help Here's where he'll need accurate infor
nation about the agencies the government
has set up to help him.
The vast number of such agencies may
make it appear that his first step of the gang
plank will be into labyrinth of endless red
tape Yes, there will be some of that, but it's
being kept to minimum The entire re-
employ ment procedure has been boiled
down to the size of the indi, idual veteran.
There are three simple rules:
|. If he wants his old job back. he simply
goes to his draft board.
2. If he wants different job, and knoWS
what he wants. he goes to his local United
States Employment Service Office.
3. If he's undecided, the Veterans Serv-
ice Center is the place for him. They'll tell
him where to go if he needs training or finan-
clal assistance or even advice on personal
problems.
Veterans may styme themselves If they
make up their minds too fast Like the vet
who wanted his old Job as bank guard
because it never had occurred to him that his
Navy training might have fitted him to do
something more to his liking.
That idea has occurred to the government.
For instance the War Manpower Commission
has cut apart. like pieces of jigsaw puzzle,
all types of military sklls that have counter
parts in civilian life. Sometimes they come
up with pretty surprising "translatlons For
example, the Navy vet who came back to his
bank guard job discovered at the Veterans
Service Center that his experience as gun
ners mate fitted him for several dozen inter
esting civilian jobs Today he is working as
vacuum-cleaner repairman.
Uncle Sam finds skls that the veterans
never realized they had; fits them into strange
new Jobs. Developments that have come
tumbling out of the Laboratories as
result of the war promise new jobs in new
industries tomorrow. That's another reason
it's dangerous for vet to make up his mind
in advance that the old job is the Job he
wants. There are many possibilities in fields
that didn't even exist when he went into uni
form, and these fresh fields, if he can find his
way into them, will offer the most flexible
and promising opportunities.
Skis learned in the Army may help vet

out as much as you can about the job you're
applying for. 2. Then present an intelligent
picture of your abilities and special talents.
Don't just ask for job. Make the job demand
what you've got to offer.
4. Holding the Job
Now we come to the final - and most diff
cult - adjustment involved in your job seek
ing. 1t is learning how to hold the job you
find, how to increase your value in it, how to
increase your enjoyment of your work
Don't bank everything on lust going
back" You'll never go back. You're new
man and you're entering new community.
Even though the streets and the neighbors
look the same, subtle and profound changes
have taken place. And you're new man
yourself after your war experiences. Home
and the job you left to go into the service
may be far different from the way you
remembered.
There's a hard road back for some of you
to normal adjustment to the jobs you'll
want. John Hersey, who, better than most,
has portrayed your thoughts, your needs and
aspirations, has already said that Happiness
comes Slow And it will come good deal
slower unless in some of the most obvious
ways you forget you're serviceman. Your
country owes you debt - an enormous
one but don't play Shylock with it.
The debts most gracefully paid are those
least urgently demanded.
The heartache of one soldier who precipi-
tated crisis in small airplane plant holds
a painful harbinger for the future When he
got his job he couldn't resist the temptation
to wander away from his machine to chat with
the girls around. His foreman and the per-
sonnel director both understood and sympa-
Evening star., 1944-08-27

Grams enter these new industries and special
training courses will fit them for specific jobs.
Some local Chambers of Commerce have
instituted their own special retraining pro-
grams Trade schools, high schools, colleges -
all are waiting to help the vet re-estabsh
himself. In increasing numbers, unions are
not only eliminating the closed shop, lnltla-
ton fee and seniority barriers, such as were
originally expected to complicate veterans
job hunt, but are making available their tech
nicans and their training centers for his use.
In the case of the disabled veteran, the
program of reftting him for civilian job
begins almost with the day of his first medical
treatment in the military hospital Many
large companies such as General Motors and
General Electric, have not only undertaken
special training programs for ex-servicemen,
but have actually redesigned some of their
machinery and facilities so that they can be
operated by the disabled.
3. Help Yourself!
Bur this elaborate mechanism that has been
set up to help returning veterans does not
diminish the importance of the good old
American habit of personal initiative. If you
are veteran, you miss an important bet II
you don't broaden your job horizons still
further through your own contacts and effort.
The crisp, intelligent letter that worked before
will work again. Your appearance will be an
important wedge and one incidentally, in
which Army training will give you an impor-
tant edge on civilian job seekers. The classi-
fled ads, the employment agencies, your own
pavement pounding will yield impressive divi-
dends. Remember that the two key points
which have always paid off in job hunting
will be as important as they ever were. l. Find

thized One day when the foreman took him
aside to point out in a friendly fashion that
he just couldn't keep on that way. the veteran
turned on him angrily. LISTEN" he said.
81 didn't lay around in foxholcs on
Cuadalcanal to be told when l can talk
to girl by guy like you.'
Certainly it's easy to understand that vet
eran's reaction But is it more difficult to
understand the companys problem? Such
inability to adjust will dog the footsteps OF
many returning veteran. 1t will hang over
the head of the captain, used to giving orders,
who must return to a civilian job where he
must take orders Nor will the problem be
made easier for private or captain by impa-
tience with the fact that the peace seems so
much harder to organize than war.
Tough? Not really. The one certainty in
this entire picture is that the serviceman will
have priority on jobs and this priority for the
serviceman will be the brightest lining in
some of tomorrow's bleaker days.
HE fact that you were in uniform is your
ticket to the head of the line. Your old en-
ployer, if need be, must fire his wartime-hired
employees to hire you. Civil Service require
ments, both state and federal, will be shaved
in your interest. During every step of these
initial adjustments back to payroll, to
desk in school or place in the fields, the
scales will be weighted heavily in your
favor.
The end of the man-power shortage is
already in sight. During the reconversion
period, it is probable that jobs will shrink.
This may we'll reverse the present situation in
which less than one out of four returning serv-
icemen are interested in taking their old jobs
again The old job and the Selective Service
guarantees will be very much more attractive
during the dog days of early postwar So,
too, will the liberal educational provisions in
the CT Bill of Rights Law and the govern
ment-paid interval of learning with its almost
automatic answer to the question of economic
security.
There may be some apple-selling on the
streets of America in the first years after
this war, but most veterans will be on the
buvnp side this time. The End
