Between the old and the New Year
What contribution you leaving

Did you think TO count your blessing
Or did you TO shed tsarf
How hard did you strive to make others happy,
Forgetting yourself for little whiei
In your contribution, did you leave a a smisf
Who asked you for bread and you refused,
Who was sick and in prison and you visited him not
Is this contribution you leaving worthwhilef

You having no time TO stop and teach them
Or lead them in righteous and truthful way

Dear Joe"
A Weekly Column by and
for Veterans
BY JAMES L. HICKS

| ~ oHhEIO ~. LllChGO
Dear Joe,
You might have been the man
Of the year in 1915 but il things
keep on like they are going you'll
be the forgotten man Of 1915.
Don't take my word for it, Joe.
Listen TO the guys who are getting
paid to know.
You know what Arthur S. Flem-
ming, one Of the commissioners Of
the U. s. Civil Service, said last
Friday? Give a look and have a
learn, Joe. These are the words
he used:
I'VE are confident that each
member Of this committee wants
to see US, as the representatives
Of the United States Government,
do an effective job in rendering
service to these returning veterans.
"And yet-and | say this after
considerable thought-we are right
at the breaking point as far as
rendering such service. Unless the
Congress can see its way to grant
US 81 800, 900, we believe, and we
say this advisedly, that the pro-
gram Of the government as set
forth in the Veterans Preference
Act Of 1914 will break down"
This guy, FlemminR, Joe, is
one Of the boys who run the Civil
Service Commission for the Gov
eminent and he was testifyinR
before the Senate Appropriation
committee and begging them not
to cut Civil Services budget be-
cause then Civil Service would
have to cut it's service to vet
Grams.
FlemminE told the committee
that veterans all over the country
are going to feel that their govern
ment, functiOning in its capacity
as an employer is giving them the
brush off,"
He then reminded the boys on the
hill that back in 1912 the war ser
vice appointment system was set
up with the understanding that
when the war was over the Jobs
would be open to veterans but he
said unless the Commission get the
81 10000 I'VE will not even be able
to begin TO start in that direction"
Flemming knows what he is talk
ing about, Joe. He gets paid to
know and he didn't pull his punches
when he testified. He told them
Civil Service needed that $1,000
900 to help veterans-needed it
badly.
You know what happened, Joe7
Congress chopped off a cool million
from the budget and sent him out
to help the Joes with 100000.
When the war was going on moth
ing was too good or too expensive
for "the boys"-but the war is over
now, Joe.
Flemming revealed that more
and more CTS are appealing to
Civil Service for jobs. In Septem-
Der 327,s5O vets applied for jobs,
in October 100000 did the same
thing and in November the figure
went up to 369,0l7.
When the budget was cut Civil
Service took all its representatives
out Of Army, Navy and Marine
separation centers where they had
been recruiting Joes for Civil Ser
vice jobs; then it called in its rep
resentatives from cities all over the
country where they had been ex-
planning job opportunities in gov
eminent to vets and were helping
federal agencies put CTS on jobs.

Ships viii Link
Coast, Australia

New fast Swedish motorships
will be placed in the trade between
the Pacific Coast and Australia
by the Transatlantic Steamship
Company, Ltd, of Gothenburg, r.
K. Brown, Jr., district manager in
Seattle for the General Steamship
Corporation, Ltd, general agent
for the service announced recently.
The Swedish motorship Wanga-
rata will be the first of the new
ships to come to this coast. She
will arrive in San Francisco March
Is from Australia and will be
sent to Seattle and other Pacific
Northwest ports if sufficient car
go is offered. The Wangaratta
is replacing the Kookaburra, which
is returning to Sweden.
In line with the policy of the
Transatlantic Steamship Company
of shenbcrg to improve further
its Australia-Pacific Coast service,
the Wangaratta will be followed
by additional new sister ships of a
similar design in order to afford
shippers and passengers in this
trade improved service through
greater speed Brown said.
Time in transit between the
Pacific Coast and Sydney will be
from Is to 16 days. Ports of call
in Australia will be Sydney and
Melbourne, although the service
may be extended to other ports if
sufficient business is offered"
The cargo capacity of the Wan
garatta and her sister ships is
9,270 long tons. The vessels have
a speed of 16A knots. They each
will carry ~ first-cabin passen-
gers.

that were killed by Danes when
crossing the border at Flensborg.
The story was indignantly denied
by the Danish authorities who
stated that exactly one person had
been shot, although refugees al
most nightly make attempts to
cross the border without investi-
cation.
Complications arise when it is
known that the Potsdam confer
ence decided to place about one
and a half million German refu-
gees in Slesvig -Holstein for an I'M
determined period. Not alone is
the provinces thus badly crowded
but the Danish minority also
points cut that the government
under these conditions is bound to
be o m ultra-German, whereby
those who claim the right to live
as Danes and to maintain Danish
schools are prone to be forgotten
and overrun.
Altogether the problem of car
ing for refugees is paramount; in
Denmark proper it is estimated
that the cost item this current
year will m GUN t to 225 mill
crowns.

THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Colonization Bureau Gets Results

A large number of people have
applied to the Colonization Blu
reau of the Brotherhood of the
Norwegian Lutheran Church of
America for help in getting To-
Gated in Lutheran communities
and so lie success has been
achieved in this endeavor. Grad
ually the service of this bureau
is becoming effective as our peo-
pie learn of its activities and use
its facilities.
Typical of the cases where the
bureau has functioned successfully
is one in a mid-western town that
needed journalist to publish the
weekly newspaper. Telling of the
service rendered by the bureau the
pastor wrote as follows: "Some
time ago I entered a request for
Lutheran to settle in this COM
munity as a publisher of a weekly
newspaper. l think there were
three that responded to the an
nouncement Now one of these
has moved here with his family
and taken over this business.
What we need now is Lutheran
doctor. We have no resident doc
tor here. A good field, mostly
Lutherans. Your bureau is a fine
thing
Another pastor contacted the
Colonization Bureau to make
known that there was an oppor-
tunity in his town for a druggist
and an ad was placed in the Lu-
theran Herald and the Brother
hood Bulletin. A number respond
ed and today one of our Lutheran
men is established in the bust
ness and his family is participant
ing in the work of the local con-
gregation. Commenting on the re-
suits the pastor said among other
things recommending the bureau
THE Colonization Bureau works. y
Much work has been done in
the field of placing Lutheran peo-
pie on farms in areas served by
our Church. With the cooperation
of pastors and laymen descrip-
tons of farms for rent or sale
have been listed with the bureau
and negotiations set in motion for
moving Lutheran families to COM
munities where they can have the
advantage of the ministry of the
Church.
The bureau charges no commits
sion for it's services and does not
seek to close business deals of
any kind. 1t is simply clearing
