Grandmother wanted" said an
advertisement in a New York
newspaper, which went on to ex-
plain that a little three-year-old
girl needed new grandmother
because her own was moving out
OF the city.
Well, good luck to little Linda
Rose in her search for new
grandmother. Without wishing to
discourage her, it is only fair to
point out that a satisfactory substl-
tute grandmother may be very
hard to find.
For much Of the real grand

tage Of the past.
DeSoto and his Spaniards passed
through the lower Gulf country in
1910. Once a part of Louisiana, it
was old Fort Louis de la Mobile
on Mobile river that was made the
capital in 1902. Mobile at its present
site dates from I'LL. Later Alabama
was a part Of the territory of Mis-
sissippi, formed in 1898, but be-
came a separate territory in 1877
and state in 1919. St. Stephens
was the territorial capital, and
Huntsville was the temporary seat
Of the first state government. Ca
hawba was the first state capital
site, but the government moved to
Tuscaloosa in 1925. It was not until
1s47 that Montgomery became the
permanent seat.
When Alabama seeded from the
Union on January II, 1861, the dele
gates from the southern states met
at Montgomery and selected Jeffer-
son Davis as president of the Con-
federacy. He was inaugurated at
the present state capital.

Strive for Employment
Of Disabled Veterans
Act to Furnish Handicapped With Chance for
GainfuI Occupation; Industry Pledges
Its Full Cooperation.
BY BAUKHAGE
NesUs Analyst and Commentator.

1t. The answer was that pilots,
knowing the hazards, took extra
precautions in using the field. So a
disabled veteran, already knowing
what it is to be handicapped,
uses considerable extra care.
I said the DAV had set up a ma
tional employment program for the
first time in its existence, headed
up in Washington by a National
Employment officer. Then each
state has a Chief Employment Of
ficer. The DAV in each state Il
divided into chapters, or local units,
and each has an employment Of
ficer also, thus bringing the contact
of this helping hand right down into
the community where the veteran
lives or Is hospitalized.
Before the program can begin
operating in the complete way en-
visioned by its planners, the men
who can offer the jobs have to be
contacted personally and the chal-
lenge of their opportunity to make
work available to handicapped vet
Grams has to be put squarely be-
fore them. This has been the first
task of DR.. Macvaugh and his corps

DAV Gets OF
To Good Start

To Good Start
A strong beginning was made
when at a conference In Atlantic
City the following representative Or
CARNATIONS, among others, were
contacted personally by the DAV
National Employment officer and
asked to influence the businesses for
which they are spokesman to put
disabled veterans on their work
rolls: the National Association Of
Manufacturers, the American Bank
ers association, the Chamber Of
Commerce, the National Council of
Farmer Co-operatives, the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau federation. the
American Retail federation, the Air
Transport association, Aircraft In
dustries association, Investment
Bankers association, Committee of
Economic Development, American
Trucking association, American
Waterways Operators, Association
of American Railroads, National
Foreign Trade Council, National Re-
tail Dry Goods association, Interna-
tional Association of Lions Clubs,
National Grange, National Associa-
ton of Motor Bus Operators, and so
on. But this gives you an indica-
ton of the scope of the cultivation
of the soil for jobs for disabled vet
Grams.
Available jobs are made known to
the Veterans Employment Repre-
sentative of the United States EN-
ployment service, which has agreed
to designate an assistant in each
state who will specialize in the en-
ployment of war disabled G.I.s.
The DAV has developed a system
whereby its chapter employment Of
ficer knows as soon as a man who
has disability is released from
an institution and is available for
work in his community. He also
knows the disabled veterans living
there who need jobs. 1t is his task
to bring the men and the jobs to-
gether.
It is the DAV chapter employ
ment officer who takes the man to
the veterans employment represent
alive of the USES where the jobs
are registered, and on to the pro-
spective employer, if necessary, to
clinch the employment of the ex-
GIL.
There are five planks in the en-
ployment platform Of the DAV.
First, to convince employers
that they should employ dis
abled American veterans, some
where, IMMEDIATELY;
Second, to support the train
ing Of disabled veterans for
more than one key job in an
industry SO that when heavy
unemployment develops, the
disabled man will not be the first
discharged, for he will be able
to do more than one job;
Third, to advocate increased
wages for disabled veterans be-
cause they have become more
valuable as a result of the null
tiple training;
Fourth, to try to improve
working conditions for the dis
abled ex-G.I. SO that his job Is
pleasant one;
Fifth, to see that preference
Is given the disabled veteran in
staying on the job when people
have to be released.

Find Boys Can
Do Job Well

Back of the helping hand offered
to the disabled veterans to get them
into jobs a lot of spade work has
been going on - the ground has
been prepared with great care so
that when the crisis comes
many workers and few jobs-the
former G.I. who literally gave part
of himself for the rest of us will
have an opportunity to work. The
DAV asserts that he can do a job
well in spite of his handicap. It
points to records it is accommodating
which show that when a disabled
veteran is hired, he shows great
care and conscientiousness in per-
forming his task. It's something
like the story of the old Washington
airport-it was one Of the most dan
gerous in the United States, but
there were no major accidents on

But Buster was off again, and
before nightfall he had located two
other breaks. They were repaired.
