BUREAU OF MINES
 COMPLETING MANY
 MINERAL PROJECTS

The Federal Bureau of Mines has been conducting, during the past three years, number of war min- eral projects throughout the Ter ritory. Upon completion of each investigation, report is submitted which outlines the worth of the project at the present time.
 Southeast Alaska, in particular, has an abundance of minerals, many of which are critically needed for the war effort. These are now being developed in those cases where man. power and transportation are avail able, while others must wait until a future date. Reports on all proj- ects are carefully filed and data on the location and value of each site is accessible at any time it may be needed.
 According to Juneau headquart- CTS, four iron projects, two copper projects and a number of prelim- mary examinations have now been completed on Prince of Wales Island. Two tungsten projects have been also finished at Hyder, as well as several preliminary examinations in that area.
 In the Glacier Bay district. a investigation has been along with two nickle projects, one on Yakobi Island and the second at Chichagof Island. Molybdenum is an important ele- ment in the steel industry.

Labor has conducted uncounted millions of interviews with the rank andsile of the people to best deter mine how this return to civilian life can be most thoroughly and com petently handled. It is also an ex- pression of the Labor party's pro- gram of establishing a direct per sonal touch with as many of the common people as will be possible.
 When demobilization gets under full swing special committees, cov- ering every firm and industry, will take up each individual case to de- eide whether or not the employer must take back his former em- ploye. In cases where it is judged impractical to return the veteran to his or her job, a new job must be found, which must take into consid eration promotions which he would have normally earned during the years of service.
 Care of the disabled is regarded as one of the greatest obligations of the government. Regardless of disability, rehabilitation is held to be imperative. Employers will be compelled to hire their quote of men and women from the registry Of disabled. Special occupations and lines of work, for which the disabled are most suited, will be entirely re- served for them. Such lines are manufacture of small precision parts, matchmaking, jewelry crafts, and similar categories of work
 Those so badly sabled that they cannot be fitted into such a pro- gram will be put to gainful employ

ment in non-profit state-sponsored projects. Blindness, deafness, loss of limbs, and other such affiictions will not prevent any veteran from having gainful employment. The state will also assume the responsi- bility of training such people for these jobs
 Attention on Youth
 Particular attention will be given to youth and guidance will be avail able for the transition from educa- ton to occupation. Under the Brit ish plan every youngster will regis ter at employment exchanges at the age of 16 and report to these ex- changes once every six months. At the first registration each one will be issued his or her adult identity card.
 These local offices will counsel the boys and girls in planning for their jobs and in planning for their leisure. They will be advised and directed, their response being en- tirely voluntary. For their jobs they are advised as to the prospects and the steps to be taken to qualify for placement.
 Their hobbies will be directed, if they wish. For instance, if boy is interested in making model air planes, he is told O. local clubs and organizations which will help and promote this interest.
 There will be no apple-selling in postwar Britain. And English youth will--fnd. all the practical guidance and counsel it wants at it's command.

Here's How England Hopes to Solve Her Post War Employment Problem
By WILLIAM .RuTLEDcE III Central Press orfespondent

THE POSTWAR era in England will bring about the emergence of a New Order, in line with the pro- jected New World program of the victorious United Nations. Brit aims peacetime plans were largely blueprinted before the empires ac- tual plunge into the conflict.
 If England was to go through the fire, and hell of modern war, her leaders mapped out the framework of the New Order, which would jus tify the stupendous outlay in money, men. and materials.
 Britains industry and nanpower has been burdened just as heavily as the war directors felt that she could bear The war itself tempo rarily solved such problems as un- employment, insecurity and the wants of many people of the ra- tion. To retain, as far as possible, these gains for the postwar era was the test before her leaders.
 Regular employment, available to every willing worker, augmented by lucrative overtime remunera- ton, has put into the hands of vir- tually every Britisher a substan- tial nest egg. Today the thinking of the everyday Englishman is in terms of this hard-earned savings in the form of that nest egg.
 During the peace the British peo- pie expect to have full enjoyment of the countless goods and services, which they have denied themselves during the war. Their hopes for a richer life and freedom from the wrath of insecurity hatch from these nest eggs.
 Bevin's Job
 The Labor party, under the lead ership of Minister Ernest Bevin, has been a dominant factor in Brit ish politics. His ministry began the organization of the New Orders while the war was being prosecut- ed, not waiting until the conflict had been won to begin the program. The foremost problem was that of providing the medium through which demobilized men ard women of the armed forces would he fitted back into the civilian life from which they had been taken.
 In the solution of this problem Bevin and his aides were particu- larly anxious to avoid the ghastly and inequita~ie errors of this pro- cess in World War I The policy was, briefly, that of sparing no means whereby these service peo- pie would be given their jobs back, if able to resume them, and to pro- vide them with care and assistance necessary for their rehabilitation, if not able.
 The plan will be carried out through 400 Resettlement Advise Offices throughout England. These offices will be staffed by govern ment-trained experts and it will be their responsibility to handle and clear every individual case as an individual case. The Ministry of

for 40 patients in four different
wards. Each of the nurses, she said
was working II hours each day and
lived in a room not only inadequate.
but In bad repair. She praised the
fine spirit of both the patients and
the nurses for enduring the situa-

Such conditions were blamed by
Mrs. Barbour for the unusual
