Veterans Seek Employment

Nearly two years have
lapsed since our Victorious
Armies caused the forces un-
der Hitler and his cohorts to
lay down their arms and quit.
To be exact it was May 9Th,
1916 that our enthusiasm was
unleashed throughout this
country to such a degree, that
it was hoped that the return
ing Servicemen would be
quickly absorbed into their
normal ways of living, but the
pent-up feelings of two years
ago, has dwindled to such an
extent that today, less than
two years from the cessation
of hostilities, there are over
$500 Delaware Veterans still
seeking employment. This
condition should be eliminat-
ed or greatly reduced as most
of these Veterans are willing
to accept suitable employ
ment if the job is available.
If employers will make an
honest effort and survey their
plants and business for job
openings, and then list these
openings with the nearest Of
flee of the Delaware State
Employment Service, many
placements could be made i'm
mediately and many Veterans
who are now drawing their
$40 per week, Readjustment
Allowances, would be return
ed to the ranks of those en-
ployed and eliminated from
the ranks of those trying to
exist on their allowance.
Think this matter over and
then assist in solving one OF
the most perplexing problems
existing within your commun-
ity, by listing with the En-
ployment Service all vacan-
cies in your business and by
carefully surveying your
plant for additional job open
