Jobs For Vets
Discussed Here
Aberdeen employers voted Tues-day
night to conduct a survey
aimed at placing more returning
servicemen in business firms and
in trades.
The survey was agreed upon at
a meeting held in the coffee shop
at Graham hall on the NSTC cam-pus
where more than 50 interested
employers heard employment
training programs and aids, con-ducted
by the Veterans' adminis-tration,
discussed by E. A. Tre-vor,
R. R. Deimer and Joe O'Con-nor.
Mr. Trevor and Mr. Deimer
are members of the Veteran's
Guidance Center and Mr. O'Con-nor
represented the Federal Com-mittee
on Apprenticeship.
Decision to conduct the survey
followed a suggestion by J. E.
Gorder that if veterans are to be
trained for jobs they will want
assurance that jobs are awaiting
them here.
A. E. Maas, manager of the U.
S. Employment service here said
jobs are needed for veterans now.
He said his office had placed 90 of
600 who had registered for em-ployment.
Dr. N. E. Steele, president of
Northern State Teachers college,
presided. A Dutch lunch was ser-ved
under the direction of George
Erickson.

Peace On Earth!
Christmas bells ring out o'er wintry plains bringing the age-old
tidings: "Christ is born on Christmas Day." And as they peal, we
hear again the angel choir chanting "Peace on earth, good will toward
man." The word "peace" echoes and re-echoes as the music of the
bells fades away.
The age-less message of Chirst to the world is peace—peace to
the hearts of sorrowing mothers, peace to the mind of weary man,
peace to the nations of all the world. The reality of the angel's tid-ings
press closer about us in this year of final victory. With anxious
hearts millions everywhere watch expectantly for the blessings of
global peace. What are the blessings that the peoples of the world
hope to gain now that peace is ours? The Chinese have three dif-ferent
cliaracters to 'differentiate in the shaded meanings of peace.
One of these means plenty to eat; a second denotes security, home,
and a stable society; and the last—when no one thinks himself better
than his neighbor. The end of a devastating world war has not
fully secured for the world any one of these three concepts of peace.
A total peace is impossible without spiritual peace, Christ's Christ-mastide
gift to all manknd; a spiritual peace as contrasted to the
peace that we have acquired in breaking the shackles of a four year
war; a peace to fill the heart and mind of man. This is Chirst's
offer to YOU.
Hark to the bells as the glad strain repeats. "Peace. Peace!
PEACE! An angel choir completes the refrain: "Peace on earth,
good will to men."

very capable teacher." Mr. Jack-son
