THE EX-SOLDIER IN BUSINESS

A recent survey conducted by
the Army Service Forces Undated
the trend of thought of the man in
the military service. One out of
eight intends to enter some field
of endeavor as his own boss.
Many of the ex-soldiers plan on
farming. Others plan to conduct
their own business, such as retail
establishments, radio stores, repair
shops of various types or some may
enter the field of art. science, or
one of the professions.
Why This Trend of Thought?
It is believed that the first mo-
tivating influence came from the
"GI Bill of Rights, which pro-
vides a method of borrowing mon
ey when honorably discharged
from the Army. The Govern
ment guarantees up to 500 of the
loan not to exceed 100000.
Therefore a veteran may borrow
as much as 100000 at 496 inter
est and repay it over 20 year per-
iod.
Secondly, many of the men will
be attempting to bring to a climax,
a long cherished desire, to be their
own boss or a desire to prove to

6 Pinal County Men
Help Build Defenses
In The French Alps

Six Pinal County men are with
the 9Th Army Group, France,
playing a leading role in the organ
ization of a vast network of de-
fenses in the French Alps along
the Franco-Italian frontier, ac-
cording to word received from
there this week. The men are:
Pfc. Frank w. Graham, Coolidge;
Pvt. Lee o. Butler, Casa Grande;
Pvt. Ernest Jaskson, Sacaton; Pvt.
Lorenzo M. Garcia, Sonora, and
Pvt. Reynaldo M. Lopez, Super
ior. The Engineer Combat Bat
talon of the 44th antiaircraft ar
tillery brigade with which they
serve, part of 1t. Gen. Jacob l..
Devers' 9Th Army Group, is gain
ing reputation as "the dough-
boys right hand" according to
the communication.
In its present positions in the
French Alps, the men Of the bat
talon are fighting in bitter wea-
ther with fortitude that is COM
parable to their ability as combat
engineers.
Through some of the most diff
ficult fighting terrain in the world
twisting mountain trails, snow
covered ridges, and innumerable
points that are "naturals" for en-
emy ambushes-these Combat En-
gineers have cleared minefields,
constructed by-passes, repaired
roads and constructed bridges to
facilitate troop movements. AT

Last and by no means least, the
men returning from the service de-
sire to enter some enterprise of
their own, however small or large
in plan, so that they can now :.
more than ever before plan
and live according to the dictates
of their own conscience without a
regimented daily routine. They
want to plan for themselves :.
they want to handle all the pro-
cedures in keeping with their best
judgment surrounding any parti-
cular situation. Space is not a
vailable to cover this important
feature nor is the time apropos
to discuss it fully.
A great danger lies ahead for
these men! They are so eager
so determined but have been away
and unaccustomed to civilian bus
ineses SO long, many will fail in
their most cherished ambition from
lack of proper guidance, of the eX
perienced person engaged in a
an illogical location.
Civic organizations, such as the
American Legion, and in particu-
lar the Chamber of Commerce,
| should make this subject their
number one postwar problem and
set up a board of business men Of
varied experience, and in partic-
ular retail businesses, preferbly
small business men to assist the
veterans. Will the business peo-
pie be as eager to help these men
with their problems as they were
to accept their few paltry dollars
after each pay day? If they do
not, they will also suffer greatly
The government will do all it can
in the way of guidance but "on
the ground counseling" will be
necessary and invaluable.
Any ex-soldier who extends his
plans into a full realization after
the war and enters some line of
business, should by all means seek
friendly and unprejudiced advice
about the business he proposes to
enter At the proper time, it is
believed this subject so impor-
tant to the returning soldier, will
be amply covered by those who
| are charged with that responsible
ty. To do otherwise would be a
! gross mistake.
Another important phase for the
soldier to remember is that "The
surplus property act of 1914" pro-
vides for disposal of surplus gov
ernment property to veterans.
| Full details and regulations of the
method of handling have not been
| announced. The Small War
Plants Corporation has a proposal
of it's own to aid veterans and
others of limited capital to esta-
blish and maintain certain plants
and factories under government
supervision, but with the assur-
ance that techical advice would
be given to the financed purchaser
of that particular plant. This
! type of plant or property refers to
the smaller war plants, which have
or may employ as many as $50
men. 1t is stated that there is
SIS, 100000 of such property and
some 10000 acres of land which the
Small War Plants Corporation in
tends to dispose of under lenient
terms. The Veteran, under the
above mentioned Act, is to be
given substantial consideration.
To you who intend to operate
small plant, factory or shop it
would be of advantage to look into
the opportunities which may be
offered by the Government Dispo-

sal Agencies. This information
will become more accessible, it is
believed, within the next few
months. Your American Legion
Post should also be able to as
sist you in getting all of this in
formation and upon discharge
from the Army, unquestionably,
you will be fully informed of all
available agencies and means re-
garding YOUR FUTURE.

the same time, guarding against
any possible German counter-at-
tacks, mines are laid barbed-wire
entanglements are stretched along
strategic places, and bridges and
roads are prepared for demolition.
Commanded by Major Willard
White, 2519 Harris Blvd, Austin,
Texas, the battalion is a compar-
ative newcomer to the battlefields
of Europe. However, intense
training in all types of bridge
building, assault-boat crossings, and
infantry tactics have given it a
foundation for coping with almost
any kind of enemy action.
