Handicapped
week observed
October 1-7 has been declared
National Employ the Handi
capped Week by President
Richard M. Nixon.
In coordination with the
national observance, Sid Dell,
chairman of the Griffin com
mittee on employment of the
handicapped, is calling on all
employers, both public and
private, to give full and equal
consideration to handicapped
men and women in filling jobs.
Dell said hiring the han
dicapped is a sound business
principle.
“Experience has taught
many employers that handi
capped workers, properly
placed in jobs they can perform,
are valuable assets to the firm;
their performance is good, their
attendance is above average
and their safety record is en
viable,” he added.
