VETERANS INFORMATION
COLUMN

When President Truman affixed
his signature to Executive Order
No. 969l on February 4th of this
year, the Veterans were assured
that they would have the OppOrtu-
nifty of obtaining Civil Service jobs
in the various departments of the
government. Executive Order No
969l provides for the transition OF
the Civil Service system from a
Wartime to a PCaCe-timc basis.
What does this mean to Veterans
Early in the war it was realized
that the filling of new jobs i'll the
Civil Service system would have to
be of temporary nature, there
fore, practically all jobs filled since
March 18th. 1912, were considered
/ War-Scrvice appointments which
were not to exceed the duration
Elus six months. Returning veto
rams interested in Federal employ
ment are naturally interested il
getting a regular Civil Service ap-
pOintmentS rather than one of {
temporary nature. There are estima
ted to be 100000 War-Service ap
pOintmentS to he filled by cOmpeti
tive examinations. This does no
eliminate War-Service employee
from retaining their jobs if the.
qualify under the Civil Servic
system, but it does give the Veteran
the opportunity of obtaining Fede
raj Employment in jobs, which dur
ing the war, he had no OppOrtunit
to compete. In addition, the Netera
is allowed a 5 or 10 point prefer
! cnce.
All Of these jobs will not be list
f ed in the employment Service O

+ examinations can always be II

Nancy said it was all right, that
she had been glad to do it, but then
she felt hungry and remembered
there had been no dinner-and now
no breakfast. All because of Mrs.
Wilson
81 was just about to drop out for
a bite to eat," her visitor explained,
land seeing you're all alone, I
thought you might like to come
along"
Nancy remembered the lone 25-
cent piece in her purse. Thank
you so kindly, Mrs. Wilson," she an
swered quickly. But Pm-Pm not
feeling so well this morning. I'll
just have cup of coffee in my
room!"
About noon she dressed, for Jim
was calling for her at one O'Clock.
What ravenous appetite she would
have.
But one o'clock passed, and no
Jim. Nor at or 3, and Nancy's
spirits began to give way. Had he,
too, chosen to punish her on Christ
mas?
Downstairs she heard Mr.. and
Mrs. Groggins welcoming their
guests for the day, and she took
vicarious pleasure from it. She
heard the dinner bell, the clatter of
dishes as they dined, and then the
shuffling of chairs as The well-fed
guests retired to the living room.
BY that time it was five o'clock
and Nancy sat by her window, fgu-
ratively biting her fngernails. She
was almost hysterical with fear, and
she began to worry.
At six o'clock she put on her coat
and dashed down the stairs, head
ed she knew not where. Perhaps to
find Jim, perhaps merely to es-
cape her room. She reached the
entrance, turned the knob and
pulled open the door-and there was
Jim, just arriving!
Tearfully she threw herself into
his arms, shivering from fright.
"Oh, Jim!" she cried Where have
you been?"
But didn't you get my mes
sage?" he asked II had to work
in the laboratory this afternoon, and
telephoned Mrs. Groggins at 12: 3O!"
His brow was furrowed.
Just then there was a voice be-
hind them. Miss Bell" It was
Mrs. Groggins. "A message for
You. 1t came just before dinner, but
then our guests arrived and I didn't
get around to bringing it up"
Nancy took the slip from her
hand, wiping away a tear. She
heard Jim cursing.
Lets get out of here, honey" he
said, quietly.
A short time later they were din
ing by candlelight while string
ensemble played soft Christmas mu-
sic in the background. Jim looked
up from his coffee and smiled, then
reached into his pocket.
There was big package on your
desk at the Office" he said. 1T
came today. From your folks, I
guess. Too big to carry with me,
but maybe this viii take its place"
He reached for her left hand, then
for the second finger, and at its tip
he poised a diamond ring. Then he
locked at her, asking assent.
Eyes, darling" she said softly.
"Its the merriest Christmas ever!"

ing house. Surely the package from
home would be there! But Mrs.
Groggins, the ugly little landlady,
shook her head.
Nothing" she said. THE mail
man went right by this afternoon.
Up in her room Nancy spent
lonesome Christmas Eve. She read
awhile to forget her hunger, then
went to bed Next morning it was
the destitute Mrs. Wilson who awak-
ened her.
Merry Christmas, Miss Bell"
she shouted, walking into the room
unlimited. Nancy was irritated, mo-
mentarily, by this highly painted,
shallow creature. But she quickly
regained her composure. 1t was
Christmas, after all
at was swell of you, dearie, to
pay Mrs. Groggins a weeks rent in
advance last night" Mrs. Wilson
said, settling herself into the most
comfortable chair. Il don't know
what would have happened, because
I'm caught bit short just, now and
couldn't pay!'

FARM EXPERIMENT.:
Dropped BY Ford

In line with its announced policy
Of abandoning activities not directly
connected with the manufacture Of
automobiles. the Ford Motor COM
pany will dispose of TO- 900 acres of
farmland in Michigan originally ac-
quired for experimenting in the
adaptation of agricultural products
to industrial use.
The company also decided to give
up the model school project organ
lied for the communities surround
ing the huge land holdings. One
room schools were remodeled, kim
d~ergartens opened for three and
four-year-olds, and studies shaped
to permit practical application of
textbook teachings.
Under the new policy pushed by
Henry Ford II, the company will not
resume manufacture Of some of its
W tires and a tugboat used for
Ford piers On the Detroit river has
been sold. Operated by a founda-
ton separate from the company, the
Ford museum and Greenfield vii
lage will not be affected.

PEARL
Reopen Hearings

Pondering lengthy testimony on
the Pearl Harbor disaster Of De
cember 7, 1941, the congressional
committee named to investigate
the catastrophe decided to reopen
public hearings to obtain more de-
tailed information from top military
and naval officers as to their where
abouts on the evening preceding the
attack.
Decision to call General Marshall,
Admiral Stark and Rear Admiral
Beardall back for questioning fol-
lowed late testimony of Comdr. L.
R. Schulz that President Roosevelt
had sought to contact Stark on the
night Of December 6 after receipt
of the first IS parts Of the Japanese
message indicating a rupture in dip
lomatic relations.
While Marshall and Stark had told
the committee they could not recall
their whereabouts on the night
of December 6, Schulz said that Mr..
Roosevelt was informed that Stark
was attending a theater. Beardall
was said to have been dining with
the late Admiral Wilkinson, chief Of
naval intelligence. Schulz's testi-
mony may serve to refresh their
memories, Committee Chairman
Barkley said.

Negro Press has grown to con-
siderable dimensions. There are
now more than 200 standard
weeklies, ranging in circulation
from a few thousand in some
cases, to a quarter million in at
least two others with a substan-
tial group able to show through
the Audit Bureau of Calculations
subscribers or regular buyers in
numbers ranging from 10000 to
$780, There is a standard daily
published in a southern city that
has a circulation close to % 5000.
Six or seven of the weeklies pub
lish from four to a dozen separ.
ate editions for different geogra-
phical locations and their opera
tons approximate those of a daily
newspaper. There are nor than
20 religious Periodicals, weeklies
and monthlies, some of which are
natioSal in calculations. We have
a dozen or more journals devoted
to education, one of which is re-
cognized as an authority on edu-
cation in the United States. 1t
compares in size, content and
circulation with the leading jou-
rnals in America. There are 20
trade publications, representing
different phases of industry and
business We have a large group
of magazises, some of which are
organs of organizations with the
membership nationwide, and the
circulations run into large figures
and at least one of these maya
zines of general character has a
circulation of more than 1OO, 900.
We have a journal of Negro his
tory, evoted chiefly to historical
cal dIIO ILLS Is d1SO T6COS-
nized as an authority in it's field.
There is a medical journal which
has a national circulation and this
is recognize as an authority in
its field.
AS MEDIUM OF EDUCATION
AS has been pointed out the
Negro Press is diversified, COW
ering nearly all phases of humas
activities. Estimating the circula-
ton of the entire Negro Press on
the basis of four readers to the
literate family it is safe to say
that 100000 Negroes read these
publications weekly. That furni-
shes an idea of the effectiveness
of this agency as an educational
