past Is years thousands OF veterans
have botained aid from this source.
A penny saleS-tax on cigarettes Is
currently providing future resources
for an anticipated increase IN APP
plications.
However, the picture Is not IS
'rosey" as IL looks An applicant
must be In actual need before he
shares the fund. There is no gen
eral. indiscriminate distribution Of
weekly allowance. There Is what
the old-tilne veterans describe as
"beaucoup red tape" The chances

ment recently In any Of the local
shops likely to be effected he will
be penalized by the walk-out. He
has had no chance Of voting on the
issue and has no choice but joining
his co.workers II the expected
demonstration becomes a reality.
He will lose his training wages and
will receive no unemployment com

Veterans arriving home now are
advised to take 1t easy, sign up
and collect the benefits and go to
work when the labor horizon Is
