SURPLUS PROPERTY-
The following War Department Radio
relayed from Ninth Service Command is
quoted for information of all military
personnel:
"You have no preference on purchase
of surplus property unless it is to be
used in your own small business or agr
icultural or professional enterprise,
or unless the nature of your employment
requires you to own it. You cannot exer
cise tl is preference until you have
been certified by an office of the smal
ler war plants corporation. Without
this certificate, there is no possible
way for you, as an indivdual to boy
consumer goods, such as trucks, tools,
and farm equipment at a government sale
of war surplus. The government does not
sell consumer goods directly to any in
dividual for his own personal r.cnbusi
ness use."
VS C/ViL OaTS/cS cJoBS
(CNS) - The biggest employer in the
country is Uncle Sam himself,and there’s
scarcely a skill or a trade which he
cannot use. Which is a fact of import
ance to job-seeking ex-servicemen, es
pecially since veterans receive prefer
ence in the employment of civil service ,
personnel.
Before the war there were 1,000,000
federal employees,and during the battle
the numbers rose to 3,000,000. The num
ber is presently decreasing with the
liquidation of war agencies, but the
chances are there will be more federal
employees after the war than there were
before. This is because government reg
ulation of many activities is here to
stay; this is admitted by many who do
not approve of it.
