I WASHINGTON = A newspaper at Camp Blanding in Florida defines CT Joe something like this:
 He's manpower to the govern ment. an expendable item to the General, potential casualty to the medic, another pair of feet to shoe to the quartermaster, replacement to the company commander, a gold brick to his first sergeant, a chow hound to his mess sergeant, a lousy recruit who will never make a sol- dier to his buck sergeant, target for hard labor to his corporal, a hero to his girl.
 ! But to his family he's a shining example of an American soldier And to the country, every person in any of the services-Navy, Marines. Coast Guard or Army-is a CT Joe or Jane. The country says it respectfully and lovingly For he's wonder of the world. | But we who are ex-service don't worry any longer about what the ouartermaster, the mess sergeant, the company commander, the gen. eral or the corporal think or say. i The War Manpower Commission has now changed it's definition of a veteran. Previously, only men who were discharged after December 8, 194l, were classified as veterans.
 Now, for the purposes of employ ment, anyone who has served as a member of the armed forces since September l6, 1940, date of the en- actment of the National Selective Service Act, is veteran.
 This agrees with the CT Bill of Rights, since to be eligible for it's benefits you must have served on or after September l6. l94o. There is only one exception.
 The word "on" is omitted from Title V of the Act. This deals with unemployment pay - to be eligible you must have served after" September l6, l940. A small point which may affect none.
 The total now in the armed forces IS over l2,000,000. It also has been announced that there are over 1,600.- 900 ex-service men and women of this war.
 General Hines, head of the Vet .erans' Administration, testified be- fore the House Appropriations Com mittee that the then rate of release was around 90,00o monthly, and that after VIE Day, the War Depart ment planned to release 100000 to 2500 a month. This VIE day de- mobilization rate was denied the following day by the War Depart ment.
 ] However, two things seem clear. There are more than million and a half ex-service people now. And i it seems obvious that the way our crowd of global war veterans will in crease after the war will make rabbits seem like celibates.
 Prayer can be a powerful force when it is sung by those who mean it. A B-24 gunner has many times repeated the following at his gun station:
 God of the evening, God of the night, God of the morning. God of thy light, Keep our engines strong in flight. And then, o Lord, let it be thy will that there come a day when we need not kill"
