Disabled veterans today were urged by the War Manpower Com mission in Washington to take ad- vantage of the inter-regional re- cruitment facilities offered by the United States Employment Service office thereby avoiding travelling great distances to find work only to learn that no suitable jobs are available in a gi'en locality.
 Reports reaching the Veterans Employment Service of the United States Employment Service have shown that veterans attracted by ''help wanted" advertisements in other localities have discovered that work is not permanent or is only for few days week The War Manpower Commission also pointed out that in a number of cases no housing has been available and the veterans have been forced to leave their families behind.
 State Director William J. Fitz- gerald of the Connecticut War Manpower Commission urged vet erans to first contact the local USES offices before deciding upon regional recruitment. The state director said that jobs were still available in Connecticut for veterans.
 The War Manpower Commission in Washington has announced that although veterans are not subject to job controls, the USES is con- cerned about their future jobs and has provided a joo counseling pro- gram and a system of selective placement in addition to which the regular ter-regional recruitment program provides material assist ance.
 When a veteran registers with a local employment office, he is not limited to the jobs open in the area served by that office Under the inter- -office recruitment system he can, if he is willing, be trans

 Other features of the clinic are, dental bracket similar to those used in the States; a dental foot engine which was converted into an electric engine and can be operated at both forward and backward speeds; also, a dental lathe which has been all-important in denture work. These modern devices have all been innovated and made at the base.
 Captain Kusner has spent over 8 year in setting up his dental clinic. His determination and skill have been chiefly responsible in the mod ernization Of this clinic. A rlAtive Of Altoona, Penn, Capt. KliSner practiced dentistry there for six years. He is graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia, and had his pre-dental schooling at St. Francis College, Penna.
