JOBS
Men OF Present War, Dis
charged From Service,
Hunting Work

Between 40 and 45 veterans of
the present war, discharged from
the armed services for various rea-
sons, have returned to Wilmington
and gone into essential industries.
Approximately 80 more veterans
have come back to their farm oc-
cupations, Felix A. Scroggs, man.
ager of the local branch of the
United States Employment Service,
estimated Thursday.
Mr.. Scroggs declared that Is
Wilmington veterans had made ap-
pIcation for work through his Of
flee, only two of whom were total
ly unfit for civilian jobs.
For the most part the men ac-
cepted jobs as laborers and as
semi-skilled and skilled construc-
ton workers, he said.
About 80 per cent of the veter-
ans were discharged because they
were above 38 years OF age, ne
said, and the remainder because
of injuries received in the war
and other medical reasons.
He added that two were refer
red to the Red Cross for reha-
bilitatioa, their war injuries be,
ing too severe to permit employ
ment. Nine of the job-seeking vet
Grams returned here from foreign
duty.
All the veterans were dis
charged from other discharge
areas and came here for employ
ment because their homes were
in the Wilmington section.
Scroggs pointed out that the
employment agency has repre-
sentative at Camp Davis three
days a week to interview soldiers
who are planning to leave the
Army.
Fully 80 per cent of those inter
viewed so far, he said, are resi-
dents of other sections OF the
United States and have expressed
a desire to return to their homes
Their registrations are sent to ms
employment offices at their homes
so that plans for employment car
be made before the soldiers ar
rive.
