erans earning comparable
trades in regular job training
receive their subsistence allow¬
ance plus wages for their pro¬
ductive labor, he said. Non-
• veterans learning a trade by
apprenticeship are paid for
their work, he pointed out.
Owen said that an investi¬
gation by VA’s Georgia region¬
al office had disclosed that
one vocational school had used
veterans to build a county
school building, club houses for
private organizations and an
addition to a church.
In another Georgia county, a
local school committee wrote a
circular letter to parents of
school children telling of plans i
to renovate the school building
“with free labor obtained un¬ ;
der the veterans training pro¬ !
gram.” I
Some of the veterans who
performed the free labor wrote
*he Veterans Administration: -
“We are receiving no classroom
or shop training like we should
(if the school were operated
honestly. We are being mis¬
treated and the school is not
operated as the government in¬
tended it to be.”

the soft greens and pinks which
make such a flattering background

Of course, these are but a few
ways you can bring old fabrics
back into more useful service.

Remove material and rinse thor¬

be understood, however, that soma
dyes cannot be completely re¬
moved, but in most cases, suffi¬
cient color can be taken out so as
to permit re-dyeing the material.
This is a flagrant exploita¬
tion of veterans in conflict witli
’ntent of laws providing for
veterans’ training, Owen said.
To work veterans on real jobs
without paying them for their
work is discrimination against
them and a use of their free
labor in competition with pri¬
vate business which pays its
woikers.

As consumers we want prices
reduced, but the one thing we
desire most is more and better

Mr. Schmiedlgen and a large
corps of workers are at pres¬
