Veterans Information
 Center Opened In Nome

Local Board No. 6 as an official Veterans Information Center of the United States Government was announced by Douglas John son, Chairman of the Board today. The Board is located at Nome Alaska.
 The new Veterans Information Center has been officially named by the Retraining and Reemploy- ment Administration which is charged by law with the coordina- tion of U. s. Government agencies serving veterans. The Boards To- cation as a Veterans Information Center is identified by a colorful poster bearing a large reproduc- tion of the gold discharge emblem.
 Our Local Board has inducted a large number of men into the Armed Forces during the last five years" said Chairman Johnson. "NoW we are ready to assist these same men in reestablishing them selves in civilian life, if they want and need our assistance.
 -.--"COngress has provided many rights privileges, and benefits for ex-service men and women. These rights and benefits are provided by many different laws and are administered by number of diff ferent Government agencies. It is the purpose of our Veterans In formation Center to aid the veter- an in getting to the right place and obtaining the right informa- ton so that he may take advan- tage of all benefits to which he is entitled"
 MT. Johnson pointed out that ! persons who left positions to en- ter the Armed Forces are entitled by law to reinstatement in their old jobs when they return, if they fulfill certain requirements of the 1 law. He explained that it is part of the Local Boards function to assist the veteran in asserting his 1 unemployment rights. The Local Board is also charged by law with rendering aid to veterans seeking new employment.
 Many veterans, of course, will not need assistance" said MT 1 Johnson, flor industry and busi- ness in general already have seen to it that their former employees in service are welcomed back to their old jobs-or better ones. But, a large number of veterans are not familiar with their rights to unemployment and what they are entitled to in the way of pref erence for new jobs. Full infor- nation is available at the Local Board and the veteran is urged to come in and talk over his prob lems."
 Chairman Johnson said the Board also will advise and assist the veteran with his other prob lems, including his insurance, GI loans, educational opportunities, and the like. "All these services" he said, "are free to the veteran for the asking, and he will find the Boards members, reemploy- ment committeeman, and employ CTS ready to do the utmost to save him time and trouble in get ting back in stride as civilian"

Every thinking American must realize that this country now faces situation without parallel either during the war or oe1ore it.
 Before the war we were busy production all the things required by peaceme economy We maintained high stand ard of living supported the Government with our taxes exported to foreign countries and enjoyed imports rom 'ne' Then came the war Production stepped unpece dented levels and devoted almost entirely to military neeo Production of civilian goods reduced to the bare nece sites
 Now the war is over We turn again to supplying civilian needs But today these needs thrilled for four long years are al the highest peak of all time Our Governments tax longer the staggering needs o war; o a ey are s a e before the There is also immediate urgent need Tor all kinds of goods aid the recovery and rehabilitation or war; torn world.
