Show WAR VETERANS RECEIVE WORK "Two hundred eighteen jobs have been provided new war veterans, ve-terans, since the first of the vear in this area," Wilbur E. Peacock, Pea-cock, manager of the Salt Lake office of the United States Employment Em-ployment Service, said today. There have been lG(i new registrations. regis-trations. Fifty-two of the veterans placed were registered previous to January 1, 1944. ; Contacting of the returning veterans is a first line duty of the employment service, Mr. Peacock explains, and personnel in the nine local offices as well as in the central administrative office in Salt Lake are trained to advise and assist veterans in readjustment to civilian status. Notice of a service man's discharge dis-charge is relayed through employment em-ployment service channels to the local office nearest his home, where he is interviewed, assisted in finding work, restored to his old job, advised as to veteran benefit rights, referred to hospital hospi-tal or compensation authorities, or whatever his circumstances may warrant. So far this year 35 registrations registra-tions have been received from other states. This office has forwarded for-warded 15 registrations to other states. A total of 260 such interstate inter-state transactions were handled through the local United States Employment Service last year. "This is practical post-war work," Mr. Peacock points out, "and is representative of the treatment that will be accorded every returning veteran from the global conflict. The employment employ-ment service is the clearing house through which the veteran may adjust himself to civil life, assured assur-ed of all service benefits to which he is entitled, and obligated only to do his just measure of wbrk according to his skill and capabilities." capa-bilities." "The other side of the picture is occupied by private enterprise, the employer at whose bench or in whose plant the veteran will find his niche. In the background stands pub'ic projects of local, state or federal nature, to sup- Clement the employment possi-llities possi-llities provided by private enterprise." |
