Over 4000 Soldiers Will Return to State This Year By Eric W. Allen, Jr. Best estimates indicate that 4000 or more discharged members of 4 he armed forces will be returning to Oregon during 1944. Ai re Jdy more than 12,000 soldiers and 341 Wacs have left the army for one reason or another and 4- returned to the state. Under present conditions this group presents only a small pro blem as far as employment needs are concerned. The chief diffi culty in most cases is a psychol- Miss Sellwood Retains Post Authorization of a pension or some other financial assistance by the slate or federal govern ment for the rehabilitation, care and education of the physically handicapped was stressed at the annual convention of the Ore gon Chin-Up club here Sunday. CTJje club has a membership of mofe than 200, many of whom, because of some physical han dicap, occupy wheel chairs. "Wc arc not looking for char ity," one speaker declared, "but we are seeking state or federal assistance so that many of our members, now unable to care for themselves, may become self supporting." Members of the club were urged to write to the state senat ors and representatives of their respective districts in the inter est of some financial recognition at the next legislative session. Beth Sellwood. Salem, was re elected president of the club, while William Judd, Milwaukie, was re-elected treasurer; Phyl lis Swift, Gresham, was chosen vice-president, and Bernice Nightingale, Stayton, secretary. Aaa o n g the speakers were StateTsenator Lew Wallace and George Levy, both of Portland. Wallace promised the club the cooperation of the Elks lodge and announced a monthly finan cial contribution from that or ganization. Reports indicated that the club is gradually increasing its membership and has more than 1000 subscribers for the "Ore gon Beacon" the club's official publication. Most of the convention pro gram, which included musical numbers and other entertain ment features, was contributed by the club members. Many members of the club, the reports indicated, are now self-supporting, while others are preparing themselves for va rious occupations. A representative of the Eagles lodge said the state convention of that organization at The Dal t lea this summer would consider outright support for the Chin-Up club. A pot-luck luncheon pre ceded the business sessions. Tompkins Says Ceilings Injurious Grants Pass, Ore., June 13 U.R Morton Tompkins, state master of the Oregon Grange, said today that OPA tactics of setting price ceilings had in many Instances brought finan cial injuries to farmers. Tompkins said that the war food administration failed to fulfill its promises to support prices on certain food crops in many cases and that some price levels were below cost of pro duction. He said the conditions brought about by OPA practices would not build confidence and flflhat, were it not for the patriot ism of the farmer, food produc tion would be endangered. lAlfl b HUSH .

But when it is realized that about 115,000 Oregon men and women are in the armed forces and will be pouring back in in creasing numbers from now on, problems are presented which are yet to be solved, in spite of the great strides in that direction which have been made by dif ferent agencies. Many Take Former Jobs Personal contact is not made, at present, with all returning servicemen. The U.S. employ ment service has instituted a postcard system of checking up on veterans, asking them what sort of Jobs they desire. Up to the present, however, many have back their old jobs and many have gotten jobs for them selves, without notifying USES in some cases they are re ceiving medical treatment or are resting after their combat experiences. It is virtually im possible to maintain contact with all of them. There is no present difficulty in placing veterans in jobs. They are in great demand, being vir tually draft-proof in most cases, and there are more jobs for them than can be filled. Some firms, indeed, have made spe cific inquiries for disabled sol diers, seeking to adapt them to places in their organizations. There is an increasing demand for handicapped veterans. Some Counties Organize A number of counties in the slate have set up their own or ganizations to aid returning sol diers. Various fraternal groups have plans under way to give service which veterans may re quire, other than that provided by the uses the state and the HEM 4' (WNY TM CHANCES! ft ,' 7 fLyf A CLEAN looking washbasin may give you a false sense of security ... it can look clean yet harbor invisible germ dan gers.
