» ■p— —— Disabled Veterans Better Positions In Vocational Training Persistence Is Shown In Continue W)n Jobs Disabled veterans who have com pleted vocational training under the terms of the Vocational Rehabilita tion Act, Public Law 16, have shown | persistence in carrying through their rehabilitation and have significantly j bettered themselves in vocational, terms. These conclusions are indicated by I a spot survey completed by one of the Veterans Administration large region-' al offices of a typical group of dis-: abled veterans of World War II who have completed vocational training. | The earning capacity of the group showed a marked increase. The av-l erage monthly earnings of the vet erans surveyed was slßl before they began vocational training. After com-1 pletion of the training, the average was found to be S3OO. Persistence in their vocation was shown by the fact that 86 per cent of the group surveyed continued in the jobs they had chosen, following com pletion of their training. Os those who changed, it was found additional ly that 6 per cent of the total number had benefitted themselves by chang ing. A third significant conclusion was that the veterans’ degree of disability was not a factor in the length of time he trained. Some of the more seri ously disabled men tended to reach their vocational goals as quickly as the others, which indicated that the guid ing factor was the veteran’s mental attitude and ambition, rather than the I degree of his disability. JMtfMTM.Sj Here are some tips on pruning: 1. Don’t try to change too much the natural habit of the tree or shrub. Example: Keep a boxwood compact by shearing. Thin out a pyracantha or let it grow natural so as to feature the berries. 2. Do light pruning any time the plant needs jt. If evergreens have to be cut do it in March; they will GP be green and growing again. Cu* back flowering shrubs (if needed) irr mediately after flowering. ' 3. Mak your cut next to a limb or I>> d. Don’t leave a stub to die back. I You can direct the growth of a limb b • cutting just above a bud or limb that points in the direction you want ! it to grow. \ ■' Pruning is local in its efeet. New g wth puts out near where the cut it made. To thicken a plant near the g and, make your cuts near the, g and. A pruned plant will try to return! t( - natural shape. Pruning Roses A lot of the pruning can be done during the growing season by cutting long or short stems depending on the gmvth by the plant. If this is done about the only other pruning neces it • • ’ ; ■ . -• . 1 Jones I . . >s9oo ■ PINT $3.25 % or. BLENDED WHISKEY. 86 proof. 72*% grain nautral spirits.

Those roses with exceptional vigor should be pruned to 3 to 6 canes and these cut back to about two feet. The I i less vigorous ones can be left alone ex-' cept for thinning out and removing di -1 seased wood. This type pruning should be done now. With climbing roses it’s largely a matter of keeping them thinned out and the branches shortened when nec essary. Light pruning can be done [ any time. Early spring just before 1 growth starts is a good time to do the J thinning out.
