Veterans' Job Rights Information Available Rotary Governor At Club If you're a recently discharged veteran looking for a new job, or if you've decided to return to the job you left when you entered the service, the U.S. Department of Labor can provide you with some valuable information. The Labor Department has prepared a series of booklets explaining veterans' job rights nd outlining affirmative ac- jon and equal employment pportunity programs for veterans. The booklets, available free of charge, are: "Out of the Service and Looking for a Job? Here's Help!" "Jobs for Veterans With Disabilities" "Veterans! Try the Em,j ployment Service" "Veterans! Train for a Skilled Trade Through Ap­ prenticeship" "Veterans Employment Program" (leaflet) "The Federal Law Requiring' Equal Employment Op­ portunity for Veterans" (leaflet) Alexander White, Regional Director of the Labor Depart­ ment's Region V, noted that there are three agencies within the Labor Department cooperating in administration and enforcement of affirmative action and employment programs for recently discharged veterans: the Employment and Training Administration (ETA), the Employment Standards Ad­ ministration (ETA), the Labor management Services Ad­ ministration, (LMSA). White explained that ETA is charged with the respon­ sibility of working with local state employment service offices to provide veterans with special interviews, counseling, job preparation and job placement services. Veterans Employment Service (VES) representatives of ETA,working through the 2,400 state employment service offices across the country, assure priority services to veterans. The Comprehensive Em­ ployment and Training Act (CETA) administered by ETA provides jobs, training, and related services to the unemployed, underemployed and disadvantaged. Under the Act, priority is extended several groups including Vietnam-era veterans who are assisted in obtaining civilian jobs through counseling, testing, job training and other services, and referral to suitable employment. The Office of Federal Con­ tract Compliance Programs, part of ESA, administers the equal employment opportunity and affirmative action programs for veterans, White said. The law prohibits em­ ployers doing business with the Federal government from discrimination in employment against disabled and Vietnam- era veterans. In addition, the law requires such employers to take affirmative action to hire and promote qualified veterans. LMSA's Office of Veterans' Reemployment Rights (OVRR) informs veterans and em­ ployers of the reemployment rights of men and women who leave their jobs to serve with armed forces. It is OVRR's responsibility to ensure that those who have joined the armed forces do not lose their jobs and other employee benefits because of military service.

PAGE 15 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 197* Debate Questionnaire Held At Marian High A group of Marian Central Cathlic high school students from Dominic Riccordino's Socilogy class recently con­ ducted a survey concerning the Ford-Carter debates. Their main concern was the women in McHenry county and whether these women were influenced by, or noticed the appearance of the candidates more often than the men of McHenry county. They first constructed a hypothesis which stated: "Women voters in McHenry county notice the appearance of the candidates more than the male voters in McHenry county notice their appearance." They then constructed an oral questionnaire, which would provide data for their questions which would support or not support their hypothesis. The group then proceeded to ask men and women of voting age the questions on their schedule. Persons from the following towns were questioned: Harvard, Hebron, McHenry, Woodstock, Crystal Lake and Wonder Lake. The number of persons questioned was determined by the per centage of population of each town. It was found that the population of males in McHenry county was very close to that of the females and a one-to-one ratio would be used. An equal number of men and women from each town was then questioned based on this information. The following three questions 0 were asked of each resident: 1) Did you watch the recent Ford Carter debate0 2) Do you plant to vote in the upcoming November election? 3) Whom did you think, of the two can didated looked, neater in ap­ pearance? A. Ford B. Carter C Don't know. After the data was collected students determined if their results supported their hypothesis. The results found were that women in McHenry county of voting age notice the ap­ pearance of the candidates more than the men Their conclusion supported their hypothesis. 83rd ANNIVERSARY SALE TUESDAY OCTOBER 13th thru SATURDAY OCTOBER 16th Come help us celebrate this gala event of fabulous values . • • 83 years of fashion leadership and you're In for super savings this week Plus many chances to win great prizes . . . other specials during sale days tool Misses Size 8-18 BAR APPOINTMENTS Francis J.
