young as your self confidence; as old as your fear; as young as your hope; as old as your despair. Don't Worry Bout The Mule!
 Since we live in deeds, not in years, in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial, we should count time by heart throbs. Father Time must feel as we do, that we have not lived in vain. We have the consciousness of years of useful service. Your words of consolation and friendly greetings on many sad occasions, your gracious smile and sunny temperament have been perpetual benediction, and your quiet, even disposition an example worthy of emulation.
 There are many of us who are not happy to have our birthdays come quite as often as they do. But since they must come, why worry? We worry about them, yet we expect others to remember them pleasantly. So congra tula- tions on having reached your - and remember, Don't Worry Bout The Mule!

LET'S GET ACQUAINTED

Let's get acquainted WOuld lIke to bring to the readers of the CHRONICLE occasionally a diff ferent personality from right here at home where we might likely overlook people simply because they are home folks. This depart ment feels that if such individuals, or groups, actually SERVE the Negro public in some of the many various ways, these particulars of service should be kept in front of the public. Let's not forget those who serve.
 This weeks subject is the Rev. Richard A. C. Foster, II Church
 St., for six years (6) pastor of the AME Zion Church on Dixwell
 Avenue and energetic alderman from the 18th ward serving his
 second (Republican) term.
 The Rev. Foster was found~t to be cooperative, keen of mind, and lit , orally gushing with accurate in- formation which he gave unstint- ingly and with rapid fire preci- sion.
 Among other things it was learned that during his six years as pastor of the Varick AME Zion Church he'd taken in more than six hundred (6OO) new members and that during the recent war he'd placed or helped to place more than 2,8O0 colored men in jobs. Mrs. Foster entered the office to inform her husband of call requiring his presence at the front door; in the meantime Mrs. Eos ter, alert and conversant on all the topics which had been under discussion, continued the interview so that actually no time was lost during the brief absence of the pastor-alderman.
 I asked about and learned of a proposed gathering and reception scheduled for June 10 in honor of the popular pastor and his wife Among those expected to attend (this being written June 5 are New Haven's highly esteemed Mayor, the Honorable William e. Celentano and the distinguished Bishop w. J. Walls of Chicago and the New England Conferences 2nd Episcopal District of the AlME Zion denomination.
 A parting question concrening Vets Housing legislation, under consideration by the local board of alderman, elicited for following: that the city of New Haven through the Federal Housing Au- thority has acquired the right to contract for 300 housing units, to relieve the vets housing shortage. Said housing is for all races and speaking pointedly relative to the housing question, Rev. Foster add ed that fair play was the order of the day and further that he would guard the interest of his consti- tuents at all times.
 We took our leave feeling that the speaker was fully equal to the task.

awaited settlement-a reduction of
56 per cent in unsettled claims since
the peak month of February, when
a backlog of 66l 900 had accumu-
lated.
The agency attributes the reduc-

cline in the volume of new appli-
cations, which totaled only l64 900
in May.

Four Million Vets Seen Idle in Fall
General Bradley Chides Many Communities for Struggling
 Off Their Obligations '

Unless something is done quick ly to create jobs, more than 4,0OO,- 900 veterans will be unemployed by next fall, General Omar N. Bradley, Veterans Administrator, told a Kiwanis convention at Att lantic City this week. He said 1,- 100000 are now drawing job bene- fits.
 Bradley childed many com munities for disregarding the young men who were cheered and made many promises when on their way to the battlefields. N
 He said they had shrugged off their obligation with the cynical suggestion: "Let Uncle Sam do itp'
 Uncle is doing much, but cannot do everything, Bradley insisted. He cannot provide the jobs, or prevent the offering of low wages, or pro- vide all the housing so urgently needed, he said.

Smoking indicates that the fat Is beginning to break down chemically. and will soon develop a disagreeable flavor so that 1t cannot be reused for cooking. If the worst happens, however. and the fat Is ruined, all. Is not lost. Deposit the dis. credited brown mess in your used fat container and turn 1t over to the meat dealer for four cents per pound.

"Vets" Get Break In Factory Jobs
Employment Hits New Higl . Among Former G. I.'s.,
 U. s. Reports

Veterans are still getting more than an even break in employ ment, the Department of Labor re- vealed this week.
 The number of former service men in manufacturing industries alone shot up from 10000 in De- cember to 1,75O,OOO in March, the Department said. c. I.'s now con- stitute 15 per cent of the 12,O00, ,0O0 workers employed in manufacture ing plants, compared with only 9 per cent in December.
 Disabled 2''vets" also are being placed in jobs at. a sharply increas- ing rate, the Department disclosed. Tn April, it said, the U. s. Employ ment Service found positions for 11,20O disabled former c. I.'s com pared to barely over half that number in January.
 While the Departments report didn't say SO, one of the big reasons that veterans are readily getting their old jobs back or finding new ones is that trade. unions are ac- lively going to bat for them with employers.
