BOY SCOTJT WEEK
The Boy Scout Movement "is a
prime force in preparing tomor-
row’s men for their duty to them-
selves, their country and the world,"
said General of the Army Dwight
D. Eisenhower, Chief of Staff of the
United States Army, In a message
to the Boy Scouts of America, who
mark their 36th anniversary dur-
ing Boy Scout Week, Peb. 8th to
14th.
General Elsenhower’s tribute fol-
lows:
"The Boy Scout Movement merits
the unstinted support of every
American who wants to make his
country and his world a better
place In which to live. Its em-
phasis on community service and
tolerance and world friendship pro-
motes a speedier attainment of the
enduring peace among men for
which we all strive.
"By developing among its mem-
bers both a spirit of sturdiness,
self-reliance and a realization of
the need for cooperative effort In
every major enterprise, the Move-
ment Is a prime force In preparing
tomorrow’s men for their duty to
themselves, their country and their
world.
"Here in the United States, the
Boy Souts of America has ac-
complished much In Its 36 years of
service. But today, more than ever
before, we need expansion of its
membership and influence.”
and Mississippi, for the
month of December, 194S, totaled
2,948, as against 1941 for the month
of November, 1945, according to a
report made today by Miss Alleyne
Pittman.
This represents an Increase of
1,007 veterans placed over .the pre-
vious month. This December total
rcjSesents 1,876 for Texas, 781 for
Louisiana and 30 for Mississippi.
During the month of December,
the report further shows that of
the 2,948 veterans securing Federal
employment, 2,841 were veterans of
World War II, and 100 were vet-
erans of other wars.
For the 12 months of 1945, a to-
tal of 20,520 veterans were placed
in Federal employment. This to-
tal for 1945, compared with 10,770
placed during the 12 months of
1944, represents an Increase of 9,-
750.
Due to the drastic retrenchment
program of all Federal agencies for
the months to follow, it Is expected
a large number of Federal em-
ployees will be released. However,
veterans will be retained as long
as possible if they are on a com-
petitive level with non-veterans
and make an efficiently rating of
"Good” or better. Where Federal
agencies are completely abolished
or deactivated, all employees will be
[ offered reassignment or transfer to
other positions for which they qual-’
ify, wherever It is possible.
Future Federal employment op-
portunities for veterans will depend
upon the degree of expansion of
Federal agencies after final recon-
version takes place and the num-
ber of natural recessions from the
Federal payroll. Veterans will be
given preference over non-veterans
In all future examinations for Fed-
eral positions.

promised delivery on various items in from four to six

very indefinite.
