ing the domiciliary center here

sistance in finding new inter
ests. ' --.

Lumbering, Other
Holding
During Winter
Salem (U.F9 -.Lumbering,
construction and metals manu
facturing have been -holding up
well during the usually slacken
ing winter months but other sea
sonal let-downs ' have been fac
tors in the uptrend of unemploy
. merit according to the State Un
employment Compensation com
jnission. -
i This has resulted in a mid-
. January claims load somewhat
under, last year's and about the
same as in early 1853. - -
Slight Decrease - --
Employment in the basic log'
ing '. and lumbering industry
was estimated at 78,800 in mid-
December. That compared with
23,100 a month before and 70,-
B0O the previous year.
I Construction , also remained
cn a more even keel than usual
t this season with 21,000 work
ing last month. .
I Employers' reports tabulated
by the commission showed 458,
900 non-farm jobs last month,
decline of 2,400 from Novem
Tber but 8,200 more, than a year
go. Food processing, ship re
pairing and some other smaller
industrial groups had fewer
workers thap in .late 1953 but
Manufacturing ; as r a whole t re
ported 134,800 employed, a rise
f 6,200 over a year -before. s

"In this rehabilitation effort,
we are concentrating on a pro
gram of adapting the men to the
task of making their lives bene
ficial to themselves while here,"
Ruffin states. -Five
Classifications ;
A . light detail is required . of
the membership, under VA regu
lations, in five . classifications.
The kind of work that may be
performed ' depends on the na
ture of their disability. V
The planning board, however,
will go further than the mere as
signment of a job. It will also
consider personal factors in each
case. If physical or corrective
therapy is needed, Dr. Samuel D.
Earhart, in charge of this pro
gram, will prescribe the treat
ment, as well as . make recom
mendations in the physical medi
cine and rehabilitation program.
Under the revised recreational
schedule, occupational therapy
and group interests have; been
developed, in addition to the arts
and crafts program, and are su
pervised by a trained therapist;
Special' Services 1 Chief Frank
Glonning is the board -member
who recommends such activity.
Therapists Added ; '. : r
In the last year two therapists
have been added and encourage
ment given to - Red Cross and
other volunteer - efforts in the
training program. . ! ; -
, The - new . admission " p 1 a n,
which is' being given a thorough
workout under board 'supervis
ion, has already proved of bene
fit to Contact Officer Veldon J.
Diment, who is able to clear the
veteran's record, on pension and
other details, upon arrival. The
chaplains also find this an oppor
tune time to make their first con
tacts. V ' ' - v - '
Actual details are confined to
Company 1 members, most of
whom are able to hold member
jobs or perform a limited amount
of assigned work. Nearly half of
the" members,' however, fall in
the class where no detail is as
signed because of infirmities or
disability. . These . men . will be
given credit for participation in
other phases of the rehabilitation
effort.
May Extend Scope - -
- Success of the method has
brought consideration for ex
tending the scope of the board's
work to men already assigned
but 'who have not as yet made
satisfactory adjustments. .

I AM A TRAINED
SONOTONE HEARINC5
A T OAKTCtll T KTT
.. . . , - - .
BY TRAINING andjong experience, I have helped
hundreds to better hearing. Now 1 have a wonder- ;
fill new hearing aid to h:lp you break; through that
iron curtain of deafness, and bring back conversa
e tion, music the laughter of life. , , , t. . .
- This is the brilliant, new Sonotone "1200." Here,
for the first time, Sonotone has put not three but
FOUR transistors in a hearing aid to bring you
DOUBLE hearing help
- - :-
1. MORE POWER than ever before, for easier, -
hearing-NOW.
2. RESERVE POWER, so you can use this Sono-'
? i tone for years to come. ?
If your present hearing aid is unsatisfactory or if
you hear but don't understand you owe it to your- j
self to investigate just how valuable this splendid .
new Sonotone can be for. YOU. - -And
remember, if hearing help is possible, I can t
, bring it to you. Come in andlet me prove it. There's 1
no obligation. ' 'J ,
C Ri ADAMSON, District Manager
839 East Jrckson Blvd.4 . .
uates the background history of
men.- His recommendations,
based upon interviews, are help
ful in this part of the plan.
Company Captains Martin and
McEvars talk with - new "re
cruits' and try to assign them
beds in a building or ward where
they -, will find 'congenial com
panions. If this does not suit
them,' they may be'move'd. This
is the rule, rather than the ex
ception, under the policy of ."hu
manizing1', living conditions here.
" Ernie Rickson, the detail "ser
geant, using his list of available
detail assignments, puts the new
member to work at a task which
conforms with the medical-social
classification as well as the apti
tude and interest of the member.
Memorandum Quoted f r
In a recent memorandum cov
ering domiciliary member detail,
Manager E. K. Ricker stated;
! . "Members are detailed to per
form duties on the well-recognized
principle that employment
suitable to the individual's con
dition is beneficial both from a
physical and mental standpoint
"It must be borne in mind that
detail work will be necessary
work ; of a constructive nature
which contributes to the mainte
nance of the station as a . whole
or the quarters ' occupied by
members, and-which the mem
bers feel" serves a definite pur
pose." ,' ' ' ' : : .
At the present time "75 mem
bers are listed in Class 1, cover-'
ing the heavier details; 130 are
Class 2, calling for light work
such as gardening duties and as
helpers; 41 are listed in Class 3,
whose disabilities require, a sit
ting detail; 186 men are able to
do sweeping, dusting and similar
work- called,, for in Class. 4; and
45 men are , only able to make
their own beds and maintain
their lockers in an orderly , man
ner. .The Class 6. members are
not required to perform detail.
"More than 100 of the 800 men
on the roster are member-employees.
. The largest number
work as attendants. There, are 10
members working for the can
teen service in the coffee shop.
A' total detail assignment of 375
is listed for mess hall, custodial,
funeral, watchman, messenger
and miscellaneous duties. '
