THE BROWNING CHIEF ‘IT’S GOOD BUSINESS’ Observance Sparks Program To Get Jobs for Handicapped WASHlNGTON.—lmportance to the nation of maintaining em ployment for handicapped work ers is being stressed in the first observance of National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week, being held the week of October 6-12. The observance, authorized by congress and proclaimed by Presi dent Truman, is intended to spark a nationwide drive to provide work for millions of handicapped persons, including thousands of veterans of two World wars, millions of victims of industrial and other types of ac cidents and those who are handi capped as a result of sickness, dis ease or birth. Join in Promotion. Under leadership of United States Employment service, Veterans’ ad ministration and Disabled Ameri can Veterans, governmental and private agencies are promoting the week. Through numerous citizens’ committees information concern ing the physically handicapped and their abilities as workers will be disseminated and public education will be fostered. Introduced during the week was the hew official “trademark” of the selective placement program for physically handicapped and its slo gan, “Hire the handicapped—it’s good business.” More than 300,000 disabled work ers, including 238,000 disabled vet erans, now are ready for work and are seeking employment through the USES, according to Robert C. Goodwin, director. Pointing out that HIRE THE HANDICAPPED GOOD mahy of them are highly skilled workers, Goodwin say’s that they are immediately employable in jobs which emphasize their abili ties rather than their disabilities. Perform Skilled Jobs. Disabled workers, for the most part, are veterans who came home from the war with amputations or other permanent injuries and civil ian war workers involved in in dustrial and other accidents, ac cording to the director. The handi caps sustained by these workers have not impaired their capacities to perform skilled jobs, he empha sizes. In referring to the wartime em ployment record of the physically handicapped, Goodwin reports that 83 per cent of the nation’s indus tries employed more than a million handicapped workers. These men, he adds, “frequently excelled the output of non-disabled employees.” Earn Own Way. “Veterans and other workers who were victims of circumstances be yond their control want to keep their self-respect and earn their own way. They are capable of do ing it and certainly they deserve the opportunity,” Goodwin insists. Discussing the problem of the handicapped veteran, Maj. Gen. Graves B. Erskine of the retrain ing and re-employment administra tion says: “The disabled veteran is a vitally important man in our post war economy. If the nation, the state and the community fail to make suitable provisions for dis abled veterans, the loss will be great. For wounds and injuries so frequently are the result of leader ship and bravery that we dare not lose the services of the disabled vet eran.” Pigs ‘Hit the Bottle’ As Makeshift Mother ARLINGTON, WASH. — When a mother sow refused to raise her nine little pigs, A. R. Leaquee didn’t worry — he just devised a new “mother.” The ingenious farm er taught the pigs to drink from a bottle and then built a rack with nine bottles suspended from it.
