For Vets Employers
A stepped-up program of ac
quainting training establishments
employing veterans through on
the-job procedure, which procedure
has been announced by Robert S.
Matthews, contact representative
for the Wilmington offices of the
Veterans Administration.
The action is necessitated by the
continued increase in the number
of veterans on-the-job trainees in
Southeastern North Carolina, who
are being suspended from sub
sistence allowances through their
employe’s misunderstanding of the
program.
Francis F. Thompson, and Ed
ward T. Noel, training officers in
the local VA offices, and R. R.
Allen, agricultural training offic
er, are participating in the all
out drive to start the veterans and
their employers off “on the right
foot” in the program, so that in
the future there will be fewer sus
pensions, Matthews said.
