Handicapped Week
October 3 too

At a meeting held in the Phoe-
nix Office of the Arizona State
Employment Service, to formulate
definite plans for observance of
National Employ the Physically
Handicapped Week" October 3-9,
H. c. Johansen, manager, appoint
ed Dee E. Reese, Veterans En-
ployment Representative, as chair
man of a committee made up of
the following members of the En-
ployment Service Staff: Henry A.
Hensley, John Cosgrave, r. B.
Peck, F. E. Webb, Paul Lodge,
Chas. E. Jordan and H. G. Brun-
ner.
Much has been accomplished
since "N.E.P.H. Week" was first
observed in October 1915. Through
every medium of communication,
interest in the employment of ply
sically handicapped workers has
been aroused. Each year since 1915
job placements of the physically
handicapped by the State have in
creased. More and more employers
have come to realize that it is good
business to avail themselves of the
productive skill and reliability of
the properly placed handicapped
worker. However, much work re-
mains to be done. The committees
job will be to enlist the support of
the entire community toward the
acceptance of the physically hand
icapped in jobs they can do.

Employers Accused
Of Obstructing
Draft Registration

According to headquarters OF
the Selective Service Board, COM
plants are being received that
employers are refusing to grant
employees sufficient time for draft
degiStratiOn.
The board reports three cases
have been called to their attention
where employers have docked and
threatened to fire their hired help
if they took time off fo rregistra-
ton. The matter was called to
the Attorney General for an opin-
ion and the following report from
his office has been forwarded to
Selective Service Boards:
"In accordance with your re-
quest for an opinion appertaining
to Section II (a)-Penalties, Pub
lie Law 759, 80th Congress (new
Selective Service AcD, I am
pleased to advise you that it is the
opinion of the writer that any en-
ployer, would be jim violation of
said Act who should refuse to
grant time off to his employees
W ICSISISI Solu AT, VI WIN
would deduct from the salary of
any such employee the time the
employee was absent from work
or business for the purpose of
such registration.
"It is clear from reading the law
that such an employer would be
hindering and interfering with
the administration of said Act and
the rules and regulations made
pursuant thereto.
''The opinion of the writer is
based upon the salient part of the
Act which reads as follows:
'* +, or any person or persons
who shall knowingly hinder or in
terfere, or attempt to do so in any
way by free or violence, or other
wise, with the administration
made pursuant thereto, = =!

in behalf of the organization, he
wishes to commend the many
citizens who contributed their
time whole-heartedly to the cause,
and those who spoke encourag-
,ingly, for their moral support.
Over seventy-five people contribu-
ted, some volunteered their serv-
ices, some were paid. Thirty-five
stenographers worked day and
night to mail 1000 ballots and
literature to prospective voters,
along with 40 block workers.
Members of the organization ex-
press their determination to main
tain central headquarters and
press forward with all their might,

Home Of Bob Tate

FLAMES of fire lashed out and
destroyed the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Bob Tate, of 947 w.
Watkins Road, last Thursday
afternoon. The fire is believed to
have started from defective wir-
ing.
Many articles were salvaged,
but were SO badly singed that they
ARE considered useless. The lack
sof a South Phoenix, Fire Depart
ment and low water pressures are
directly responsible for the loss
being so high. It was reported Mr..

A New York item by Adelaide
Kerr gives a good tip to the
women. She says the beautiful
but dumb routine is out; brains,
and balance will be what the
men prefer. Miss Kerr quotes
D. Francis Scott, president of
the Business and Professional
Women, and Associate Profess
sor of Hygiene at Smith Col
lege, as saying "You are away
behind the times if you think
men want wives who are beau
tiful but dumb. 1 see silly girls
who still think they have to do
the oh you great big strong
man, act but they don't get
the second date. The survey she
says shows "a man doesn't want
beautiful but dumb wife. He
may like such companionship
for an evening. but he wants a
life partner with a few brains
and ability to use them. Times
have changed. Partner and part
nership are words frequently
used by both men and women
to express what they want in
marriage today"
In the next few years it is
extremely important that two
things be done. First, we must
see that more qualified women
ed on boards of policy. Second,
are elected to office and appoint
we must qualify more women
for those jobs. Take a school
board. Men are primarily con-
cerned with the school plant,
cost, budget, salaries, and ap-
pearance and the way the
school reflect the pride of the
community. Women look at the
teacher that is dealing with
their children, the safety of
transportation, the food served
and so on What we need
is balance created by the think
ing of both women and men"
