Welfare Agencies
Urged by Hines 10 Aid
Veteran Read djusting

Brig. Gen. Frank r. Hines, Vet
Grams Bureau administrator, yes
terday called on welfare agencies to
support Government programs for
veterans by helping them get re-
adjusted in their communities.
Speaking at a luncheon meeting of
the Council Of Social Agencies, Gen.
Hines cited war marriages, among
them soldier marriages to foreign
brides, as one problem where the
family case worker may have to
take q hand.
While the obvious and outward"
readjustment problems of the vet
Grams will be taken care of by
Government agencies, veterans or
ganizations and labor and business
groups, Gen. Hines said, social agen-
cies can assist in giving guidance,
encouragement and "a helping
hand"
Tuberculars May Be Problem.
Case work agencies, he said, also
could help in persuading tuberculous
veterans to remain in Veterans
Administration facilities as long as
necessary. Veterans suffering from
tuberculosis may go AWOL from
veterans hospitals, he pointed out,
unless they and their families
understand the Importance of treat
ment.
In some cases, he added, the pro-
gram provided for by the Govern
ment may be thwarted by difflcul-
ties at home. The veteran taking
a rehabilitation or retraining course
may get discouraged or his family
may disagree with his retraining
program. Skillful case work, he ex-
planned. might be needed.
Social agencies, including church
and recreational services. Gen. Hines
said, could help in keeping veterans
informed of their rights, educating
employers to take disabled veterans,
providing recreation and proper
housing and generally establish

ends. While these youths may have
had no part in the war, he pointed
out, they will be seriously affected
by the planning of Government and
social agencies when they start look
ing for work. .->
Social agencies. he warned, will
have to take more responsibility in
job counseling. He advised the
council members to learn how effec-
lively the needs of young people are
being met as well as what the post
war employment needs of the COM
munity will be.

1--WE got my
second Wind''

Sure, I'm tired of war.
Sure, thought we'd have the Germans
licked by now.
Sure, I've been thinking ahead about
my job in peace.
Sure, I'd like to buy new car with new
tires-and new kitchen for our home.
Sure, | could use good, long rest.
But the General has asked for more and
then still more ammunition.
Wars are won by men who march that
one extra mile -and shoot that one
extra bullet.
Wars are won by men who stick it out.
A lot of Americans before us have
stuck it out-the men at Valley Forse
Lincoln himself-the lost battalion in
the Argonne Forest.
A lot of Americans are sticking it out
today-the men closing in on Berlin
and in the heat of the jungle in the Pacific.

I'm sticking it out on my war job.
I've got my second wind.
Until this war is settled the way we
want it settled, | know America still
needs me.

about achieving their desire.
The best information / can give
them Is furnished by Nelson M.
Shipp, head Of the State Division of
Conservation in Georgia. He tells
how the young people got the vote
in his State, the only State in which
1t has happened thus far. Appar-
entity thanks must be divided be-
tween former Gov. Eugene Talmadge
OF Georgia and the present young
Governor, Ellis Arnall. Mr.. Tai
uadge, veteran and unpredictable
politician-the only thing constant
in his career being his famous red
salluses-gets credit for making the
young people so mad that they went
after the vote in order to go after
him. Mr.. Arnall's credit comes
from his active efforts in support Of
the young folks campaign,
Stirred Up Youth.
Mr.. Talmadge had stirred up the
young people of Georgia by firing
university professors and otherwise
interfering with the States schools
to an extent which caused the
schools to lose temporarily their &C
credited status. The students used
this episode to convince Ellis Arnall
of their stake in State affairs. Fur
ther. they called attention to the
vigorous battle they had put up
against Gov. Tslmadge, even with
out the vote. to indicate the kind
OF support they could give Mr.. Ar
nall for the liberal State program
he was proposing. In any case. MIR.
Arnall got behind their demand for
a constitutional amendment to
bring the voting age down to l8 and
made 1t part Of his campaign for
Governor.
The young folks themselves organ
ized by counties and obtained
pledges of many members of the
State Legislature in behalf of the
amendment. When the Legislature
voted to submit the amendment to
the people the boys and girls re-
doubled their campaigning efforts
and when the votes were counted 1t
was found that they had been sue
cessful.
So it will be seen that the change
In Georgia's voting law was not the
result Of the simple slogan. IF we're
old enough to fight, we're old enough
to vote" The fact, that the young
sters had been given a real issue by
Gov Talmadge-one that affected
themselves directly-the fact that
they had young and progressive
new Governor coming up and the
fact that they had effective organfz-
ers among themselves all contrib
uted to the result.
1t is too early to estimate the ef-
feet the change will have on State
affairs. Mr., Shipp says Georgia
has no cause for regret. They have
brought a fresh outlook, vigor and
spirit into statecraft," he SAYS, "and
have been an aid in working toward
p, better State, more modernized
system Of government"
Remarkable Outpourins.
The teen-agers voted about SO
per cent stronger In proportion to
their total numbers in the election
last month than did other eligible
voters. Considering the fact that
large percentage Of the boys of this
age were absent In the armed serv-
ices, this Is the more remarkable.
The young people have been put
to one other test as voters. Macon,
Ga. had a wet and dry election re-

Issues Warning.
The administrator warned against
setting up veterans as a separate
class. He emphasized that q vet
eran should be treated asa social
human being, as a member of a
group, the welfare of which is iden-
tical with his welfare"
Don Shank, secretary of the COM
mittee on youth problems of the
American Council of Education, pre-
dicted that the end of the war might
find hundreds of thousands of young
