Cash Payments Poor Substitute For Job Readjustment allowances are a poor substitute for a job, James' Julian Bush, executive director ,of the South Carolina Employment Se curity Commission, warned unem ployed veterans today. An unem ployed veteran is most often his own best employment agent, he said, and urged those claiming re adjustment allowances for unem ployment to engage in a diligent search for jobs for themselves. Mr. Bush pointed out that many of the thousands of jobs which were open a year ago have been filled by workers released from the serv ice and now veterans haven’t the choice of employment which was available then. “In spite of the increased num ber of workers available, people by the thousands are being hired every day,” he said. “If an unemployed veteran is tq get a job he must be at the right place at the right time. Mere registration at an employ ment office is no guarantee of a job. The veteran serves himself best by adding 'his own job hunt ing efforts to those of the Em ployment service. “The veteran who unnecessarily delays his own readjustment to civilian occupation does himself an injustice. Readjustment allowances are only temporary and unless the veteran conserves them, they may be gone when he most needs them.” Mr. Bush said that families, "riends, and home communities can ender invaluable service to the selection great group of young veterans who have had no previous civilian occu pations or job hunting experience. The official said no veteran may receive allowances who holds him self unavailable for suitable work. A large number of applicants have been held ineligible because of this provision in the law, he added. Famous Sparks Circus Back On Road—Coming This Way DR.
