a soldier who was just dis
charged. If we get married
will I. then be eligible
for discharge?
A, A Wac can obtain a
discharge if she marries a
veteran of the armed for
ces who served any time
since Sept 16, 1940* You
may apply for release as
soon as you are married,
but.not, of course, while
you are engaged.
Q, I'm awaiting my dis
charge on points. Mean
while,! hear the railroads
are hard up for manpower.
What are the chances for a
man without railroad experr
ience?
A. Pretty good. More than
24,000 vets are now fill
ing vital jobs on the nat
ions railways, and not all
of them were in that line
before the war. The V© sp
ecifically states that ma
ny skills acquired in the
army are needed by these
carriers, and the roads
also have 62,000 openings
for unskilled workmen. Ap
plicants should get in
touch with thd Railroad
Retirement Board or the U,
S. Employment Service.
