The sample survey covered 1,812 men discharged from our widely scattered separation centers last July. > They filled out questionnaires regarding their plans at separation. These were followed by question- , naires or interviews within two or four months which brought returns from 92 per cent of those originally 'questioned. • About foui*Bfths of< the veterans • took jobs within three months after '"•discharge. * - 'The job turnover was fairly high. Nearly a fifth of the veterans reported they had left at feast one r job when they answered the followjlij& questionnaires. Wages Disappoint, 4 " Generally speaking, the men Returned to jobs at about the same skill level they had when they entered the army, despite their belief they could upgrade themselvjes immediately after discharge. Veterans reported disappointment with wages, arising largely from the stories of tremendous civilian earnings which they heard while in service. Only 3 per cent reported they were full-time students. However, discharges in July were from among older men with long service, of Whom few would be interested in continuing education. Of those examined, 64 per cent were working full-time before entering the army. Twenty-two per cent of all questioned returned to work with their former employer. Three per cent planned to return, 2 per cent tried but couldn't get their old jobs back, 4 per cent asked, but decided not to return, and 33 per cent made no effort to return. On separation, 8 per cent said they would seek or return to government jobs and 11 per cent said they would probably try for government jobs. Some Ask Benefits. _ Within 90 days of discharge, 8 per cent of those examined had taken public employment, threequarters with federal agencies, 10 per cent had applied for such jobs and nearly a third planned to apply later. Twenty-two per cent of those examined applied for benefits under the G.I. bill of rights. Only about half of these had received favorable action at the time of their replies. Relatively few were turned down for educational aid or readjustment allowances. Rejection of loan applications ran higher than acceptances. The follow-up questionnaires did not seek to go into psychological adjustment. Appended comments, however, supported the conclusion arrived at from the number of job turnovers that many veterans were restless. Some appeared to have a "veteran complex" -- a feeling the veterans were not receiving the treatment they deserved. Others expressed belief veterans were getting all of the breaks or more than they ware entitled to.

Unhappy marriages, sickness, poverty, loss of loved ones, press dotvn on many women until the burden feels unbearable. There is onlyone way out. After divorcing her first hus* band, Hallie married again, ac~ 'quiring two step-children at the same time. Her own son contracted infantile paralysis and required constant care. Another baby died at birth. Then her husband began to spend his money on other women. Hallie's misery bowed-her to the earth. Then she turned in despera* tion, to prayer. She "cast her burden upon the lx)rd." Slowly she regained peace and resignation. Scientists Ridicule Idea Of Stone-Eating Germ* PARIS.--A croup of .-flovccMnantappointed French scientists branded as "ridiculous" an account in the French press predicting that Notre Dame cathedral might be leveled in 20 years by mysterious stone-eating microbes. The scientists added that it was a better guess to say the famous cathedral still would be standing 500 years from now, although they admitted there was some deterioration either from the activities of microbes or from sulphuric acid produced by coal smoke. The group, which includes chem-. ists, biologists and geologists, recently was appointed by the government's Beaux-Arts department to survey the condition of monu* ments throughout France. Comics and Pictures Used To Teach Bible Lessons BUCK HILL FALLS, PA. -- The use of comics and pictures to teach Bible stories to children in Sunday school Was described as "a great Success" by the general board of education of the Methodist church. ,The board reported that 700,000 copies of comic-picture texts were " published each week. • #»?- r J M # ' UNRRA Decides to Take All Horse Meat WASHINGTON. -- Two million pounds of horsemeat have been shipped abroad, but UNRRA has requests for 300 million pounds more and has told packing plants it will take their entire output for 1946.

By KATHLEEN NORRtS F YOU knew of a country without care, would you move there? If--beyond the ocean borders, or far south toward the Polethere was an ideal land of eternal spring, a land whose people were simple and good, a land without money worries, without the nagging fears and disappointments that make up our daily lives here, without hate and war, how busily, and with what energy and determination, thousands of war-weary and worry-weary families would plan to move there! Any sacrifice would bie worth while, any effort made easy, by such a hope for ourselves and our children. For life on today's terms has grown too hard and too complicated, and in a sense, 'too hopeless, for many of us to face with courage. Mankind has been busy for years creating all the evils from which civilization ought to rescue us; rum, hate, despair, fear, hunger, disease, debt. Now when optimistic voices tell us glibly how we shall overcome these evils we feel a deep discouragement. Overcome them? Why, they never should have existed at all! Well, there is that ideal country,. and it is close to us all. But very few women find it. When they do, when tfiey live in that placid sunshiny climate, loving life as beloved and happy children do, liking to wake in the morning, welcoming the restfulness of sleep at night, we look at them with envy. They Live la Peace. These women are rare. Some of them are homely and poor and grizzled with years. Most of them have faces that show signs of past crises, agonies, sacrifices, despairs. But these things only show enough to make brighter the peace and beauty of their present lives. Hallie Foster is one audi woman, I know. I've never seen her; perhaps never will. But she writes me a letter that tells the old story, the story of a -soul harassed wfth fears, of a body troubled with aches and pains, of a situation so complicated by mistakes and faults that there seemed to be no way out of k. Hallie wrote me from Omaha, Neb., some four years ago. She had been divorced for some years, and was living with a second husband and two step-children, all of whom made life extremely difficult for her. She had been so anxious to divorce Van and marry Bruce that she ceded to Van the custody of her own child, a boy. Her baby by Bruce died at birth--she said because of the nervous condition into which the unmanageable step-children and disappoinling husband had thrown her. She had backaches, headaches, sleep!ess nights. She wrote me that she had "long lost every vestige of charm, every scrap of attraction for Bruce, who is wasting his money on other women already." Prayer Was Answered. Meanwhile her own -boy went into a long and dangerous illness. The scourge of i n f a n t i l e p a r a l y s i s seized him end he needed actual years of tenderest c%re.

She saw him only at long intervals, and his baby loyalty and devotion went to his grandmother and aupts. What Hallie did, you can do. It is the cure. It is the open sesame to the land of peace and plenty. She, in her own words, "cast her burden upon the Lord." "I went on my knees," says her second letter, which came to me only a few days ago, "and said, 'Qh, Lord, I am wrong. I've made all the mistakes a woman can make. I've done all I could to wreck my life and the lives about me. Set me right. Show me the way!" Tha prayer was answered, of course. That prayer always is. Not by any sudden miracle, but by the slow shifting and changing of life's colors from dark to light. Hallie got up from her knees confident and refreshed, and began to do the thing nearest her with all her might. Washing, cooking, managing the children, she did it all humbly, watting for guidance. GsidMHt came. Her aching head cleared; she began to sleep deep. "I felt like wings were under everything, all of a sudden," she writes. "If Bruce's children were cranky, I'd say in my heart, 'Lord, you help them.' I was praying all day long, in my heart."
