the employment service shows
that many employers have rec
ognized the work ability of
handicapped persons. However,
not all employers have learned
that handicapped workers are as
efficient, safe and productive
workers when they are placed in
Jobs which utilize their abilities
AS good as or better than non
handicapped workers"
AS a result Of the demon
strated abilities Of handicapped
workers during World War II
McCracken said, the 10th Con-
gress, on August II, 1945, pass
ed Public Law 176 providing for
National Employ the Physically
Handicapped Week each year.
Much has been accomplished
in the three annual NEPH Weeks
which have been observed in
North Carolina. For example,
Mr.. McCracken said, $500 place
ments Of disabled veterans and
other handicapped persons have
been effected through the faci-
lities Of the State Employment
Service. However, the accom-
plishmnts have not been limited
to the three weeks" since the
number Of placements Of handi-
capped persons in North Caro-
lima during the last three years
totaled 1884.
Mr.. McCracken said the handi-
capped job problem Is looked
upon by the State Employment
Service as a year-round matter,
and a continuous program for
placement Of disabled veterans
and other impaired workers is
being carried out every day of
the year. This program is based
on the proof that when disabled
workers have been properly re-
habilitated, trained. and placed
on the jobs which emphasize
their abilities, they invariably
make good.
The detectives Of the 1913
NEPH Week, according to Nc
Crcaken are: ~ promotion of
favorable attitudes on the part
of the public, especially en-
ployers, toward handicapped
workers; (2) to make known the
availability of rehabilitation,
training, and employment SER
vices to all handicapped persons
in the State; (3) promotion OF
continued employment of pre-
sently employed handicapped
workers; and ~ promotion of
employment for all disabled vet
Grams and other handicapped
workers who are ready for en-

period by local officials, organi-
cations and individuals.
Mr.. McCracken said that Of
fetal records show that in the
5-year period ending June 80.
1948, nearly 100000 placements
of handicapped veterans and
other disabled persons had been
made through the public employ
ment service throughout the
country. In the same period, Nc
Cracker said, placements Of dis
abled veterans and other handi-
capped workers through the faci-
lities Of the local offices of the
State Employment Service to-
tailed 26,372.
These national and State
placement figures show the big
advance that has been made in
obtaining public, and especially
employer, acceptance of handi-
capped workers in jobs for which
they are qualified as much as
non-handicapped workers." said
McCracken.
Before World War II, job
placements Of handicapped per-
sons were comparatively few

With Care You Can Sow
Next Years Flowers Now

When 1t comes to sowing seed,
men have improved on nature in
some respects. In preparing the
seed bed. spacing the seed and
covering 1t. they avoid the lavish
waste which characterizes ma.
lures methods. But in timing seed
sowing, natures way is usually the
best.
Annual flowers drop their seed
In late summer and fall. Many fall
on hard soil, and fail to find cover;
but those which do so will grow
and. if hardy varieties. will produce
superior plants for next years
Towering. They bloom earlier
than plants grown from spring
sown seed, and sturdier than those
started In a greenhouse.
But to make every seed produce
n plant. care must be taken to
overcome numerous hazards.
Seeds or seeding plants may
drown in locations where water
fails to drain of promptly; they
may be washed out Of the soil by
heavy rains, or decay in soil that
remains wet too long. Wherever
several ANIMALS commonly seed
themselves. conditions are likely to
be favorable for other varieties. In
4 garden where no ANIMALS self
seed. 1t will be prudent to prepare
4 special bed for fall sowing. with
the surface raised several inches
to insure good drainage, and sur
rounded by . wooden curb several
inches high, to prevent rains wash
ing over 1t.
No. ! candidate for fall sowing
Is the annual larkspur. This is a
flower that takes a long time to
terminate, and demands cool
weather in which to do 1t. II is so
hardy that when it drops seed in a
favorable place, its tiny seed
lngs develop in the fall and live
through the most severe winters un-
harmed. Ifpossible, seed should be
sown in the place where the flow
ers are wanted. since it is seldom
practical to transplant this subject.
Shirley poppies. calliopsis. candy
tuft. cosmos. the fragrant nicoti-
ana, and all colors Of bachelor but
ton are as hardy as oaks, and will
grow from fall sown seed unless
destroyed by one Of the special

ployment.
Mr.. McCracken said that the
N. c. State Employment Service
is cooperating with the Veter-
ans Employment Service of the
USES in the placement Of dis
abled veterans. He announced
that through August of the pre-
sent year placements Of disabled
veterans by the State employ
ment service facilitis reached ap-
proximately 1890.
The disabled are a part Of the
community friends, neighbors,
and relatives-and represent I'M
used productive ability when I'M
employed, McCracken said. He
emphasized that employers who
employ handicapped workers are
usually unstinting in their praise
of the disabled workers as able,
careful and reliable workers. In
ever instance, the thing to be
sure of is that the handicapped
workers are placed in jobs
which they can perform, he said,
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-10-07

premium, employers in numer-
Gus plants decided to try out
handicapped workers-the blind,
the hard Of hearing, amputees
and others. The results were so
satisfactory that employers in an
increasing number Of war plants
hired the handicapped in ex-
banding numbers. In calendar
year 1914, for example, 288,000
placements of disabled persons
were made through the public
employment service facilities
more than five times as many
as during 1941. During 1914, s.
500 placements OF handicapped
persons were made through the
local offices Of the State En-
ployment Service" McCracken
said.
THE big advance made during
the war has been largely MAIN
tanned. For example, United
States Employment Service sta
tistics, released by the Bureau
Of Employment Security, Fed
eral Security Agency, reveal
that during the fiscal year 1916
Al. nearly $4,000 placements OF
handicapped persons were made
through the public employment
service. During the same period
in N. c. placements Of handi-
capped persons totaled $685..

winter hazards which have been
mentioned. These also are seldom
transplanted. Since they grow with
out difficulty from spring sown
seed, there is not the same need
for fall sowing that exists with the
annual larkspur, but plants from
fall sowing give flowers earlier,
and are much more vigorous than
greenhouse or hot-bed In the
spring, in the attempt to get early
flowers.
When bulbs are planted alone in
beds or borders, hardy ANIMALS
may be sown in the same place
this fall, to blossom after the
bulbs have Powered and their TO-
liage has disappeared. Rows Of
hardy ANIMALS suitable for cut flow
ers may be sown in the vegetable
plot, after it has been spaded this
fall,

INC. is trying to organize the
American people, and people
everywhere to bring this prophecy
into reality in our own day.
Every citizen in our country ought
to join NOW this, the greatest
project before the world today,
and to my fellow Jews say. Hold
fast to your Judaism, for 1--WE
shall not fail nor be discouraged
until we have set Justice in all
the earth, and the isles shall wait
for our Torah."
And so I pray with you: Happy,
