Brief OSES Staff
On Aid To Vets

Mr.. Wendell B. Edgerley, State
Veteran Employment Representa-
tive recently completed a two-day
training program on services to vet
erans for staff members of the Ohio
State Employment Service located
at 14814 st. Clair ave.
The sessions got under way after
brief Introductory remarks by Mr..
B. J. Doyle, local office manager.
Doyle said that the Veterans EN-
ployment Service is not a placement
agency. While it does occasionally
refer selected vterans to employers,
the actual placement process is the
responsibility Of the State Employ
ment Services.
The Veteran Employment Service
has primary responsibility in lead
ership and functional supervision of
employment services in furthering
veterans employment. The State
Veterans Employment Representa-
tive is charged by law to promote
interest, to inform, to gather in
formation, to advise, to improve
working conditions and to advance
the employment of veterans.
Mr.. Henry Cockfield, World War
II veteran of the Army is the Vet
eran Employment Representative in
the local office.
