VETERANS A1-3ITI0US
The ii'-Tprossion that the-average veteran likes to sit around for a long
time before going to work, and has some
difficulty in adapting himself to civilian life is not borne out by the findings of a survey undertaken by the Veterans' AdSiinistration in several of the
more populated cities. On the contrary,
this survey shows that more than U0$ of
tho veterans are applying for jobs and
going to work within k weeks after they
are roleascd from the service."
Brig, Con. .Frank T. Nines, Administrator of Veterans' Affairs, emphasized
that this percentage was extremely high
because the statistics included all of
the disabled veterans as well as the
ablo-bodiod ones, and very fow able-
bodied, men were d.ischarged»
"Whon you consider,"ho said, "that
