APPRENTICESHIP FOR VETO With many labor unions suffering from lack of apprentice help, particu larly the building trades unions, the federal committee on apprenticeship has through a survey of Industry learned that 300,000 apprenticeship po sitions can be handled by Industry from the ranks of returning service men. The committee consists of represen tatives of management, labor unions, the U. S. Department of Labor, U. S. Office of Education, the Federal Secur ity agency and the apprentice-training service of the War Manpower commis sion. The committee has recommended that to protect veterans and to main tain high standards of apprenticeship, adequate safeguards be set up by state agencies authorized to approve busi ness establishments for apprentice training to assure veterans thorough training in ail skilled trades. The com mittee has ruled out as apprenticeable training programs for occupations such as salesman, managerial positions, pro fessional and semi-professional posi tions and clerical work. Definitions for true apprenticeship which are reserved for all-round skilled trades and which have been adopted by WMC’s apprentice training service in clude the following basic standards: (1) An apprenticeable oc.upation Is considered one that requires 4,000 or more hours to learn; (2) A schedule of .he work pr ocesses to be learned on the Job; (3) A progressively Increasing scale of wages that should average not less than 60 per cent of the journey man's rate over the apprenticeship period; (4) Provisions for related class room instruction of about 144 hours per year; (5) Terms of condition of employment and training to be stated in a written agreement and registered with the state apprenticeship council; (6) Review of local apprenticeships by the state or federal apprenticeship councils; (7) Apprenticeship to be Jointly established by the employer and employe; ;8) Adequate supervision and the keeping of records for all appren ticeship programs. Questions and Answers Q.—What Information must a veteran submit In order to apply for guaranty of a loan under the Gl Bill of Rights? A.—The veteran first executes a form called a certificate of eligibility. In this he gives a summary of his service record, the amount of the loan, and the purpose for which it is to be used. This is submitted to the Veterms Ad ministration by the lending agency. Q.—If a blue discharge from the Army Is neither honorable nor dishon orable, under what circumatances Is It given? A.—The War Department Informs us that an honorable discharge certificate is given when a soldier’s service has been honorable. A dishonorable dis charge is given in compliance with the sentence of a general courtmartial be cause of a military offense of a serious nature. A discharge “other than honor able" (blue) Is given for in-between cases. Q-—Is there a plan to release from the Army men who have had four to five years service without regard to other factors? A.—No, there is no plan for release because of length of service. There is authority for retirement of a soldier after 30 years’ service or If he is dis abled in line of duty after 20 years’ service. Q.—I am In a veterans hospital re solving domiciliary ears. Can I also recslve oducational or vocational reha bilitation benefits at ths same time? A.—Yes, the Veterans Administra tion has ruled that a ve! ran receiving vocational training or education under either Public Law 346 or Public Law 16 of the 78th Congress while receiv ing domiciliary care Is not receiving duplicate benefits, which ts prevented by law. <>•—There seems to ba some difficulty over seniority rights In obtaining my old Job. Is there anything 1 can do about It? i A.—Yes, if you fill all other qualifica tions of the selective service act you are entitled to your old Job as a matter or right, regardless of any question of seniority. This Is the ruling of the Fed eral Courts and of the National Head quarters of the selective service sys tem. Q.—What Is the ratio of disabled vet erans applying for Jobs? A.—The War Manpower Commission reports that of more than 1,000,000 veterans who have sought employment at U. S. Employment service offices, approximately one-fourth were physi cally disabled and required selective placement techniques. Q.—How many loans and In what amount has been mads under the Q.I. BUI of Rights? A.—The Veterans Administration re ports that through June, 1945, 10,441 loans tor a total of 117,241,457.43 had been guaranteed. IhecJtome (l&juvtt&i in WASHINGTON By Walter Shead WNU Correspondent WNU Washiagton Bureau 621 Union Trust Building Protection of War Orphans I_T OW many war babies have been ^-J-born in your community? How many children have become wards as a result of war casualties? So impor tant are questions raised by these two factors, the children’s bureau of the department of labor is undertaking a nation-wide survey. According to records of the veterans' administration alone, minor wards un der guardianship of the administration will reach approximately 750,000. Al ready the veterans’ administration has 150,000 minor wards under guardian ship as result of World War L In addition, Uncle Sam has underwritten the cost of babies to service men, which has already cost more than $119,000,000 for about 600,000 babies and another 150,000 who are on the way. This money is being used to pay for ma ternity care, nursing and hospital care for these infants of men In the armed forces. This government aid is avail able to wives and infants of men in the four lowest grades in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps. The average cost Is less than $100. The records show that, proportion ately, the small town and rural areas have the largest number of babies and that, as is true in every war-time period, the boys outnumber the girls. The children’s bureau has deter mined that present guardianship laws are “archaic” and that “many children under guardianship are being cheated out of their Inheritances and income.” “No less tragic, although not so dra matic, is the plight of many children who, because of indifferent or incom petent guardianship, are not getting the proper care and upbringing,” the report declares. The bureau asserts that it intends to lay before the country the conditions affecting and surrounding children un der guardianship and suggest legisla tion which will improve both the laws and the administration of the laws. Model Statutes Planned. The children’s bureau is also con cerned with thousands of children un der guardianship who are receiving sur vivor’s benefits under old age and sur vivor’s insurance as part of the social security program. It is apparent that If there is to be any great change or liberalization of the guardianship laws, it must start in the state legislatures, since the state, under our system of government, has the responsibility for the welfare of children. It will be the purpose of the children’s bureau to draw up model laws seeking more protection for these minor wards and present them to the various states for adoption, or for re codifying of existing statutes. The National Commission for Chil dren in Wartime, which is made up of outstanding men and women working in the child welfare and youth field, including representatives of labor un ions and farm organizations, has Just completed a year’s study which is in line with this move of the children’s bureau. It recommends a student aid program written under the experience gained 'n the administration of educa tional benefits of the GI bill of rights to reach children at high school levels. The commission's report Included proposals for study of a four-point program: (1) Job placement services to assist young people In employment; (2) work-school pro grams to provide to young people opportunity to combine work and school; (3) employment of youth on public service projects (similar probably to work done under the National Youth Administration pro gram), and, (4) skilled counseling services with emphasis on the spe cial needs of those young people during the reconversion period. In commenting on the children's bu reau plan to “move in” on the guardian ship situation, Miss Mary Stanton, con sultant on guardianships, said: Laws Out of Date. “The laws under which we are trying to operate now were written at a time when judges knew everyone In their communities and presumably knew something of the fitness of the prospec tive guardians. Neighbors, too, exer cised concern. Today it is obviously impossible for courts to know what is happening to all the children for whom they have responsibility. A probate court in a large county may have sev eral thousand child guardianship cases in a year. Tne smaller and rural com munities likewise cannot exercise the individual concern that it once did. Even if neighbors know of irregulari ties, which would not be likely, they would hesitate to Interfere unless the abuse of the child was flagrant.” It is pointed out that veterans’ or ganizations, such as the American Le gion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, have succeeded in getting a large meas ure of protection for the property of those entitled to benefits under vet erans’ compensation, but even for those children there is a lack of protection under the limitations which safeguard their personal welfare. Aad others, children of non-veterans, have even less protection. The only way, the bureau points out, for better protection for more than a trillion children is review and re-examination of the guairtiaasHp laws. Duck Is a Good Tonic for Fall Dinners , (See Recipes Below) Ways With Fish, Fowl Most of us know just how to pre pare meat to delicious perfection, but we know very little about sea soning and cook ing fish and fowl to make them de licious.

The purpose of this information is to give you some very special ways to tuck away in your mind (or recipe box, if you prefer not to trust to memory) for preparing these oth er good protein foods.

Dry ingredients for breads and muffins or biscuits can be mixed ahead of time. Puddings, custards, gelatin des serts and cookies can also be made a few days in advance. Vegetables may be cleaned, but they should not be pared, sliced or cut until ready to cook or serve as they may lose vita mins. Salad dressings and sandwich fillings can be tossed together ahead of time to speed up meal preparation. All partially prepared foods should be placed in the refrigera tor for safe keeping.

D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for September 23 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JOSEPH’S TESTIMONY TO GOD’S PROVIDENCE LESSON TEXT—Genesis 45:1-5, 9-15. GOLDEN TEXT—Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!—Psalm 107:8. Tliunderstorm Locator Indispensable to Victory No longer a war secret is a Brit ish invention, the thunderstorm lo cator, which proved indispensable to victory in Europe, says Col lier’s. Three of these instruments, installed at strategic points in England, registered simultaneous ly every near and far flash of lightning. By plotting their records, it was possible to determine the location, direction and rate of travel of all thunderstorms within 1,500 miles of the British Isles and to predict when and where they would affect the Allied forces. God rules the universe. He has His plan which will be carried ou(, yes, even in spite of man if need be. “He can overrule the acta even of v/icked men and make them links in a chain of providence by which His purposes are carried out.” Forgiveness, opening the way for the restoration of fellowship and the showing of kindness, brought the sto ry of Joseph and his brethren to a happy ending. Under the good hand of God, the story which began with tragedy is brought to a conclusion of blessing. I. Love Overcomes Fear (w. 1-4). Following the qarnest plea of Ju dah, the heart of Joseph could no longer withhold itself from the full expression of affection and devotion to his family. Joseph tenderly shielded the fam ily troubles from the eyes and ears of strangers by sending out the Egyptians. It was the first step of consideration which paved the way for reconciliation. How often just the opposite is done—airing family affairs before the world, and humili ating those who may be in the wrong, thus making it difficult for them to admit their guilt. Then, too, this was a moment too tender and delicate to be seen by outsiders. The tears of a strong man like Joseph mean a deep move ment of spirit—a solemn and often a sacred moment. It snould also be noted that the brothers were afraid, and well they might be, because of their sin against Joseph. After many years these astonished men found them selves face to face with the one whom they thought they had dis posed of and they knew their sin had found them out. It always does, sooner or later, but inevitably. II. Grace Overrules Sin (v. 5). The guilt of these men was none theless real and Joseph could not remove it, but he encouraged them by showing how God had used their evil devices to work out His own good pleasure. He can make the wrath of man to praise Him (Ps. 76:10). It is worth stressing again that in the very hour when the prospects for Joseph’s future usefulness seemed ruined, God was opening the door tc the greatest experiences of his life and was preparing him to serve the thousands whose lives were saved by his wisdom and ability in the years of famine. Nothing is more important in the life of a child of God than to be yielded to His will, unmoved by cir cumstances, abiding His time, re sponding to His guidance whether it be by the opening or closing of doors, prosperity or adversity. And herein is the marvel of it all—even sin may be overruled by God’s grace for His own glory. That does not invite anyone to sin that gTace may abound (Rom. 6: 1, 2), but it does offer encourage ment to the one who has fallen, that God can redeem the years that the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Our lesson also sets us an exam ple of how true forgiveness acts. So often when forgiveness is asked or granted, there is an “I can forgive but I can’t forget” attitude, which means that while hostilities he ve ceased at least temporarily, there is no real friendship or the disposition to show kindness. Is there any real forgiveness at all in such an atti tude of heart and mind? V/e fear not. III. Kindness Provides the Best (w. 9-15). It might have been enough to send food and a kind greeting with the brothers to their own land, but love does not seek the minimum expres sion of its feeling. It asks not how little, but how much can I give or do. Note the tender touch in verse 15, “he kissed all his brethren. Here was no general forgiveness, but a personal renewal of long-lost fel lowship. Bringing his aged father and brothers into the land of plenty was not enough, Joseph also gave to them the “best of the land” (47: 11). His thoughtful consideration in sending for his father (Gen. 46:5-7) was part of the same piece of kind ness. Joseph puts to shame the modern “hard-boiled” attitude toward needy and aged members of the family. In their eager and relentless pursuit of fame or riches, many ignore or trample upon the members of their own families. Often they are ashamed of the broken bodies, the humble apparel, the broken or un educated speech of their parents. They fear lest their new-found friends in some circle of wealth and supposed “position” will think them strange or ridiculous. God pity the man or woman who is ashamed of a humble or aged father and mother l The WONDER F00 FOR CANARIES Now! — a balanced diet for ^ canaries — all in one package. Simplifies cage bird feeding.
