THE THINKER
National Employ The Physically Handicapped Week
This week is National Employ the Physically
Handicapped Week, as proclaimed by Congress in 1945
and is intended to call to mind at least once a year that
the “Nation needs the services of every person capable
of productive work in its gigantic task of mobilizing
to meet the requirements of defense and to maintain
the civilian economy.”
In his proclamation this year President Truman
states that the handicapped of our nation have demon
strated that they are capable workers when placed in
jobs suited to their abilities, training and experience
and therefore as a group constitute a valuable resource
of manpower.
He urges that mayors of municipalities, other
public officials, as well as community and industrial
leaders lend their assistance and encouragement in
the observance of the designated week in order to
enlist public interest in the employment of the physi
cally handicapped.
The winner in the presidential campaign will win
more converts on the 5th of Nov. than any other day.

who vote Democratic, so that Democrats will continue in
power. Higher prices—higher taxes. The federal grab is
becoming larger every year. The Democratic trend is
toward Socialism. If all citizens—all Alaskan voters who
do not want Socialism and total federal governmental
control, it is now time to change —
