Provisions for the of such disabled persons into the stream of ordinary daily living have already been made. Last March Congress authorized funds for a training program that will ease maimed veterans back into civilian life with new jobs, new skills, new means of earning a livelihood. Administered by the Vocational Service of the Veterans Administration, hundreds of thousands of veterans of World War II (many not yet created) will be new trades, paid pensions taught while " Caniff, Creator of 'Terry and the Pirates ...

From all over the field, from every conceivable nook and corner, cranny and crevice, the minions of the law pick up these and other lost articles. It is a major business. The Auxiliary Police have seen just about everything: that could ' possibly be lost, including diamond rings and trench helmets. The ladies apparently have the greatest penchant for misplacing things. Compacts, cosmetic cases and various articles of female wear run near the top in things lost. The lost and found bureau conducted by Captain B. C. Hilhs. and his men goes to the length of mailing identified articles to people who have left employment here, or who were casual visitors. All lost articles that are not claimed are, after 60 days, turned over to the Base Salvage office, and they are then the tatter's worry. The Auxiliary Police wish their business in lost articles were not quite so brisk. . This squadron was delighted to hear of the wedding of Sgt. John V.
