Skills Among Veterans
To Aid Plan

The local office Of the United
States Employment service has
opened a fresh drive to find jobs
fer the 1900 veterans on its roster,
Harold M. Hink!e, USES manager,
reported.
Classification specialists in the
local office gave detailed inter-
views to the entire list of job-seek-
ing veterans last week with a view
to u%ncovering labor skills not de-
veloped in their original classified
tions, he said.
AS a result of taat concentrated
effort, more tnan 100 ex-servicemen
were given classifications that
should improve their employment
possibilities, Hinkle estimated.
Some so ex-servicemen were
given aptitude tests for jobs in the
new industries which are opening
here, he reported.
The USES here still has openings
for carpenters in positions out Of
town, its manager reported.
Places for Is men with special
skills we're found out-of-town last
week.
But it's still hard to ship a man
to other places because it's SO hard
to find a place for him to live,"
Hinkle pointed out.
